I said that to you, because you're trying to justify not working.
But, to answer your question...
I wouldn't be a felon in the first place.
It's a stupid question, Miss P.
I would simply say this. If you don't have a job, it's because *you* haven't gotten off your butt to get one. You simply don't want to work. That's the bottom line. So, stop complaining...
If you truly wanted to find a job and work, you could. Anyone can.
