Logan 5, I'm actually quite shocked that you're backing this guy up. Everyone else has been negative, by post or by thought, or neutral.
What are his redeeming features?

what do drugs have to do with contributing to society?Uncle FEFL said:@Logan: I actually have a job currently and I am contributing to society. I go to school and arrive every day I'm able to. I take AP classes. I get good cumulative GPA's on my semesters in high school. I don't do any drugs. I have ambitions and goals in life. I'm doing PLENTY for society. Don't try to tell me I'm not just because of my AGE.

did jimi hendrix contribute to society?
didn't einstein do cocaine?
i think you'll find that drug use isn't an indication of contributions


purplesludge said:Uncle FEFL why are you so negative towards him. He has not indicated where his money comes from yet you insult him by saying he doesn't contribute to society by not having a job. He didn't say he mooches or that he doesn't pay his taxes. For some reason you think you are better than him without even knowing anything. Before you insult him why don't you let him explain what the situation is.
Are you serious? That's not the only reason why. He CLEARLY stated all he does is watch anime. Not having a job but looking for one is understandable, but not having one *at his age* and not looking for one is not.monkat said:I'd laugh if OP is really just a giant troll...he would probably be the least obvious one I've ever seen

Yeah, mate...you don't have too much room to talk there. In fact, going to school is you consuming from society, seeing as it's funded by taxes. We let you sit out until 18, but you're not really contributing anything.
Uh, what? I'm putting the taxes to good use, instead of using it up like most students. Plus I'm helping by paying those taxes myself, lol.
Jesus, how do you define a contributing member? What does a sixteen year old kid have to do? I have a job. I help my mom pay bills sometimes. I buy my own things now. What else is there that I need to do? What else is there to do? What other things do you, or anyone else, do?
I'm neither self-righteous nor a prick (well, in my opinion I'm not a prick). HE HASN'T HAD A JOB IN SIXTEEN YEARS. HE'S ABLE TO WORK. HE'S NOT WORKING. Where else can he get the money from? His wife?Logan 5 said:The fact of the matter is that no one knows the circumstances to this mans unemployment which means that it could be just about anything. It takes a self righteous prick like you to just assume that he is on government money, or that he doesn't deserve it.
Don't put words into my mouth. I never said he was undeserving. I just said he's an asshole if he's not trolling. There's a huge difference. I don't know what he did before 1994. That's irrelevant anyway. The fact of the matter is he needs to get his priorities in order instead of getting BJ's and watching anime. Is there something in that that you disagree with?! If so, WHY?

All of that sounds very self-righteous.QUOTE said:I actually have a job currently and I am contributing to society. I take AP classes. I get good cumulative GPA's on my semesters in high school.

Luck is another thing that's fairly subjective. You could say I was lucky to find my prospective partner, but if not for the effort I made to network with people in the industry it wouldn't have happened.monkat said:Urza said:If you're not a moron, happen to have a lot of luck, thousands of dollars in startup money, and time galore it's pretty easy to make a living without wasting your life working for someone else.
There - fixed that for you
So, if someone accuses me of being something that I am not (just a lousy, lazy, incompetent sixteen year-old), and I give them evidence otherwise, that makes me self-righteous? Should I have just humbled myself instead and let him spout bullshit?purplesludge said:It is your attitude of I contribute to society that makes it seem like you think you are better than anyone without a job.

You do realize that there are several ways to earn money without having a job. If he had enough money he could simply live off the interest. There's a guy in my city that does that. What if his wife does have enough money. What does that matter. Should he take a job from someone if he doesn't need it. Also where does he say he is able to work? You said don't put words in your mouth well then don't put any in his. You do realize that there are several disabilities that can keep people from working.

I actually don't make enough (at least $8,000 a year, or so I heard) in order for that to happen. My taxes stay away forever. Although, if there is some other reason why this happens (I don't exactly want it to happen because I like paying taxes), then that is pretty awesome.smash_brew said:I'm assuming that you live in the usa based on your flag. When you as a minor have income taxes taken out of your check, assuming you didn't file as tax exempt due to your age, you are entitled to that money back at the end of the year in your tax refund. what ever money you are paying out you are getting back untill you turn 18. just wanted to point that out.
