it's pretty sad when a child's parent dies...?

Whats really sad is when a parent dies and there will be no social security for the child, at all. The parent made choices in life that lead him to the inability to get a real job therefore never paid out for social security. So his 5 year old son will get nothing. Brandon (my nephew) was 27 and died last March going 100 mph on a crotch rocket. Now that's sad. BTW.........did you know when you die and you have a homemade tattoo on your body, your organs can not be donated? Brandon was an organ donor on his drivers license and the funeral home told us it can't happen. Lesson to all, make good decisions in your life when you have children, don't act careless on the road and don't get homemade tattoos. RIP Brandon. :(

Excuse me? This is an extremely rude assumption. I'm sure some 18 year olds take it for granted that social services can benefit them. I don't have any parents and I have never depended on social services for basically anything. Plus, what do you have against people that have no parents using social services, they have had it hard and sometimes they can be depressed so it might be hard for them to find a job and what not. My brothers and sister all have used social security for when they need it, not because they were too lazy to get a job and get it themselves, they all have jobs and pay for everything themselves in a stable living environment with stable income. And what the.....what do you mean "retires"

Edit: YES you see you you were completely oblivious to the fact that you were talking about EVERYONE that has EVER lost their parents, not JUST your niece. Don't do it again, because as someone else said, you're just being a b*tch!

I think you are angry because you can't get a share of what social security has to offer.

I'm sure that some 18 year old is out buying foolish things with the money that they have. . . but who are you to judge what they do with it? I'm sure you've spent money you didn't honestly earn on foolish things at one point in your life. . . right?

Oh, and by the way, don't you know that social security doesn't pay that much anyway? If you can pay your bills with $1000 a month, then more power to you, but I know that won't put a dent in my bills.

Stop complaining, grow up and move on.

I feel its lovely disgusting how our entire international is now. I imply seem round everybody is so elegant on their telephone instruments PDAs and phone telephones wi-fi web right here and there 5 buck lattes and fancy autos that guzzle extra gasoline than ever earlier than and making that deal on that industry present that it appears we put out of your mind whats rather primary and that's our youngsters. No topic what our youngsters undergo whether or not it's from divorce, crime, or our busy worlds they continually undergo. I am a unmarried mother with 2 youngsters and there may be not anything on this international that would rationale me to lose monitor of shedding them off and going to paintings. I feel it's disgusting and terrible anymore the stuff that occurs to our youngsters. It makes me now not desire to observe the scoop...

If your parent died, maybe a car would make you feel better. Stop being such a b*tch.
