re: #134 spikester

{and all you that upticked the remark}

I read your comment and what came to mind is NOBODY can be that fucking retarded
Have you ever been to a forgin country on anything other that spring brake. I’ve seen people in India that have been crippled, I mean arms and legs broken and healed crooked because they were to be the family beggar (hope of income, somebody had to do it) My guess is you have never slept on the street (unless it was to be the first in the door so you could get that hella cool shoot’m up game) never really been hungry. Go to Africa, Asia, South America I’ve taken that opportunity work with the uneducated in all these places and seen real poverty you twits.
At the risk of being ironic

HELP I’M SURROUNDED BY FUCKING MORONS

Okay. I’m going to do something that is probably karma negative, but here goes. I think spikester was correct.

First some basics. Beck is an idiot. If asked to slap his ass with both hands, he’d end up fisting his own farty flap. Second, spikester fucked up what was basically a decent observation with his last few lines.

Outside of that, I believe his post was, indeed, correct. We really don’t have a concept of what real-world poverty is like. What we have in this country is poverty relative to what we perceive to be a decent standard of living. For the long-term unemployed, it’s terrifying. No doubt. And with the sum total of wealth in this country, it is absurd that we are cutting off benefits to those who have supported this economy until it was gutted by a bunch of twidgets in the “wealth management” field.

I’m a believer in the Social Contract. We should feed the hungry, educate the population to compete in a global economy, house the homeless, heal the sick. Together. As one people.

But…

That’s hungry. That’s poverty. That’s poor.
