of course gay people are citizens.i am for gays getting married.i could care less.

as for the laws changing any time soon,you are sorely mistaken my friend.

Why is me stating the fact that famine and genocide in Africa are happening tantamount to blaming those things on America? I guess you must blame your newspaper for everything you read in it.

Finnaly someone at least aknowleges what is happening!! It;s not only the United States that is IGNORING the death and suffering in so many other countries, but the entire industrialized world.

bhallg2k, I know everyone will hate me for this, but... Everyone who is "under the poverty line", is there because of thier own damn fault. You show me a 30+ year old guy making minimun wage and I will show you a LOSER. I dont want to hear sob stories of how the poor family cant support thier kids, becasue it's the damn parent's fault, not society's! The fact is there are ALOT of lazy fuckers out there, that think anyone else who is actaully working for money should owe them something. Well, friends, this is the beggining of communism. Why should people that put forth effort have to support a bunch of lazy deadbeats?

Another thing, anyone who works "full time under the poverty line", makes enough for just them to live. Trust me, I did it for 2 years. The equation changes a little when these deadbeat losers have kids, like everyone knows they shouldn't. So the lesson is... don't have kids if you can't afford it.

The final lesson is: Don't be stupid and you won't be poor!

So...what you're saying is that some of the estimated 25,000 active-duty U.S. soldiers who qualify for food stamps are losers?

(Statistical Source: DoD report from 1999 [most recent one available] on the financial condition of the armed forces, which also found that 40 percent of lower-ranking soldiers face "substantial financial difficulties.")

Hmm, this gross mischaracterization thing could work for me. Seems to work for the right.

[Hydrizzle]

Soldiers don't really make that much--when they have a bunch of kids draining thier funds. That's my whole point--so many people have kids when they can't afford it. Yes, apparently these 25,000 soldiers that are on the food stamp program are stupid. THe army pays you pretty gtood, and you get to save money the whole time while you are in the military; I have friends who are in the military, who have no kids, no bills, no wife, etc... and they will have enough money when they get out to buy a house, a car, and have some skills to get a good job. Apparently these soldiers on food stamps had a wife and kids draining thier funds while in the Army. Just proves my point that you should not have kids unless you ALREADY own a house and have some amount of finantial securtiy. People don't seem to care that they are bringing another human life into poverty. That makes them stupid.

When first read what you were saying, Hydrizzle, I thought you were just being REALLY unsensitive... But after reading it again, I kinda agree.. People SHOULDN'T have children if they can't afford to raise them. Alot (not all, but alot) of people who are relatively poor are poor because of things theyve done in the past.. Now, I know there are alot of poor areas all over the world, and im not talkin about those, im just talkin about people who always bitch about not being able to find work, people who bitch about not being able to raise their kids so would the welfare department please help them, etc, etc, etc... Its not that i dont feel sympathy or compassion towards these people, its just that I agree with Hydrizzle when he says that they are not completely blaimless

[Hydrizzle]

Well, you could say I'm a little unsensitive to the plight of poor people in America, because of my belief that if they didn't want to be poor, they could pull themselves up by thier bootstraps and work at making more money. Sure I feel sympathy and compassion for thier kids, who did not askto be born into poverty, but I have nothing but disdain for people that have 6 kids, living in a trailer or apartment, and have to go on welfare because they don't know what a condom is.

[Edgar]

Whatever Scrooge. I can understand bein pissed off at all those idiots having 6 kids, but some people are just plain incapable of pulling them selves out of debt or making enough money to stay out of debt in the first place. You are one person i would love to see walk two miles in the shoes of a bum.

[Hydrizzle]

I would walk more than 2 miles and drag myself out of myt alchoholic, drug-induced stupor, and go get a job! Save some money up (none spent on booze or drugs), and eventually get a place. All bums could do that, but they don't, for the excact reason that they are bums. They are called bums, hobos, tramps, miscreants and other negative terms for a reason.

[Edgar]

Ok, but it has to be a retarded, schizophrenic, Alchoholic bum. =P We'll see how well you do. The ghosts of christmas are comin' to your house tonight! =)

[Hydrizzle]

ratarded AND schitzo, AND alchoholic?!!? Ok edgar that may be too much, those bums should just go in the sewer and never come out lol.
