at least a buncha kids didn’t build a wiffle ball park, now THAT would be unacceptable!
Why did you use the term NIMBY? The libs in this article don’t appear to have a problem with it. Would you? I would.
Why is it unacceptable? As Boortz would say, these "urban sportsmen" choose to be where they are. They are not looking for jobs...they choose not to be employed. Just the other day I was waiting at a stop light and a man was there with a sign saying he was homeless and needed food to eat. I had just come out of a grocery store, about 100 yards away, that had signs they needed stock boys. So, I rolled down the window, pulled up to the homeless man and told him about the job opening. His response: "F#$k you!" and he flipped me off. If these people don't want to help themselves, I fail to see why I should help them either directly (give them cash) or indirectly (having my tax money aid them via the city).
Some place elegant in Philadelphia? Somehow I just can’t imagine.
