On Moses' note.
My brother in law recently had a family of three from the hurricane disaster area come live with them in Virginia. His local Catholic church was providng funds for them and Chris provided a room in his house. The man got a job as a cook at a local restaurant and I am not sure what the woman did, beyond care for her child. This lasted for about a month. In the end the man quit the job because he preferred spending time playing video games. There was friction between them and Chris's family and they moved out. It turns out the man is not the husband, she is not married. When asked why she isn't marrried, she replied that the benefits from the state are better that way. They are now in a hotel paid for by Red Cross.

We do need a better system. What that is, I don't know. Now we reward behavior that is detrimental to them and our society.

Sup,
I do not presume everything is determined. I believe in free will. It is just that someone's ability to exercise options under free will may be self limiting by innate traits. Environment may strengthen or weaken those traits.

And yes, you phrased my main concern about how we treat them quite well, thank you.
