It's true, Korean animation is so lame!

(Not really.)

Furthermore, it's people operating withing a system that has failed them.

Hypothetically, where everyone is equal and starting on equal foot, giving everyone morem oney likely would benefit most.

But we don't live in hypothetical land. Those resorting to begging are primarily in a bad state and we'll down the path of mental instability, chronic homelessness, addiction, physical disabilities, or escaping abuse. They don't have the education or mental capacity to make the right choices financially and don't have safety nets to get them on their feet.

I don't agree with it for two specific reasons, non is a judgement of character or moral failings:

  1. If you are willing to give a beggar any amount, those dollars would be far more useful in the hands of a good organization whose aim is helping people. Want to feed them? Give them food or donate to the food back. Want to clothe them? Give to a shelter.
  2. The reality is that these people are likely not capable adults due to a variety of reasons (no judgement). They are not capable making good decisions for their own well-being and giving them money is fueling an unhealthy choice, like short term happiness for long term pain and potentially death.

My belief is that we should mitigate suffering, help them live good lives, and set them up to be contributing members of society, and that isn't accomplished by randomly giving people money.

Man, I wish. Preschool rocked.

You should come with me because grammar and punctuation don't seem like a strong suit.

Yeah, I'm not too concerned about that. Their courts are being attacked with so much that I'm pretty sure downloading a car isn't going to be high on their list.

Good, fuck the USA and it's garbage products. It'd be harder to do if they weren't shit now, but perpetually cutting quality is basically the USA's motto. Now they are experiencing it in the government.

I use Transit when taking the bus in Calgary. It's very helpful. Didn't know it was Canadian. I would say it is a must-have for transit users.

And clearly will be used for CP.

A co-worker's parents asked her about it and my coworker asked if I heard about. I think it's spread further than you think.

The reality is that this blackout might not change the world, but it can send a message about how united people are.

Been a rough week for the White House when it comes to sports. Little victories should be celebrated.

 

It's kind of shocking seeing a couple of disabled people get beaten down, but it is worth it as it makes their journey feel real.

But the bad English dub, the one sound effect, and the fight scenes that happen every 5 minutes get laughably bad and boring.

I guess it lived up to the expectations with a name like "The Crippled Masters."
