By what example did they learn (like you had the example to learn from) better than their actions reflect? We learn by example. Who taught these kids the right way to live and manage money and take care of themselves? Should is nice, but you have to work with the world the way it is, not the way it should be, and by giving up on these people you still haven't solved your panhandling problem, and by the way, have you ever noticed how many of them are vets?
MJZiggy,
There really isn't point in discussing this. Partial is a college student who lives at home. He has a safety net, yet doesn't even realize it.
Even after he leaves home he still will have that net, and as i'm willing to bet his folks would let him live at their house if things got rough.
He knows nothing of being completely self sufficient. He knows nothing about being poor...he thinks because he has no money or very little in college that he is poor.
The fact that he considers a family to have been the most succesfull because they produced middle class earners..(java, pharm, etc..none are even in the same stratosphere as doctors, attorneys, directors at companies, etc.) should tell you all you need to know about him.
That, and that he started college at platteville. He obviously didn't apply himself in high school or just isn't bright enough to have gone to a good school...hurts, partial, doesn't it when someone judges you and finds you lacking.
