I'm sure however that anyone who uses the library regularly has to wonder how these folks have all the time in the world to look at books, get online, use the restroom as their personal grooming area and enjoy the climate control.................all the while, 100 yards away, KFC is hiring.................................................
BUT, although I pick on the library, I figure most of those folks probably have some mental disorder and can't help themselves, well at least a few of them do..............................................................................but, there are several places in rome that I can't stand to go because of the "I'm gonna get what's mine" mentality of all the people there................................................................ummmmmmmmmm, the ER, Urgent Care for instance God forbid you actually have to go to the health dept to get a birth certificate...................................
in line at any grocery store at the beginning of the month.......................................
That's always a sore spot watching people load up three buggies of food that I'm paying for, while they use their own money to purchase the beer and cigarettes..................................I know, I know, since I'm knocking that then it must mean that I want little children to starve....................................actually, I don't.................but where are the churches and the charitable organizations???? When did charity become mandatory??????????????
I will say an BIG AMEN! It's not that folks are down on their luck, it's folks that don't want to work, don't want to be responsible, and expect you and me to pay their way. I can barely pay my way because most of my check goes to taxes! I say..."Get a JOB!!"
Give me a break!
