Government hasn't made a profit since 2001

But we're worried about people sleeping in tents

When I ask people if they want an ideal society with no crime and where everyone is doing well, why aren't people falling over themselves to say yes

Wow

The problem isn't even the government at this point when you look at it like that

Migrants my ass.
Individualism.

Unless someone is donating enough of their money and or time to effect their day to day life style your only worried about yourself possibly it seems. Because your putting yourself ahead of others.

If you only want to see yourself do well, don't complain when others aren't
This is how the game works

Imagine you leaving on foot and going to South America to start a new life
Lol

Well obviously. Any most grown up knows that. I am responsible for my life and no one else. Anything that’s wrong in my life is my fault and no one else’s. I expect nothing from anyone. Happiness in my life relies on me and me only.
Not sure what other way out there and I don’t care for it anyhow.

I agree. From the time I was a small child, my parents instilled in me a "work ethic", telling me that in order to make it, in life, I'd have to be able to be self supporting.

The sooner kids know this the sooner they will know how to fix it.
If anything around you in life sucks, it is only your fault for not improving the situation. Move, learn, adapt, make more money, work out and thing will get better. If not do it all over again but twice harder or more.

Or be a bum and complain and ask for government help.

I didn't write the article nor claimed that I did

In this instance, "your" is possessive because you brought the article to the forum to share with others. It's yours solely because of the reference, not because you wrote it. You brought it here, so it's yours in that sense. That's all I meant. Hopefully that clears things up. No malice intended.

I knew you didn't mean it maliciously.
