Honestly, I have no sympathy for either of them.

And second, it is a dead-end job. Those who don’t know this… wait, is it at all possible that there are people who don’t know this?

You might have a point. But as Walter Williams points out frequently, the best way to avoid poverty is to take a job–any job–and make some wages. Maybe you don’t advance past assistant shift manager, but when you have a proven record of showing up every day and a good reference or two, you can apply for a different (better, opportunity for advancement) job in time–and you have a better chance of actually getting hired for it than the kid who preferred no job to the “dead-end” burger-flipping gig.

And even if you don’t, there’s still no shame in being an honest working fry cook, rather than gang-banging, drug dealing, sponging off your folks or off my tax dollars, etc. I refuse to dog on anyone in a low-status service job (unless they’re suburban high school kids spending more time chatting with their friends than actually serving customers, of course).

I’m hardly waving the flag for the guy, but by comparison…

And yes, considering what I’m comparing him to, the bar is hardly at an Olympic level.

Respect where respect is due, from what I’ve seen “K-Fed” has handled himself far better than Britney has since the divorce. And yet, he’s the one who still cops it from everyone..

You’re not setting the bar too high there.

Yes, indeed, the restaurant association is protesting the commercial for portraying burger-flipping as a dead-end job and demeaning the millions of American who ask you if you’d like to supersize and/or biggie-size.

I couldn’t believe that part when I read it either.

First, have burger-flippers ever been portrayed as being in anything other than a dead-end job the millions of times they’ve been portrayed on film?

And second, it is a dead-end job. Those who don’t know this… wait, is it at all possible that there are people who don’t know this?

This young man is still the father of two young children, and is no longer married to his mother.

And this was still the case when he married Britney. He already had kids with another woman, who he left to tour with Britney in the first place.

I don’t wish bad things to happen to him, but this isn’t the case of a tragedy. This is the case of a man who got extremely lucky for a very short period of time and has now come crashing down where I do hope he lands softly.

I think the video is hilarious. Mostly, because it’s true.

This young man is still the father of two young children, and is no longer married to his mother.

It’s fairly obvious that unless he uses his current wealth to better himself, he most likely will not have a future in show business.

What else will he have to turn on?

Have we become so synical to have the knee jerk reaction, “Yeah, you looser…..”

What happens in ten or twenty years when, after the mother of his children has put them through the roller coaster of life in the spot light {beaver shot}, and they need their Dad……. where do you think he will be?

Hopefully, in a good place.

I won’t buy any of his music, but I do wish him, and all his family well…….. Wouldn’t you wish the same upon you?

Just a joke!!!!

Now every time I see or hear “news” about either him or Spears, that is the first thing that goes thru my mind.

I would guess that he is just one of many.
Did they create a “spore”?

I’m glad you’re not in charge of hiring.

Seriously. He reminds of a t-shirt I recently saw. “Of the millions of sperm racing that day, I can’t believe you were the winner.”

Though no one ever says a fry cook spends his life getting into tense situations.
