I can't argue with a fool... it would be foolish. Come back on here when you have experienced the real world.

What difference does that make?

"Thinking" isn't work. That's something that should come naturally. Take a look at my ACT scores and IQ test scores for an illustration of HOW simple thinking can be.

So unless you're doing manual labor, you're not working?

Correct. It's the only thing challenging out there. Using your muscles causes lactic acid to build up in your muscles, causing fatigue. How many muscles does "thinking" use?

Ohhh! That partially explains it! Why don't you make more money so you can support more people. Kind of self-centered of you to only make enough to "get by". If you made more you could help more. Maybe, when and if you have children you'll feel more motivated to put your cojones on the line and try to do better then 'just getting by' for their sakes.

Then people should stop whining and think!

So now you are going to tell people what careers are of real value? Good luck with that.

If I have children, it's THEIR responsibility to take care of themselves. It's a little thing called self-reliance.

Self-reliance is good. If people can do that, they don't need to concern themselves with the silly rich.
