Humodour Posted January 2, 2008 Share Posted January 2, 2008 People who work in fast food shouldn't be allowed to have children. A lot of people smarter and more successful than you worked in fast food at one point or another. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gorth Posted January 2, 2008 Share Posted January 2, 2008 I still don't get how you can not notice pregnancy at all for nine months. I mean, isn't the weight change at least quite severe? How can it be confused with regular weight gain? I think you would be surprised to discover, which lengths the human mind can go to when in denial. “He who joyfully marches to music in rank and file has already earned my contempt.

WITHTEETH Posted January 2, 2008 Share Posted January 2, 2008 People who work in fast food shouldn't be allowed to have children. A lot of people smarter and more successful than you worked in fast food at one point or another. Perhaps his viewpoint didn't mean IQ, but rather welfare and wage wise. Raising a child is expensive, and as a contractor who has gone into many apartments/houses I've seen many people take advantage of the welfare system by having children. At least the people who work at Fast food restaurants work. Maybe I wouldn't be so bitter if welfare recipients didn't have a nicer apartment then me, full healthcare, even nicer cars half the time. Many don't even work just because they can't find a job and have kids, yet they can stay on healthcare for as long as they want. I can hear them cheering me on as I get up in the morning to get to work. Always outnumbered, never out gunned! Unreal Tournament 2004 Handle:Enlight_2.0 Myspace Website!

theslug Posted January 2, 2008 Share Posted January 2, 2008 (edited) People who work in fast food shouldn't be allowed to have children. A lot of people smarter and more successful than you worked in fast food at one point or another. Yes there are plenty of instances in which someone has triumphed through hard times but I'd rather rely on statistics (one's that I have never seen before but common sense points in the right direction) and I'm guessing that most people who work in fast food are headed toward financial destruction and an unhealthy, stressful life. Who are you kidding dude? I mean seriously. Edit: And if anyone hasn't figured out yet I wasn't proposing some kind of law that prevented people in fast food from having children. I was leaning more towards people in bad financial situations, because lets face it the more money you have the better the chance your kids are going to have a better lifestyle in the present and future, should think twice before having a child they won't be able to fully and lovingly support. Edited January 2, 2008 by theslug There was a time when I questioned the ability for the schizoid to ever experience genuine happiness, at the very least for a prolonged segment of time. I am no closer to finding the answer, however, it has become apparent that contentment is certainly a realizable goal. I find these results to be adequate, if not pleasing. Unfortunately, connection is another subject entirely. When one has sufficiently examined the mind and their emotional constructs, connection can be easily imitated. More data must be gleaned and further collated before a sufficient judgment can be reached. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Who are you kidding dude? I mean seriously. well usually if you're there long enough you'll be able to be in a position to become either an owner/operator or store manager (who get FANTASTIC benefits and pay because of the nature of the job). but getting to that point is not something I personally want to do.

Guest The Architect Posted January 2, 2008 Share Posted January 2, 2008 Maybe she's lying. I have no idea why you'd lie about it, but I don't see how a woman couldn't notice that they're pregnant. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thepixiesrock Posted January 2, 2008 Share Posted January 2, 2008 So, if someone has never seen certain statistics before, but instead decides that it's logical to assume that the statistics would turn out in a certain way, are they really statistics?

Atreides Posted January 2, 2008 Share Posted January 2, 2008 Lotsa uni students take part time jobs in fast food places, gas stations, supermarkets and stuff. In uni towns those kinda jobs aren't looked down upon. As the other guys said, chances are the girl asking whether you'd like fries with my order's probably a lot smarter than I am and will go on to bigger and better things.

You're deluded. Here, fast food experience is seen as a starting point for job experience and references, and is valued because of the customer service teachings provided by these places. I can name countless friends at university who have fast food experience. Fast food wage here is average for the wage of any job at the respective age. Also, kids who worked in retail/fast food are more likely to be financially independent, regardless of whether or not they save. And of those people I know who've worked in fast food, the majority refuse to eat there anymore - how is that unhealthy? People who REMAIN in fast food I feel pity for, however. I do hate fast food and would like for nothing more than to see McDonald's crumble. Wait, you're saying people in fast food shouldn't have kids yet? That, I agree with. It's hardly related to this thread, though, since the girl didn't even know she was pregnant/plan it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Blarghagh Posted January 3, 2008 Share Posted January 3, 2008 I eat at MaccyDs. Doesn't that make me even more stupid than the guys who work there? The people in this thread have seemingly already come to the conclusion that the guys who work there are not stupid by definition. Eating there however is quite possibly stupid or insane. I have yet to figure out which. ^__^ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I always thought it was a close-up of some kind of goat. Huh... "Of course the people don't want war. But after all, it's the leaders of the country who determine the policy, and it's always a simple matter to drag the people along whether it's a democracy, a fascist dictatorship, or a parliament, or a communist dictatorship. Voice or no voice, the people can always be brought to the bidding of the leaders. That is easy. All you have to do is tell them they are being attacked, and denounce the pacifists for lack of patriotism, and exposing the country to greater danger." - Herman Goering at the Nuremberg trials "I have also been slowly coming to the realisation that knowledge and happiness are not necessarily coincident, and quite often mutually exclusive" - meta Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
