Teen parents are usually the ones who never finish high school. After they are done mooching off family and become a legal adult themselves, they end up on welfare, milking the system forever. Not all of them but yeah, I can see how that's a negative thing.
In the U.S., I believe there is an entitlement problem. This does not strictly apply to government aide programs either. I am referring to everyday encounters with individuals. There's a sense of "you owe me" in this country. No one owes you anything. Period. You reap what you sow. Sometimes you have a better harvest than others, sometimes they have a better harvest than you. You have to learn to roll with the punches. Life is NOT fair. As my calculus teacher once said, the fair only comes around once a year

I agree with this; however, I'd apply it to everyone: rich or poor, powerful or not... We live in such a westernized society that's focused on me, me, me, me me. If it doesn't benefit me and perhaps my immediate family, then who cares. I'm gonna walk all over everyone I can manage. There are a lot of ignorant and selfish people out there, and if we keep running our country and our culture that way, then there will be--if there already hasn't been--serious consequences.
Stupidity. People re-enacting a KILLER MOVIE makes me just shiver. So the stupidity and ignorance of people. *hack hack*
Btw that situation becomes worse and worse over time.
