I'm not mac.. but no, that crackhead couldn't be me. Crack is whack. I've never touched an illegal drug in my life. Never will. Chances of me ending up a crackhead = 0%.

Who are you to judge without first taking that long look in a mirror?

Again, not Mac, but if I look in the mirror and see someone who is working his ass off to be successful, I guess that gives me the right to judge those who refuse to put forth the same sort of effort.

Katrina victims...well hmmm...suddenly displaced?

Kinda hard getting a job when your address IS A FLOODED OUT HOLE IN THE GROUND hmmm?

Not really. Construction crews are hiring all the time. They're so desperate taht they'll hire illegal immigrants to do work at the risk of criminal penalty.

Of course, most Katrina "victims" were pretty screwed up before the storm hit due to their own stupid choices prior to the storm.

Hell..the Superdome that was for a month a 3rd world country has been fixed up in less than a years time and the lower wards in New Orleans are STILL after 2 years ghost towns...you want those homeless people out of your area in Texas....here is challenge for you...whatever purpose you serve in your area...get up and take a trip over there with those homeless and help rebuild their communities.

So what you're saying is that they're too lazy to do for themselves, so we ought to get off our collective asses and provide for them? No.. sorry.. busy providing for myself. Thanks.

When did we stop holding people acountable....?

Go back to 1939 when the welfare system in this country officially kicked off...since that is what we are discussing in this thread before we digressed to homelessness.

Your point?

But you know what...we are gonna call it a day on this thread....we have offically agreed to disagree, but just in case you happen to wind up in a living condition much less than what you are used to and forced to get food stamps but you don't wanna be a burden on our government?

Many of use, due to the fact that we've saved a lot of money, were able to pursue a decent education, etc. aren't going to end up in that sort of situation. If you make good choices in life, that sort of situation simply does not happen.
