Are we what we choose to be or the result of what happened to us?

Even from the earliest age we can decide what we want to be and ''set out our stall'' to achieve our ambitions.
Of course there will be problems and hurdles but problems were meant to be solved and hurdles can always be overcome.

The street people are living rough because they have spurned their responsibilities to the society which they infest and have opted for a free ride at the expense of the hard working taxpayer.

They, and they alone have made their lifestyle choice.

You're truly a disgusting little worm. If people have to live rough in a world of excess and abundance it can only be because society has spurned its responsibilities to them, not the other way around.

@HolyGrail;- Well, for starters, you're part of society.

What have you done, donated or organized to relieve the self imposed misery these useless shit-bags have brought upon themselves?

That was a rhetorical question as I know from your self-righteous drivel that you have never done anything, are doing nothing and never will do anything.

DIRTBALLS ONLY LIKE TO TRY TO OCCUPY THE MORAL HIGH GROUND AND VIRTUE SIGNAL.

DO YOU VOLUNTEER TO GO AND CLEAN UP THEIR SHIT & PISS FROM OUR STREETS AND WIPE THEIR ARSES EACH TIME THEY HAVE A CRAP?

Everyone has a choice in life, and the drop-outs who contaminate the sidewalks with their defecation and urine have decided that they wish to live as they do.

In America education is there for all to avail of and jobs are still in abundance for those wishing to to be self reliant and contribute to the society in which they live.

Sanctimonious SCUMBAGS SUCH AS YOU encourage these WASTERS to believe that the the world owes them a living.

What a smug, enormous piece of festering shit you are.

What have you ever contributed to society, apart from 17th century racism and a hatred for everybody trodden on by the unfair, unequal, unethical mechanics of right wing ideology, hmmm? That's also rhetorical, because you have contributed nothing. You're a useless parasite who feeds on the teat of privilege while condescending to everybody else who lacks that same safety net. You are no better than ringworm.

I could expose your naivety and stupidity for all that it is but all I'll do is state is that I wasn't the one who presented myself as the champion of the poor & downtrodden so I have nothing to explain to anyone.

Life is a competition and like all competitions there will be winners and losers.

In the competition of life the losers refuse to accept that they are dim, lazy, unambitious and academic underachievers so they cry like babies and blame, society, the system, the wealthy, the high achievers and the unfairness of capitalism.

Such a fucking yarn wee lad.

You dim witted losers are at the bottom of the pecking order and will remain there until you find the wit to recognize that life is a brutal ''dog-eat-dog'' struggle, and the balls to enter the daily cut-and-thrust affray that is life.

Filth such as you who want a free ride can only sit in the quagmire of their self-made squalor and yap about the the big bad guys who work their ass off and risk everything they have as they strive to achieve their lifelong ambitions.

FUCKS LIKE YOU WILL NEVER RISE ABOVE FEELING SORRY FOR YOURSELVES AND WILL DIE IN A STATE OF GRIM RESENTFULNESS.

YOU WILL ATTRIBUTE BLAME FOR YOUR WOEFUL PLIGHT ON EVERYONE AND EVERYTHING EXCEPT TO WHERE IT BELONGS;- ''YOURSELF''.

What an absolute joke. Yeah, if you're wiling to put yourself tens of thousands of dollars into debt you can have an education. What you can't have is a worthwhile job at the end of it.

If you had the sense to effect a self-analysis you would discover that your perceived difficulty in securing gainful employment is almost certainly due to the underlying feature of your psyche' which is that you are a lazy shit who doesn't really want a job.

Those with DRIVE, INITIATIVE AND ENTERPRISE will create a job by setting up and developing a business for themselves in situations where they genuinely cannot find suitable employment.

But hey, keep feeling sorry for yourself and wallowing in the shit of your pathetic self-pity.

Upbringing, parental influence, standard of education, hereditary factors and money availability, or lack of it, is what determines how we shall turn out as adults.
