Drug Testing for welfare recipients

Your problem is you want to address the symptom and ignore the cause. I guess it is easier to ingore the cause when the people in the neighborhood are the cause.

I've only ever heard of mountain/trailer park people who are 21 with 5th grade educations. Hell ghetto people keep going to school at least until 8th/9th grade because:
1. its mandatory
2. Free food
3. Free baby sitter
4. Friends
5. Captive audience to sell drugs to (if they're in to that)

So, if we're going to talk stereotypes lets at least use somewhat realisitic ones.

Your problem is that you do not realize that it is you who does not recognize the cause of the problem. A person cannot cause their own problems. It is quite impossible. An infant does not create the enviornment that they are born in to. A child does not raise itself. If parents do not raise a child properly then it is not that childs fault it is on the parents. So, what you'll find is a long line of un or undereducated people who have not had opportunities. And it cant be blamed solely on them because at some point (a point not too long ago) they'd have been killed for trying to get an education and for thinking about any opportunities. And even those people who didnt have opportunities were able to survive without welfare and government assistance (not that they could've gotten it anyway). These people performed domestic and hard labor. The problem is that these days those jobs do not exist and the few that do pay so little that it is basically impossible for someone to survive on it. And the government today is willing to give money to people but it is still not willing to give opportunity. The government shouldn't stop giving money it should start giving opportunity.






Why do I feel like Huey in the Garden Party episode of Boondocks?

NOT SO LOUD !!!


You are gonna be called out for blaming


DA DA DAAA DUUMMMMM


Da man....heh!

And altho the article addressed Blacks in the inner city, I wonder how long it's going to take for him to get it into his thick skull that welfare is not just a stereotypical Black problem.

I guess the stats from the census website wasn't convincing.

Does that mean a person is not responsible for their own success also?

So you admit that it is the parent's fault?
