I'm presently from Florida, know hundreds of people, and none of them are lunatics. Come visit some time. I'll take you boating and introduce you around so you can make an informed decision instead of spouting some sort of dogma that you've heard somewhere. Until you actually do that I'd advise a tad more discretion. One of my neighbors is from Seattle and he's quite happy with Florida. JPS is, after all, TRASH@THEDUMP. Is his opinion worth anything to us? |

Everyone in Idaho has a gun and a lot of them are machine guns. Whoa. Those look like drug infested, welfare areas. Maybe a connection? Hard and soft drug use tend to lead the participants toward lives of crime to support the habits, unless they are wealthy movie stars. ;-) |

No opportunity, ****ty public school systems, living wage jobs gone. If you've got to make a living to eat and the only job readily available is running drugs, how many people are going to choose to starve and how many will choose to engage an educational system that has failed them where they have no standing? We've stopped investing in those areas and they've declined, what's the mystery? Attitudes like yours help foster a blossoming drug culture. Bet you come from permissive and apologetic parents. |

We've stopped investing in those areas and they've declined, what's the mystery? Bull****! Those schools may not be top tier, but the information is there. Maybe a 50% plus drop out rate is more of a problem than ****ty schools. I have Cambodian friends. They got two years training when they got off the boat paid for by the government. Then they were expected to get a job. Tina got CNA training and worked in a hospital for a couple years. Opened a restaurant and owns and runs a donut shop now. Sunny her husband, who fishes with me sometimes, was trained as a machinist. Two years. We have 5th generation welfare families. Maybe we give them two years training and then require work? Maybe welfare pays too well. We have welfare families with 60" TV, cable and wearing $150 sneakers. And fat. Only country in the world where the poor are obese. We do not invest in those areas as the locals destroy or steal too much. Why is your business not in the inner city? Why do you live in a gated community, and not in the innercity? I don't live in a gated community, I live in the city and and my business is located in an area that's attractive to current and prospective employees, no matter their color or ethnicity. Your Cambodians were obviously not weighed down by reduced expectations. People come here all the time with the entreprenurial spirit, it's those people the country attracts. What we've grown here is something altogether different. Inner city folks have been taught their chances of success are limited by the color of their skin and their languge. And there's plenty of evidence backing them up. Those that do make it out expend twice the energy of a white person with similar expectations. The field is tilted against them. If you don't admit that, you're deluding yourself. Those that make it out are made of the same gumption that your Cambodian friends are made of. |
