I'm a single mother, and I work part time and take care of my disabled mother. We are a burden to the state, yes, because I make too little money and we get state medical insurance.
It's there, it is offered and I'm not doing without medical benefits for my son if I don't have to.
I had to look up jingoism also: The term is generally negative and applies to extreme patriotism used especially to persuade public opinion in support of war.
Also looked up burden: A load of any kind A severe task A difficult duty, requiring effort
If they are illegal then how do they get Social Security cards and welfare benefits?
Maybe "the system" should have better ways of checking on fraudulent claims for all humans who are hungry, born here or not, and not just the illegal ones.
Maybe I met up with a better "class of illegals" but I never met any who expected to be catered to. They worked ten hour days, and did not claim anything more than a paycheck.
I know what you are talking about, but I don't agree with you. Having lived in San Diego for 28 years, I grew to love the cultural differences and I took several classes to learn Spanish. I worked in Tijuana for two years, and was welcomed by most of the people who live there.
I miss Mexico and working in TJ more than any job I have ever had. and I miss the food! Many times, I was embarassed to be among the Americans driving down there in the rush hours. Most did not stop at the crosswalks for the school children to cross. They did not observe the speed limits and treated the Mexicans second rate.
Only once do I remember the horrible hurt feeling of being treated unfairly by someone because I was white. It is a feeling that cuts deeply and I wish it upon no one.
MOST of the Mexicans who crossed illegally did so to earn money to send home. MOST of them worked at jobs the high school kids would not even do.
I grew up in Ohio and learned the language enough to have fun with it. Most of the Mexican speak English, most of the world does. I do not agree with what you have said at all.
My ex, the father of my younger son has changed drastically. I always saw the good in what he could be, as a creative, artistic and musical man. He could make beautiful things out of wood, he was so funny and made me laugh all the time.
Unfortunately, I could not bring it out the the surface. He kept backsliding to things not so good for family life, and after our son was born, he would not straighten up. (How I thought he should be)
Now, ten years later, he has completely turned it all around. He is off all the bad things he was doing, he works days instead of nights, he and his wife of six years have bought a house in Oklahoma and what I would like to know is WHY I could not bring him around? I know he loved me more than anyone up until then but even having a child together didn't make him grow up.
When we had been together after several years and not getting along so well, he accused me of changing, not being the same woman I was when he met me. He tried to make me feel guilty and responsible for our problems. But I told him we are SUPPOSE TO CHANGE, right? We had a new baby, we are supposed to grow, change and hopefully do that together. Where did our love go? I became a mother for the second time and did not want my boys exposed to some of the things he was bringing into the house.
He is different from my last most recent ex who was verbally and emotionally abusive and I doubt he will ever change in a million years. I will never know though, because we have severed all ties.
Me too. Giving it up. If it's going to happen, it will happen on its own. I've met some really nice men, but there is no connection and I'm tired of going through all of these coffee meetings.
That's why if you are going to meet someone from online, do it right away so you don't waste a lot of energy thinking it is going to work out.
I've been on so many meets, it's like job interviews and the last few that I did meet I wasn't even nervous, my main concern was what kind of coffee I'd order.
