America has zero concept of actual poverty and misery.

I'm an introverted teen, nothing can match my misery!

There sure is a lot of Ovaltine hatred at TSM

Do you write poetry?

 

Because that'd probably cause a lot of misery to others.

I blame Kenny Banya, honestly.

They really should call it Roundtine.

From what I've read this thread has been badmouthing Kool-Aid. Well let me tell you something. When you're thirsty and only have 50 cents that shit will keep your thirst quenched for the next 2 days.

See, that's the problem with America. Instead of spending 50 cents on Kool-Aid, how about just drinking water and spending 50 cents on an apple?

 

...I fucking hate fucking Ovaltine fucking ads...

 

Oh, and Ovaltine's ads on RIGHT-WING RADIO make me want to scream. I REALLY hate the one with "Jimmy" (or is it Kenny?) telling his teacher about Ovaltine using the word "rich" 100 times...

Pits of black despair

Wait outside my door

I tell myself I'm not scared

But I'm afraid to go

Pits of darkness wait

To capture my life

But wait.

They already did.

I hate to be the bearer of bad news, but the UN has just declared that a crime against humanity.

...Which means you got money heading your way now...

Oh that's it. I'm gonna have to listen to my Morrissey records for an extra two hours to cheer myself up now.

 

Hey wait did you say UN handouts? I hope they send me the cash rather than hand it to me in person you know how those UN people like their rape

Bollocks to facts. This thread is about bad teenage poetry now.

Anyone else noticed that Intolerant Manga Aficianado/TSM Post Whore/Player Hater of the Year (2001-???) Czech Republic perpetually mocks big eyed anime girls, KJ Brackish, & CronoT in his avatar/subtitle/signature?

It's not the government's child to provide for every child...

That's the parent's job, like it or not.

 

And what if they don't?

I live in Mass. If its not between the months of October and March I can just pick an apple right off the fucking tree.

And what if they don't?

Then that's unfortunate. The gov't cannot --- and should not --- raise people's children.

 

And smitty --- try something resembling impartial sources. Half of those had to be jokes.

-=Mike

...And I actually tried to look up all of them and none of the "legit" ones were on-line. Strange, huh?

[Big Ol' Smitty 0]

What we have is the gov't constantly increasing the threshold for what it constitutes as "Starvation", "hunger", and "poverty".

 

Cite something here, if you would. The poverty line is based on required amts. of food. As costs of food rise, yes, the poverty line would increase, but I don't know that the amounts themselves have been frequently refined.

 

And smitty --- try something resembling impartial sources.

 

Yeah, the US DoA, GAO, food charities, & university studies--wild bias there. What do you want, a friggin study from the CATO Institute?

And I actually tried to look up all of them and none of the "legit" ones were on-line. Strange, huh?

 

Yeah, strange that not every research resource is available on fucking Google. If you're at a university, you may be able to look them up on an academic database.

 

Please. I don't need a lecture on credible sources from a guy who tried to use a right-wing think tank and the Argentinean Foundation for a Scientific Ecology as sources to support his argument on *global warming*.

 

Then that's unfortunate. The gov't cannot --- and should not --- raise people's children.

 

Then you have a couple other options:

 

A.) Rely on private charities which are under-funded, too localized, too mismatched and too ill-suited. Most charity donations are spent locally--rich communities have well funded charities and poor communities have poorly funded ones. They are also ill-prepared to meet w/ natural disasters or economic downturns.

 

B.) Let 'em rot.

Ah, you've missed the gov't constantly raising the economic level of what is poverty, eh? Do us a favor and avoid any kind of public service work.

Children's Defense Fund? A "progressive" Catholic group? "Hunger" advocates?

 

Yeah, NO possible bias there.

I'm not. And considering how fraudulent the first source you cited was, I'm not terribly inspired to run down to the university.

Unless you want the gov't to interfere in every aspect of the kid's life, then you don't really have a choice.

 

It's sad that any uneducated twat can bear children. It doesn't mean that the gov't should step in as the surrogate parent.

 

That kind of crap led to the massive problem with illegitimacy thanks to welfare programs.

China criticizing the US over human rights abuses is like that interview from "Hollywood Hogan: Why I Rule The World" where Hogan starts complaining about how Nash, Savage, and Goldberg all have big egos.

Cite? We adjust it for inflation, yes.

 

It seems to be rather constant to me.

Okay, ignore those and read all the others.

 

Please don't lecture me on credible sources, *Mister* AFSE. And sorry I don't post articles from serious sources like Rolling Stone.

I see you favor option B (or possibly eugenics?). We're just gonna have to disagree on this one.
