"At what point are people held responsible for their choices?"
As a GWB compassionate conservative, I think that the reality of the situation is that many of these folks have probably never had a choice in their lives. Sure there are the evil ones, and they deserve the worst, but, my God, we can't imagine the desperation of these people - how dare we judge?

Good one. The man just holds them down and they are victims for life.

I can NOT believe that you posted this! Totally ridiculous. You make choices everyday of your life, I don't care how rich or poor you are. I think you are posting on the wrong site. Should be at DU.
