[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]First, a generalization would have been to characterize "all" - perhaps you are not familiar with the difference between "all" and "some"?

Second, the nearly 20% unemployment rate in Ward 8 is  absolutely dismal and is many times higher than the unemployment rates in several other wards.

Third, don't you agree that it's a problem when people don't have the crucial life skills for getting or keeping jobs?  That's what keeps people poor.  Wouldn't you agree that this needs to be fixed if the issue of multigenerational poverty is ever to be addressed?[/quote]

I did not take issue with the problem of people lacking life skills, education, or job training.  Since neither the Republican nor the Democratic party is against education and training, I saw no reason to debate it.

But the fact remains that when 80% of a community is doing a thing, you can't say the culture is against that thing.  It is just an absurd notion that 83% of Ward 8 goes to work and yet work is not part of the culture.[/quote]
