IT'S BECAUSE MY PARENTS TAUGHT ME BETTER!
Holy crap, what a concept! taking responsibility for one's actions, trying everyday to better yourself and those around you, knowing that life isn't fair but not letting that slow you down. these are the things people need to embrace. don't drag yourself into a life of self pity. don't project blame onto others when it should be placed solely on your own shoulders.
so please dont try to make it seem like "the man" is trying to keep poor people poor. the people stuck in slums are there because of choices they have made themselves.

exactly what he said. i would NEVER contemplate suicide. i never go down without a hell of a fight. my parents taught me to be self reliant, if i **** up, oh well, i learn from my mistakes and move on. i dont sit around crying because i lost money, ill find out why and FIX IT. i will NEVER kill myself over something so stupid.
BTW Mike which facility do you work at? one of the ones on Ft. Dix?
