It's the tobacco industries fault because people get cancer eventho they could've chose not to smoke. It's alcohol's fault people get into crashes eventho they could've chose not to drink and drive. It's a gun's fault people are killed eventho the shooter could've learned some responsibility. This is just for things people can control tho.
It's a person's fault in america if they went poor because they thought credit cards were free money while it's not a person's fault if they were born poor in a third world country. It's unacceptable with the amount of money being made in the "civilized" countries that third world countries still exist today and even that there's people born in poverty in this country. Wealthy people just wanna keep getting wealthy and not try to better their fellow man. That doesn't mean you need to give them a hand out but if you own a business that has a massive profit, spend alittle extra and take care of your employees because without them, you'd have no wealth. Maybe open up another factory that offers equally good working conditions. Why does it have to be so complicated? It really isn't. You can say "Not everybody can have it all because things cost money" but you can have all the money in the world and it's not gonna do anything for you. You need people to clean, work, feed, and fix everything you'll come across in your life. Worry about them first and the checkbook later.
The divorce rate is like 50% over here (probably higher now). Nobody knows how to care about somebody else anymore I guess. Everyone wants to emphasize what they don't have. I'm one of those people too. It's probably predominantly my fault I turned out this way but I accept that and claim responsibility for it. I don't have respect for authority. You could blame that on the media or a questionable father figure but once you turn 18, you're responsible for what you believe and what actions you take.
LOL, I actually like Newfies, can't understand a word they say most of the times, but they're like Canada's retarded step-children.Quote:
