Mr. Rogers promoted the idea of free-loading and expecting success in life for no effort, . .
The person who posted this would have done far better in life following Mr. Rogers' attitudes toward life and people than his own misguided nonsense.
Give us a link that showed Mr. R taught "free-loading" and "no effort."
What stupidity to suggest such a thing.
But you could give us a link. If you can't, the doctrine of affirmative silence condemns your argument as nothing at all.
I posted that and firmly stand by it.
When some naive do-gooder, with the best intentions in the world, promotes the idea that one is "SPECIAL", simply because one was born, it leads to the mentality that one just be there, do nothing, earn nothing, expect everything, and wealth and fame will automatically will fall on one's lap.
Your conclusion has no rational basis. Nothing about promoting self-worth implies "do nothing". In fact it implies the opposite; the power of the individual to accomplish. Those so depressed that they "do nothing" or expect handouts are not exactly drowning in self-worth. They have the opposite problem.
I thought your part of the world was all about the potential of the individual over that of the state. Guess I misread.
