I don't think everyone on welfare is a degenerate and to make that broad statement is quite ignorant and rude. And no I am not nor ever been on any form of welfare.

Were as I do not completely boycott Wal-mart, I only go there as a last resort. We do our grocery shopping at Woodman's and anything else we pick up at various other stores. My family (mother,father,etc,etc,etc) call Wal-mart either The Anti-Christ store or China-mart. The way that they bully corporations into lowballing what Wal-mart gets from them effects small businesses way more than people realize. My SIL worked at a Wal-mart out of state and one of the things they did there was keep most employees below full time hours so they wouldn't have to pay benefits.

How about a little compassion? These are people trying to work and give their families a better life, but yet they are being crucified for getting some assistance in caring for their children. They don't sound as if they are abusing the system as so many do. I am appalled by people who use,use,use and take,take,take from my tax dollars and do nothing to better themselves. How is quitting working and being a complete burden on the tax payers better????

I'm didn't say we deserved it lol. I just stated that was part of my overall benefit package. I get a total of 80 hrs vac. plus 24 additional sick/whatever hrs. My husband works here also and he gets 120 hrs vac and the same sick/whatever hrs. Not sure why they do it but not going to complain.

Sarah,
We don't use a PTO that I'm aware of,but I could be wrong. We get a paid day every quarter to use in addition to our vacation hours. You can play hooky, use them as sick days, or save them and get a payout at the end of the year along with any vacation time you haven't used.

We get payouts for unused sick days and vacation days were I work. They say it's part of our benefits package and we earned them. So why shouldn't state employees get them?

Napalm,
You're right because quite frankly I would never put myself in a place like that. As soon as stories got out that there were fights and police confrontations most people who like to stay out of trouble stay away. Commonsense prevails in these situations. Hmmmm lets see go have a good time or be in the middle of a bar fight...I'll go where there is likely to not be a bar fight or other kinds of trouble. Now if that makes anybody a racist then you are beyond reasoning with.

Evansvillehousewife,
My family are one of the poor suckers who purchased a cat from Petland. They and my children played upon my emotions big time. We got a full grown female mother cat that no one else would take for a "deal" of $60. Vet papers for shots and supposed clean bill of health. Well she went into heat maybe 3 weeks after we got her. She managed to sneak out of the house and get pregnant. The entire time we had the cat she had diarrhea. I assumed at first it was her getting used to new environment. Well she gave birth to 5 kittens all deformed. Three had deformed legs and couldn't walk, one had part of his brain on the outside, one had his intestines hanging out. All but one died at birth. I ended up having to put both of them down they had feline leukemia. So much for clean bill of health! Now I have children who are upset over loss of their pets. Thanks Petland.
