    [QUOTE]The scammer I know worked the system because most of his income was under the table developing websites.  He was paid a fairly low salary at his taxable job, but he would charge people $2,000-$3,000 dollars to do one website.  That usually took him only about 2 hours to do - he really is a smart kid when it came to computers.

    Ok, you win. You know someone who scans. Anyone elses argument that people really do need the aide is void.

  • I judge people who don't pay all their taxes, whether it's just getting a bigger refund or doing it to collect welfare, etc.

    I make about $2k under the table each year. And I declare every cent on my returns. I find it insulting when people say "isn't it great that you don't have to pay taxes on xx?"

    Also, I judge people who write checks at the grocery store. It's 2011. Get a debit card.

    I double judge people who don't even begin to fill out the check (store name, date, etc) or look for the checkbook in their purse until after all the items have been rung up.

    [QUOTE]In Response to Re: I judge.. : I would argue that if someone on food stamps had a real LV bag that was in good shape that they should sell it. Obviously they need the money more than they need the bag. And the whole argument against that "but it's the one nice item they have for themselves blah blah blah" is baseless. If you're THAT hard up for cash that you have to use other peoples money to buy your groceries then you should be doing everything humanly possible to get yourself out of that situation.

    Because selling the purse would all of the difference in the world, of course.  Oh wait not it doesn't.  If you're THAT hard up, selling your purse is not going to get you back on your feet.

  • Poor people should really just wear fig leaves. But then they'd be judged for being naked.

    Everything they have, they should sell. That 25 bucks they'll get on ebay for the real or fake LV is sure gonna get them out of the hole, that's for sure.

    I judge all the talk of themes. Does ones wedding really need a Barn yard meets Bordello with a splash of Steampunk theme? What does any of that have to do with anything? The way some of these posters work themselves up over things that don't matter and no one will notice is kind of comical. Show up clothed, feed your guests, have a good time and ta da- mission accomplished.

    My debit card expired and for some stupid reason, my SS number wasn't on file so I couldn't activate it over the phone.  I had to use my checkbook.  I should have known better than to get groceries that day.

    Posted by louisvillebride21[/QUOTE]

    I agree with this. My mom had a full-time job and still needed help because she had 2 kids and not enough money. The nicer things we had were gifts. I do, though, tend to judge people who say they have no money then admit to buying something expensive.

    The getting pregnant by the rapist thing skeeves me out. Surely she could have found a better baby daddy, no?

    As for leashes, I don't mind them. I don't think a parent is a bad parent or whatever because of them. Kids are kids, and do stupid kid things, so if they need that extra safety line, then so be it.

    <div>Yaga, I don't know how old the gift recipient is, but your use of the word "kid" makes me think younger than a teenager. In which case the kid probably isn't going to judge your gift because it was inexpensive. A cool toy is probably also going to win out in the popularity stakes over a sweater for most under-10s, but that has nothing to do with cost.</div><div>

  • You clearly don't understand the system then. Them selling a purse isn't going to get them off aide. As I said, you can only make $xxx to qualify for aide. But that $xxx isn't enough to LIVE on. You can't pay your bills and buy food with that measly amount. The $100 profit notwithstanding.

    Holyshit.  They're YOUR kids.  Not wanting to sit for them for free, last minute, =/= not being a friend.
