I tend strongly toward staying away from them, as do most people with the means to do so. I will probably begin at some point working in soup kitchens or similar, though, as many are decent people who need some help.

BTW, most charities will say it's not time they need, it's money. If you do want to help out the poor and can throw money at them a typical food type place is much going to prefer $100 to a few hours of your time.

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

Karma is a bitch by the way

When your own life is worth nothing, all you have left to show is stuff like gold teeth and bling.

You can't help what your born into ghetto or middle America Try to view the world from their perspective once . Hate is a powerful word . I beleive you meant dislike. Yes we have had in the past programs to help those who are born to such a life escape it . But we have found that it does little in helping them escape that which they were born into . Now we can't afford to keep helping them . Also helping the down and out based on your tax dollars does nothing to help us as far as charity goes . Forced charity is more evil than no charity at all , If charity comes from the heart with no strings . Now you have done good. But to be charitable to a healthy person who doesn't help themselves is also evil. It won't fix the problem .

I have a family 3 blocks away that is as poor as poor gets period . 2 weeks ago their sewer plugged up . Last week it was still plugged . I got angry with them because they still bought their drugs and booze . But I did give them $80 to get plimmer and roto router . They spent it ondrugs and booze sewage still plugged . By giving them the money I hurt them and it caused me to sin , Because I should have known better . Damned if you don't damned if you do. This world sucks.

I believe many above that think otherwise would fall into that 'poor' class.

How do you know so much about this family? If they are doing drugs why not turn them in?

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??

I find this post racist since you automatically equated poor to some race, or all races other than white.

Then you must love conservative business policies that assure a permanent upper class that funds Republican campaigns and thousands of pages of tax loop holes.


time to change the water in your hooka. Next time you need a job be sure to ask that homeless PBF on the street for a job. See how far you get.

yes..lets get rid of the "loop holes". We can start with the home mortgage deduction and dependent deduction. Then we can move on to free public education and all the rest.

Because reducing the demand for housing is SMART. And makng it painful to have kids would mean a contraction in children and we wouldnt be able to support the society. Again, SMART. P&N is full of the best ideas.

My Grandpa on my Mom's side was a truck driver and he had 8 kids with my Grandma.

They were poor as fuck but my Grandpa actually worked hard for a living and they never ended up taking any money from the government. He's one of the kindest and most generous people I know and I'd be happy to grow up to be half the man he is.

There's nothing wrong with poor people. There's something wrong with poor people using their poverty as an excuse to act like animals.

that's pre globalization thinking. Chasing jobs is now global. The jobs will show up where labor and regulation is cheapest. That's not the US. Your "children" will have to get used to the idea that their future jobs will be outside of the US. It's pointless to subsidize spawn that either ends up in jail or leaves the country to get employed. Either way your looking at contraction. Are you a prison guard??

LOL, idiots like Jstorm talk bad about the Tea Party because they criticize government spending while they use Medicare and SS. Then he comes along and says "Close the loopholes! Well except for my loopholes, those ones are OK."

JStorm and the idiots like him are so stupid and blind that they have no idea they're almost identical to Republicans.

When did I say close loopholes? Government uses taxes to incentive behavior. Repugs have broken that system down via massive tax cuts and lop sides loopholes.

Hur durr lets go to war hurr derr lets give tax cuts her dur lets create massive housing finance bubble hurr durr. Hurr durr look at obama spending money omg :mad:
