Edited by: Rawr Cristina on 07/10/2007 16:26:49 yes, but getting a decent benefit here in the UK isn't easy. Best most people can get is JSA, which won't even pay the rent, let alone living costs -----

I *used* to have a life, but then my friends and I graduated high school. Now everyone's too busy working or dealing with their families to ever get together (as an example, this is the third weekend in a row my RL plans have fallen through), so the last nine years have utterly sucked. This is one reason why EVE was a godsend - it gave me something to fill up the empty hours.
Adulthood sucks and should be outlawed. -Wrayeth n00b Extraordinaire

You don't get paid by the government, you get paid by US. The people that actually work for a living and contribute so we can enjoy the benefits of having a decent amount of cash. People like you are the reason taxes are so high.
How do you know that he is from the US? America isnt the only country in the world you know
Because if he was in the UK he'd be dying of starvation on the pitiful amount they pay out?

I moved out of my parents house and into an apartment with my girlfriend at 18 (A few months ago). I work full time, go to school full time. And play EVE when I feel like it.
However now, I usually play Halo 3 with my girlfriend online lol :)
My job sucks, but I earn enough to live comfortably and I'm quite happy. I play EVE maybe 5-10 hours a week.

I got plenty of life - which unfortunately limits the amount of time I get to play EVE. I'm on my last nite in SF now, where I had the best ribs EVER at Oola, along with SWEET meals over 4 days at Foreign Cinema, Town Hall, and the Cliff House restaurants.
And my learning 5 will be done a lil after I get back to Seattle tomorrow - w00t!!

I tend to play eve a lot when I don't have much going on, but when "life" picks up, computer games *Usually* take a back seat.
I actually had a girl tell me once "God! Put that stupid game away and come **** me."
But I was in the middle of a battle for LS-JEP, So I dumped her. No more of that distraction
It's okay, she knew I was joking.

Im a bit of a tech head, im a database designer (MS Access/SQL) i also fix, and sell PC's. Ive been playing eve since may 2003, and have enjoyed it,
I find it very annoying to stop playing Eve and get on with some work, the thing which I find very irritating about working in computers is that to achieve most tasks it takes so damn long. When im making a database i think to myself, damn, im missing out on playing eve.
Ive decided to give up computing, and ive taken on a part time retail job. My other plan is to complete The Knowledge, and become a london taxi driver.
It is possible for a london taxi driver to make ú400 GBP per day, The Knowledge is a very daunting task that will take me 3 years to complete, when Its done i can earn alot of money, and be completly independant, and not have a stupid boss or manager to answer to.

btw, in the UK, the money given to unemployed people only accounts for a very small, almost insignificant, percentage of government spending.

Third from the right in the blue shirt. We would have taken rookie of the year except Berlin Raceway decided that Allan having worked seven years as a mechanic couldn't be a rookie his first year as a driver. (say what?!) We still finished sixth in points, three points out of fifth

Job Seeker's Allowance in the UK is simply the cash they pay you to survive whilst you "look for a job." Rent and council tax are paid for you by the government on top of your JSA. On top of that, if you have children, you can actually end up better off in this county than you would be if you got a minimum wage job in a warehouse. How stupid is that?

Me, I have a life. Today, I will have spent more time dangling from a rope in the climbing court than playing EVE. ---------- I made a bet for 100M and a faction fitted Raven that I wouldn't get any dev/admin change to my signature even when I specifically ask not to. So please, think of my poor wallet! |

After one month there, I can guarantee you will never want to kill another player in-game anymore. Try it. :)

Are you trying to **** people off on purpose?
You really must have no self respect to abuse the benefit system in such a way. Do you not wake up in the morning and think I am a scumbag?
Either way the more you get used to it the more it is going to be a harsh return to reality when the law gets changed. and it ptobably will sooner or later.
Why should people go to work for you so you can sit on your fat lazy ass all day and what about those people who really do need the benefits?
I shall stop now as I have a feeling you are trying to wind people up on purpose.
I have a pretty cool job at an ISP. Play Eve in the evenings and at weekends. My friends hastle me t go out, I sometimes give in and go but I am perfectly happy playing eve.

JSA is fair enough if you are looking for a job. That is what it is for, this ring piece is abusing the system as he has no interest in gaining employmet.
By the way Fraud of any sort is a serious crime. Probably not a good idea to post it on a public forum.

Dont be silly now, they already mug/stab/break into houses whenever the feck they want so they would do that with or without benefits, but lets be honest their to lazy to go looting and roiting, besides the police will have a shoot-to-kill policy when they do, their more usefull to us dead than alive tbh.
