I think there should be a new law for humans. If you're going to make a statement like that, you should be forced to walk in their shoes! - Mo Kargas

One of the potential jurors was like that. I wanted to punch him in the face. - Anika

That's awful. :( - Jenny H.

smh - Anne Bouey

Ugh. - John (bird whisperer)

been there and fought hard. Once when I was working in a restaurant peeps were bitching about sect 8 and such and how can they do that etc and I turned around and said I am one of "those" and never heard a word about it again. - VALZONE#SCREWED

Most of the feedback I've gotten outside of here & Facebook is along the lines of "get a job stop wasting my tax money" because of course the assholes don't even understand how section 8 works or what it is. (this part is about jerks in general, not the landlord jerks) - Starmama

I unfriended my aunt on Facebook because she was spewing ignorant hate speech about people who need government assistance and why hard working tax payers shouldn't have to support them. I wanted to tell her that my dad was on government assistance when he died, but I bit my tongue. I don't have room for that vitriol in my life. - Jenny H.

Empathy is lacking because nobody (that's an asshat) realizes just how close we all are to economic collapse - one bad hospital stay for instance any unexpected thing can put us over the edge... Be well you are in my thoughts - WarLord

If I feel like engaging, which isn't often, I like to ask people what they were doing in 1983, 1993, or 2003? Because I was working 40+ hours a week for decades, paying sometimes pretty high taxes and paying into medicare & social security. Anyone who complains about me & their tax money can kiss my substantial ass. - Starmama

Yeah, the calloused attitudes towards those who suffer hardship get on my very last nerve! Don't people realise THEY could be without a job due to circumstances beyond their control?. Don't people realise that the economy isn't exactly robust right now, and hasn't been for a good few years? Don't people realise that there are those who have no immediate or maybe even extended family members that can help absorb some of monetary deficiency in the lives of others? Don't people realise that they aren't in a position to condesend to ANY human being when they don't have enough information about an individual's life to draw the shortsighted and oversimplified conclusions that they do?.Don't some of these same people stop and consider that maybe they have mismanaged their own personal finances to the point of being three steps away from skid row themselves, but only for the padded pocket of family and friends that THEY have remained afloat and in somewhat stable condition, sparing them from having to rely on gov. assistance? I also see this same attitude directed toward the plight of others who experience severe hardship on a global scale. And mostly it is due to the corruption on the part of the powers that be the world over. Yeah, this rant will never be over for me. - JB
