I watched an excerpt from 60 minutes last night and a guy was delivering food and clothes/blankets/etc to homeless people somewhere. Ohio? I don't know. There was a young pregnant woman living in a tent (until someone cut it up)... Anyway, what I noticed on the show and nearly any lower income neighbourhood that I've driven through....there was trash everywhere! I've never understood that. There is no pride in ownership. Or, pride in one's home. It drives me nuts. So, someone drives past your house and lobs a beer bottle at you while you're mowing the grass (true story)...pick it up and recycle it. Actually, it shattered so...but pick it up. Leaving it there serves no purpose! They do it again...pick it up again. Don't just live in a pile of shit. The media loves to show pictures of destitute people living in squalor. I understand the propaganda but I don't understand the people. Why live in filth? Disadvantaged is one thing. Being lazy is another.

I just take it they don’t give a shit about themselves anymore due to not having anything going on their lives. Can’t have pride in things externally when you’re lacking self respect and a sense of self worth internally
