I didn't work minimum wage jobs since I was 16 to help fund my future or anything. I didn't pay for my education while living on my own and working.. Nope, not me, I just used Elph for child labor when he was 8. Got me again, Ori.

I'm not jeering anyone and I have equal, if not harsher, criticisms of myself, because we can almost always do better. I'm not sorry if you're offended by my honesty.

That'd be a cool argument if there wasn't 1000+ years of human progress that coincided with a change in thought.. Human history has never changed by incentivizing the powerful few, it changed from the hard work of the subservient class, but you'd rather bitch than do the work. Like most people, you're stuck in the mindset of wanting a bandaid fix instead of a long term solution.

Recognizing I live in a society with others and acting as a steward for their well being and my own, educating others and promoting skepticism, doing the best I can to make a positive influence on the local environment, voting with my buying power, avoiding complacency.. all these things when done by millions create positive change over time.

I'm all ears if you have a better idea.. Pretty confident none of you do though and would rather just tell me I'm wrong and play the "woe is me" card.

It's going to continue to happen every time one of you bitches about the same thing with different words.

That was a pretty damn good answer until you tossed on that bitchy little second paragraph.

Well then ignore it, but that's the response I get every time I point these things out.
