What do you think about people who
« on: September 03, 2015, 08:36:29 am »
What do you think about people who act stupid so they don't have to do anything or so they can draw a check and not have to work?  I am over people acting stupid.  It's like when they get to the register to pay and act like they do not know how to swipe the debt / credit card.  Seriously?  One of these days I am not going to be able to keep the words inside my head.  lol

Are you having a bad day today or what? This is the 4th post you have made today that you are so negative? Maybe go outside and get some sunshine, you need something to help out today :(

Everyone will have to answer for everything they do good and bad.

It's not so much as them being stupid.  They found out how to escape having to work, so they went with the alternative.

No, I am just tired of all the stupidity.  Maybe if I could sit at home and draw a check and didn't have to go out in public and deal with all the idiots out there I could be a happy bowl of sunshine.
And I am not negative I am being real.  There is no way a person can be so stupid that they actually can stand there at the terminal at Walmart and not know how to swipe their debt card.  Especially since they are swiping it 3 or 4 times a week.

That is exactly it.  It just irritates me.  You act like you are too stupid to do anything so either no one asks you to do anything or you act too stupid to do a job so you get fired and after a couple of times you are able to get a check.  But these same people can do anything else they want to do.

Here's my question:  Does anyone really think they are "stupid"???  cause I don't; I think it's their way of getting charity because someone else will feel bad for them and pay for them.  Kinda like the person on the street corner who's begging with a sign that says "homeless" - 9 out of 10 are probably homeless for sure but that 10th one is just getting whatever he/she can get for "free"!!!!!!  It just annoys me!!

The injustice in this world will continue in many forms until that kingdom <government>that many pray for in The Lords Prayer <but dont have a clue what it means>is a REALITY!!!

So my advice to those having a bad day getting upset blah blah.....Bow your head and ask God to give you peace and calmness and how to deal with situations that might upset us.

Power beyond what is normal.Knock and a door will be opened.

I actually do not think it would be 9 out of 10.  Most people who are really in need do not advertise it.  And I know a lot of people have been busted for lying.  And they said they done it because they made way more money.  It is easy to make $300 in a few hours.  Heck, I thought about doing it myself. lol

I am not even sure what your post means.  Nothing in the Lord's prayer has anything to do with the government.  If you think it does you are really confused.  Maybe you are making a joke and I missed it.

And I am not having a bad day.  Stupidity just irritates me.  But like others have said it gets them out of working, having to do anything, and gets people to pay for stuff for them.   To be more specific a woman is at the register trying to pay and slapping her card all over the terminal and smarting off to the cashier because she doesn't know how to use the card because all the terminals are supposedly different.  Okay????  Every one I have seen is pretty much the same.  You slide the card thru the card slot with the magnetic strip inside.  It is not rocket science.  And most def not the first time she had ever used a debit/credit/foof stamp what ever card.

It's not that the person is stupid or lazy but most do not like to deal with the new technology of today.  Helping someone is a blessing at the end of the day.

WOW, harsh words, but I think I know what you mean. I work in a school and sometimes I can't believe that people come and ask us to help them with a letter and I tell them it's also in spanish in the back. They say I know, but I don't know what to do. I just say pick one of these chooses and sign you name and return it. I notice how also they are signing there children out and they don't know how to write the time they put 12. 00. I sometime tell them and show them how to right it. It amazes me how many people can't do the most simplest things. I think to my self I need to be more patient with them.

I guess I just don't understand what you are saying.  Our CURRENT government has nothing to do with Heaven.  GOD will set up HIS Kingdom here on Earth after the 1000 year reign.  But our current government here in the United States has nothing to do with that.  Other than ushering in the anti-christ.

Yes, they are stupid and lazy.  It doesn't matter if you "want" to deal with it or not.  It is how it is.  If it is someone actually new to it then it is different.  But the deb. cards and credit cards have been around for over 20 years.  It is not new.  And 99% of the time it is not the first time they have used the card.  Don't act like you are too stupid to grasp how to swipe the card.  I saw a woman flopping it thru the area where the magic pencil goes.  And I am thinking - you have got to be kidding me.  But it got her attention and that is what she was seeking.

That is the thing.  I am to the point that I can no longer be patient with pure ignorance.  I don't know about any where else but the area I live in there are tons of mexicans and they refuse to learn or speak English.  Most of them can but still refuse.  It gets them out of things.  Or responsibility.  But that is another thread altogether.

Back to my OP - if it is an elderly person or something like that then I totally understand and will help them if they need it.  But here is the thing - if you have a freakin iphone6 in your hand then I am pretty sure you know how to use a card terminal at a register.  But these days people (women mostly) seem to think it is cute to act stupid.  And like someone else pointed out earlier they just might get the person in line behind them to pay for their stuff.
