Like Slavery, Apartheid and Racism, poverty is not natural. It is man-made and i

For the first time in history, this country’s poor people are fat, have cell phones, big screen TVs, air conditioning, free education and the freedom to be rich.

If you don’t have intact family to raise you, you’re at a disadvantage no matter what the guberment gives you.

When you live in a place like America, where there's plenty of good jobs for those willing to work and study hard, poverty is man-made. It's made by those who are too lazy to get off there asses and work hard.

HVAC technicians, plumbers, electricians, carpenters, nurses, and caregivers are needed in droves. And that's just a miniscule sample of what's available. Get of your ass, get a little bit of ambition, be willing to work hard and be the best you can be at your job, make good choices in life, and at the very least, you'll be part of the middle-class.

Lol @Icey what % of those people selling their bodies in America are doing so to avoid starvation? And what prices are they charging?

If someones charging $100 an hour or more its obviously not about avoiding poverty but either to buy drugs, or to buy some sort of luxury goods. You can find a place to rent for $1000 a month, and it goes even cheaper if you have roommates or someone else who works to share a place with.

So, if you can find a place to rent for $1000 a month, that’s something even someone making $12 an hour can afford.

If theyre selling their bodies in the US, theyre here illegally to make money or want something beyond basic food and shelter.

Now a place like Colombia you would be more correct in people selling bodies to avoid starvation

@CJKent_band racism is actually pretty natural. Its essentially tribalism, which was natural for much of human history. It also has nothing to do with what the majority or minority race is. Even now probably 20-60%+ of every race is racist

Without capitalism, you clowns wouldn't have the internet to bitch about it.<<

Best point made Puddy wins this thread by a landslide.

@Icey what do you include under migrant rights. The right to free housing, free benefits? And lol, so you openly admit youre okay with anonymous voting? So you can do what you do online and submit a bunch of fake votes

Community centered policing depends what you want out of it. What should be done to robbers?

America was founded to provide individual liberty and stop unjust taxation. Not to redistribute wealth to poor people. Sorry. If you don’t like that lump it.

^it wasn’t really founded on slavery. Thats a weird sort of logic to say that slavery existed and was immoral therefore the whole country was founded on it

The race class gender roles you refer to, literally involve calculating and speculating which race or gender faced the most hardships (specifically in the last 100-200 years), and using it to argue for reparations or special privileges for those races or classes

^ you do realize that our trolls have vivid dreams and active fantasy lives. I’m no psychiatrist and it’s obvious to me. I’m not sure that these losers are capable of living on their own.

Lol @icey you just copy pasted the same word salad instead of addressing the others points

Actually "poverty" is indeed natural. In nature, the smartest and strongest animals thrive and breed while the weakest and dumbest go without.
. The difference though is that, in nature, the weaker and dumber animals often die. Here in the U.S. and in many other countries, we redistribute a certain amount of wealth earned by the productive behavior of the smarter and stronger animals to the weaker and dumber ones. Not only to prevent them from dying, but to give their children the opportunity to be better than their parents.
