Holy ****, this **** has to stop. plz move to BBV cause this is where threads like this belong

NoLimitNinjaBri happened. Ignore function is your friend.

so many haters on this site...lol!

Admit it, you're glad I'm here.

Your not coming across as charming or intelligent, your coming across as a arrogant and juvenile.

wondering if anyone has advice on how to revert/improve myself: i actually would rather read the 2p2 forums, play starcraft, read reddit for hours rather than do anything else except possibly watch tv shows.

i wasn't always like this, but it seems like since i found poker i've created this kind of routine lifestyle and have trouble breaking out of it.

correct, ol poker specifically can take a toll on ones social life.

You seem like a very happy person.

Now go to work with a big smile on your face, knowing you do your 'civic duty' you self-righteous douche.

I like the cut of your jib, harsh as it may be. probably does need to be that harsh tho.

It really really does need to be that harsh.

If a grown man doesn't have the motivation to live out, in this case, the scummiest of lifestyles, then a harsh and severe wake-up call is definitely in order.

Mooching off of your girlfriend, and the government, because you simply don't want to get a job, is the definition of a low-life.

It would be different if:

1) He was actually trying to get a job
2) He was contributing to society in some way
3) He was critically injured and simply couldn't work
4) He paid into the unemployment system when he was making money
5) He claimed his poker winnings when filing for unemployment benefits
6) He wasn't such a selfish, whiny, entitled little pussy.

How this guy can take social assistance to pay his expenses while telling someone else he "works just as hard as them" at his non bill paying poker "job" aka hobby. It's not your job if it isn't paying your bills.

It's simple: get a job that you hate enough to motivate you to play poker full time. It's not any more complicated than that.

While I agree he shouldn't be leeching off the gov't until poker somehow kicks in for himself, you just seem to be bragging about what an excellent superhuman you are. superdad, superstud muscles, super smart, and super ambitious. not to mention you saved several years of savings up. you're my new hero

Mods, I am disgusted by what I have read in this thread and I and many others believe that you should have stepped in a long time ago and put a stop to this. Shame on you too.

What makes it even more worse is that this is the psychology section!

There is at least one poster who should be banned from 2+2 and I would strongly advice that he should go and seek the help of a psychologist or psychiatrist for his mental health issues. Maybe get some government provided anger management counselling would be in order!

Jus callin' 'em likes I sees 'em

Yeah he definitely has some rage issues to deal with. If he is literally fuming in real life because he reads a story, that's a real problem. The sorry fact is, there are always going to be sorry losers who take advantage of social programs at the expense of the rest of us. Some will have more kids to get more welfare, or will get laid off at a seasonal job and work a cash job under the table while getting unemployment cheques. It's shady, and while I agree it's wrong, it's up to the people around them to speak out and say something about it.

Ninja, I'd suggest starting with Anger Management for Dummies. It helped me, alot. I hope it can do the same for you.

YOu make it sounds like I read this story, then got in my car, drove 90 mph while cutting off traffic, flipping middle-fingers until I got home and then beat my wife senseless in between fits of throwing chairs.

I don't need anger management. And I don't have rage issues.

I'm passionate about my beliefs, and one of those beliefs is a capitalistic system where the smartest and most dedicated workers reap the most rewards. This kind of system is accepted, at some basic level, in every advanced civilization, so it's not debateable.

So I get super-pissed when someone comes along and chokes that system, and the wealth earned by the smartest and hardest working has to be redistributed. I'm not a monster, I understand that there are people who ran bad in life, have disabilities, or circumstances where the need to rely on certain programs. It's fine, and I've even done it myself.

However, in this case, the OP is exploiting the system. He's not only taking money from me, he's taking it from people who REALLY need it.

If that doesn't piss you off, then there is something wrong with you.

Well you're the smartest hard worker here, why don't you figure out how to stop guys like him from milking the system, instead of just being a whiner about it? If you aren't here to offer a solution, you're clearly not doing anything but complaining aimlessly.

And as far as your rage, you just rationalized your behavior by comparing it to something more extreme. Also, you said earlier you had enough savings to last several years, why would you have ever needed to take advantage of social programs? Like you said, it's for those who need them right?

NoLimit- whether there are remnants of truth within the rants you are posting on here, you have pretty much derailed this guy's thread with your anger issues and yes you have them. You pretty much turned this guy's thread in a whole different direction and made it about you. WP

ninjabri: your beliefs are not well grounded and they lead you to hate people you don't know. congrats.
