UBER-HIVE-STRUM!! The Hive to End all Hives...

Sigh.. I hate it when your Gf asks you a question which you can't really answer truthfully without her getting mad or taking your answer wrong. She asked me if it bothers me that she still unemployed and I said, "kind of." Now she's mad since "I'm disappointed in her and think I'm better then she is." Course, those are all words she put into my answer which purposely was as short as possible.

You're upset that she doesn't have a job?

Thats one of those loaded questions anyway. What Bill Engvall suggests is reversing the question. Say this to her, "I don't know. How would you feel if I was unemployed?"

The Desert is getting rain? Seems weird that a desert could get rain.

It's the monsoon season.

Depending on the circumstance, I could see myself being upset as well. If she's attempting to find a job and simply isn't able to [and it's no fault of hers], then I wouldn't be [unless it's been like a year or so]. However, if she hasn't made any sort of attempt, she's mooching off me, and just sort of being a punk about it, yeah, I could totally see myself getting upset. I would feel like I'm being used or something.

Not saying that's how Relique's situation is, but I could see several circumstances which would annoy me and others I'd have no problem with.

Not upset, I'm worried about it since she hasn't had as job in like 2 or 3 years and her complaints often fall into the territory of that certain hot-button political issue that has been plaguing the border states. It worries me since the economy is about ready to tank (no matter who wins the upcoming election), and I'm not sure what would happen if her parents were unable to help her out financially anymore.

I can understand your viewpoint DM, it makes total sense.

Just curious; Would you be upset with a friend if they were jobless and living off of welfare (mooching from the government)?

My answer for you is: If they decided not to look for work since it's easier to get government money or if they decided that they enjoyed getting government cash for having babies, then yes.

Unfortunately, it's a razor's edge.

And what if said friend was unable to hold a job or had a disability that prevented them for getting a job? (lets assume male baby-less fiirend)

Would probably depend on what they're doing in their spare time, honestly.

Then no, since welfare/unemployment was also designed with individuals like him/her in mind.

See, this line of thinking isn't going to get us anywhere because there are just too many factors of pretty much everything for us to answer a simple yes or no.

We should talk about simpler matters which can much more easily be summed up with a yes or no question. Anyone else like the movie Hancock? I saw it yesterday.
