[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]600,000 people live in DC but just become some random crybaby on a message board whines about how they wanna go back home to Ohio, that's supposed to be some kind of meaningful, cross cutting trend or something?  LOL!

And again, if folks are supposedly getting all this wonderful family support and all these wonderful extra helping hands and time from all these grandmas and aunts and cousins to help with the kids, then why do we constantly get told about how hard the home life of the poor is, how the kids can't get any support to help with school work, how there's no mentoring, no parenting, nobody has any time for the kids, nobody can take kids to the library or the museum, and how impossible it is to raise kids and work at the same time?

Again, if the family isn't helping, then what the fuck good is it all?

Or, if they are helping, then why do we constantly keep getting barraged with the constant whining and excuses?

It's either one or the other, and it's tiresome.

I guess the difference between you and me is that I don't have much as much patience for bullshit and I'm better at calling bullshit out when I hear it.  You on the other hand sound more like the bleeding heart who just buys into these things without thinking - which is why things like multigenerational poverty just keep getting propagated on and on, rather than trying to break the cycle as it should be.[/quote]

Not a bleeding heart, I just don't purport to have solutions for situations I haven't experienced.  I hope one day you aren't in that situation.  I'm sure your life looks just as pitiful to someone else out there.  [/quote]
