How do people manage to screw up? Coming from an immigrant family and base, the biggest goal in the first world country for us was to make a better life. I however have seen many immigrants(around 30% or so) fuck things up for themselves. The rest usually go to college or university.
What disgusts me more is how the people already here also seem to fuck things up for themselves. Although the welfare system worked good for fresh immigrants and people who fall on hard times, most of the time its abused by people who stay on it far too long.
Pretty much my family's community of immigrants stayed on welfare for the first 2-3 years here, then got low-paid jobs at farms and factories etc and eventually opened up small businesses. I remember in my housing neighborhood back when I was a kid it was about a third immigrants, a third land-born who work and a third were land-born people on welfare. When I came back a few years later, I still see the same people on welfare and drain money from the country and everyone's tax dollars while the people who worked either stayed there but quite a considerable amount moved on up to home ownership.
Now my wall of text is done and I got it out of my system, I realized I need to start a damn blog and not bother forumfall with my ranting.

Society is full of ignorance, immaturity, lack of intelligence, and laziness.

Life is easy now, so people that are lazy failures can survive no problem. It all depends where you place your bar.

Yes but I'm just disgusted about how the grand scheme works out. If I had it my way, we'd deport all those fuckups to third world countries and bring over those hard-working, morally strong immigrants. Now that'd be a paradise. Making a Liberia for all of America's life failures somewhere in the arctic is a good idea.

Do you expect more from Forumfall?
I wouldn't have answered if it weren't for the above quote, and I won't participate in the discussion on the matter, because I am simply not interested in how America works, since I am Swedish, young, and probably never will live there. That's why I wouldn't have answered, but now that I have I might as well add something myself.
Sweden has some kind of welfare system too, and it's also abused by lazy people, although many immigrants use it as well. We're too nice in Sweden, and it sucks.

The point I'm trying to insinuate, is that there are far worse problems, and far more than just this. It does no good to fret on one such insignificant issue.

I actually agree with you OP, the one thing that pisses me off about this social welfare hate most though is not the people who leech of the taxpayer but the ignorant fucks who spawn hate for immigrants who don't even USE the welfare system but blame it on them. Believe it or not if you look at history this is exactly how the Nazi's were spawned and quite frankly I really do see this happening again in America which is what is making me stay the fuck away, with the way that country is going right now we may well be looking at a World War 3 if we don't step carefully just because of how fucking mental and paranoid a lot of the politicians are in that country.

Why would you rant about lazy people? Unless you can propose some sort of solution for this that does not involve a mass murder.

I don't know, some people don't want to move up in life, they are content with doing nothing and having very little as a result of that. Quite frankly it's disgusting.

Fucking up is easy, I don't know what you're talking about.
I'm sorry if I offended you, are you mentally handicap? Here's an example of how easy it is.
Someone walks up to you and says hi. Instead of saying hi back you take off your watch(do people wear those anymore?) and whip the guy across the face with it.
When he becomes upset and begins to speak. You start screaming "Die honky die!" as you continuously whip him across the face.
That would be an example of fucking up the situation and would most likely blossom into an ordeal that would lead to fucking up your own life.
Here's some easier ways to fuck things up for yourself.
-When people say "hi",
you say "fuck that shit"
-Instead of buying toilet paper just use the money itself(that way you're cutting out the middle man, saving gas and time, essentially saving money before you flush it away)
-Don't always eat food, be unconventional and creative by eating things that aren't food or not eating at all!
-Practice stealing police cars(use real police cars)
-Don't get a job or quit if you have one.
-Hate things more
-Tell people you're going to show them something cool, but then don't.
These should help you to understand that fucking/screwing up is as easy as 1 2 C

After a certain amount of time, if people still are on welfare and are found to abuse it, they should be forced to work low-life jobs that give back to society like street sweeping and sewer cleaning in order to continue to receive it. Or be deployed to the Arctic.
