HAHA thats true Phoeun but you'll learn us americans dont like that crap we'd rather ship our parents off to a home cause we dont want them cramping our style.
Though there are people who still do respect and care for parents. Actually if you read any studies its at a all time high where we have so much of our potential workforce being a primary caregiver. There are still some who hold those ideals of carign for your mother. And when you dont have a job and you have to take care of someone all day i'm sure the SS check for your parents helps because if you can't take a job becuase you have to give 24/7 care to a loved one you loose a lot of potential salary. So it does work sometimes :) There are those who are greedy and selfish and say we shouldn't give handouts but I guess they've never been in need or they have and they got lucky and got a break and got out of it and so they take a hard stance on that type thing. I'd rather give some of my money to help others and let it help some then be a greedy SOB who just doesnt give a flying f$$k about anyone else becuase they are too worried worrying about their own interests ----- Original Message ----- From: "Phoeun Pha" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: "CF-Community" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Sent: Monday, October 21, 2002 4:22 PM Subject: RE: More on social security > Personally, I think Social Security only works well in a society where > people do not take care of their elders very well.
