"I think comments like these are more likely propaganda than real experiences." You would be incorrect. I'm right here, a real person, with real experiences.

"I think comments like these are more likely propaganda than real experiences." You would be incorrect. I'm right here, a real person, with real experiences. "You read the parent comment and think the poor and just lazy and all your have to do is work yourself a slave and suck corporate dick." I assume your trying to say "the poor `are` just lazy" and that wasn't what I said or was trying to say. To the contrary, I think it's much harder to dig yourself out of a hole once your in it. In my case, during that period, I went from working in a high-rise to applying at Jack-in-the-Box because it was the only thing within walking distance and I couldn't even get that job. I for one got lucky and found some opportunity, but that wasn't my point. My point was that, for me, hitting rock bottom, having a minimal safety net (i.e. not sleeping outdoors), was just enough for me to change my life perspective. If you want to talk about your experiences or opinions, go for it, but don't dismiss mine as "propaganda".
