heatseeker - thank you for pointing out the obvious. At least reading these arrogant freaks reminds me of why I am a left wing populist. The RWA's don't like me because I think "Liberty and Justice for ALL" is more important than Wealth for the FEW.

Please I live outside Detroit. We don't have people dieing in the street here. WEll except when a thug shoots you for $10.

I say if thats the case the person needs to look at how terrible his/her parents were.

Also if you have no support please stop popping out babies.

Where is the justice for the rich person that has to pay for people that don't want to work and scam the system. Where is thier justice?


Live however you want to. I don't care just don't take my money for your lifestyle. Its just that simple.

Justice is not taking from some and giving it to someone else.

What part of liberty and justice, entitles you to someone elses free labor, or their wealth?

I consider that wealth to be stolen from other people so it is not a sin to force the theives to share.

If I remember correctly you have also said in another forum that you have a good idea for a business that requires web design skills, but haven't managed to make the effort to acquire those skills in the eight years you've had the idea.

Developing simple web sites is something that can be learned with freely available material and using free computers at your public library. You are constantly posting that you make minimum wage and have almost nothing (and above post is just another derivation) yet appear unwilling to stretch a little to improve your lot.

I seem to recall that in the '90s when General Assistance ended, a lot of people ended up homeless and a few froze to death in abandoned houses, and something like 17 percent were employed a year later.

One isnt successful simply because they chose to go to college, (as the woman in the story did), and going to college isnt "lucky".

You dont need to make a lot of money in order to stop being a leach upon society.
love this post.
