Unambitious, generally lazy, and possess such a negative outlook on life, that they have no trouble beating you down if it meant $5 in their pocket. I lived in that environment for the first 20+ years of my life, and I know it better than most.

In a bind? They should have thought about that before dropping out of high school, breaking into that house, or telling their boss to go %$#& themselves because they didn't want to work late. That's the reality I saw. I don't know where you got yours.
so your mom was a hooker using the food money for crack then? daddy beat yall then left for good? is that how hard you had it drake? who taught you your work ethic?

you may have been poor, but something tells me you had other advantages. maybe a lil love, or something trivial like that.

poverty is a self perpetuating cycle with very few willing participants. nmost trapped by their own ignorance. how do we fix that? by wiping them out? or just letting them suffer till they shape up or die? what?

i wanna know what YOUR solutions are?
