I just read a note somebody wrote on facebook that said something along the lines of he doesn't believe in a minimum wage and he thinks the gov't should shut off the utilites of poor people in the middle of the winter if they can't pay. He then proceeded to introduce his own version of a "modest proposal" by suggesting we start eating poor people ( Read more... )

While I obviously didn't have a chance to see this note (must not be a mutual friend,) I would hope/assume that this person doesn't actually espouse these beliefs ( ... )

It is ideas such as these that has sank this country into the toilet.....And by the way, if you go downtown anytime soon to "Serve", be sure to repeat to them everything you just put here, and don't be angry with them when they rob and beat you so they can feed their families instead of doing something productive to society to make money (like picking up trash, which you don't need and education for). Just keep in mind, they are a "product of their society" and you should not judge them.

i'm not sure if you've read the vinenews that we got in church sunday, but there is a section in it about using the healing center to help find a job that suits you. maybe you should check it out the next time you're home? what have you got to lose? (in the paper it said someone got a job at shriners burn center)...plus they might have a job you would like at vineyard that you would actually get paid for. they list them in the program every week...i'll keep checking for you.

Yeah...I have no idea who left that comment, but I really hope that none of my actual friends think the way that person does. I would lose a lot of respect for the person if that were the case. But, like I said in my reply to them, I feel incredibly sad and sorry for them.

Can you really see me as a clown though? They are so creepy. And I hate performing in front of people and dressing up in costumes.

The clown thing was a joke. I can't really picture anyone as a clown. Anyway, I can't really give you advice on what type of job you should get. It is the type of thing you have to decide for yourself.

About the going to college thing... if you've gone to school at all (and I think that's required for children to go to school, although I'm sure they don't all), you HAVE met someone who's gone to college. Your teachers.
