Oh and now, someone was over there waxing all spIrtchuull (gaagg!) about "suffering." Yeah, probably from a comfy 3k square-foot house.

First off: in the real world, "suffering" inhales.  Real people, who actually use their noggins, will avoid "suffering" like they'll avoid the black freaking plague.  That's spelled (being) s-m-a-r-t.  Smart people plan - ya know, go to COLLEGE and study, and hedge those marketable skills - and so, don't end up being a pain the backside to their families, their church, their community.  Uh, kinda qualifies as an act of mercy, ya think? - after all, uh, aren't there more than enough poor people already???

Just burns me up, when people play the Jesus-card - while conveniently forgetting His Word also includes an Old Testament chock full of Scriptures concerning working, saving, investing, and avoiding debt.  Why, in the New Testament, not every widow qualified to be on the church charity list.  Widows under the age of 60 were expected to either remarry - yeah, good luck with that - or (i guess) gedda j.o.b.

People who tell other people that women don't need college, need to put a sock in it.  Uhm, look around.  A job that actually has the hours and the pay to actually afford decent food and lodging aren't just around any street-corner.  The REALITY is, it's tough enough for a young person to find sustainable work - let alone some has-been.
