There's a guy who has three kids, won't keep a job for more than a week, thinks he's "entitled" to Welfare while he deals drugs ("I do it for my kids", yet the kids never get the money used on them).

Or the "mother of four" who popped out her first kid at 16 and is working on #4 as she just turned 21. Another "fine" Welfare recipient who pawns off her kids on "grandma" and uses the threat of "you'll never see your grandchildren again if you don't do "this" for me or give me money." This "person" also has her cigarettes rolled daily for her by "grandma" because she doesn't want to pay for them. "Grandma" also has to deliver these cigarettes to her.

Then there's "I'm a GOOD mom" who would rather take on extra work hours so she can avoid being around her kids. "Good mom" also has a "baby daddy" who has threatened to beat the Hell out of one of the kids (not his) and steals "good mom's" money so he can buy illegal prescription painkillers that he crushes up and snorts up his nose. Meanwhile, he screws everything that moves but "good mom" doesn't believe it because "he's a dream.

I could do this ALL day...

Look, if these people are considered worthless, might as well just label 50% of college students in the past 5 years worthless as well. I can think of far more worthless people than the ones listed even though they have questionable ethics at best. Try welfare; at least the parents in this case actually take care of their own despite their poor advice and their children who didn't do any future planning.

I use myself as the perfect example. I did very well in school(one of the best in the country) with a degree in Finance and it wasn't an easy process to get a job. Til this day, I have no idea why this company gave me a shot with this ridiculous of a salary, but I recognize that I am one of the lucky ones.

Cue O-trap to come on here and write a book about how great marketing is and how valuable marketing is to society. :thumbup:

Worthless may be too harsh a word, but it's ridiculous that they are basically just living off their parents. Better than living off the govt, though the son and baby momma were on welfare for a but while she was pregnant or something.

They have a baby almost 3 years old and a baby almost a year old. They live at home with HER dad and guilt trip my aunt(his mom) and our grandma into driving them EVERYWHERE. Neither one of them have a drivers license, and she works the bar minimum to get assistance. She has a degree in graphic design but doesn't use it. He's been in and out of JDC, but I don't think he's been in big boy jail yet.

He tries to be friends with me and talk to me at family functions, but I can't stand to look at him. There's other stuff but I wont get into that.

Another person would be my brother-in-law(see my post on What's Your Number). The guy works for Ford as an engineer and makes $90,000/year. He'll be 30 within the next few months and still lives at home with his mother. He sees her struggle with her bills after she had to take a DRASTIC pay cut but still only gives her ~$200/month, which is about 15-20% of the monthly house bills (mortgage, utilities...) because he says 1. It's not his responsibility to support her and 2. He can't afford it. In the last year he's bought a boat and a "new" truck and paid cash for both. He regularly comes home with high end food and a few times brought home Kobe Steak leftovers. He leaves her house a mess and throws parties like he's in his early 20s still. Not you're typical POS, but a POS non the less.

He brags about it. :mad:
