Kindlekitten; I think it would be much easier to answer your posts if you didn't write answers within the quotes - please write outside them. But you stated (in orange):
"I couldn't tell you, I've never gotten anything for free. I don't understand welfare mentality, welfare families or anything remotely resembling that status."
Do you know that I have never gotten anything for free either even if I live in a welfare state? "welfare family"... eugh!

Have you every seen a person deliberately hurt another person?
Have you ever seen another person deliberately take advantage of another person?

Um, I have once
experienced someone deliberately hurt someone. I don't think you mean 'seeing'? It doesn't seem to cover all possibilities.
I can't say if I have
experienced someone taking advantage of someone. I am being quite honest, but I don't think so. I can't remember or I don't know.
I do have a neurological condition, which makes it more difficult for me to recognise other people's feelings - not that I don't know they are there - it's like they're less visible than to most people. It might have hindered me in this case. It might hinder me in understanding you. I am not sure.
BTW, the term 'scattershot' matches what I was searching for. One reason I didn't feel they worked as arguments were that some issues you mentioned are reality to me, some I didn't get at all, and some where 'so what'. Too scattershot to form the basis of a common idea in my mind - that is, I wasn't sure what you were saying with the examples.
