I hear you GoldRivet, it's a crying shame that people will subject themselves and others to poor priorities. There will always be maladjusted people, but their numbers might be lessened with an education system, culture, and heck society that doesn't drive them to such behavior.
I mean a house cost $400,000 at least and gold wheels and booze maybe $900 a year. If people don't get on the high track of college, education, decency then the consolation prize of a sub-culture is pretty much the only thing they have to fall back on in terms of feeling at least partially worthwhile and fitting in.
A lot of social services are abused but it doesn't mean the concept behind it is bad. I wouldn't mind more restriction on some social services. A safety net should be functional but not comfortable.

God I hope so. People should get confused about their ideas so they have to look hard at their notions and possibly get better ones.
