Why I am cynical
Ok, first post, let's get this out of the way. I am a cynic. If you wish to stop reading after seeing that please do, because chances are I don't want you or people like you here anyway.
One of the reasons I am cynical are stories like this. If you can't be bothered reading it, don't know how to operate a link, are incapable of understanding some of the big, scary words used in the article or your PC is frozen and you are stuck with just this to read then the jist of the article is this: Some homeless guy was given 100,000 US dollars and blew it all, yes, all of it.
First on the shopping list is an apartment, nothing wrong with that, can't blame him for getting a roof over his head. Next up was, obviously, a $32,000 (USD) truck. Then he went about bringing his buddies to the car dealers and buying them cars too, as you do.
He continued being a bog standard moron until he was out of money, at which point all his friends disappeared...
You see, I think that people are what they are for a reason, and only they are capable of long term change. Give a sporty person a high end computer and the knowledge of how to use it, but they will always end up going back to the feild. Give a hobo $100,000 and he will blow it all and end up in the gutter again.
