Look I lived in central America (Guatemala) and the people down there live in extremely dire circumstances, they have had dictator after dictator, the unemployment rate is much higher, as is crime, hunger, poverty etc etc. They eat black beans and rice everyday, have no cable tv, a family is doing good to have 1 car, FORGET social services, welfare, and unemployment. But you know what.....I saw firsthand how they made the best out of their situation without, violent protests, getting out in the streets chunking rocks, and throwing a general temper tantrum. They are studious, clever,willing to work hard,and now after everything they have been through are battlehardened and tough skinned, but yet seem to be relatively happy.
I just think many here (especially the young) among us are wimpy,thin skinned, whining complaing sniveling brats who think life should be easy breezy, where we can walk around in shorts and flip flops all day with bed head and a cafe mocha from Starbucks, and when we can no longer afford those 5$ coffees we need to pout and throw a fit about it, because after all bob across the street can still have them so should I.
Life is tough and unfair so get over it! PREPARE for the worst, HOPE for the best. As far as this argument about there being NO jobs, that's a bunch of crap, you mean there are no jobs they really want, I garuntee you if I was to be unemployed, id have a job within a few months (might not be the job I want) but a job nonetheless. I would network friends and family and come up with something. How do I know I could do it?....cuz I've done it before MANY times. I have a good reputation for being a hard dependable worker, a reputation I take serious. Many today just simply don't know what that means, neither do they understand what good work ethic is, or being 15 min early everyday, or never calling in sick, (I have perfect attendance 5 yrs straight now.)
Bottom line: many people have just simply lost the most valuable knowledge on earth, biblical knowledge.
And if I offend you with my opinion, let me apologize up front, that's not my intention, rather to create a strong counter argument to what I see as a flimsy society.
