  1. That's the plea of the childish at heart. "How come Johnny has a bigger one than me?". We live in an era where people are falling over one another to prove how oppressed they are. The oppressed are the heroes....not the strong, fearless and determined. Just prove your oppression and then insist that you need help. It's time to grow up and grow a backbone. If you don't make enough an hour, work longer hours, cut back on expenses, plan a budget, DON'T DO DRUGS. There are ways to get out of it. The poorest people alive today are richer than more than 95% of the people that lived 150 years ago. They have better healthcare, better and more abundant food, even better shelter. What am I talking about. I have better healthcare, better and more abundant food and shelter and I make below the poverty level on a senior pension and that's it. We're happier complaining than we are working towards solutions. Until we change that, as a society, things will get progressively worse. That's how progressivism works.
