Did you just say you're stupid?Ima gonna fill you and Jbeuk on on sumptin;
I am poor.
I have has a land lord try to up my rent. When we were standing outside the court house he started to mumble his apologies and that after further research, blah blah blah. I took him to task, got a better apartment for the same rent.
Land lords (some) will out the screws to pussies, you turn the screws on them they flop like a school yard bully.
and no, I didn't have a lawyer.
I'm poor too. I don't count on the courts or state institutions to go to bat for me. I don't think it's worth the effort. I can expend that energy in a much more productive manner; i.e., parenting my children, focusing on being a decent person and doing the right thing. If I have a landlord try to up my rent w/out warning then I move.
Poor people do get the shaft but let me tell you something about poor people (and this is a subject I know inside and out)...they are poor because of bad choices and a lack of interest in their economic status; or they are poor because they're just stupid. The point is, people will shit on you when you're poor (and a poor single woman, omg, the schools shit on you, the courts shit on you, even the cops shit on you). But we ALL have the opportunity in this country to dig our way up into a different state of being. It's just about coming to terms with what needs to be done and what you are willing to change or sacrifice in order to get it done.
I'm inclined to agree- you are pretty stupid. Not everyone is poor because they're stupid or they did anything wrong- but that is a great thing to tell yourself so you feel better about those who starve or labour in the world's sweatshops or find that every time they apply for a job, the fact they they remain unemployed i held against them. Nor does it address those who are denied the opportunity to do right and improve their condition when they to change themselves or get beyond whatever has happened in the past.
As I said, I don't know why I would bother to debate with people who have already admitted they have some fairly major issues.
P.S. I have never been homeless...however, you have. So why don't you tell me how it's everyone else's fault again?
*denied the opportunity*....lol..what a load of crap. Who denied you what opportunity, loser?
