Sorry, but you're dead wrong...again
I have always been an advocate that those who receive welfare should be required to do something, even if it is just local community service.
What burns me are the ones that want to use the 'Welfare Queen' (typically black with multiple children) as an example of why they are so hardhearted when it comes to helping those who need it.
Funny thing is, if you asked those same people if they wished they had been born black, you will get looks of shock.
And they aren't even smart enough to realize that the reason they would never even think of trading places with a black person, are the same reasons there are so many racial issues in this country.
Think about it for a minute.
One of my favorite hypocrisies is when one of them talk about how 'they' (blacks/minorities) are predisposed to particular traits, but become enraged and take great umbrage when you call them a racist.
It's like they are too ignorant to even look at a dictionary and read the actual definition of a racist.

Go look again, I did not post anything about how children were raised.
I'm smarter than that.
All too many want to take credit for children that turn out well, which of course does not explain those who didn't turn out so well...in spite of being raised in the exact same environment.
So what's your thought(s) on the reason for that?

See my post above, as we actually agree on that.
What I don't believe in, is subsidizing corporations (already making billions of dollars in profits) by providing their employees with benefits (from my taxes) they need to survive.
I have yet to understand why so many are reluctant to explain why they have no problem with it.
Even though
I know why they feel that way, they are afraid to voice their racism/bigotry in a public setting.
Racism, in and of itself, while abhorrent in my view...is NOT illegal.
It is only when someone has power or authority over another and exercises that racism/bigotry, is when it becomes illegal.
So why are they so reluctant to just admit what is so obvious?
On Edit: I truly thought this would have been moved to the political forum by this point, so I will refrain from additional posts so as not to break the rules in the regular forum.
