Parts of Brockton EMTs do the same, parts of New Bedford EMTs do the same.

NYFD EMTs sometimes carry vests.
Must be Duval's fault.

It's the animals that live in these places fault and a government that enables it. What enables them to do it and what are we going to do to stop it?

Giving out a welfare check isn't going to help stop it. Educating them won't help stop it.

Making them accountable for their own lives and actions might...............

Pussification of America where everyone is so delicate about everything has led to this. Our culture has allowed it and it’s disgraceful. We have animals living amongst us.

"we"?
You must have a frenchman in your pocket. Swing down around Brockton and tell them they're a bunch of enabled pussies. Let me know how that works out for you.

Oh right! You're going to vote, and nothing is going to change. Yay!

You want real pussification?
Pissing and moaning on the internet and expecting someone else to fix it for you.
Thats the true pussification of America.

Just make sure you do it after noon because most of them are asleep before that....

Ha, ha , ha likwid,

You are the type of guy that makes me laugh. I'd like to meet you someday likwid. No pussification here. I don’t “hide” behind my computer.

I absolutely have 100% no problem telling someone perfectly capable of getting a job to get one. In a previous post I said I know someone who gets a check for “depression”. I’ve told them how I feel. What are they going to try and beat me up? Come on dude.

Not sure where you get running to Brockton and calling people pussies from?? I called them animals, not pussies.

By the way, far from complaining on the internet and expecting someone else to fix it. I actually call my congressman Keating , Cantwell and Sen. Brown. It’s useless to call Kerry anymore.

Sounds like you are happy with the way things are these days. If you aren’t, what is your solution? Bring something to the table likwid instead of trying to post your typical cute, no substance responses.

I know someone who's suffers from epic depression caused by years of sexual abuse as a child, so bad in fact it took over two decades to find a doctor who could diagnose it.

I guess they should just pull themselves up by their boot straps right?

Sad that person has to live with that every day. Hopefully the person responsible was held accountable.

Do they have a job or are they on Government assistance?

Isn't one of the best ways to combat depression to be active (like work)? Obviously we see things differently but it seems like a whole lot of people are using excuses not to work and be carried by everyone else. Lots of things can cause depression, does that make it a reason to not be self-sufficient? Not sure it does but I guess there are some unique cases.

PS. The person I know is LAZY believe me.

No they should get a free phone, housing, food, health insurance and an EBT card so they can buy drugs, booze and lottery tickets.

That should make at least you feel better.

And no I'm not heartless just matching your extremes

At least you're not judgmental.
