They should be placed in third world countries where there is f*** all for government assistance, no food banks, no welfare, no free services. Maybe they will then shut up

I wasn't born in this country so ALL Americans that were born here should have a better start then me right??? So you would think. Go ahead and raise the minimum wage you'll regret it later and you'll want even more cause then everything else will go up.

Sure you're back, what happen you got snatched in a sting op. You blather so much. I proved you to be a liar, just get over it. Move on, try another site and do it all over again, after all you don't care and anyone who ask for proof is an idiot.Let me see how can you prove anything via the interweb... Ah remember I'm the idiot, but he still ask, got it, video tape your receipts, darken vital info and post it, at least lie about, make it up thats all you got.Gave to many ideas, heh.
By: 161803. on 20 Jul 08, 13:12:39
Now that I'm back from vacation, I would just like to say that you are an idiot. How can I prove anything that I said via the interwebs? Either you believe me or you don't; I really don't care either way.
By: senserdog. on 04 Jul 08, 10:11:50
161803, Back to proof, so far none. There is really not much more here, you have proven to be worst than a lair. A challenge (English Grammar, Syntax, etc.), a private email was sent to 161803, couple of days ago, as you might quess they refused. {Btw, your grammar is getting(sic) worse!} What you've got here is merely a tactic, to avoid showing any proof or basic knowledge of logic.
By: 161803. on 02 Jul 08, 02:26:57
"Home rental requires property insurance" What? No it doesn't. At least not in any state I've ever lived in. Btw, your grammar is getting worse!

Home rental requires property insurance Above cost per a month.

161803, now all you have to do is advice us in what state, I have done a search thru some states already and those states figures don't match yours, so just tell us what state of the Union...Here are my figures rent 250/mo natural gas 25/mo etc. I can make up any #, since when just inserting numbers makes it crediable, never. "you're generally Aren't worth the trouble"?. 161803, you are so wishy-washy, tea and soup, etc. Gives us "PROOF". "Petro a give away"
By: 161803. on 01 Jul 08, 01:57:11
Rent: $450/mo Electricity: $20/mo Natural gas: $40/mo Water: $25/mo Phone: $25/mo Internet: $20/mo Health Insurance: $70/mo Car insurance: $30/mo Petrol: $30/mo Food: $120/mo Incidentals/misc: $50/mo Total = $880/mo = $10,560/year But I really don't know why you're getting so uppity about all this. You need to learn to relax.
By: senserdog. on 01 Jul 08, 00:27:05
161803, your personal attacks are all you have, no concern? 161803 says, ROTFLOL. 3+responses= no concerns on the part of 1618--. Attack all you need, you still won't show proof, because you don't have any, your own quote, its a lie. We now can see that 161803, never had any proof to begin with and ended cowardly attacking and running off. The least 161803, could of done was to explain in deatil. It can't it can't remember the last lie it told.
By: 161803. on 30 Jun 08, 02:30:21
Get a grip, dude. It's not really a great concern of mine whether or not your believe me. People who can't tell when to use "your" rather than "you're" generally aren't worth the trouble.
By: senserdog. on 29 Jun 08, 22:33:10
161803, I was being diplomatic with you, you took it right off my mind, in you're own words yes I do believe you come into youtube and make up lies, you want to fit right in and at the same time put people down. Again, rather then give an opinion show us a factual amount of evidence, just because you say it doesn't make it true, now show us proof. Elizabeth, 161803, rather blather on without an ounce of proof, because there is no way to prove such, as it never happen.

Oh you make me laugh. Want me to post my tax returns for you to gaze upon? Here let me give you my social security number while I'm at it... So, anyway, that's what I do. I go on Youtube and make shit up. It's such a fulfilling past time.
By: ronaldec7. on 29 Jun 08, 01:23:13
senserdog, Maybe i am misunderstanding you or you me. But just remember the Gov't is not your friend. Getting people a wage increase may be nice, but like a drop dealer giving out free first time hits, they will come after you sooner or later no matter what you make. We should be thinking of ways to make ourselves better and not depend on the Gov't. The guy in the Video should have skills by now that would give him a good wage. Does he look like a teenager to you?
By: senserdog. on 28 Jun 08, 06:23:48
161803, your all talk, rather than go-on about something you can barely prove, show us hard facts. With what you have just said you can't make it in any state of the union. Before you post again show us the facts.
By: senserdog. on 28 Jun 08, 06:21:05
ronaldec7, you make a good point and I think we will cut your pay to 4.50 an hour, this will dismiss you're taxes and surely you will be better off.
By: Elizabeth01010101. on 17 Jun 08, 00:20:21
I don't even think 10 is high enough, but then again I live in California where things are ultra expensive. I think it should be as high as 14-15 per hour.
By: SoulFlower69. on 31 Mar 08, 04:21:45
Senserdog..It's like a "dog whistle" only a few can "hear" it and really understand what is going on, the rest continue to chase their own tales, instead of questioning the gov't that continues to get a pay increase but leave those that make a true difference, keeping this nation running, the lights on so 2 speak, to scrape for the last few pennies. America is a debtor' society, and education does not always define the income of an individual, esp, in these times.
By: 161803. on 31 Mar 08, 02:23:31
For a year and a half, I rented a 2 bedroom house, had a car, medical insurance, high speed internet, heating, air conditioning, etc., etc., on $10K/year. And if I was really trying to pinch pennies, I probably would have rented an efficiency apartment or gotten a roommate and gotten by on $8K/year. From your comment, I infer that you have no clue as to what frugality means.
By: ronaldec7. on 28 Mar 08, 15:33:29
How can you be that old and have no skills that will get you more pay. I work two jobs, TWO and I may go to a third. I work very hard. My second job deals with the min wage and tips. On adverage I get $15 an hour from that second job. Why, Why can't you do that. What makes me differant from you? I struggle just like you. The government will tax you more with a increase. They have already raided the Social Sercurity trust fund and need more money, so lets raise the wage and get more tax money.
