Veegie just because you may have had a lot of free time on your hand's doe's not mean everyone else doe's...
infact while i was at college i didn't have a job mainly due to 8 assignments per week which took a entire night to do even one of them.
Doe's that make me lazy? Hell No!.
So get off your high horse and actually broaden your narrow view that everyone should have a job before their 18 or even 19.

I didn't have free time because I had work.
I had time to work because I got my shit done in school.

Also, don't lace your posts with terminology like that in the future.

That's an extremely bad subject to make a point of in regard to your original response to my claims.

I do agree that this topic is a little pointless. You both have made valid points, but they were points that don't really belong in this thread. I'm not trying to tell you how to do your job Veegie, nor am I calling you out, but I do suggest that you create a new topic in the Cafe for discussing this or carry it out in PM.

I haven't gotten a job yet because I want to enjoy my young adulthood as much as I can without a job getting in the way. I used to want to go get one, but seeing how much my friends miss out on things kinda turned me away from it. School definitely is a factor for me as well.

I fell asleep writing my paper. It's now 6:37 PM and I only have 776 words out of the 1,400 that I need.

I also don't think my printer works. :/

QFT. I'm going to show this to my parents, who want me to get a job now (I'm 15).

I disagree with you. Getting a job allows you to use more of your childhood. Are you really utilising ALL your time that you could be instead, earning money? I'm sure there is a lot of time spent doing nothing at all...That's pretty hectic use of your young life ;) Heck, the jobs you'd be getting at your ages would be pretty damn simple, it would earn you enough to buy the things you want and like and allow you to go out frequently. And how much time do you spend at this easy job? Not much at all, thats the great thing about casual jobs as a kid. A lot of flexibility and you earn decent money (unless you choose a shitty job)

By saying you don't want a job to fulfill your childhood won't be all too great when your friends have jobs, you are left doing nothing whilst they're at work. Then all of a sudden they'll have money to spend and what can you do? Nothing, you have no money unless you are a spoilt child dependant on your parents money.

Your parents aren't going to give you lots of cash all the way until you get your big full time job. No, they will start giving you the minimum for things, such as schooling and food, luxuries is what your going to have to earn yourself. And whats a childhood without luxuries? :P

My Rant is the following:

I hate it when people type replies out like so.

Of course it makes the box where your text is bigger.

So what.

It's annoying.

Alright Insane, seriously dude. I've kept my cool about it, and a lot of other people have too. I don't want to be a Nazi about it, but stop double spacing your posts like that. There's absolutely no reason your posts need to be that long with such little content. I've had to edit your last two posts because they've taken up two full pages of my monitor (which is at 1680x1050). If you're going to make large posts, cut back on the line breaks from now on...mmmkay?

As bad as that is, I smiled.

I don't think it'd be appropriate to use that at school though. She was really loved by the people at the school (sooo many people were in tears like, all day).

I've received multiple complaints about your posts from other users who shall remain anonymous. Overuse of line breaks is violating a rule. Of course, we're not going to ban you for it or anything, just...try not to make a post of about ten sentences two pages long again. :|
