[QUOTE="Lammie, post: 546038, member: 3306"] I agree. The economy here is booming, thanks to the Barnett Shale and all the service industries that go with it. But there are still people, grown healthy men, who complain that they can't find jobs and will blame Mexicans for it. Let's just say it, they are too darn lazy to get out there and really work. There is a LOT of money to be made if you are young and able bodied and willing to bust your hump. There are job fairs all the time. Illegals aren't getting those jobs. But people are doing exactly what you said, walking off and leaving a house because they can't find a job where they can make a lot of money sitting on their rumps and doing nothing. There is a trailer park near here called The Homesteads. Ten years ago, you didn't drive through there unless you had a reason. It was a big meth lab. Dangerous after dark. Now, it is still a little rough, but there are actual houses there, built by people that came here from Mexico, a little at a time, through hard work. And when they finish that house, they build another for another family member. Everyone works together, and they live on the land and in the houses that were abandoned by white folks. Say what you want, but that, in my opinion, is what America is about. We are a people are grown soft. We want to work at GM for twenty years and retire to lifetime medical and pension. We want to supervise. Okay. Nuff rant. I gotta get ready for work. [/QUOTE]
