One sees this all over Europe. It is coming here now. It, like everything, cannot be stopped. They are bringing There Here.
You will prevail, you will disappear the USA.

You claim to value capitalism over socialist free stuff, but when these kids engage in a free market enterprise, you snivel about that too. News flash skippy: Many multi-million-dollar companies and present-day billionaires started much like this.

There's just no pleasing you - is there? 😲

Like we used to put up a table and sell lemonade when we were 10, I guess that makes us criminals just like those wretched candy sellers. Even more wretched, delivering newspapers like I did when I was 12, THRASH THAT SOB.

Ah yes - Paper routes and lemonade stands. I remember them well. 🙂

It's a pity Joe has "selective amnesia" when it comes to this.

No, one doesn't.

You really will believe any silly lie as long as it is about Those Dirty Immigrants, won't you?

You all have a point, a bit of an overreaction on my part, mea culpa. But our paper routes and lemonade stands were not to support our parents, who sent us out into the world to make money. I encouraged my kids to earn money, that was the vehicle. I did not wait for them to bring me their earned money. I should at least get a Bminus for bringing this immigrant practice to the fore!!!!

Didn't you teach your kids to share what they had with those less fortunate? No, I guess you didn't.

I worked in the family business as a kid. Never occurred to me that I should have demanded to keep all the money I was paid by the customers.

A peculiar arrangement. Other than teaching a child to be charitable on Sunday, I wonder what you are saying, with regard to sharing the proceeds that they gain from their lemonade, stand, after expenses. That is a profit. Are you saying to teach your children to be charitable, which we all do, rendering your post meaningless, or are you saying that my child should have handed money to children around them that did not make any money that day. For whatever reason. I’m just asking not meaning to argue.

so that I do not leave you confused with my principles, one works , one is charitable, let’s say 10% on Sunday, and one takes their profit and invests it in one way or another in their future and the future of their own family. It seems that you are saying to limit the profit of the child so that they can never get ahead by investing in three lemonade stands.

What the hell are you talking about? If my folks needed money and I had a lemonade stand when I was ten OF COURSE I would have given all of any money I made to mom and pop. What the FUK is wrong with you anyway? Like that is forbidden or some such rot?

Or put another way, your folks would have Made You have a lemonade stand to earn money for the family. That is What the immigrants are doing. And you may retort that your dad would not have done that? Well, we are writing about immigrants, Sonhouse. Non-citizen immigrants. Not you. This is the USA, not Yemen. Parents take care of their young here, like your folks did.
Exactly.
But be patient… The immigrants will prevail, and change our country to their country, and the street peddlers will be everywhere, like they are in Europe and the East. Pick pocketing 8-yr olds, even in Spain. Out of my wife’s pocket book..

Obviously "family" means something to you that is different to how the rest of us see it. If all Americans are as greedy and self-obsessed and hateful as you are then your country deserves the world's disgust. But I'm sure they're not, they can't be.

Hey IDIOT, if you didn't know already, immigrants are already here. What fukking planet do you come from anyway? Try going to Queens in NYC, EIGHT HUNDRED LANGUAGES SPOKEN THERE. Your head is screwed on backwards with your ear welded to Trumps lips, you can ONLY speak what he pukes to you which you RE puke like a nice tame congregation member unable to think for yourself.
You go further out in right field day by day and I would not be surprised to find you arrested for shooting a crowd of immigrants at an asylum line.
