i have saw a lot of people especially here lately that are taking more and more for granted, and i don't really understand why either because it seems like things are getting harder now but like people take other peoples kindness for granted like when i saw a man that was standing on the side of the highway last week asking for money and someone gave some to him thinking that he was homeless i saw him go across the parking lot and get into his nice car and go to mcdonalds, but even more than that people are really taking advantage, do you agree?

yes i agree with you that a lot more people take advantage of stuff. its crazy sometimes at school people will ask for like a dollar because they have no money so you feel bad and give them one and then you see them go in the snack like and they have like $5. i do not like people who are like that, i think it is so rude and it is just wrong.

People now days take advantage where they can. I see homeless people out with signs on nearly a daily basis and I wonder what makes them do this? Why can't they get day work like every body else. And i used to see co-workers take advantage of others just because they could. It is sad. But as long as others let it happen it will continue. No one stands up for themselves. They just let themselves be walked on. I just try to take care of my little corner and hope others do the same.

It seems like in these days of endless credit, there is alot of people who think that if they want something then they should go right ahead and get it regardless of the consequences.

Definitely... I've noticed people put much less effort into working and asking people to do simple things like picking up stuff, etc. Also, especially with money - people take all opportunities like grabbing things that aren't theirs and putting no effort in finding the owner. The people that take advantage of things probably know the other person won't say no... because it'd be rude to start a fight over something so minor, but its very unfortunate. Unfortunately, karma will probably get that man one day... he could have at least performed or something to earn it.
