but i guess you cant grasp the concept of a person who isnt greedy and works for the whole instead of themselves. cant really argue any further then that then.
rapping aint gunna change the world, but it may give me an oppertunity to do what i can. from your last post though i realise you have no idea of what its like to be born into a family that has little to nothing and was at one point and time homeless. you also have no idea how unless you get a full scholarship your not going to get a higher education then highschool. money makes this world go round. if your born in it, then your going to be alright, if not, well then you end up like alot of people i know do.
job places dont give you a test to find out if your smart or not, you give in an application. they see high school diploma and thats it. reguardless of how smart you are they assume that your not as smart or as hard working as the people who went to college.

sure its so easy to say they are lazy, but did you ever live it? and i dont mean have some financial problems here and there, i mean living check by check to the point you have to decide if you want to give up your phone or food for a couple nights because you cant fully play for the bills or get kicked out the appartment you lived in out on the street?
i never once said you were the problem, i said what your doing probably isnt enough, thats all. i didnt say you were wrong to help, im glad you help, i just dont believe its enough. providing for kids is obviously ruff. my point is that why should we make kids when there are so many kids out there that arent being raised. the parents are more concerned with their drug habit then feeding their children. how can we make a family knowing this? thats what i dont understand.
create sports leagues for these areas, but only allows kids that get a (either C or B average or higher) are allowed to play. thats what i idolized about him, his will to change things one step at a time.
it will just continue like that til its totally destroyed and theres nothing left. we gotta do something. and im tryin to take ground in every way possible.
yes but theres a catch though, the system works because alot of people arent aware of such options. if all these people were aware of it and wen tand did it, it would probably start to fall apart from an overload of people. people get screwed out of there things, some get rich, others dont. what i try to do is help the people that have gotten screwed. i dont offer a person money mainly because im not here to GIVE them anything. I will check that site you provided out, and almost definately recommened it to my friend and help her out whatever way i can.
but anyway, what are you doing that your wife doesnt have to work and your paying the bills? what kind of job do you have, because it sounds like its paying well if your single handedly supporting a family by yourself. (not asking as an insult like i dont believe you. ive got friends that dont know what to do, and i want to look into the profession your in)
yea my grandfather was a carpenter, as my dad. id suggest you look twice before really dedicating your life to it. i was thinkin about just doing the same, but my dad told me not to anymore mainly because your worked like a slave now. you either work like no other, pretty much over work you, or they will get some one else for cheaper...illegal immigration is pretty much tearing the union appart. i figured id let you know that. o and if you do go on construction and you have to work at a Vonage phone company building...i pray for you lol. they had the people working 6 hours a week overtime or they wouldnt give them the job. of course thats what all big business is doing now because the cheap labor they can get now. just alil information on the direction construction unions are headed. on this path by the time i were to turn 30 chances are the union will have crumbled.
the world can change, its always changing, and theres no real reason why it cant change other then peoples attitudes. if you want to believe nothing can change, well fine, but there is a future beyond us, and they will be sure pissed off when they find that the past generations cared so little.
o and no it wasnt forget those people who are failing, its insentive to raise your grades. you want to play, well do better in school. i can name a good group of kids who only do school work because of sports teams. if there wasnt sports they would blow off all homework and such. its insentive, not forgeting.

The world is not Middle Earth in a Lord of the Rings fairy tales, in realiaty the line between good and evil is so blurred that, ultimately, there is simply no good guys or bad guys like the story books we read as kids.
Who are you to judge who's the bad guys? Your subjective perspective, that's what. The creators of the 9/11 trajedy are viewed as terrorists and the "bad' guys in the West, but in Middle East and other regions of the world they are seen as heroes, daring to stand up against the American domination and brutality that has been going on since the 1950s.
Vice versa, the American occupational troops in Iraq are not seen as brave warriors defending "freedom" of the people, but as an invasion force from the west attacking Iraq for its oil, which is true to some extent.
