I don't think it's wrong to apply for unemployment as long as you actually try to go out and get another job.

Agreed! Far too many people are living off unemployment simply because they enjoy not having a job and don't have high expectations or care about improving their lively hood. Then when their employment is on the verge of running out they'll attempt to find another job. That's really my only problem with people getting unemployment is they need to be actively attempting to work. I feel for those without jobs and unemployment is there for the people who work hard but met unfortunate events and lost their jobs and need a way to survive while they try to find something new. Unemployment is not for people who don't want to work and think it's an easy way to get a very long paid vacation...sadly, it's far too easy for those people to get it too.

It depends on how badly you need it. If you are alone and living a lone wolf lifestyle maybe you don't need it. But if you have one or more children then you should provide for them even if it means getting government assistance.

Why would it be wrong to apply for unemployment. As unemployment is there to supplement after you have been worthy paying taxes the full calender year. It is only a good thing if you qualify for it as they have strict rules of which they impose. So if you are eligible for it, I hope you will get it as that is one of the reasons you paid the taxes.

and same thing ive thought aswell, but i keep hearing people say that people that collect unemployment are stupid and are lazy people and that their getting free money. I was just woundering if i could get some one that had that kind of oppinion to reply to my post so i could kinda more understand why that kind of help would be a bother!
