I didn't go through the site. Just found it through a search and the 'logic' seemed oddly compelling.

Churn == money.

You scared me there for a minute.........

I used to spend a lot of time alone at the library as a kid if I had no school and mom had to work. I read lots of books.

The problem now is that all the kids do at the library is go on the internet to play games and chat online. I can't stand spending time at my local library because of that. I go in and get the books I want as fast as I can and then leave. Fortunately there's another library not too far away where the kids have their own floor and the rest of the library is peaceful.

ugh....I loathe section 8 housing. all those trashy kids running around with no one telling them no.........

Sounds like a lot of the spoiled brats from the Escalade end of our town. But hey, none of those Mommas have a daily little helper that helps them crash and burn while the kiddies are out on play dates now, do they?

Maybe it isn't the poverty as much as the parenting.

Well, I used to come home from school (when I was about 13) and start dinner when Mom was at work.

Dang that blue collar background.

When I go to the library, it's usually adults I see on the PC's there.

They're just horrible. They need to walk uphill 3 miles to school in the pouring rain with last years shoes on.

I guess it depends where you live. In my neighborhood there are TONS of kids and I think most of them don't have computers/internet at home. When I go to the library in my parents' town (well-off suburb) the only people on the computers are adults.

The public library where I live is mostly seniors (senior housing is a hop and skip away) and young immigrant mothers with their children (dropped off by their husbands because the library is air conditioned).

I don't see too many older kids, but I am told the other public library (our town has 2) is "where it's at". I've even heard stories of middle schoolers having sex in the computer room in that one!

Eh. We had fun. It wasn't all 'uphill in the pouring rain 3 miles to school', ya know.

All I'm saying is it's pretty easy to look down on the peeps in the Section 8 housing when you've got it 'better' than they do.

Or at least when it looks on the outside like you've got it better.

I did chores when I was little. I did stuff like sweep the floor for $10.

Yeah but just because your family is poor does not mean you have to act like trash though. Parents should be teaching their kids manners whether or not they have money or not.

[pedroh 21]

i agree there..

poor and ignorance doesn't have to go together.. but then if the kids don't have the parents as examples because one of them is a crackhead and the other an alkie, where are they gonna get the good examples from?
