Thief cuts store's power to reach lottery tickets

It always amazes me how many people whose names appear in the jail intake reside in Public Housing according to the addresses listed in the jail intake. With the inflated economy and outrageous food and gas prices, It just irritates me to no end to know that part of the tax money being pulled from my paycheck goes to help provide housing for able-bodied people who spend their time stealing from other people buying drugs and alcohol and cruising the streets burning up gasoline while driving on revoked, or suspended licenses. I guess it is also safe to assume they also are not insured to drive these vehicles. If anyone wants to dispute any of these claims, drive down Lane Parkway in the middle of the day, and see who is outside the apartments. The yards and porches are filled with young adults and children. This tells me they are physically able to still bear children, so why aren't they physically able to work and provide for their own families. America's social hand-out system needs to be revamped in the worst kind of way. It should be a mandatory practice to expel anyone from public housing who has been arrested for any type of criminal activity. Personally, I will help anyone anytime anywhere who has a legitimate need, but so many times those people who are truly deserving of assistance cannot qualify. Drug and alcohol addictions can qualify you for social assistance, but many medically and mentally handicapped people, widows and widowers, and people displaced from jobs or homes due to circumstances not attributable to themselves are often left with no resources for help. The US seems to reward bad behavior with more and more handouts. Let a teenager get pregnant, and we'll pay their medical bill, put them through college, pay their daycare, give them food stamps and WIC vouchers and provide them with thousands of dollars of earned income credit. That same teenager can graduate from highschool with a clean record, have a 3 point or above GPA hold down a part-time job and do everything right, and still not qualify for financial aid of any type to further their education. It's time we stop rewarding the negligent and funneling all our money into losers and start rewarding the productive, ambitious young people who will one day be leading the country. Nuff said.

Could not have said it better.

What is a legend drug?

In: Crime and Criminal Law

Answer

In the U.S., a legend drug is any drug that requires a prescription. This may be a controlled substance (narcotic) or a non-narcotic drug.

(He may of been pulled arrested for an antibotic!)

Thank you Union, I never been in trouble like that so I am not familiar with all the technical jargon of the jargon.

What they should do instead putting them in jail or patting them on the back, male or female. Is send them over there where they are fighting,and let the ones that has family and children come home. We loseing the good ones and we having to keep these up. Maybe they would grow up, that one man was 50 yrs old and he still acting like a kid. At that age he should know he need a license to drive also insurance. If they had to go and do one day, what our soldiers are doing, they would never make it. Because they can't hold job down here, and that show what they made of. As long as it handed out to them and they can go and maybe stay a few days in jail, that like going on vacation to some of them, they getting there food and lodgeing. Then when they do there time, they get slap on there back and told to stay out of trouble or Ya'll are come back, you hear!!!!

Our World can't take much more, one of the days we going to look out and they be fighting in our streets, if we don't try to help our Law put a stop to all of this. You know have it sound to hear the fireworks going off last week. Have would like to have to listern to that sound all the time, only it wouldn't be firecrackers. Have are you going to save you small children and your love ones? Think about that sound! We need to get the drugs off our streets and out of children hands. God Bless Our Country!

WriteAttitude.......Excellent post! I agree 100 percent. As the father of four teenagers (the oldest two are working, playing sports and attending high school) I am very proud that they have the pride and sense of self-worth to not rely on someone else to do things for them. It'll make them more productive members of society in the long run. Things always have a way of evening out, so these free-loaders and worthless individuals who abuse the system will get retribution in the end. Mark my words.

Yes, Grandpat, as a Christian, I realize that but by God's Grace there go I, however, Christians especially should stand up and reject a social system that enables, and is a co-dependant of criminal and anti-social behavior. God's own word states that "true religion and undefiled is to help the fatherless and the widows. I can't speak for God, but my interpretation of this is that we should help support orphans and widows, not sustain illigitimate children of dead-beat dads and wanton mothers. The scriptures also state that if a man doesn't work, he shouldn't eat. Since the fall of man it has been man's duty to work, and till the ground and support his family, and it has been a woman's duty to care for her children and husband and to work alongside him to provide and maintain the family structure. I realize everyone doesn't hold the same Christian beliefs that I have been taught and tried to adhere to, however, that Christian foundation and That same Grace that you have mentioned has helped me make choices that have allowed me to mature and grow and be a productive member of society. I have raised 3 wonderful children, seen that they have acquired college educations, (without financial assistance), and I am now enjoying the fruit of my husband's and my hard work. These children are now raising their families and providing for them independently. To me that speaks measures about God's Grace in my life, but we cannot forget that God allows us all to make our own decisions regardless of who we are. If people need a "jumpstart" in life because of poverty, or lack of training, then let's train them, get them on the right track and limit the amount of time we finance their livelihood. If they aren't willing to take the ball and run with it, cut them off. People who never learn and remain on public assistance generation after generation are an albatross around the neck of society. Every child is given a chance in America, it's called a free education system. There comes a time when each person should have to sit down to a banquet of the consequences they have earned based on their own choices. Even in nature, birds feed their young for a while, and then push them out of the nest. It's time for some of these people to fly or die!

writeattitude That was awesome!!! It is sad that people can do whatever they want. I am going to school, trying to take care of a baby (whom the mother decided that she could go away for 3 weeks, and come back when she was ready) and I too have a very limited income. Additionally I am on medical leave at the present and not allowed to work as per doctors orders. When I try to get help, I am not eligible. I have yet to figure out how things work. I know Shelbyville Power could care less if I am out of work or not, they have no porblem cuttin my lights off.
