Why is it people assume that being born here is an automatic guarantee to life on easy street?
As I have responded to " priviledged ,white bread upringing" remarks in the past, just because CNN says ALL Americans have it easy, don't generalize us as to think that some of us came from dirt poor families, with outhouses and woodstoves, with shoot straight or eat beans again dinner, with conditions that aren't much better than what people have in Mexico.
My own upbringing wasn't the "Leave it to Beaver" show, but after 15 years, nails in my knee, my left eye busted like a grape, a staple shot clean through my finger, probably 10,000 splinters dug out of my hands, I now have worked my way into a sweet job.
I left an abusive situation at 15, and have been on my own since. I have lived on the streets and I've gone hungry.
So don't tell me about easy, friend.
"It is so easy to have others do what you yourself are not able or willing to do."
You mean like get a job, get car insurance, pay taxes, obey the law, not collect welfare, learn English, is that what you mean?
"For example. All you people on FR do is bitch and moan about how terrible America is becoming. Yet that is all you do. Why don't you do something about this country? Right. Beacause it is easier to make excuses and demand others do it for you.
Let me inform you of something, there are many veterans, including ME, here in this forum, who didn't make excuses and served their country, and didn't ask others to do JACK SQUAT for them, as many feel compelled to do now by living off the sweat of others.
The only pantywaisted person doing anything resembling whining, is you.
