Sad commentary on the Delta but to be honest ,so true.Breeding like rabbits with no sense or dignity,the "minority"majority mindset will be status quo until welfare checks are cut out if after being unemployable for 6 months.Interesting to see Hattiesburg comparison...people actually work and want to work here,hence the low unemployment regardless of their marital status unlike the majority of the pregnant Deltans.

How about 10 of the cute young mothers move in with me & I'll provide for them & get them off of welfare.:) That is as long as they take care of me.

saddest part is there are those women who know how to work the system. I know this for a fact because I know someone personally that is knocked up a 2nd time to avoid working....prolonging it now by getting a GED...now that she has that she is too sick (WAHHH) to work, cant hold food down, is exhausted..blah, blah, blah...now the next baby will come along and she will do it again...she doesnt even take care of the one she has...her mother has it 5 days out of the week so she can go hang w/her friends....smoke and drink...she gets money for a baby she aint caring for and is abusing the one she is carrying....she is 5 months preg and got her tongue pierced....the boyfriend (current one anyway) cant keep a job....welfare generations...she is 3rd generation system...only way to stop it is to cut them off all together......wait-they will get around that too i am sure.

Daily Horoscope for December 26

Virgo

Mercury is turning retrograde at just the right time, because it's telling you to consider the validity of your long-term aims and aspirations. If they stand about as much chance of seeing the light of day as you do of winning the Lottery, then you need to streamline them or even abandon them and start again. So think about what you want from life and how you're going to get it. Children and romance may be quite erratic during this phase.
