Bring in many of non-Armenians to learn?

Re: Bring in many of non-Armenians to learn?

Society is a drain on mother nature. It is about time for society to 'pay the rent,' I think.

MARK
how do you document real life
when real life's getting more
like fiction each day
headlines--bread-lines
blow my mind
and now this deadline
"eviction--or pay"
rent

MARK
and we're hungry and frozen

ROGER
some life that we've chosen

TOGETHER
how we gonna pay
how we gonna pay
how we gonna pay
last year's rent

...

BENNY
draw a line in the sand
and then make a stand

...

ALL
when they act tough--you call their
bluff

MARK & ROGER
we're not gonna pay

MARK & ROGER & 1/2 THE COMPANY
we're not gonna pay

MARK & ROGER & OTHER 1/2
we're not gonna pay

ALL
last year's rent
this year's rent
next year's rent

rent rent rent rent rent
we're not gonna pay rent

ROGER & MARK
'cause everything is rent

Got a spare room? Maybe I could sell my place, use that profit to pay off all my debt (with a little extra) and pay you some rent.

Best way to help mother nature is to cease to exist as humans.

It's amazing how the imaginary worlds of make belief and "alternate ways of thinking" suddenly take a back seat when one has to live in the real world, eh?

That's my father's main argument, and I disagree completely. You don't need to live by the financial norms of society to find happiness, in fact, doing just the opposite can make your experiences more worthwhile then you can ever imagine.

A lot of us simply don't have that luxury to be dreamers. Sure yah it would be nice if I could dream and live in my own world and do whatever the hell I wanted ... but in the end of the day, that's not how one can survive. I either pay the bills myself or end up being a drain on the society ... simple as that.

The system allows people to be a drain on society, this is true... All the hardworking people who suffer from high income taxes stand to lose in this deal. Yet how natural is this system? It's not the most enlightened system in the world either, so why should we dogmatically believe in it? And for a dreamer who's ready to abandon such mundane ideas, there shouldn't be any inner conflict.

Yes, we all get bitten in the ass, no matter what we do, but who's to say that the tax payer perceives the actual biting of their ass as any less painful than how the hobo (for example) would?

I have Wisconsin health insurance (a wonderful plan that is based on pay-based-on-income) and I am creative with the rest (but, most in my position can't do what I can do within the stupid system.) I live like this (and I don't expect most to understand this)... to stand up for those who need what I could escape, but they cannot.)


Mostly, I've spent all money I've saved--because I know that I saved means nothing in our current situation if certain things that I CAN prevent happen. Preventing that is priceless.

Well, your actions make me feel guilty inside, because I have money to spare, yet I'm not using it to help anybody but myself. Anyhow, I'm glad to hear you got such a great deal for health insurance. We have a good system here in quebec too, free health care :P
Trouble is, the doctors are underpayed compared to the other provinces and the states, so we often have shortages of them. This free health care is good for us, but it's a heafty budget that cuts down on the actual service aspect of the hospitals.
