Anytime you have a 'lack of education' its do to laziness. All the accumulated knowledge of man is at our fingertips(via the web) leaving no excuses. Anyone willing to put in the effort, can learn just about anything on their own.
Motivation is all it takes.
Just to give it perspective, a homeless man in NYC learned to code on his on and is nearly finished writing his first app
I'll edit with a link later.The point being laziness/complacency is rampant, and needs to be acknowledged.
There is also a lot of absolute bullshyt on the internet too. Only 32% of our population believes in evolutionAnytime you have a 'lack of education' its do to laziness.

I'm more concerned with the complete lack of science education (and critical thinking) than some homeless man teaching himself how to program. I still don't think it's about laziness. It's about people being shrouded by ideologies (religions, politics) that interfere with their search for a logical conclusion. Such as, "I'm a republican, I have to be against universal healthcare!" despite the fact that it appears to be the best healthcare model we could adopt in terms of costs and extending average lifespans. Also, our education system is fukking GARBAGEEEEEEEEEEEEE

you sure you want to use this as an example?http://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-2436371/Homeless-man-builds-app-month-code-training.html
First announced on Medium last month by software developer Patrick McConlogue, 23, ‘Finding The Unjustly Homeless and Teaching Them to Code’ came to him after seeing the homeless man, who goes only by Leo, on his way to work every day.
The original proposal was this: Mr McConlogue offered the homeless man two choices - $100 or a free laptop, wireless hotspot, coding books and daily coding lessons. Leo took opportunity over cash.
Yeah, lets cut govt. assistance to the poor brehs.

I'm sure.The homeless is an extreme and fringe case, I was using him to set the bar really low most people in "poverty"(so defined) have access to the web already, and food/shelter/income via govt. assistance.
I'm actually looking forward to the arguments as to why motivated individuals cant learn a skill...and who is honestly willing to make that claim

I don't think that's the issue. There are plenty of skilled people who are out of work through no fault of their own. It's also stretch to imply that anyone currently not working can attain the levels of knowledge necessary to find work in nearly any field solely through the magic of the internet.

'll look for a percentage breakdown of the unemployed... you could be right.
sounds like a well thought out counter argument, could you expand on it a bit?

"anytime you have a lack of education, its due to laziness"
what nigguh??
Whether its individual adult complacency, or lazy parents during grade level schooling"anytime you have a lack of education, its due to laziness"
Want to take it further, you can point at a lazy community unwillingly to mobilize and address the issues as a group.
I'm speaking specifically about unskilled adults who like to pretend there is nothing they can do because of institutional barriers.
What part specifically do you think is untrue?
