The people you describe aren't, per se 'poor', they are retarded, so Mr Scythe's venom is doubly ironic.

I, too, am poor, but the detritus you describe in your post need to be drug on a chain behind a pickup.

Though somewhat trite, I always do enjoy the 'rug beating' imagery, though. The sound of a well delivered bat across some miscreants back really does resemble the sound gramma made when she whupped on those rugs, many yons ago.

I am nothing, if not sentimental.

Heh. You are a sentimental bastard;-)

Both of you, I mean. Both bastards. Both sentimental. In good aspects.

I know both of my parents, still extant. I think the word you are grasping for, as regards myself, is 'asshole'.

I wear that appellation proudly. A badge of honor, hard won.

If he's so freakin' poor how is he on the internet?

You know what I hate most about the poor? The fact that they're so fucking touching!

It's getting so can't even kill a hobo anymore....

The have nots will always envy the haves.

I bet he schlepps down to the public library to vent his spleen.

Using the computers that the haves's taxes pay for.

Oh my.

*snicker*

Alli, I shall have to deliver you a good paddling, I see. You minx.

As to my internet access, it is easy. I deprive my children of milk. They'll grow new teeth, anyway.

Well, that, and people PAY me to write. That always helps.

I only go to the public library to drop heavy books on the faces of sleeping hobos. In a stack of three or four. The books, not the hobos.

Fuck, I hate poor people.

These people you describe can't be very poor if they can afford to pay their phone bill. In this country poor only means that about 90 percent or so have more material wealth and income than the bottom 10 percent. Damn few are poor.

Poor is a state of mind, rather than a state of wallet, methinks. I joke about being poor, because I'm broke, but I never feel poor.

I am immensely rich and hugely blessed in so many ways, including having many wonderful kids, and a huge cock.

Not that those two things go together.

Of course.

I'm willing to bet money that less than 1 in 100 poor-homeless-whatever dregs of society got that way by bad luck. There are only three things necessary to avoid poverty in this country.

1. Graduate from High School.
2. Do not have babies until after you are married.
3. Do not get married until you are over 21.

Not difficult and not rocket science. If you choose to do other than this and become poverty stricken and homeless,(That means "poor" to you Liberal Democrats.) it's your own doing, and your own problem. I had no say in it and deeply resent having my hard earned money (I actually EARN my living by working at a skilled trade,) extorted at the point of a gun (IE by the government,) to support your piss poor life choices, and destructive lifestyles.

I've been po.

In college, I was lucky if I had enough in my bank account at the end of the month to cover the service fee. (Eating was a luxury.)

But I DID have a checking account. And I've never paid a phone bill in person.

Adopting such a lifestyle indefinitely is a decision.

Yeah, I've been so broke I couldn't pay attention and I've caught a bus to work because my car was broke and I didn't have the money to fix it. But I went to work anyway and got there on time and didn't bitch about it.

Concur that damn few of the homeless so called poor are just down on their luck. They are in the situation they are in because of past decisions they have made such as dropping out of school, poor work records, and most of all substance abuse. Its tough to hold down a full time job while drunk and/or drugged up.

Many poor are homeless... and many homeless are mentally ill.

Like the original poster?

I want to mud rassle with Karma. What does she look like?

Nah, Dash I don't think you want to wrastle with Karma, she's a real bitch. And I'm not just saying that cuz I'm a catty female. ;)

I don't know, Alli, I wrestle with Karma every day, she kicks my ass. That's why I am broke, but not poor. She is a mean bitch who cheats every match.

I will get that slut tommorrow; too late for today, she dropped me with a pile driver at 6:45 am.

They're just paying in person - IN CASH - so that they don't have to declare their income and lose their federal/state assistance. Or, they don't have a social security # becuase they're illegal. People paying in person aren't necessarily poor - what they are is off the grid. Checking accounts are freakin FREE these days.

So - if they inconvenience you, I say piss on 'em. Posers.

All this business about po' folks aside, some people - some people - do not appear to understand the Velocimind, or fully appreciate the finely honed Velocisense o' Humor.

People like Scythe. Mistuh High and Self-Righteous his ownself.

Fuck'm. Fuckm, say I.

I followed those rules, and I'm still poor! Or at least poor in the suburban sense (medium income offset by high overhead). So where did I go wrong?
