I know that many people don't have families that understand mental health and/or cannot provide that kind of support, so i do think that the government should provide for people like that.

Regardless of your own psychiatric position: you clearly have no will or want to work as you stated in your first post - which proves my point: there are people out there such as yourself (regardless of mental capacity) who simply are happy to live off others - even if it is a family member.

Personally, I have more respect for myself (as well as others I may add) rather than expect and want them to fund my and my life..

no, I would love to work and have a CAREER and provide for myself.

Taking any old JOB that you can get, i don't think anyone wants that. Obviously everyone wants and needs money though. I was pointing out that just because you CAN get a job doesn't mean that you WANT to get a job, and just because you HAVE a JOB, doesn't mean that it's always worth it, especially since a lot of these JOBS you are talking about don't even pay a living wage or provide any kind of decent lifestyle that makes it worth the miserable work.

A lot of the JOBS you are talking about them being able to get are just JOBS, and offer no CAREER potential at all. so they are a waste of time. People don't want a JOB, they want a CAREER.
