There's a lot of that here. Some guy's getting old and on the one hand these folks tell him to "get a job" and on the other to "start a business."

We have some real ham handed conservatives here. The guy isn't a parasite, but they treat him like he is.

How is it talking down to him to tell him to use it as an opportunity to do something better vs being a victim? Who needs a job like that? Find a job with a company that has a good work ethic, be your own boss. The options are limitless. Would it have been more conservative to say "Oh you poor thing. Let's take your SS and place you in a nursing home or on in government housing. You are to old to be working".

I know, I know a friend who posted his resume here and looking for help in finding a job, sure there were may here at FR who offered him help and ideas, which is as it should be, but there are those like some we see here who jumped on him "like a bunch of Messerschmidts on a B-17" and called him a "slacker" and a "parasite" because he wasn't in a position to move from where he was and so on. That was so mean to say the least and it deterred me from doing the ame thing. The left has it's own problem with extremists and the Moonbat crowd, but is seems we have our own version of the same problem.
