>I absolutely disagree with everything you are saying. I am not trying to make you change your mind, you have set of views and ideas that are just opposite of mine. So making arguments back and forth would not be constructive. I don't know if you have kids or what you are telling your kids. But I am telling my children that nobody will take advantage of them if they study and work hard, everything is in their hands. If they don't succeed it is only their fault, nobody else.

When your job gets outsourced, sit and think what did you do to make it go away. Because it was your fault, nobody else's.

I know, this belief that it's all in your hands is part of the American dream and part of the system of beliefs that goes with it (which then makes me think what's the purpose of charity - maybe to make these homeless people go through another day of thinking what have they done wrong?). Which probably was valid in some times. I just don't see the playfield being so level nowadays.
