No, the lazy aren&#039;t additicted to sloth, their poor little ego&#039;s have been bruised and damaged by their father&#039;s addiction to success.  Therefore the lazy aren&#039;t responsible for expecting everyone else to clean up after them and pay for the roof over their heads so they can sit around watching whatever tripe hollywood has dished out on any given day.</description>

		<description>Yes, I am female but I am an addict too.  I am addicted to a roof over my head, paying my heat, electric and water bills.  Addicted to eating, paying for my Internet service and my car insurance.  

I&#039;m just wondering if these same psychologists would describe the lazy as addicted to sloth?  Perhaps.  I think they are just trying to drum up business.  

While there are some workaholics out there, it is pretty ridiculous to call people addicted to success.  UNLESS...you intend to open a rehab where you can charge the successful and wealthy $50K a month to become &quot;clean and sober&quot;.  What a scam...</description>

		<description>Helen, just never mind the comprehension skill impaired.

What you wrote was honest and heart-felt and my husband and I really appreciated it.

The article with which you had much chagrin over gave me the same ugly vibe and you worded your feelings succinctly and with compassion.

THANK YOU.</description>

		<description>Toads, you are whack. You don&#039;t need to convert to Islam to be a male chavanist pig and you may wanna rethink that when the nukes come. 

You are whack, buddy.

Take it down a notch. I love men and women equally...

CHILL.</description>

		<description>Marc, I think Toads was making derision, umm a guess he got a &quot;bad&quot; divorce !!!

well as far unemployment rent, it&#039;s not susidized, it &#039;s an insurance that is paid by, both, the enterprise and the employee, the boss&#039; part is bigger thanthee employee&#039;s, that is deducted each month on your salary bulletin.

While my hubby never encountered unemployment in his whole labor life, he could benefit of this favor, also because he had already worked longer than the requierred legal time for pretending a retirement, that he could have got at 56, if he hadn&#039;t been a canadian emigrant for 3 years, the real time there wasn&#039;t counted but half of it ; and also because his level of qualification was high in his domain, the agencies were not able to provide him some useful links, so they let him warn out his rights, 2 years, in the meanwhile he was a part-time worker in my enterprise, so he could justify of an occupation, that prevented him from doing further researches until  retirement (which was at 60 years old for the pre 1950 born babies and now  at 61, soon at 63...), besides he had a few appointment from &quot;heads searchers&quot; that went under the bus afterwords because of his age, so he had no &quot;hope&quot; to find an equivalent job,  and if it was for &quot;driving a wheel barrow&quot;, then it was preferable that he did it for me !!!</description>

		<description>#49 Marie Claude - Incroyable!  You sound like you live on another planet.  Subsidized rent for unemployment?  No rush to get back to work?  Bizarro world.</description>

		<description>#51 Toads - Your post was extremely ugly.  You have an obvious hatred towards women.  You&#039;ll fit right in with the Islamists.  They, too, hate women.  Just don&#039;t expect most American men to join you.  We love women.  We may dislike the PC crap they&#039;re fed, but we don&#039;t hate them.  Hate the sin, but love the sinner.  Lots of wisdom in that Bible thingy.

  I won&#039;t get into just how many hundreds of millions of people Islam has killed and enslaved.</description>

		<description>#56 YourNameHere - You&#039;re right.  There is a small difference.  Napoleon once said, &quot;The difference between a battle won and a battle lost is a small thing, but there stand empires.&quot;  Same with marriage.

  My ex and I fought all the time over our 17 years together, because I refused to let her be my boss.  She bought into all the PC bull about what a man is supposed to do for her, and not the other way around.

  Being a husband and a father is very fulfilling, but only within certain parameters.  A husband is not an employee, nor is a wife.  They are each supposed to provide things for each other.  In a way, it&#039;s a good business relationship... with benefits.  You seem to be on the right track with your desire for mutuality.  However, this can only come when the woman hasn&#039;t been indoctrinated to believe that a man&#039;s point of view is invalid... and vice-versa.</description>
