My irony meter just asploded 
If I understand ‘social security’ in the US, it’s like insurance for future disability, yes? And if you happen to sustain a disability, your insurance will pay you for the term of your disability, yes? And regardless of the time you have paid into your ss fund, you will be entitled to payments, yes?
Can someone enlightening me, yes?
Social Security and Social Security Disability are two different things. Almost every worker in the US pays into Social Security, and when we reach a certain age, we start getting money back. We can opt to start receiving the pension a few years earlier, in exchange for lower payments. You have to work for a minimum time (can’t remember offhand how long) and I believe you also have to pay in a certain amount during that time in order to qualify. So someone who only works part time and who is a homemaker for many years might not even qualify for any payments on his/her own, but might qualify under a spouse’s benefits. The person who didn’t work full time won’t get full benefits.
I don’t know how SS disability works.
Boiling it down to simplicity, yes.
From her previous posts (IIRC) I believe curcoat worked for decades and became disabled. I’m sure zeriel imagines he is landing some kind awesome BURN on her with his making fun/jokes on her receiving a disability check but (in my eyes at least) he’s just coming off as an asshole.
Don’t get me wrong, I think curlcoat is a troll. I honestly believe she doesn’t like children at all, but I think she stretches things and says things to the extreme to get a rise out of people here who absolutely cannot control their fingers on the keyboard. She chums the water and they swim right into the net. Honestly, as much as what she says makes me roll my eyes (and I don’t even like kids for the most part!) I have to give it to her because she can get people posting over and over and over until they’re pounding out crap from their keyboards just about as loony as she is.
I’m pretty sure I ran into **curlcoat **at lunch today. actually. My daughter waved from her high chair at a fifty-something woman at the next table at the family restaurant I was at, and said “Hi” in a quiet and polite voice. The woman scowled and muttered something about damn kids always ruining her lunch, why can’t people keep their brats at home.
Y’see, curly, the problem is that given your posting history, no one believes you when you say you only get mad at egregiously misbehaving kids. We’re pretty sure that you’re just mad at kids in general, since your experience of the density of poor behavior is strikingly different from anyone else’s.
I think if you try to put your two cents into a discussion, you might want to knock off the melodramatic whining when the rest of us point out that what you’ve actually contributed is a wooden nickel and a rusty washer.
Eh, one counter-trolls the trolls in whatever way gets a response, IMHO. If I cared about whether I looked like an asshole, I just wouldn’t post in the Pit in the first place.
But these are kids in Orange County, which clearly has the worst children in the universe. I’ve been in many parts of the world (including California), and I can’t say I’ve ever found that the average kid was notably better or worse in diffent places. Kids are kids, and their behavior is pretty universal. But apparently there is some kind of vortex in southern California that produces tiny little demon children.
Or, you know, bithcy people tend to think everyone else is out to get them. But I’m sure it’s the demon child vortex thing. That’s much more plausible.
You are either lying or deliberately misreading everything I have ever wrote. I have never said an unforced handshake is an act of sexual violence.
I’m sorry to say, you clearly flunked basic honesty.
I seem to recall you saying the act of a man offering a handshake to a woman was de facto force, though.
Really? You honestly don’t think its possible that kids playing in the street end up breaking things? Or that there aren’t parents out there who ignore their kids when they are causing a disturbance? You’ve never heard that special shriek that little girls can make?
I have no need to stretch anything, and I don’t post half the shit that happens just the worst of it, and that only if I happen to remember when I come in here. Same with things like ranting about bad drivers, cow-orkers, etc. People rant about shit that bothers them, the difference here is that either there are parents who get defensive because it hits too close to home, or there are parents who really don’t get that raising free range children is bad.
Uh huh.
Actually, it’s not, there are plenty of others who have shared stories like mine. It’s just that I couldn’t give a tinkers damn about what you think of me, so instead of you shouting me down so I’ll go away and let you do whatever you want, I keep reminding you that obnoxious children are not cute nor should the rest of the world (i.e. normal parents and others) have to put up with them.
I have no idea if your daughter actually is as good as you say, but with your attitude I’m betting not. If you are really getting random strangers muttering at you about your kid, you might just want to step back and see if it at all possible that your darling isn’t as wonderful as you like to believe. I mean really - if a random middle aged woman scowls when your kid addresses her (if that story is actually true), why do you automatically blame the adult? There is really no chance that your kid wasn’t being loud, or repetitive, or in some other way irritating?
Which, of course, I’ve never said but you go ahead and keep making stuff up so dingleberries like Zeriel will believe you.
Do t use logic against her! It’s RAPE! :rolleyes:
Wait, didn’t you say that your neighbours and other people complained about your dog sometimes? So is this an admission that your dogs really are filthy barking curs? Because apparently anything bitchy strangers say must be the truth!
And Zeriel, again, I’m sorry that I let you know that curlie is a nasty old cow. Really. It was meant to be a secret.
Frankly, with her attitude, I bet that’s true whether she said it or not. The average person who bitches at length about annoyances no one else can see is typically the guilty party regarding a similar or the same malfeasance.
This is the part that amuses me most. As though no one could come to the conclusion she’s a hateful bat with no perspective on their own from a plain reading of her posts.
Because she was wrong. Pretty simple, that.
Yep. No chance in hell.
Of course, the funny thing about that is that you’d readily claim there’s *really *no chance that you’re experiencing confirmation bias and there aren’t that many badly behaved kids out there. The difference is, you have a posting record revealing you to be a child-hating old bat with no perspective and insufficient ability to self-examine on a variety of issues.
I know, I find that funny. She really likes to claim that I ‘lie’ about her and somehow force other poor, unsuspecting people to believe me. Like it’s impossible for someone to read her words and think “my, what a sad, deranged little troll” without some outside input. I came to that conclusion all by myself, so I have no idea why someone else couldn’t. I don’t know why she thinks I have this magical power to make people just hold the same opinions as me. I wish I had that power in real life.
Did you really think that’s logic? Sometimes people complain about barking, which means the dogs bark not that they are “filthy curs”. Zeriel complained about a stranger calling his kid a brat, so I suggested he might have a look at why, other than the stranger must be a “bitter old cow”. You know, like how I try to ensure that my dogs aren’t barking, and I certainly don’t let them run loose. Most times when someone complains about something, or a collection of somethings (dogs, kids) they have a good reason. When many people complain about those same things, it’s probably an issue, and unlike these blind parents I realize that many dogs are a major pain in the ass, so I work to make sure mine don’t add to that impression.
So you and Meyer6 going out of your way to bitch about my complaints means…?
Same thing to you that I say to Meyer6 when he posts crap like that - cite.
Oh, and don’t think I didn’t notice that you were unable to respond to most of my post. All you did here was claim your daughter was acting like an angel and the stranger must have some sort of problem.
Anyone that makes the claims you do and cannot back them up with even one cite is lying. The only question is whether you actually believe those things, or if you are merely projecting.
Curly, ignoring your vapid, inconsequential, pointless arguments and watching you get butthurt is ha…actually, no, it’s 100% of the fun of interacting with your worthless ass.
Yes, it is extremely bad manners. And any man that cops an attitude upon being informed that a woman doesn’t have physical contact with unrelated men has an entitlement problem and boundary issues.
Obviously your reading skills need a brush up since I couldn’t possibly get “butthurt” by some random stranger on the internet. It isn’t me who is refusing to answer simple questions, making claims of angelic offspring or overreacting with venom at a complaint about kids you don’t even know and most likely never will. Nor did I jump in to string together schoolyard insults simply because someone disagrees with me.
See, that’s why I keep picking at this - some day I’ll be able to figure out if folks like you are hypersensitive because you know, at least subconsciously, that your kid is a brat and you fail as a parent; or that you really are oblivious to how shrill destructive kids affect others. Or maybe it’s you feel that since your kid is the center of your world, it has to be the center of everyone elses as well no matter what she does? Dunno, since I really don’t get this mindset people like you have. If someone came in here complaining about their neighbors dogs barking or shedding or whatever, I certainly wouldn’t assume the dogs they were complaining about were anything like mine. Why in the world do you assume that when I, say, point out some odd child raising theories, it reflects on you and yours? :dubious:
Agreed - watching her spin into a frothy rage while simultaneously insisting that she is cool as a cucumber is quite hilarious to me. When she starts screaming “liar, liar, prove it, PROVE IT!” - well, LOL. I have no idea why she imagines that we would just randomly choose to disagree with her for no reason, but I guess she it makes sense in her fevered mind.
This has got to be your all time best at either comprehension failure or purposefully misunderstanding, as well as projecting your own reactions off on me. You (should) know that I’ve never screamed anything; when I call you a liar I only type it once per post and don’t capitalize; and “randomly choose to disagree with her for no reason”? That’s the best one given that I just listed three possible reasons.
Of course, even if I did scream and froth while calling you a liar, that still doesn’t excuse the fact that you do, er, make up some pretty tall tales out of whole cloth.
