I agree with the wanting to be taken care of instead of making an honest living thing. I watched a documentary on prison and prison life on one of the satellite channels (can't remember which one) and some of the prisoners even admitted that they felt more "comfortable" in prison because they were provided with everything they need. It is so strange, to me at least, to NOT "need" televison or internet, but I suppose that one CAN learn to live without these things if they really had to. It just still boggles my mind that they would give up freedom to go out and get a burger and fries and a beer with friends, be with family, or even go to the movies just to be provided with meals and a place to sleep. Isn't that weird how that is more important than those other things we, as "non-inmates" feel are important? Makes you think about priorities and how people think and feel.
Thank you Rekrats...I know there are really bad people who have NO respect for anyone. How can that happen? I couldn't imagine taking another's life, even by accident! It would fundimentally kill me inside.
@autoguy HAHAHHAH! That is a good one! I may have found my comedy-rival here! :D
They sued to segregate a facility I worked at by sex in the same fashion. Staff could use the basement which had laundering facilities, the main kitchen, and beds for overnight staff while patients had the upstairs halves of the building. IN this way you could still have men and women together in one building, but the modesty issues were smaller and you could use less staff to treat and care for more people. There was another facility on the site that had a famous tunnel that ran between the homes for storage and maintenance as well.
OH OOOOH can I have that sign for my bedroom door so I can keep little boogers from invading my every space...when all I want to do is be quiet and by myself....IS THAT TOO MUCH TO ASK??
Ooops...sorry Mr. Motts...got a little emotional there.
Carry on.
