you're way too emotional. it's good to think sometimes.
wrong, but it's obvious you no what it means to be judgemental.

as you know what it means to be a ass.
again you're clueless and obviously don't have much upstairs.
you dispute that fact that people live this way in TX?
No it's called knowing what I'm talking about.
who are these people that you're talking about?
you're poor, were poor?
people living in poverty
who are these people?
we're going in circles here
son of a single mother who had a 10th grade education growing up in brooklyn, NY. Financially poor, very, but had everything else anyone could ever want.
some don't have that good even.
What I mean is are they single mothers, illegal immigrants, high school drop outs, etc... ?
And when I mean poor I just talking financial, because some of those poor people have more than some financially rich people will ever have.
some had it a lot worse, but now have much more than everyone on this website combined.
Poor is not a disease.
all of the above plus battered women, legal residents, migrant workers, vietnam vets, native americans, and just plain old people down on their luck.
I forgot the elderly.
I have little sympathy for the men, but we'll have to talk more later. Got to get back to work.
Just because someone speaks truth doesn't automatically make them emotional. That's just a scapegoat thing to say because you don't know what you are talking about. It's good for you to think or really educate yourself on the matter.
And who are you to say I am too emotional? What is too emotional really mean? We are talking about poor ppl, some of them out in this cold weather tonight while you have a home to go to. The average age of a homeless person is 9. Look it up with our city stats.
The problem is, some ppl just don't get emotional enough over this issue. That's the truth. Now there is "emotional" for you. It's called passion. Some ppl actually have it.
That article was perhaps the most re ed writing I have ever read. He could have saved a lot of time by saying if you don't want to be poor -- have money. That would have made more sense and saved a lot of pointless comments.
Becuase it's just is. Being Poor™ is something beyond explanation, there is no cause, you just have to have good intentions and bad luck. How the are you going to tell me that i have to finish high school, get a job, and not have illegitimate kids? As far as i'm concerned high school is useless, getting a job is difficult with the man on your backside, and i can F*** whoever i want if i damn please. All i needs is my foodstamps and free bus pass. How dare you come here and tell me that frugality and hardwork minus nose candy is an honest life. That's racist. I know no better, everyone knows i'm doomed for failure because I'm Poor™, and BushLied™!
Wow, it's just like that. You poor, get money. Bada bing bada bang bada boom.
The article was just trying to articulate how virtually impossible it is to be poor if you just work hard and stay educated and out of trouble. You do those things, you get money. Poor people know this, but either have no faith in their abilities, or have no discipline in applying these rules. We need to stop acting like being poor is a condition like cancer inwhich one can do nothing about. Poverty is virtually non existant in our poor lower class who live in HUD homes. Many of The poor in this country happen to be obese at the same time. It's time somebody start taking the idea of en lement out of our lexicon, and start growing self reliance. THere are poor people out there who are helpless, but that is a small fraction. We can do with spending tax dollars on those who are truly unfortunate, but we can't just grow the burdened anymore. There is a vicous cycle with being poor and living in those wards. It hardly ever lifts anybody out of their condition and leaves people emotionally handicaped on reliance of others.

You don't know what you are talking about. Really, you don't. You speak from hate. You speak so much from hate, you seem to have some issues going on in your own head. I pray that you stop being so hateful. You speak and rant and hate about something you know nothing about. No, you do not know anything about poor ppl. Let's just end that right there, you do not know, or care to know or care to try and understand. You speak from hate, and ppl like you are really hurting the cause to help this situation.
Just pure hate. Your so angry. And yet, know nothing about the subject.
gtwon is right. Everyone who was in New Orleans by the time Katrina hit didn't graduate high school, had kids early and/or were criminals. It's that simple. Bad things happen to bad people.
Don't worry, I checked on snopes.com to make sure.
