We’re sitting in class the other day when you start talking about how everyone in the occupy movement should “go out and get a damn job and stop trying to get handouts”.
Considering you’re in school on social assistance and haven’t worked in years, you’d think you would have more sympathy. —Rolling My Eyes at You

Oooooh, in school on social assistance? Perhaps hook this twit up with “Apparently Just Another Baby Mama” from yesterday…….they need to talk
I wouldn’t confuse social assistance with student loans…
but whatever.
just wait until (s)he graduates and tries to find a job…
that will be the day it all comes full circle.
Lots of sloganeering and bullshit on BOTH SIDES.
I love how the Mayor wants less In Camera meetings and more openess.
Someone is full of shiiiitttttttt!
..don’t hate the playa ,hate the game
You’re ALL brainwashed you idiot.
You sound just as scripted as your friend. That’s what makes your arrogance funny.
sounds par for the course.
Must be one of those GED classes. Can’t she make it through high school first time round OB?
i think the occupy movement was suppose to be about the distrubtiion of wealth in society. not about the lack of jobs. There are tons of jobs, just no one wants to work them for minimum wage.
I would love to work on a farm, but there isn’t enough money in it for me to live off the farm, and pay my student loan.
I posted this. No, it’s not a student loan. Apparently, if you’re on welfare, they pay for a big portion of your education. For the record, I think this is great! What I don’t think is so great is people who judge others who are in the same position they are.
I fail to see how what I said was “just as scripted as what she said”.. Care to explain? I’m curious..
I mean, of course what I said sounded “scripted”.. after all, I did write it for a bitch..
What do you really mean though? That I should judge someone who looks down on other people for wanting “HAND OUTS” while they receive hand outs?
Seriously, insight is appreciated.
For the record, this wasn’t meant to be an OWS bitch.. it just happened to be the context that this person brought it up in.
I loved this article.

LMFAO Tim – Thanks for the morning chuckle.
What Ivan said.
That was great.
I am assuming you are in school too( sorry if Im wrong) So are you not also borrowing money from a source for your education? Just because in your mind it comes from a better place doesn’t make it so. Your friend probably has to endure a lot more bs than you do by going through the system, whether it seems that way to you or not. Hopefully you will never have to experience that. As a wise person once said ” one should keep their words soft and tender in case tomorrow they have to eat them”.
Also, are you saying that because of where your friends loan came from , and they don’t have a job( maybe because..I don’t know..lots of classes??) you saying they are not entitled to an opinion on people that YOU compare them too?? Maybe your friend sees themselves as differently than that. Has respect for themselves, and what they are trying to achieve.
