America Sucks Options

[*Steven*]

Should people who think America sucks so bad stay in America? I personally think that if you hate the country so much, and all you do is bitch and moan about it, then you should pack yo bags :)

That or try to do something about it.

HIV/AIDS can be avoided by sanitation/not having sex with everyone.
If they were born into poverty conditions, I don't have much to say on their behalf.
My main gripe is the people who are at the minimum scraping by, and they choose to drop out of high school because they don't think that they have a future in the working world. People who don't try to make something of themselves quite frankly don't have the right to complain about not having money.
Welfare is very much existent. It's very abused as well. I could probably find some charts and statistics on welfare if you'd like.

They don't have to work for 5.50$ / hr. There are a lot of companies who will give you a shot to ear more money (even if it's not a good amount of money) if you prove to be willing to learn, have a good attitude, look smart, and show enthusiasm. A lot of businesses will put you through the training for the job as that's the easy part. The hard part is finding the employee that can and will do the job well. There's also the military. The military is my failsafe. The military houses you, feeds you, trains you, pays you, and gives you something huge to put on your resume. They'll give you a lifetime career. Sure you might get shot at and stuff, but how's that worse than living in nasty areas of town, living under bridges and off street corners?

1. yes, HIV/AIDS can be prevented by not fostering in promiscuity, however it can also be prevented by using condoms...which aren't provided for free because there aren't many free clinics anymore...reagan cut that

2. poverty can be reversed with proper education, unfortunately many whites fled the city forcing african americans into these areas...businessmen/women left because they didn't want to serve african american communities. as a result these african american communities became what we know as, impoverished areas. unfortunately, many of these impoverished areas do not offer adequate schooling (i.e., schools in washington, d.c. and baltimore, maryland)

3. on the welfare, could you please find some statistics for me, because it is very hard for women to get welfare, well, minority women that is. these women have to have a certain number of children before they can receive a decent amount of state aid. WIC doesn't cover the cost of several items, for example, it covers milk, chicken, bread, but not fruits and vegetables or toilet tissue. so, i'm supposed to drink the milk, but what do wipe myself with when i have to urinate? i'm supposed to eat the ground beef, but what am i supposed to wipe myself with when i have to shit? moreover, oftentimes you have to find a job in a certain number of weeks, but what if they aren't hiring in your neighborhood? what if you cannot get transportation to where they're hiring? what if you cannot afford to take the bus or the bus doesn't go to where jobs are located?

3. nobody is willing to give anyone without proper education and credentials a job paying more than minimum wage, no matter how hard they work. that's the importance of getting an education. if i could get a decent paying job without a college education, do you honestly think i'd be saving money for my college tuition this semester? this is america, remember?

4. going to the military isn't an option for everyone. you have to pass tests, physical and educational, to make it into the military. the military doesn't except every tom, dick and harry's application. and the military is scary for many individuals, sometimes it's better to suffer where you are than to go somewhere else and suffer, because at least you know what the suffering is like at home. you understand?
