Do you have a job or a career?

yes, I also noticed the conspicuous absence of popular options such as "I am independently wealthy" or "I am the King of Spain" or "My junta and I take what we need by force.  We are not leaches.  We are men."

Since dead0man is presumably a republican I guess that would be covered under "I'm a loser, living off of some other person's work...I should probably thank them more".

Not a Pubby.

Small r republican (as opposed to royalist/monarchist).

By the way, just because you don't make money doesn't mean yoy aren't contributing to society or are a loser. Don't you know anyone disabled? Anyway you were probably being sarcastic, I hope.

Of course if you have a good excuse to live off of somebody else then you're alright (you should still probably thank the person helping you more often).  Not being sarcastic though. If you're a healthy 25yo with no good excuses and still living off of another person's work (whether that be mommy and daddy, a rich aunt or Uncle Sam), you're a loser.  A leach.  A drain.

Would you consider grad school or working on a PhD as good excuses?
