If someone was a capable individual and just fell down on their luck, I'd help them out. But if someone was unable/unwilling to help themself and needed constant support, you're only delaying the inevitable.

you misunderstand
fundamental human rights are an absolute, and they exist whether or not society or government grants them.

these basic human rights have been suppressed in many ways by many different means, china is just a current example of flawed government . why do you think china is so criticized?

the us is not innocent either

i think i understand ok...

if you were to construct a system where everyone had just enough children to replace the population and everybody worked together for the common good then you would have a fully sustainable ecology that would have a different frame of reference, and a different view of 'inalienable rights'... if u r going to have a 'society', then u get a mess... that's the nature of people - they are hugely varied...

i worked at a gm assembly plant for a number of years... this changed my viewpoint about 'everybody can go further'... there are a lot of folks in our mishmosh that need simple jobs to go with their simple minds to give them the ability to lead simple lives... american capitalism does not support this natively, it seems that u need government (a necessary evil if u want to have a society) to step in a bit, since capitalism has a bad habit of killing itself long term for short term gains...

You have no proof for any of your generalizations.

You have no solutions to your problem.

There is no acceptable "solution" to this problem. The only logical solutions are morally unacceptable in our current society.

I understand that some people will need help, and the real issue is where you are willing to draw the line. For me, I don't mind supporting those that honestly need help and are trying their hardest to make ends meet. However, I am completely against those that leech off the system and refuse to hold a steady job, blow their income on frivolous things, and have multiple children that they are not able to financially support. Those leeches should be cut off and forced to fend for themselves.

I was thinking how the country seems to be getting dumber each year. It seems that states are looking for more and more ways to extract money from people because the states are spending more than they're bringing in. I was wondering why we seem to be getting more inefficient and I thought about a pretty basic fact: the poor reproduce at a much faster rate than the wealthy.

While people on this board are probably wealthier (or will be wealthier) than the general population, there are masses of complete degenerates that are feeding and breeding at a fast pace. Their kids will inherit the same poor genes and habits that their parents have, and they'll most likely need more assistance than the children of wealthier parents.

What can be done about this problem? It's not politically correct to suggest neutering women that are on welfare tand have 6 kids, but somewhere you have to make the decision that it's just not worth the future hassle of having to deal with this problem.

Another way to look at it is this: a country's productivity leads to its prosperity, and that prosperity is at stake when you have a system that forces the breadwinners to feed the deadbeats and degenerates who either refuse or are too stupid to support themselves. And yet those people are allowed to continue breeding, and the smaller number of offspring of the breadwinners will inevitably have to provide for the larger number of offspring of the poor. This puts a drag on the productivity of the country as whole. A side effect of our current system is that it lets the genes of the unwilling/unable spread at a faster rate than the willing/able, essentially pissing in our gene pool.

And you people call me elitist? :confused:

Sink or swim, but don't try to climb aboard my raft and act as dead weight while I paddle for shore.

Have proof or making more generalizations?

You seem to ask for proof for common sense ideas. If you stated that swallowing a Western Digital hard drive was bad for your health and I called BS and asked for proof, does that make your statement untrue if you're unable to find a link that directly states it?

People instinctively try to avoid mating with others with bad genes. Usually what people find attractive are indicators fo good genes, such as clean skin, symmetry of ones body, intelligence, etc. If someone came across someone who has really bad skin, obvious physical deformities, low intelligence, etc, they'd tend to think they're unhealthy and undesirable.

Modern society has deemed it politically correct to cover up those undesirable qualities and as a result more bad genes are making it into the gene pool.

We are doing ourselves a disservice in the long run by helping the weak survive. We're actively working against natural selection.

OP is saying common sense does not need proof. I don't think you are capable of understanding what he's saying and neither are some of the posters. It's funny that some of you are attacking his ability to convey. I think he does it quite well compared to your emotional outbursts.

Solution is quite simple. Segregation. It worked well before. It was abolished because of looney lefties like yourself. It worked well for South Africa. There was no crime. Everyone lived in harmony. But now, what do you have? a cesspool of the civilized and uncivilized, crime, corruption. And it's going to get worse and worse with every single day passing.

Anyone with a bleeding heart for the poor and the uncivilized should be required to live in the ghetto and help them and see how long you would last without a gang of thugs gang raping you and your SO. That's right. Don't just hide behind the internet and speak from the comfort of home in a good neighborhood about the reasons why the poor and the oppressed are the way they are.

Talk the talk. Walk the walk. Do it! Sacrifice yourself for the poor and the oppressed. If you do it, then I'll have respect for you, not as a hypocrite.

I don't think you have the guts to do it.

sorry, i was trying to be light and have a sense of humour. it's one of my many flaws - making light of serious situations a little too often. call it a coping mechanism if you wish, or perhaps a "poking" mechanism. i do it to try to get inside people's heads. continue on with serious thread, serious cat approves. no offense kind sir but it does seem like you are on a high horse through this entire lameass thread. maybe once we all bow to your vision and ideals, you'll finally shut the fuck up.

Helping the poor is not giving out power.

Of course I want the most qualified individuals to be in power. Unfortunately, we haven't had that in at least the last 7 years. :D:p

You're a complete idiot. South Africa was segregated by race not by economic level

Why do you live in the US?

The OP's original post generalized all poor people not just the one's that leech off the system. Do you have poor reading comprehension?

What are you talking about? I volunteer, work with the homeless and do a lot more to help other's than you ever will b/c I have compassion for others and want to make this a better place. I also live in Cambridge, MA which has the highest percentage of subsidized housing of any city in the country. Actually, stats have shown that crime has decreased over the last 5 years. So, what the fuck are you talking about?

Why don't you walk the walk and not just create an account to just post in this single thread, troll?

Segregation? GTFO.

Stop talking about common sense if you have no proof to back it up as common sense.

When I mean elite, I mean those that are most qualified. Money itself doesn't make someone elite in my opinion. Paris Hilton is certainly not elite.

An idiot would be someone keeps on giving himself up for the homeless and the oppressed to be ravaged your time only to be reciprocated with unkindness. Maybe, you're not a complete idiot because some homeless are actually appreciative of your efforts. So tell me are there any that really appreciate your volunteering or do they just call you a dumb "cracka"?

If you had any true compassion and were a good person, you would not have blown up like you just did. A true compassionate person knows not to curse, is calm and collected.

Like I said, you don't have the guts to live amongst these people. Volunteering part time is not the same as living amonst them 24/7.

Overall, crime rate has increased abruptly last 30-40 years since the civil rights movement. I think even you know that.

Lastly, the poor people in this country are almost always defined as the blacks. You can thank your mainsteam media for that.

In conclusion, you lack the intellectual depth to understand what I said that they're all inter-related. Real life is more complicated than a simple 1+1=2. Politics and agendas come into play and unfortunately for most people they cannot imagine evils behind them nor do they want to know. Life is simpler not knowing, and I guess this includes you.

Well, it's really useless to talk to a racist troll.

And yes, when I volunteer at the homeless shelter, they are all very thankful.

Again, reading comprehension for the loss. I mentioned that not only do I volunteer but I live in the city with the highest % of subsidized housing. I'm not afraid to get mugged/raped/etc. Again, you're wrong.

Maybe, you need to stop reading the paper and watching the news. The real world isn't that scary.

Oh and mods, can you check to see rhky1234 = 91TTZ? They both communicate in the same manner. If they are the same, please ban.

I'm not the other poster, nor do I know them. We don't communicate in the same manner, either. You're sounding desperate at this point.

Since you don't like someone's message you want to see them banned even though they aren't breaking any forum rules. Lame.
