Do you respect people who don't work for a living, or are not stay-at-home parents?
(Not including those who are incapable of working…didn’t mean to insult anyone)

Work or don't work. As long as you're not freeloading off of someone who's unhappily slaving for the both of you, you're fine by me.

@DearAmbellina2113 How does the “don’t work” person make a living then?

@Bumbles there are people who live like scavengers. They salvage things they find, live in a tent, live on the streets, etc. They're still people. They don't stop existing just because they aren't a part of the work force. A lot of them are mentally ill and untreated. We should be taking care of people like that in this country instead of funding yet another war.

@DearAmbellina2113 I suppose I was limiting my comment to those who seem capable of work. I could have been more specific.

@Bumbles I mean I hate laziness, but just because someone isn't employed doesn't mean they're lazy. If they're growing their own food, living in a house they inherited, and wearing donated hand-me-downs, etc. they are still human beings with worth.
Employment = worthiness is a dangerous way to think.

@DearAmbellina2113 I think the house inheritor/food growing sustenance folks are not a very high number. But yes, I will exempt sustenance farmers (mad respect in fact) and the mentally ill from my list.
