It is so unfair and unjust. Mylot friends,what is your take on this? I know of course there are mentally ill p eople that are homeless, and drunks, and drug addicts, but there are also many many women and children and men who are simply out of work and were evicted or had their homes foreclosed and thus became homeless.Either they had no family to turn to ,or their families did not have any funds either to help them. I even met one young woman with a four month old baby who was homeless. she was not mentally ill, she was not a drunk, and she was very intelligent and scared silly so please do not forget a lot of these people are simply just like your neighbors.

What are some things you have noticed that are different about your country then say somewhere else ? Just from being on here I have noticed that some people have to pay for their medicare while in our country this is free , another thing I have noticed is that in some counrties having a live in nanny seems to be a part of the norm where in our country this is unheard of unless one is rich . What is it like in your country that you have noticed was different from other countries ?

I never expect to have this result, i laugh as a reaction, however, it also gives a good reflection on my attitude toward friendship. Take a look at my result: "YOU are a loyal friend. Your friends are fortunate to have you. People like you are very few." wow..never expect that...

Mon, 02 Nov 2009 23:47:11 GMT Lucky10 http://www.mylot.com/w/discussions/1916328.aspx I am curious to know about my friends in mylot. Are you living in the same place where you born? I born in my mother’s place (a village in South India), which is beautiful place around with a lake. The place is filled with coconut trees. I brought up in my father’s place where instead of coconut trees filled with rubber trees. That is also a beautiful place. But now I am in the capital city of our country. Tell me about you, eagerly waiting to hear from you all. [em]happy[/em] Sat, 21 Feb 2009 05:13:14 GMT Sreekala http://www.mylot.com/w/discussions/655802.aspx I have just joined the community.

Keep Smiling Always :) Wed, 24 Jan 2007 07:57:58 GMT lifeisbeautiful http://www.mylot.com/w/discussions/2014374.aspx [em]happy[/em]I count my blessings when I read how many people in the world go hungry and have no money to call their own. I dread old age, because our government has no social security for the aged. Life has been reasonably kind to me till now. I cant say I have been on the top or even middle, but then Im not bad off too. I manage to make ends meet with a lot of pulling and pushing, but I have the support of my husband and son. They are good people to be around. How has life treated you guys. Are you all as happy as I am, better or worse ? Tell all.

Mon, 21 Sep 2009 03:05:59 GMT Radicsphere003 http://www.mylot.com/w/discussions/2006177.aspx I always thought that each and every person on this Planet wants to be rich. But I was shocked to know that it is not true. There are also people who doesn't want to be rich or who doesn't believe that this is possible. The other thing is, that a lot of people don't even know what they need a lot of money for. It is common that people say: to buy a house, travel and buy nice things, that's about it. So, what about you? Do you really want to be rich? Or it will be enough if you will have just extra $2000 every month? Mon, 11 May 2009 14:57:57 GMT soleya
