- Have you ever heard the saying "you are a product of your society"?
- I base the majority of my beliefs on how my life is in the U.S. and my
- personal experiences. The media can be deceptive to some degree.
- What statistical information are you refering too?
- Based on these "statistics" and many unmentioned life experiences, why
- shouldn't I believe as I do?
-
- Don't judge a man until you walked in his shoes!!!
- You certainly haven't enough evidence to judge me as to foolish to come up
- with a good idea.

- Great!!! I want to see the number of whites who want to fill my position as
- homeless too!
- Like it or not. If things keep up this way there will be many out on the
- street.
- I don't work nobody works!
- Life only gives back what you put into it.
- What comes around goes around.
- Welcome to the ghetto.
