Yeah, bad on me for taking care of my own AND maybe teaching others how to grow up and take care of their own. Don't confuse me with someone looking for hand outs. I have defending you Lowing on many accounts concerning personal responsability.
Nothing wrong with helping others, but to purposely move to, or stay in an undesireable area when you have a choice is simply not believeable.
This thread is about segragation, and basically you are saying you would integrate into a shitty nirghborhood for the greater good of teaching your children selflessness. I just do not believe that you or anyone on this forum would do that.
If I was to live in an area such as you describe I would send my kids to the school and welcome the integration. I have not and will not move into an are just to make a difference. You are stretching the scenario a bit.
I started this whole thing with a simple example of how we as a family decided to not take the easy way out. You then stretched the thing to test my resolve concerning my beliefs. You then call me a liar when I tell you what I would do in the circustances I laid out. You then stretched those to further test me and I have been trying to keep you honest about what I have said or not said ever since.
I am done with work now so it is bedtime. Later.
Edit: I will check my phone for your response on my way home to see how you try to call me a liar again.
Sorry, but I think you would move if your nieghborhood and your kids school turned to shit, and I do not think you would welcome the "diversity" that comes with minorities moving into an area. Again I do not like saying it, and I know it is not PC but the fact remains, generally when minorites move in, the area including the schools go down the tubes. You know this to be true, and yes, for you to deny this and welcome the changes minority integration in reality brings, I do not believe you. Tell ya what though, I wil apologize for calling you a liar, that is outta line. I will revise my statement to say, I think you believe your good intentions but you will succumb to the realities of the sitution, and move.
