Give me a break. ANYONE can make more than minimum wage who is not mentally handicapped. Anyone. You don't try and raise a family on minimum wage unles you are a loser with no motivation. Like Dar said, I can understand someone who might need to take a short term job to survive. But this would be a short term deal.

It would probably be very painful to be where the Real Presence (the Blessed Sacrament) is. I can imagine him at a Mass when the priest lifts the consecrated host (which, as a Catholic, we believe to be God veiled under the appearance of bread and wine)...a bolt of lightning shoots out and slays him just like in Indiana Jones and the Raiders of the Lost Ark.

You can't do this very well if you are getting minimum wage and living in a toilet of an apartment.

I think work is honorable. I think pride goes before a big fall. And I think braying about what 'losers' people making minimum wage are is about as low as it gets, and when we look back at the disgusting comments you've puked out here over the years, that's really saying something.

On the other hand, at least you don't deny that the only parable you know is that of the Talents. You might want to check out the one about the Rich Man and Lazarus? Also look up what happens to the Sheep and the Goats? They're all there in your Bible. You know, it's that book you keep in the cabinet and all covered in dust that you drag out and put on the coffee table when you have people you want to impress over.
Originally Posted By fkurucz >>The ignorant don't understand that God calls for a man to take care of his family.<< I agree that a man should take care of his family. But I also think that a man who loses his middle class job due to circumstances beyond his control, and who instead of abandoning his family (which is what a real LOSER does) he does what he can to provide for them, even if it means working 3 low paying jobs, he is a hero, not a loser.

Glad to see you contributiong again.<< And not an admin in site. Amazing.
Originally Posted By fkurucz >>You might want to check out the one about the Rich Man and Lazarus?<< Of course we all know that Lazarus the beggar was a LOSER and the rich man was a WINNER. And WINNERS never help the poor, and in fact treat their dogs better than they treat the poor. I suppose that Beau wouldn't change his mind, even if the rich man were to return from the dead to warn him.

But if you are using your minimum wage job to support your family you are a loser. Don't act like you havn't read the other posts about short term situations in life. The democrats love to push the minimum wage issue as if this is going to help a person raising a family. It's not going to help anyone.
