minne that sucks. Just read most of it.
Don't be a stranger tho. Check in every couple day so we know you are okay.
I'm lurking... site is my homepage on my laptop and phone, LoL. I'll be back more, after we figure out Oregon. I'm not going to stop being a mod, either... just gotta be ninja about it, because I don't have a lot of time, and don't need to add to gwn or Sunni's workload.
I'm glad for family... without them, and the boss lady, I'd have given in to that urge to go back to the wrong side of the law. I'm very disgusted with people in general. Most that I've met are conniving hypocrites with almost no redeeming value. It's funny, people call me a criminal, but I don't commit crimes, society refuses to work on reintegration, claiming recidivism. Well, of course I'm going to commit new crimes. I need to eat, I need to sleep, those cost money. When I'm ostracized because of a felony, and refused the opportunity to work, what options are left?
I'd get on disability, since I did work and put lots of money into the disability and retirement funds, but I need things like insurance and doctors and forms that can only be filled out by certain doctors that I can only have access to once I get disability... so, to get on disability I need to be on disability. To get insurance I've either got to have a job or be on disability...
People whine about how criminals keep re-offending, but refuse to keep their end of the social contract implied with laws and punishments...
Next time you see a guy robbing a store, or using the employment office as a shooting gallery, and heard that he got outta prison six months or whatever ago, think about this: did he have a choice? Was he actually given options that would have allowed him an alternative form of income, that didn't require crime? I've applied for over a thousand positions...
