F that shit, man. You need to pimp it. Go the hospital once a week for something and have them prescribe some nice pain killers for you....just keep telling them you have horrible headaches -- eventually they just give you vicodin and/or codiene. Fuck it, you've already paid for it, use it!



I dont get vicodin or codeine, I'm allergic to both ;) I get demerol, morphine or perkidan :-p But that besides the point, I dont go to the doctor at all unless I have broken something.



Fuck it's been 30 years since I fucked up my back, and the doctors dont seem to know what is wrong, aside from that I have vertabrae that are disintigrating(sp), I haven't seen my back specialist in over 10 years because he's a fucking retard, and all the drugs they prescribed me for the pain didn't fucking work after time and all i did was get addicted to pain killers.



So now I'm drug free, and I still have back problems, in 18 years I had 15 Spinal taps, and 22 mylograms, Both involve needles that are upwards of 10+ inches in length, and a cylindar that is the same diameter as a golf ball, and they REALLY fucking hurt.

I guess I read things wrong, it looked like you all have the option not to pay into welfare.





I want a damn option to where I can opt to pay welfare or not, and disqualify myself from ever receiving benefits if I don't pay.

My last week check:



Current Gross: 507.00

Federal: 52.68

FICA: 38.78

VA State: 21.44

Deductions: 5.00

Net Pay: 389.10





You get 77% of your check, I get 76% of mine. Plus, if my check was $900, I'd be in a higher tax bracket and have to pay even more taxes. The only thing that is different is that we pay a 4.5% sales tax, and a 9.7% (or something, it's between 9.0 and 9.9) tax on fast food/restaurants.

Damn, ok so I'm so far out to lunch. Please feel free to ignore my ignorance at any time :(



I really feel like a retard right about now :(



Sorry if I insulted anyone with my ignorance, I really didn't know how good we actually have it up here. It just seems that things are a lot worse than they really are I guess.



Is it true that any american Kid at the age of 18 can get a creditcard? I was in ICQ last night and this guy from SoCal was tellin the room that every kid is basically given a creditcard when you reach 18? He was sayin that he's like 150k in debt?

Damn and I thought being 25k in debt was bad, but my is a Student loan, and I cannot Section 12 it. (bankruptcy)

Well, nowadays kids have credit cards when they are twelve. Their parents simply open them a bank account and they get a check card in which their parents route their allowance into. It's all about being lazy.



But, yes, at 18, you can get an actual credit card. As long as their parents didn't fuck with their credit as they were growing up. When I turned 18 I had about $10,000 in judgements against me on my credit report from my brother and parents. I had to get everything cleared off, but once I did and my credit report was clean again, I got fifty credit card offers in the mail. You can't get $150k in debt from that, though, because once you fuck up your credit, you won't get any more until you fix it. I'm about $10k in debt and it would be damn near impossible for me to get in any more debt on my own, I'd have to have someone cosign shit for me. Credit card companies and the like check your credit report before giving you credit.
