[QUOTE="LWW, post: 175639, member: 546831"] What a pantload of Bravo Sierra. [B]FACT:[/B] Every person in America had a desk in a school room, plus books, and a licensed schoolteacher provided for them. The fact that they CHOSE not to attend or to pay attention and hence learn is their fault. [B]FACT:[/B] Most American's start out in entry level low paying low skill jobs. The overwhelming majority work hard and improve their value in the job market and hence work up the ladder. A few either will not work or want the good life before they have earned it and turn to crime. Again this is no fault of society. [B]FACT:[/B] Drugs and alcohol do not force themselves upon us. Those of us who use them made a choice to do so. Those who use them to excess and abuse them made a decision to toss their life on the scrap heap for a very short high. Again society is not to blame. [B]FACT:[/B] There are so many loose women about that anyone who needs to commit **** is either a psychopath or has taken on a demeanor that makes them completely undesirable to even a skank street ho. [B]FACT:[/B] Every ex convict has a legal right to apply for expungement of their record. They have a right to go back to school at taxpayer expense. They even have a right to apply for a pardon once they have fixed themselves. If they take no initiative upon themselves then they take responsibility for their failure. [B]FACT:[/B] This is still the greatest and most forgiving nation on Earth. I get so sick of people bashing it because they are to lazy to get off their arses and fix themselves. [B]FACT:[/B] I do know what I'm talking about. I was raised in Appalachia and had a marijuana conviction at age 18. I decided to lay blame where it belonged...ME. I had also quit high school. Well I went back and received my GED. Attended college. Did 6 years in the US Army reserves. Started work at an entry level position and worked my way to the point that I now have a career which consistently earns me in the high 5 and low 6 figure income bracket. I can tell you it isn't easy...but it isn't impossible. Of the 4 guys I hung with in high school 3 have been in prison, 1 of them still is. Another has evaded jail but has bounced from job to job and in and out of rehab. If I could fix any or all of them myself I would for we are all brothers. Sadly I can't. We can only fix ourselves.
