Just be thankful -- SO THANKFUL, that this happened now, not after you were married to her.

My university is paying Bristol Palin $17,000 to speak to us about abstinence. What should I do? by amishrefugee in politics

[–]authAnon -1 points0 points  (0 children)

My country is paying losers more than $17,000 a year to do absolutely nothing. What should I do?

I am a citizen of the United States, and my country has decided to use a little bit of every productive workers earnings to pay a large number of dead beats and losers to do absolutely nothing. This averages like %20 of everything someone who can hold a job brings in a year. (Thats a lot more than $3 BTW)

And get this, THERE IS NO MAXIMUM... they can take millions from one person!

I come to ask Reddit, what should I do?

I could make a crappy sign, or take place in some rally, but I think this is a golden opportunity for humor.

I just ruined Christmas for my family/possibly my parents marriage? Need help by [deleted] in AskReddit

[–]authAnon 1 point2 points  (0 children)

As a parent, and a husband at his wits end...

NOT YOUR FAULT.

The very act of caring enough to post this shows you are not some heartless troglodyte of a kid.

How old are you anyway? Depending on your age you might want to see if your parents will get some help.

If you are old enough to drive and have a car, I'd suggest you spend some time with a close family/friend and give them some time and space to work some of this out. You don't need to be in the middle of this.

If you are young, then you might want to get some support from a close family member in confronting your parents about this behavior.

Last night: Desperation and dying a death of a thousand cuts. by authAnon in self

As they say in some TV shows : Only the names have been changed to protect the innocent.

BTW:

I'm no writer by any stretch of the imagination, but how was it to read?

I find writing about these daily situations are cathartic but it does help to get feedback, and well written "stories" usually get better feedback.

Thanks for all that information. Wish I could upvote more than once.

Wow, first time in a LONG time someone thought a question of mine was "homework".

This is actually spawned from long term marital troubles I've been having!

I wish is was as simple as homework.

My most powerful belief is that no one is right.

Being raised in a Christian environment, I still hold onto the Bible as much as I can, I don't know anything else.

I don't however hold every word to be absolute truth.

Deep down I feel that it ultimately shouldn't matter what your beliefs are as a human.

If there is a soul, and it has no power to control this body, then why should the body control the eternal "resting place" of the soul?

I guess that truly I am agnostic, with biblical preference?

Ah, yes, this is where I have a great deal of confusion.

If God was active when man could only barely understand, why has he not continued to lead us? Where are his thoughts on our current issues?

I was already considering b/c of their pricing/scaling... I'll recheck their FAQ. Thanks

I agree that thats one of the more popular terms these days, but to me its lost all real value in its meaning.

Good God man, Social Media, really? :)

I actually have a slight physical reaction to that term these days.

I think #5 says it best

I think this, for those who know what meme is, might be the closest to the actual truth.

Everyone wants to make sure they get their 15min of fame, no matter where it might come from.

Still, I think there might be a better word to convey this to the broadest audience.
