I find it quite sad that in this day in age there are that many homeless/poor etc., in the US and Canada. There is no reason for it, yet it still exists. One can argue many points, but the matter of the fact is our governments are giving money away to help out other countries, putting money up for wars etc., but still can't manage to feed our own. True, tis not the governments job to feed and house the people, but come on now, there are many reasons why people are hungry and homeless. Children should not be suffering in 1st world countries. Simply put, there is just no need.

This time I blame whitey!
very true Sherie, there shouldn't be any suffering but at the same time the laziness that some of these "poor" people possess is quite disgusting as well.

Being from a "3rd world" country and living thru poverty that 99% of North America couldn't imagine or even live thru, part of me doesn't have as much sympathy for the "poor" of america compared to the "poor" of Thailand(just an example)
