This sounds like a movie synopsis. I think it’s much more clear cut than that.

I have a cousin who went off with carnies and started out as a grunt, then rented a game booth, the bought a game booth and now has 10-15 booths he rents out. He makes a very decent living now and he doesn’t do much except meet up with the carnival in weed legal states.

Life is cold and brutal and if we are honest with ourselves the only person looking out for us is us.

I do support PP and realistic sex ed. I think I was told to talk to my pastor if I wanted to have sex. I am also for responsibility and accountability. If you have kids, that is your number one priority and all you do should be in service of making things better for them. Not everyone has the luxury of being a…

George Carlin said there are two knobs on the radio.....

My point exactly, thank you!

Please google the list of writers and producers for the HBO show.

I guess my point to all of this is do something (which I gave my perspective on) or suck it up and stop complaining. I have no pity for your bad choices. Only you can help you.

Nice attempt to make me feel bad. Do you feel better now? You don’t know me so you armchair analysis carries no weight. If you have to try to make someone feel bad in the course of a discussion you have lost before you began. 

I didnt say anything about not having children as a solution to poverty. I am talking about this person in this situation. I ask myself who is getting the fuzzy end of the lollipop in this situation? The kids are. They have no choice in the situation.

are you kidding? Dod you know the rent on waterfront property?

Mother do you think they’ll drop the bomb?
Mother do you think they’ll like this song?
Mother do you think they’ll try to break my balls?
Mother should I build the wall?
Mother should I run for president?
Mother should I trust the government?
Mother will they put me in the firing line?
Mother am I really dying?

Hush now…

If stating the truth is trolling, I guess I live under a bridge.

You should read that whole post.

I am no better than her. Never said I was.

I was in a union in the meat packing plant which helped me pay for college. I vote for people who are pro union. That is my contribution to the struggle.

having kids is not a requirement either.

see, I had this situation too and no one will like my solution. I cut all my expenses to the bare minimum, saved up some scratch, and moved.

That would be a responsible thing to do if the cost/benefit worked out. I did exclude rape from her reason for having children. Last time I checked sex isn’t a physical requirement to do anything other than reproduce.

I hope she does.
