[QUOTE="dillweed, post: 838777, member: 5938"] It's a shame we have generation after generation of people who don't know how to earn a living. I saw my parents work and they taught me that if I want something I have to work for it. "No free lunches" was said many times. How the heck is a kid supposed to learn any kind of responsibility when they don't see it from their parents? Or grandparents? They are raised in chaos and are, unfortunately, comfortable with that. A system for helping the down-and-out is great, we might all need it someday. However, like others have said, the free handout system isn't working. Education and responsibility are key but it will take generations of practice for it to become lifestyle. I sure get disgusted when I see cartloads of seafood and good cuts of meat in the store. Mine has chicken, burger and generic products. We eat well because, as tooner said, I cook instead of chowing on convenience foods all the time. Damned shame the sense of pride most of us take in ourselves has been taken from people by handing them those free lunches. Not defending the lazies, just trying to understand both sides of a situation. And still feel we should be able to smoke a joint after a hard days work, in our own homes, in front of the tube. Then munch out on some cheap baked chicken and potatoes! [/QUOTE]
