    Ahh the fact that working individuals are constantly penalized while the lazy people taking advantage of social programs continue to get more and more free crap all the time. :) Also people the fraud, waste and abuse in social programs.

    AMEN!!!! :smile:

    I have several but the latest and top of my list is gun control!

    Also, infertility treatments / insurance coverage and just healthcare in general! Its a joke

    Child abuse, politics, religion - those are the big ones for most I think.

    Oh and stupid people. I get THE STUPIDEST comments about my children!

    Time Warner Cable!

    *I don't have many options here in Maine, and I hate that they can do whatever they want and get away with it!!

    Go buy a Roku and watch internet TV - we did this and got rid of Cable since we were in the same boat!

    If I can only pick one it would have to be government. Corruption and wasteful spending abound.

    People who feel the need to say stupid things about social programs when they have no knowledge of them.

    I never say anything about it but it stings every time someone says this because it feels like people don't know that some people need this help...I am one of those people,,,believe me, you saying that makes me feel no worse than I already feel about "getting free crap" as you say...let me tell you I am living it up on the disability that is $980 a month and $16 a month in food stamps...I am not lazy...I have been very sick...and you can't see my sickness on the outside and it is like that for a lot of people...I just think I appreciate what I have and do the best with what I get and maybe you could consider that more people need it than you think sometimes...just a thought

    I have no problem with people getting help who truly need it like you do. Life isn't fair and we are all handed a set of cards and have to deal with them; however, there are many many people on assistance who can work and get a job, but choose to not do that because its easier to be on assistance. THATS my irritation. My husband used to work in the grocery business and every month this certain family would come in and buy all the crab legs from the seafood shop and pay for it with food stamps. Thats ridiculous! They should be eating ground meat and turkey like my family is and we have a 6 figure income!!!

    Don't get me started on government assistance and the way things are just given to people who are undeserving.
    Free rent, cell phone, food stamps, spending money, child care........

    Also, the education system and these pesky standardized tests :mad:

    healthcare in the USA (costs, corruption, etc)

    or

    the huge tax refunds people get for having kids - especially those with relatively low incomes. I am very liberal, and totally support people who need help receiving help. But they DO NOT need thousands of dollars in cash deposited to their bank accounts at tax time. It does not make any sense whatsoever.

    I won't say more because I will just get all out of control LOL

    Vegetarian/ Vegan cats.
    Owners that have pets and can't afford treatment.
    People that haven't got a clue what or where their indicator is in their car.
    Parents who can't control their children.
    People who dress up their pets.

    People who don't clean up at the gym. :/ I'm known as the OCD Mom at my gym, because the first thing I do when my husband and I get in the weight room is to run around and put up all the weights that are just sitting around.

    Just put up your effin weights, really. It can't be that hard for a bunch of grown men and women.

    1. Other ways to lose weight besides diet and exercise... especially Slim-Fast and HCG.

    2. Religion, oppression of homosexuals, abortion (especially since I don't identify with "normal" Christian views.)

    3. The prison system and the child support system, or just the court system in general.
