I have enough money to do anything I want, but instead of 'fucking' around I have worked, earned money bought houses basically invested in the future but I am missing the now. I am fully aware of this but just can't change it, just the way I am.

On the topic of prostitutes, in my building there lives 3 escorts, 2 in one apartment across from me. First they earn a shitload, apartments in my building are expensive, over a million quid in value the rent is out of this world. I chat to one of them and I did ask why she does it and she said its for the money. She earns around £80-100k a year pays very little tax instead of the 45% she should be paying and said that if she got a normal job she would never be in a position to earn anymore than £30k a year. Which i can understand in this day and age in such a material world if letting randoms fuck her for money allows her to live in a high end area of the city and buy expensive cloths and shit, well what can you do. Its the easy way out though.

And yes I tried to fuck her but without paying, which failed miserably but I gave it a shot. I do agree that banging escorts is actually cheaper than a girlfriend.

Your posts are always on point.

I'm not happy with my life because I still don't have a full time job and I don't know when I'm gonna get one. I've given the employment office 17 jobs and outta those 17 jobs, I've been to only 4 interviews and I haven't been called to let me know if I got the job. Looking for a job really depresses me and makes me pissed off. My car wouldn't start yesterday and a neighbor of mine checked out my car to see what the problem is. He told me what parts I needed to get and my dad took me to the auto parts store today to get the parts. I'm lucky my dad is around because I don't have any money in my savings account to get my car fixed and I'm glad he helped me because I need my car to get to my part time job. If I didn't have a car, I'd be homeless and unemployed. If my car acts up again later, I'm gonna end up homeless and I might move back to Cleveland because the cost of living there is less expensive and I might be able to get a job there. I'm just really sad about my situation because I had a full time job that I lost in June that I didn't wanna leave and I'm mad that I'm not there anymore. I gave that job 9 years and it pisses me off that management decided to hire a contractor to replace me so they can save money.



I'm sick and tired of these foreigners in America getting jobs and making it hard for black men to get jobs. Racist white men wonder why there's so much crime and unemployment in black neighborhoods and their bitch asses wanna say black men are lazy and they don't wanna work which is a lie. Yes I know there's some black men that don't want a job and would rather sell drugs but most poor unemployed black men want jobs and they want jobs that pay good. Bottom line is most jobs that are owned by white men don't want black men working for them because black men scare them. They would rather hire foreigners than black men because they can pay them a low salary and give them no medical and dental insurance. Foreigners aren't gonna complain about it because if they do, they'll get deported back to their countries because they're here illegal and they don't wanna get deported. So they'll just accept the way white men supervisors treat them bad because they don't wanna go back to their shitty countries because they know have better job opportunities in America.

CJ, in all seriousness have you ever in your life gotten to the point of contemplating suicide? I lost my stable job when the company went under due to fucked up mismanagement and haven't been able to get a job since and this city is in one of the 5 or 6 most expensive cities in the world. Not being able to work is really fucking depressing, it really fucks up your whole mind especially when you keep applying and get nowhere and keep applying and all of these agencies just hoarde your information and sell it off. I know it's broken me down to the point I just want to end it all.

It's hard for me to understand how black people have it in the US but I know over here a lot of white people don't get jobs in my city - well, I mean the non-corporate type jobs anyway - because employers prefer to use foreigners as slave labour. They can over work them on minimum wage for hours that are excessive, 6/7 days a week and don't give them many breaks and that because they don't know any better and they accept it because it is better than where they came from. I hate our current government it's all about making rich people richer and removing the working class and essentially having rich and poor.

The Hound, sorry to hear about you being unemployed. How many years have you been unemployed? I've thought about suicide before but i was scared to do it because i can't afford a gun. I would rather shoot myself than swallow pills because i've thought about that too. Yeah i definitely understand what you're talking about when you say foreigners in your country are being used as slave labor at jobs. The same thing is happening to foreigners at jobs in america too. There's also a lot of foreigners that own businesses in poor black neighborhoods here but they won't let blacks work for them. I wish foreigners in america would go back to their countries so black men can get jobs and the jobs overseas that used to be in america need to be shipped back to america. That's the only way unemployment is gonna go away in america. I guess i'll eventually get a full time job. It's just gonna take me longer than i thought to get a job. It just pisses me off when i email jobs my resume and they don't get in touch with me. They could at least let me know something even if they don't wanna hire me.

How do you know the foreigners in the US won't let blacks work for them?

If you go to any poor black neighborhood in america and you see stores and gas stations owned by foreigners, do you see any blacks working for them? I don't see it. I used to be a cigarette merchandiser for Philip Morris cigarette company and i used to go to stores in poor black neighborhoods in Washington DC and put up cigarette signs. I never saw any blacks working for foreigners.

Well some of the small places might mainly have families working there. There are gas stations, small convenience stores, etc and they save money by just having relatives work there. It's not like they are against black people. I don't see white people working at these stores either. If you go into a chinese restaurant, I've never seen any workers other than asian.

Yeah i get your point.

CJ I haven't had a permanent job for about 2 years but I've had casual work but even that now is hard to come by now. I don't know if you have casual type work over there but basically if you're casual you will get generally a higher wage per hour but you get no security or benefits. They can sack you whenever they want and usually you won't get the same amount of shifts per week or hours per shift as a permanent full time does and if there's overtime and stuff you'll be on the bottom of the list. If you miss a day of work because you're sick you won't get paid, or some companies might give you very few sick days.

With the foreigners it's the employers that I have an issue with. It's not right to treat people that way doesn't matter where they're from or what skin colour they are. I'm not against immigrants but it's annoying that most people emigrate to this country settle in my city so it's very competitive. It's more annoying that asian millionaires have bought up a lot of property, especially around my area, and the market is inflated and housing is bullshit expensive. People living below the poverty line is increasing dramatically, that's less than $400 per week lol I get $500 a fortnight from the government who don't do shit to help you it just traps you in the system, and yeah I know $400 a week goes a long way in many countries but in Australia - especially Sydney - rent in itself for something basic with a 1 bedroom can get up to $300 per week so a lot of people are fucked.

Now they want to cut people under 30 years old off from government assistance for 6 months of the year because they think you live the high life on $500 a fortnight LOL I don't know if you've got apprenticeships over there but I try and get one here and people look at my age - 27 - and tell me no way they want people 17 years old because they're much cheaper to employ than I am. Businesses only look for the cheapest option which sucks so I gave up on it, looking for work is a fucked process here you can't just rock up to a place and hand your resume in you gotta go through time wasting hoops and shit so I thought fuck it give up keep all my money and see an escort, eat noodles everyday and hope I get sick and die lol

Maybe I should go to the US and you should come to Australia, might as well take advantage of our countries giving foreigners a leg up

I wasn't insulting anyone.

The Hound, sorry to hear about your situation. That really sucks living like that when you want a job and a better life. Nobody deserves to live like that. I wish i could get welfare money while i look for a job but i doubt i would get it because i probably wouldn't qualify for it since i live with my parents but my parents can't take care of me. My parents were forced into retirement because they lost their jobs and my mom got sick because she has breast cancer. She's feeling better but it's not her fault that she got sick and she shouldn't have lost her job.
