roach boy, your post had me cracking up. Can't believe I missed that when I first read it.

"My rant was directed at people who don't work at all or worse, folk who actually do work just a little bit, get bored, screw up at work, then complain." - And I quote in response, "TFpers, I beleive I have a universal answer to all your ailments."

"I will even go further and say you will also notice that most, yeah, most of the folk put themselves in situations that they wind up in. Not all of them. I did oversimplify the stuff that relationships are made of. But I fail to get why someone would wind up in a position so compromising you have to literally start over." - Don't understand what your getting at here and still, it is simply not that simple. Every situation is different. Plenty of people have to start over at different points in their lives.

"Hard workers" have a reason to complain, I'm just afraid for the overly dependents.... I wasnt being naive man .... when I write about my failed time, I will not be kicking myself for all the shit I would have done but didnt do."

Why is it that since you don't go through something do you assume that others don't go through it? You've learned to live without regrets, that's a great accomplishment. However, most normal people do have regrets and some people's regrets overwhelm and depress them. Sure, this is a bad thing but "get a job" is not the solution.

"EDIT: Sure, exercise helps, but you have to factor in time. Time to recover from hard times from fixing your mistakes and making money to get out of debt."

Don't understand your point. Exercise takes 20 minutes a day. Depressed people's brain chemicals are distinctly different from normal's people. You will see a difference if you put the brain under scan of a depressed person and a normal person. Exercise, proper sleep, routine (yes, a job or volunteer gig) and social support may do the trick, or a person may need medication. Mental stress is not always emotional, sometimes it is a chemical disorder.

"And I have been tested. I withdrew from society, I was bitter and turning 40 at 18. Till it hit me, It worked just the way friction is meant to work. I grew up." - How is this being tested? So you were bitter and withdrawn from society. While certainly tough, I mean, it's not uncommon to go through at different points in life. While I do not intend to belittle you and your struggles, that does not equate with any of the things I listed in my original post.

Just out of curiosity, Do you believe that you being antisocial is entirely your own fault and has no exterior environmental or chemical sources? And if it is entirely your fault, then what the hell is wrong with you? (My point being, you being how you are has many factors.)

I work with emotionally disturbed children. It's just laughable that you have these opinions, I'd love for you to spend time volunteering in a psychiatric ward or special needs school and see if you still think the way you do afterwords.
