I made my boss a lot of money for years. I was my boss.

Now I make they company I work for a lot of money. I own a piece of that company.

Working every day for a paycheck is for people who lack the creativity to structure a better deal for themselves.

...because we aren't 6 year old girls?

Any large collection of adults will have all kinds of personalities. Some will be more dominant than others and will have more. I quote I got from a friend of mine's uncle speaks to this type of issue:

Excellent post!

And our education system puts too much emphasis on becoming workers.
We were always told in art school....to go out and create a job for ourselves.

I dunno if one of your kids are girls or boys...but just you wait on 6 year old girls being unified. 6 year olds are mean...it's a really mean age.

Other than high school, I've never had a job in my life. Unless you count the Air Force and that wasn't my idea.

I used to work with a guy who constantly used "that's how we've always done it" as his excuse for every stupid thing he did. Drove me nuts. If you've recognized that it is stupid then why haven't you changed it? It's the old saying from your mother about your friends jumping off of a bridge.

The excuses I get from people about why they can't work for themselves astound me.

"It's too risky" - Bullshit. When I walked into a new contract I knew exactly how long they would employ me and if they tried to cut me loose early they have to pay me a penalty. Your job could end tomorrow and they don't owe you shit.

"I need benefits" - Yes you do. Get them for your damn self. Or are you too f**king stupid to make some phone calls and set up some health insurance and get a SEP IRA? If I had a time machine I'd go back and shoot the first jackass that said a company should supply health insurance. It's been downhill ever since that day.



Lastly, I'd like to be the first to invoke Godwin's Law, you f**king Nazis.

BS! Some of us are dumber than others, where's my fuggin' handout, I want it NOW NOW NOW!!!!!! :p

Yeah, I understand what you're saying, but it's sort of an economic issue too. Lots of jobs are generated from illegal drugs. It supports an industry that produces paychecks for police, prosecuters, prison administrators, contractors who build prisons, court personnel, etc...

The costs of keeping people from abusing their own bodies is pretty large, but it does give folks a paycheck. And yeah, it takes a paycheck away from those who are locked up, and whatever taxes they may have been paying, and yeah, it costs you and me some $$ to house, feed, educate, hospitilize, warm, cool, administer and guard these dangerous people who abuse ther own bodies, but hey, it produces a few paychecks for others.

So, I guess it could be worse.

So, if I work hard at selling drugs and get rich I won't go to jail?
Fuggin sweet!
Who's buyin?
