I hate poor people

I always advocate helping the poor with things like free education, free or subsidized birth control, free abortions, free drug counseling, etc. It's nice to help these people, but at the same time I really hate these bastards. I live somewhat close to the ghetto and my bus passes through the ghetto on the way to work and on the way home. They fit every stereotype imaginable. Scruffy looking? Yes. Sideways hat with shoes that don't fit properly? Check. That crazy look like they could kill someone at any moment? Check.

It seems like the only reason I want to help these people is so they leave me the hell alone. Free abortions so they don't pass on their defective genes, free education so the smarter ones have a chance to escape the ghetto, and drug counseling so something something.

How do you feel about poor people?
1 - don't help them
2 - help them so they don't make my life worse
3 - help them because you genuinely want to help them

You should report the findings of this thread to my social experiment.

My social worker says I'm doing very well. I should be able to wear proper fitting clothes and stand up straight if I keep trying.

I was poor once. Then I came to ATOT and now I clear 7-figures, drive my Ferrari and ride people's asses in the passing lane and get pissed at them, and have no less than THREE size 0 supermodels who don't have pointy elbows draped across my arms at any given time.

Thanks ATOT! :thumbsup:

I support helping poor people who genuinely make efforts on their own to better themselves, or fix their mistakes. Poor people who buy cigarettes, ever, or alcohol, or video games, or new tv's, or cars, deserve to have it all take away from them.

I don't hate poor people.

I hate poor people who think they are entitled to free money and other handouts because they are poor.

I especially hate those same poor people who are not appreciative of the help they get.

I donate to a program that helps the working poor. Have a paycheck? Then you can get your family fed when the money runs out at the end of the month. It seems like the ideal way to help people that the system is keeping down (by not paying a living wage) and NOT helping those who just want to mooch (ie those who won't work for a living). Well, it does provide showers and phones for the homeless so they can go on interviews, but at least that is helping them get back to work rather than just giving them free stuff.

I'd like to volunteer too, but for now the timing is a bit akward. It is hard to have a meal prepared for 200 people at 5:30 pm during the week when I have a job myself and have to work until 5 pm. But, I'll donate enough each month to feed that many people a meal.

I guess the only way you can pass off "being scared shitless" of the poor you run into as cool, is being racist about it. Interesting coping mechanism.

They may be poor for the rest of their lives, but at least they aren't cowards. Masking hate speech and fear as entertainment ("wha? wha ah say?!"). Just admit it.

Or, maybe go to some forums where you don't have to pretend you aren't scared out of your mind and can spew your fear and hate freely.

Why waste energy and efforts on pretending you aren't afraid??

Define poor.

I have seen people who live in $500,000 houses, and they could not pay their $75 cable tv and internet bill.

I tell them that they'll have more life satisfaction and self-worth if they get a job. I also disdain them publicly so they'll pull themselves out of the gutter just for the opportunity to show me they can. What I don't do to help them is give them stuff.

Sounds like a good cause. You're a good man :thumbsup:

Yes, I'm a coward for trying to follow the law and be a good citizen. I should be a rebel like those poor people! When I break the law and do dumb shit like drink alcohol in public, I should refuse to pay the ticket then bitch about how the "police are corrupt" (because following written laws means you are a crooked cop ya know!)

Hey, OP, if there weren't any poor ghetto people in this world then YOU would be all alone desperately clinging to the bottom rung of society's social ladder. Ever think about that?

LOL. Corn.

Let me point out to you that most of that corn is either WHITE or YELLOW, and it's all wrapped up in the GREEN stuff. That's right!

Now, look down. What do you see? That's right, it's the dirt! That dirt is BLACK and BROWN, and the YELLOW and WHITE corn is rising up and standing on the BLACK and the BROWN, and the YELLOW and the WHITE all wrapped up in the GREEN stuff!


:D


Yeah, you're gonna tell me that there's that decorative TOKEN corn that they pull out at Thanksgiving; that stuff that's all sorts of colors. But that's exactly it, right? TOKEN COLORED CORN.

:D :D :D

You are a coward for masking your true message.

You have the freedom of speech. Go on and tell them how you think and feel.

Maybe start a group or something to spread your message. Get people to wake up and do with "them" what you think should be done.

I am sure tons of members on these forums will show up in public to support your cause and message.
