I am glad you all live in awesome places where nobody ever abuses government aid, but from my experience... it could be cause I live behind the former iron curtain was... where's it's corrupted and corruptable.
So I apologize if I offended somebody, but I will not apologize for saying there's people everywhere who will milk any system that is prone to be milked.

Our system is far from perfect. Instead of being milked, it rejects people who really need help which sometimes is a death sentence.
And you indirectly say I don't make efforts to support myself.
You know.. sometimes it's not ONLY about that. Even if I cannot for my life have a real job even part time, I don't have a leach attitude. I pay back the ways I could, even if it's not in money. I try to make a difference best I can. For example I dog sit 6 time a week so my friend can work. I offer a support site online since 2002. I learn things every day and I share my knowledge freely. I help in the ways I can.
I'm not perfect at all in your eyes, I take meds and I'm on disability. But I refuse to see things in black and white and judge myself from the eyes of my healthy surroundings. I base my beliefs and morals in something within myself. That means I'm NOT going to beat up on myself for my inability to work for money.
You don't need to apologize to me, but know I'm will question things when I have a different opinion. If you say what you think, you have to allow me to do the same.
