A quarter a day? What is that, 10$ a month? Big deal.

Quarters. Not a quarter a day. And to pay a bus fare that be about $1.50 depending on where they live.

i agree with number 25.

Anybody have any change? I just need some money for the bus! Change? Change? Change? Change...

ALL THIS TALK OF CHANGE HAS GOT ME RILED UP FOR A POLITICAL DEBATE....

Yes he would... four quarters....

Easy Duh! Only have dollars then!!










LOL!!!!!!

Time to take a couple rolls of quarters and shove them up his ass!!!

Some people are conscious about the environment and prefer to use public transport over driving a car.

Other people live in my city and want to hold on to sanity, which is nearly impossible driving a car here. Traffic is insane, but there are separate tracks for buses so you are better off taking the bus most of the time. Our CEO usually comes into work by bike though he does have a car and makes way more than I do.

But yeah, he shouldn't steal.
If he wasn't carrying change, he should have put it back.

yeah...typical environmentilist...stealing change to change the world



but its all for the better
[/sarcasm]

__no_one__,

It makes perfect logical sense for someone to take the bus. Unfortunately, it damages the boss's image in the eyes of his employees. It makes him look weak, dependent and impotent. Not at all like a BAWS.

I'm not saying that's right, it just is.

The OP deserves it for not being a cannibal.

You are a massive douche.

Cry me a river. Rich people get rich by taking advantage of opportunities. Poor people stay poor by not taking advantage of opportunities and by giving their money away. Poor people don't like to face this fact, because it would mean taking some personal responsibility for their situation.

Instead the poor prefer to complain about how unfair life is to them, how unfair it is that some people are rich and they aren't.

The great thing about America is that anyone CAN become wealthy, if they're willing to put out some effort. The sad truth is that few people are truly motivated to do what it takes to get there. The rest would rather believe that they are owed a comfortable life without having to work for it.

Bravo, Ferraricake.

Love the sarcasm, Luckster. =D

FC,
As someone who was obviously born with a silver spoon stuck up his ass, you don't really have a right to comment on this.

Get out of you bubble and take a look at the real world.

You're proving my point. You assume I was born rich and have no understanding of what life is like for the working poor. Which means you're probably one of those poor people who I'm referring to in my post. I've never seen a silver spoon in my life or had one up my ass. But I don't expect to be handed one either.

My family was middle class and I've been working since I was 12. I was taught that I was owed nothing by anyone and that if I wanted something I could work for it.

And I'm doing just fine. Some people believe that whining and crying about the situation they've put themselves in will convince others to donate to them. At best, people will pay the whiners just so they'll shut up.

What the hell are you talking about? The OP isn't sitting at home and taking in welfare checks, she's actually working and making money. The boss is working and making money too, but he's stealing her money. I don't know which America you're living in, but if your America considers stealing as an "opportunity" to get rich...oh wait it already has happened.

You're an idiot. Middle class IS well off. In fact, I never assumed you were raised in a mansion but some house in the suburbs with a white picked fence. Don't try to prove me wrong because you know you can't.

I was born in to a poor family, and yeah i've been working my ass off since I was 14.
It's really scary that there are so many people like you so ignorant to the world. Not everyone has the advantage of growing up like you did so why don't you stop pretending you're some rags to riches story.

You didn't become well off by working at mcdonalds as a teenager, paying your way through college then working your way up from the bottom of some company, so don't act like it. You couldn't handle that.

I think you'll find it's incredibly difficult to become rich from nothing in America. Even in the UK, our gloriously left wing country, social mobility is relatively low. In your country, there is a great problem, perpetuated by snobs like you. A poor person does not have the same opportunities as a middle or upper class person. Think about early education; think about healthcare; think about universities and colleges. All three of these areas are important to leading an enjoyable life. In most of Western Europe, all of these are provided as much as is practically possible to everyone who can be given it. In America, to your credit, early education is provided for by the government (although its standard I am not sure of). Healthcare and university fees, however, are not. You say you have been working since the age of 12. But that work would all be for nothing if you ended up shelling out thousands for operations because your family can't afford insurance. It would all be for nothing if your family couldn't afford to send you to a decent college. You are a lucky person if you have been born into a situation where all of these things can be paid for privately.

And the constant view of socialism is that luck should have NO place in the advantages we are given in life. Of course, it can not be fully eradicated: people will always be cleverer or stupider, stronger or weaker, taller or smaller. But this is no excuse to withold equality from those who deserve it as much as you. I, myself, have found myself to be incredibly lucky: born into a middle class family in a strong MEDC, going to a private school, being the smartest person in my year at said school, representing my city at maths and athletics. And do you know what? I deserve none of it. I am a lazy dick. On the other hand, I can think of thousands of enterprising, hard working children who were not as fortunate in the gene pool as I was. They will be provided for by the state, as our people recognise that everyone deserves the same life as everyone else. Unfortunately, in your country, thanks to people like you, there will be millions of children who will do all they can to escape the squalor they are born into, but will be witheld by your right wing politics. The Cold War continues to hurt people, as 3 generations of Americans were brought up with the ridiculous notion that Left=Evil. If you can escape your childhood indoctrination against liberalism, the world will be a better place.

I think you'll find that it is difficult but very plausible. I have to say I love guys like you who are worthless to society and humanity on a whole as you admit but you believe that this somehow gives you some authority to dictate to everyone else. My own family found it that way, and while University fees are not paid for by the state, though it does offer assistance, if you work harder and show greater prowess than your peers you get a scholarship. Our state classically has always had a degree of social mobility which is not true in European states beyond gaining on some basic levels due to income taxes and a few years ago corporate taxes which limit investment power and thus limit opportunity. The fact is while you are younger you generally are going to have your ability to move due to the chances of having medical costs being lower while otherwise in this more mobile stage you are than taxed for this. Classically our state has always been a place where someone without an education even could start their own successful business. Even today people do this, but because of taxing for those same programs that channel becomes much harder as well. In fact these systems force more and more one channel and less independence creating not the best scenario for evolution of strategy and theory. You have taken away the merits of hard work and defended those who don't like yourself. I have known many people who have risen through the ranks and in fact my entire family has come a very long way. It was more common years ago when less of these programs were implemented. Of course there is some merits to Social Darwinism as well.

"I have to say I love guys like you who are worthless to society and humanity on a whole as you admit but you believe that this somehow gives you some authority to dictate to everyone else."

What? I don't think of myself as worthless to society. I fully intend to do as much as I can to further human knowledge in science and to help as many people as I can. I also do not plan to 'dictate' anything to anyone. I am merely excercising my right to an opinion.

"You have taken away the merits of hard work and defended those who don't like yourself."

Have I? I imagine that our views are fairly similar, but we have not gotten them across fully. I believe entirely that hard work is the most important thing in our society, and that, as I said, enterprising individuals should always be more deserving of what they have. Come on. Let's imagine a pair of identical twins who are separated at birth: both are incredibly hard working, and both are incredibly intelligent. But one is raised in a rich family, and the other in poverty. You can not deny that the former will do better in life. I do not wish to abolish the virtues of hard work: I wish the opposite, to make it far more effective in terms of raising quality of life than it is now.

And scholarships? I won't pretend to know a lot about the matter, but in my knowledge, Harvard fees are extortionately expensive, and only one full scholarship is offered. This means a hard working but poor student with 170 IQ gets their place, while a hard working but poor student with 165 IQ will be left with a smaller scholarship, and may not be able to pay the remainder of the fees. Conversely, at Cambridge, fees are only just over £3000, so many full scholarships can be easily provided. If I'm wrong about this, just ignore it :P.

Yeah... if your change bowl is easily accessible to others, you're just inviting them to make use of your change. If it's YOUR change bowl, put it in a locked drawer.

This.

Is brilliant.

LMAO... "deadly sin". Those were created by some nut-job monk in the 6th century.

And technically, no... "greed" is not one of the seven deadly sins. You're thinking of "avarice".

Isn't "greed" synonymous with "avarice?"

So, if avarice is a deadly sin, greed should be, too, since they're the same thing.

Am I missing something?

This is why the human population will end because of people like you.

I agree.

impressive

are you fucking kidding me?

i wonder if you're aware of how fucking annoying you are.

How the hell do people think up these things?

this is the most asshole-istic comment ive ever seen

Are you really that stupid? As of 2009, women make up more than 50% of America's workforce. And by 'trans woman' do you mean someone who was born male and had a female sex change, because that has nothing to do with your job opportunities. Some big companies may be a little wary about hiring women in high positions, because some people are still fighting that this is a man's world, but if she can do the work, and do it well, there are more than enough companies that will hire her.

Ferrari is right, anyone that is willing to work their butt off to get a good job, can get a good job. But the government gives welfare out too leniently in my opinion. I've seen people that I KNOW are on welfare, and they're going out to dinner every other night or buying expensive clothes and jewelry, and sadly, I have even seen some people using money that SHOULD be spent on food for their children on drugs instead. I think getting welfare should involve thorough background checks and health exams to see if you have any drugs in your system, and social workers need to keep an eye on families to make sure that money is being spent in the right areas.

The government is fueling the view that you don't have to work and you'll still be taken care of, which means taxpayers who work their butts off have to pay more taxes, and work even harder, to take care of the people who don't want to work. The young children growing up right now are being shown this vision of so many people NOT working, and still getting taken care of, and still bashing the people who DO work their butts off as people who were born into life with privileges, not acknowledging that those people are paying their way through life. So these children are seeing that this is something acceptable, and will grow up to do the same thing, and teach their children to do the same thing, until there are no motivated people left to pay the taxes to support the lazy people.

To the OP, that does suck if he's been doing it every day, but if he was just telling you that he's taken a few quarters, it's no big deal. Everybody forgets things sometimes, and you don't really clarify how MANY quarters had been taken. I'm thinking it's not even a big deal, and definitely not FML worthy.

Ever lived in Seattle? That is the main mode of transportation while working/being in school.

NYC is another perfect example.
