as jws we learned a lot about persuasion and how to get people to accept our ideas.
we had role plays on over coming objections.
we were taught how to anticipate typical questions and respond to them.

us, a civilized or a barbaric country?
i am fully aware i might upset some people on the board by asking what i do in this thread, and i wouldnt be surprised if someone would accuse me of attacking americans again.
i do, however, have a reason for asking and my question is an honest one.
Hi Kent,
A very valid question there.
I had to use the welfare system when I had my son. It wasn't even at the sustenance level. The job training programs werent like they have now. I did get help to go to return to school.Got trained in my first job as a teachers aid in a local settlement house. So I used it for maybe 2 years.
The problem today is not just with that system. The financial cutbacks to the mental health system,have put many sick people on the streets.I think Regan really let that one loose,The King of Hearts concept.And it's gone even further downhill since then.
We dont have enough social workers due to these cuts,and these are overworked with outrageous caseloads.
Medical help is there.......... But the poor man or woman working 2 part time jobs w/ no benefits are the ones that fall thru the legal cracks.They d0nt qualify for welfare, or the medical aid welfare card.
As larc so poignantly showed us,certain age groups also become destitute,fall thru these cracks due to restrictions that are based on age,not need.
There are unbelievable waiting lists for drug alcohol rehab,folks who WANT the help,but not enough money spent(and usually cut back) on this aspect of care to make a difference. Unreal!! I worked a afew,doing psych/social intakes etc. Like with the other services,limited budget,not enough staff(underpaid btw) with caseloads that would break an elephants back.
We dont have enough shelters for the homeless.we dont have enough safe houses for battered women and their children.
One really has to 'work' the system,and I mean work it hard to get what one needs. it's not as easy as some make it out to be.
You're sick here,Cook County hospital is your option. if you're not coming in with CHF,GSW,(triage yanno) you can easily spend 8 hours waiting to be seen.
Programs like I mentioned above suffer dreadfully from lack of funding. People survive,but at times,just barely .
jusMHO from persoanl experiences.Tina

well, i came in this morning, prepared to write a glib little post regarding my astrological findings.
but i find my heart too heavy to do so today.
perhaps its just the timespatriotic fervor sweeps over me.
Greetings All!
Excellent food for thought in this thread.Thank you! luv,Tina

You have the right to remain stupid. Anthing you write can and will be ignored.
me: "i see that you have been getting some adverse press about the un.".
mum: "it doesn't surprise me, the un hate us!".
me: "no, let me explain, the society are registered with the un as an ngo and are bound to uphold the principals of the un.".

If my mum talked to me,it would have went the same as yours.....luv,T

two of this board's, and h2o's before it,long time and well known participants have fallen on desperately hard times.
if they could set up pay pal accounts and enough of us could contribute say $20 - $50 per month it would help them though their hardship.. these two people have helped many escape from the wts and i know for sure have given money and other material help to those in need, even when they could not afford it.. if you can help, send an email to: [email protected].
you need not include any particulars of who you are etc, just an indication that you could support this and how much you could send.
ack Forgive me ((((((jukie))))))))))))) lTNS,Tina
