    I love helping others. Especially my neighbors and loved ones. I realize I am fortunate. I don’t need a Lecture. I’m directing my comments towards people I can relate to. Obviously, I can’t relate to people that live in forced labor camps. I believe the majority of people commenting here are currently living in a “free” society and have had the same opportunities I’ve had.

    We, as people, make choices everyday. Those choices have consequences. Good or bad. Life is weird. It’s like a stage. We can act all.we want. But really, all we want at the end of the day is clean water, good food and a loving family. If I lived in a tent or a shack, as long as I had that, I would be happy. I’m easy to please I guess

      Agreed that’s all we want… now imagine you’re one of the younger generation, expected to do as much or more work, for less than enough to afford said clean water, good food, and a family (proof, birth rates are extremely low. In my case it’s because there’s no way I could afford a child. I can barely afford the clean water and good food)

      So… what’s the problem then? Why is it a problem that the younger generation refuse to be taken advantage of… Oh sorry,I meant work their assess off to be given a pittance and laid off in 2 months, sorry not sorry, it just isn’t profitable enough.

      You can’t be serious.

      Okay guys, I tried. I’ve hit my limit. I’m done. I’ll leave it to you others if you want to continue. This one believes, even now, that we’re all had the same opportunities he has. Yep, those with different skin colors, same opportunities. Different genitalia, same opportunities. Alternate sexual orientation, same opportunities. Born in different socio-economic conditions, you guessed it, same opportunities. Especially those born after about 1985 that entered the workforce during the worst financial crisis since 1929. All of us should have been equally successful. We just must not have tried hard enough because of “bad work ethic” that exists today. Thats the only explanation why we’re all not successful. /s
