Section8 program cause of rising crime in midsize cities across America

[mawilson 2,133]

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!

Geeks.

LOL myspace and sex go perfect together

Myspace? You're behind the times, Trollie. All the cool kids are on Facebook these days.

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.

Yep. My kids spend hours in our local library, as do a lot of other kids. Some of them are *gasp* poor kids. My kids go because they love books and there are big couches and chairs all over. They can use the internet, but they usually don't.

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

Amber, I think it's just that you come off in your posts sometimes as being a little privileged without any understanding of people who have had to struggle or work for what they have in life. I'm not sure if you intend your posts to sound that way or if you are sometimes misread.

Yeah. Chores are good life lessons.

I always try to remember that the guy in our building who sweeps floors isn't even making $10 an hour. But he's there anyway daily, trying to make an honest buck.

Maybe if my parents had paid me to do my chores I wouldn't have "forgotten" to do them so much!

pedro - agreed about myspace. Myspace is garbage.

Myspace and facebook are great hiding places!

I was just saying I did chores too. I know people work hard.

Don't hate on me because I was lucky to have a wealthy family. Jealousy is overrated.

Remember how your momma didn't pay you for your chores?

That's so you'd learn a little humility.

Some people don't have any.

Humility would be a great place to start!

All it achieved was getting me to think of ways to get out of doing stuff

The imagination and ability to make up a good story has come in real handy over the years. Thanks, Mom!
