I had a 'stay at home' mother. Now she stands wihout any reasonable pension....

Yea mine decided on age 49 to finally become a nurse

after i told her for years to go and do it already

its not as if at the time my siblings and i couldnt take care of ourselves when it came to food

the problem i see with this corruption thing is the same thing as what, a now dead, criminal professor here once told

People are more upset about the guy that knocks over a women and steals her purse

My mother quit working, as a nurse, after having me. Later returned to working about age 16-17 as a frame carpenter (you know the frames around paintings). Now she's 56 years old and working her small business, not making much but still something.

But it sure sounds like you had it harder than i did, growing up

then about that guy that steals a million of customers

eh im used to live on virtually nothing

Yes, the passion for the lowlifes on the streets is great for some reason

The job i got now is like im making gold every day or something by comparisement

Sounds like a good development. Mind me asking what you do?

I design circuits for engines and machine equipment, electrical engineer

aah i see, very sad that you don't speek swedish them, the language allows for a terrible amount of very bad puns when it comes to electrical engineering!

But like today for example, you had the MSM here pushing out that 2017 was the deadliest year for US shootings

and the ppl commenting

Theyre usually pretty balanced and decent, except when it comes to the US

I must be honest, i am no expert on US death stats

117 in 2017 they claim

deadliest in year

sounds low..?

Took me 5 mins to find the chicago stats for 2016 in just 9 months

500 dead +-3000 wounded by gunshots

hah that's ridiculous

Sometimes I wonder, if the science could justify such an authoritarian idea, what it would be like to force all children to be raised at the bottom of the barrel and work their way back up. Only allowing help from the parents like inheritance and the like after like 25

I have seen black snow grenade

I have not lived on the streets that i did not

But i know what its like not to eat, lets put it that way

but i dont need the sympathy

i can get that from family

or rather i got it from family back then

I have never been in such a position. I can only imagine it must build caracter?

For me it was about learning to put priorities

and being very depressed

Altho now im good with money

I dont need the latests gadgets at all, i dont even have a mobile phone except the one i have at work

Well depression i can relate to!
Being able to handle and keep the money you earn is rather uncommon today, atleast in my country

Dont have a TV either and i never had since i moved out

couldnt afford back then, now i just dont care

Why have a TV when the internet has it all...
I find TV a generall waste of time

well the government takes half, something you must be familiar with in swedistan
