Some people attach sponges to their knees and crawl around on all fours, like a dog

spikkels999: I will tell you:-
These "poor" people are just getting anything from me, as it's for free.
They don't even try to generate their own incomes.
When I die...who will look after them...?

Question:-
Who will earn a living if they don't have to...?
Spongers don't have to...
What about your own kids - two grown up men - are they still living with you?
Shouldn't they be independent by now?

It depends on the type of sponge. It's easy to help someone who would have given his life for you, it's not just any man but a poor man who would do that. You have to ask yourself the reason why they don't have any money? The bravest amongst us have no temperament for regular employment and sound investment.

Being used is one thing, giving is another.
One can give when one has something to give.
And give for the right reason...

some of you have had way too much to drink, or past your bedtimes.

So the sun is over the yard arm?
Besides Floridians are old drunk golfers mostly.
The rest live off the public sector benefits they accrued before retiring.
I guess that throws them into the drunken golfer category, or maybe drunken strip club regulars.

I only play mini golf and I don't drink. I'm from a small dairy town in NY State sadly taken over by the NYC Mafia.
