"Former student surprises his vocational teacher with a statue. The inscription reads "You taught me everything about plumbing. Showed me that I could. In a reassuring Finland-Swedish accent you told me that even the sun has it spots when I made mistakes. Thank you.""

#8 I'm from Austin, and 99% of those "homeless" people on The Drag by UT are homeless by CHOICE. BY CHOICE! Those students are making a point.

Bedney,
Have you interviewed the homeless "by choice" people to confirm this? Or, is this something you heard and, for whatever reason, now choose to believe?

Artelepsa, no bedney is right. When i was a kid my dad would take me with to drop off food and clothes and stuff for his friend who lived in a park, sleeping on the bench and i told my dad to take him home and give him a job, my dad said no, he sits there drinking because he wants to, and there is nothing stopping him or anyone else from getting off their butt and changing situation, but they don't because they don't want to. And I was a kid and didn't quite understand it at the time, but since then i have always looked at peoples "lot" in life with regards to what he said, and he was right, there is nothing stopping anyone from changing their own life, other than their own comfort of accepting their situation and their lack of ambition to change it.

a lot of these are what happens when you teach feelings and propaganda and not how to live and facts.
