The argument here was that blacks and mexicans are being labeled as gangsters by the media, therefore live that kind of life style. Yet, 4 out of the 6 sources you mention have something to do with the media. Its like watching the weather on your 6 o'clock news and seeing rain the next 3 days then going onto the website and seeing sunshine and high of 90. Completely contradictory. Also, I am the fool for letting others tell me how I am gonna turn out? No. The fool is the one who listens to people who are paid to create controversy like that to get ratings. There is no coin flip needed robert I dont make nearly enough to give my son the kind of life I want him to live. So using your "coin" logic I should just give up and live off of welfare my whole life and never strive to achieve anything.

As far as the research goes:

http://www.in.gov/fssa/family/welfare/welfare.html
Look at that one for Indiana.
http://www.oas.samhsa.gov/2k2/GovAid/GovAid.htm
this one to show that while on goverment assitance Substance abuse rose.
http://www.house.gov/pence/rsc/gov_waste.shtml
and on that one you can download .pdf's showing Medicaid and Food Stamp Waste/Abuse.

I will look into those interesting articles.

Considering the amount of anger you hold towards minorities that abuse the system in particular this couple that is on to their 4th child I think there is a huge issue. YOu cannot judge them one way and then judge your situation differently. They obviously cannot afford the 4th child, similarly you cannot afford your first child. Neither of you can say you deserve it more then the other. We're talking about an unborn child here that has no voice for itself.

No where in my comment did I mention giving up and going on welfare. I personally don't agree with welfare systems as they are currently structured in either country. However I do reconize the need for a safety net for the poorest people to be protected. There are options out there for you beyond medicare. Further more the child just didnt come from nowhere. My Father said to me when I was 14 "If you're ready to have sex, be ready to deal with the responsibilities of having a child. Not until you're comfortable with responsibilty should you risk it." Interesting persepective I thought. This is all hind sight now for your situation but maybe you should judge everyone as you judge yourself; on the same level.

I wish you all the best with this wonderful child you now have. All your child needs is alot of love and good parenting. Material things may improve his lifestyle but are not required for him, focus on the basics. Be wise and hopefully you will not instill in him the anger you have towards miniroties. Teach your child to see beyond color. Hopefully when he grows up he can take advantage of the wonderful country you live in and all that it has to offer.
