Seriously, every time I'm driving and I see idiots handing money to bums at intersections and off ramps, I just cringe. How stupid do you have to be to give those low lifes..cash? It's like a former neighbor of mine who used to feed raccoons. Geezus H some of you humans are just beyond ignorant.Crime breeds Poverty. Yeah, the "social engineers" would have us reverse that and say "poverty breeds crime," but that is a lie. There are many poor people that are good and honest folk. But crime, whether in the back alleys or the lawyers' offices, the builders or the boardrooms of the world, crime breeds poverty. There's no other way to look at the actual causal relationship of the two.There are a lot of people who live in poverty who wouldn't think of stealing anything either. Drugs breed crime. They steal to make money to pay for the drugs. Clear and simple.Keep it Clean. Please avoid obscene, vulgar, lewd,racist or sexually-oriented language.PLEASE TURN OFF YOUR CAPS LOCK.Don't Threaten. Threats of harming anotherperson will not be tolerated.Be Truthful. Don't knowingly lie about anyoneor anything.Be Nice. No racism, sexism or any sort of -ismthat is degrading to another person.Be Proactive. Use the 'Report' link oneach comment to let us know of abusive posts.Share with Us. We'd love to hear eyewitnessaccounts, the history behind an article.© Copyright 2020 (A Meredith Corporation Station), 14975 NW Greenbrier Parkway Beaverton, OR&nbsp;| &nbsp;| &nbsp;|Powered by from .
