As someone who has been in mental health therapy in my life, I can only offer this, I've been unemployed since essentially November 2012.  I've had ONE off end job that didn't work out due to the company wishing to change their own ideals of hiring a disabled person.  (At the time i could only work 4 hours per day due to surgery.)  Once I started looking for jobs that "I could" do, it became a huge stressor on me in the fact that a lot of jobs are "beneath" me so to speak, and it would only offer more stress in hating that particular job.  So to say he could be "given" a job that he could do, come on, would you want to really pick up shit all day?

What you're talking about is on the borderline of prison guards watching a bunch of inmates on a chain gang break rocks.  Which is on the borderline of slave labor.  In a "free" society I don't believe the scenario you're describing is consistent with said freedom.

You're also assuming Casio doesn't work.  And isn't putting one over on us.  He could be playing a part for all you know. 

Yes, I'm assuming Casio does not work.  He could, and if he does, great, good for him.   However, looking at how often he is posting videos of himself in his apartment, it does not appear he holds down any regular employment.    So, for the sake of argument, and using Casio as merely an example, let's assume that he is not employed.

What I'm talking about is a free society where Casio can CHOOSE to work and live like the rest of us, and be fed.   If he can't find work, the government gives him options.   Are they great options?  Probably not.  But if he's not capable of doing more skilled labor, then he can either CHOOSE to do what is offered to him, or he can go at life on his own.   I don't see why that is so wrong.    That's not prison, it's an option.

Steelbot, you do not strike me as the type who isn't trying to better himself - aren't you going to school to retrain for something else?    You were gainfully employed by the military.  You have skills.  Although the job market sucks, I am sure you will eventually find work. 

I do agree that unemployment is a useful bridge for individuals who are willing to help themselves and really trying to find a job.   Welfare is appropriate in certain cases.

Handing people money for doing absolutely nothing other than they refuse to be productive members of society is something I do not agree with.

Now, as for taking jobs that are "beneath you", I do a job that is what I consider "beneath me."  I have done this job for the last 10 years.   At this point, I get paid very well to do what some would consider monkey work.   Occasionally, I get to do stuff in my work that falls into my professional skill set, and those times are rewarding.   But do you think I enjoy doing the day to day grind of mindless work?  Hell no.  But I do it because it puts food on the table for my kids, my wife and myself.   It pays the mortgage, for my car, and for the other things in life that we enjoy.    To say it stresses me out too much to do a job that's beneath me is a cop out.   Steelbot, I think you're better than that.  You do the shitty things until you can get yourself the job that is rewarding.

You all don't know, but there was a time shortly after I got married that I used to clean toilets to help make ends meet.  Yes, I literally picked up other people's shit.   Did I enjoy it?  No.  But I did it to get by until I was able to make my business succeed.    So excuse me if I don't feel sorry for anyone who isn't willing to do menial labor.

I was in school, but dropped out, it was becomming harder to focus on.  Beneath me jobs was more of the example a lot of people have that mindset.  I particularly have the benefit of a disabled retired veteran pension coming in, but it's not much.  And in no way a family supporter.  I am more stressed about trying to find a job and making said job work than I am being unemployed, and being unemployed is very stressful to me. 

Right now, I'm just looking forward, and take the future as it comes.  I'm done trying to make everyone else happy and going to worry about myself for a while.

I thought this story from the last link was interesting. And her very valid comments:

Quote
So I'm refusing to let the bullies win. Instead, in revealing my performer name, I'm also going to let you know exactly the level of hate that exists in America regarding women who refuse to be quiet about their sexuality.

And

Quote
In each of her interviews so far, she was sure to emphasize the reason she's doing porn at all is because of how expensive Duke is, even as the elite university argues $60,000 for a year of school is actually a bargain.

"My story is a testament to how f*cking expensive school is," Knox told Playboy. "The fact that the only viable options to pay for college are to take out gigantic student loans, to not go to college at all or to join the sex industry really says something. We need to recognize that there's a gap between what middle-class and upper-middle-class families can pay and what they're asked to pay. We also need to stop looking at loans as a solution to fix our education system, because they're crippling our economy."

And a couple of comments in the list:

Can somebody explain this story to me? There's a student who's also making money as a porn star? And this is making people angry? Can somebody explain the issue here because I really don't understand what the problem is. :S

I once knew a woman that cheated at cards. I hate all women.

It is too easy to target Casio, and make him a poster boy of all things wrong with government assistance.

Of course in a simple world everyone will work and nothing will be wrong. I actually saw that environment... in a comic book.

And to your couple that used to be workers and are now litigious, mentally ill, scam artists... yeah it sucks... for every one of them there are ~2000 in actual need. Sorry the system isn't perfect.

The first controlled LSD study in more than 40 years reveals the drug could be used to help people with terminal illnesses deal better with death.

The study, published in the Journal of nervous and Mental Disease, showed that 12 people who agreed to take the banned hallucinogenic drug during therapy sessions felt "significant reductions in anxiety" about their lives ending.

Most of the subjects involved in the study suffered from terminal cancer, and many died within a year of the trial. However, researchers said those who took LSD as a complement to talk therapy felt more at ease about death and continued to feel less anxiety about for a year after the trial ended.

"The study was a success in the sense that we did not have any noteworthy adverse effects," said Peter Gasser, a private practice psychiatrist in Solothurn, Switzerland. "All participants reported a personal benefit from the treatment, and the effects were stable over time."

I wonder how they'd react if they found out dicks are being put in mouths too.  It's a brave new world where no hole nor orifice is safe from penile intrusion.

Hold on, let's rethink this.
We're all assuming that it's the man at fault.

We have some of the most poisonous snakes and spiders in the world but crocodiles scare me the most because they just seem like mean assholes. Having said that that snake must be one badass mother@#$%er.

You really must stop posting about your sexploits.

Was it consensual? Was the dog male or female? Is gay beastiality considered worse than hetro b?

Was the dog male or female and does that even matter?

Why do we need to label them... just two free spirits... finding themselves
