i can tell you being white how i look at white people on welfare or that are poor. i am disgusted by them and want nothing to do with them.

bayouking i have already offered my house by calling the red cross. i do not mind helping. they need it and i know that. but all i said is this is not the governments fault but the fault of the people themselves. bayouking i will never ever be poor. i will work two or three jobs if i have to. but poor i will never be. the military pays very well. people can always join there. with all the beneifts you get trust me my wife last year before she got out was bringing in 3000 per month. thats net. thats pretty good. and that is enlisted. my wife put herself through college. she grew up raised by only her mother because her father did nothging for them. they lived on the outskirts of brownsville brooklyn. bad neighborhood. her mother worked hard and so does my wife. she is going to school a second time right now for nursing.

What is the definition of a snob?

touche

Your views I hate but your actions is too commendable to believe. I don't know to dislike you are want to shake your hand. Keep on helping but shhh on your beliefs...

thats cool i will see you around the board bayou

"...but the fact that they are poor is their choice. not mine not yours but theirs" -are you serious??? I can't believe you can live with yourself in this country and make a statement like that. We are a capitalist society. Do you know what that means??? Not everyone can be rich... you have your rich, middle class and your poor its a part of our society. spkb25 you really are ignorant of Louisiana and society... take some economic courses and learn about your government.

i am in an economic class right now just started. euphoria we could argue all day and night. in the end we will be no closer to agreeing. you have your opinion and i disagree with you. thats it. i am not going to argue it anymore. we agree to disagree. if your ok with that i still like some of your other post. take care

And if every American reached the upper class scale , we would bring in a lower class labor scale to work .

The Chineese on the railroad .
The Mexicans in the field .

So that this debate could go on and on .........

This is the End- The Doors
 

It is quite amazing for me to read all of these posts and see the generalizations that are being thrown around. Everyone is blaming someone. The government, the people of the city, the mayor.
The only thing that gives me solace in times like these is that in a couple of thousand of years from now once a comet has crashed into the earth and ended this amusing little experiment called humanity there will be no sign that we ever existed.
Of all the creations of nature only humans destroy the planet and kill each other in anger and hate the way we do.
I hope all of you read this and understand that the planet can only be pushed by humans so far before it starts fighting back.

Oh, and by the way, Go Saints! Beat the crap out of the Panthers!
