Poweful photos of people living in poverty....

I looked at the photos. Maybe they'd lose some weight if they did some tidying and cleaning?

Poverty and lacking hope often go hand in hand.

People who have nothing to live for, don't care if they live in a mess, don't care if they're fat, don't care about much in life.

If you have a country that takes hope away from lots of people, what you get are ghettos, crime ridden areas, problems of all sorts.

You can take someone out of the ghetto who has no hope, stick them in the Army, give them something to live for, and they'll become a completely different person.
Are you aware that some urban gang members require military service before you can join their gang.

What is your point here?

That you think I said all people who join the military suddenly have a life long sense of purpose, and when they leave the military and go back to ghettos they're still having this sense of purpose?
I was a youth counselor for 15 years. I had extensive gang training. For Some All is not all it seams when an urban youth joins the military. He may join b/c he wants to join a violent gang upon discharge. It's that gangs form of initiation

Maybe that is the case.

However this is not to do with the point I was making, that is that when people have something to live for, they can be given a purpose in life, a reason to keep fit, look good, act in a good way, and so on.
 
That is just horrible....

Why after six years of Republican Congressional control, haven't they passed a single anti-poverty bill?

Don't Republicans care?


LBJ passed welfare anti poverty laws and here we are 22 trillion dollars later with record numbers on welfare.

LBJ did not outlaw poverty, he only made it bearable

It is Republican supply side policies that ensured the path out of poverty was closed

Wrong. All he did was allow poverty to prosper. His war on poverty made it easy for the poor to be supported by we the taxpayer and that's how its been ever since.

Eased the suffering of the poor and provided job training, education and small business opportunities

No wonder conservatives gutted the program first chance they got

Bullshit. All his war on poverty did was make the taxpayers responsible for the freeloaders.

You might want to be responsible for someone else's bills but I sure as hell don't.

War on poverty helped people who needed help

More than just handouts. it provided jobs training, education and small business loans

Republicans gutted the program first chance they got

It is one of those problems. Some things work, and other things don't, but people's interests in government take precedent and they'll show things that don't work to take funding from all things.

are you really that stupid? liberal policies created the poverty and hopelessness. Wake up, idiot.

Wow, an insult.


nope, just a statement of fact.

Do you really expect people to answer the points you try and make when you insult?
"Try and make" :lol:
 
Go ask your mom what a generalization is.

Well, I disagree with your generalization.
You can start by pointing out any Christian who says they have nothing to live for.
There ain't any.

But plenty of athiest leftists.

No, I disagree again.

Christianity made suicide immoral and a sin. Why would they need to do this if no Christian was going to commit suicide?

Sometimes people who are in a community, will find they don't need to commit suicide, and religion can give people this community. However that doesn't mean suicide doesn't happen.
Like I said, every Christian has a sense for their purpose in life.

Suicide is a mental disorder and a seperate topic. It is a sin because we have a purpose. Touché.

No, a lot of Christians probably don't have this sense of purpose. That's why some Christians commit suicide.
Your best arguement is laughable. Every Christian knows their life has purpose.

Bullshit. All it did was saddle the taxpayers of America with the responsibility to provide for those who can't or won't provide for themselves.

The war on poverty was a failure. There are more poor than there ever were. Idiots like you wear the poor like a shawl. You actually think that those that have should be obligated support those that don't have.

You are bleeding heart idiot and a fool.

War on poverty did what it was supposed to do.....provide sustenance and a path out of poverty to those in need

It is not the programs fault that Republican supply side economics has thrown more people into poverty

Gee, I wonder why that is, since the nuts around here also insist there's no racism on this board...

The war on poverty has won. The poverty rate, including 'war on poverty' assistance, is about 4%.

The offcial poverty rate, which measures poverty BEFORE you factor in almost all of the assistance, is 14%.

Poverty Facts | Poverty Rate, Poverty Thresholds & Census Information


Since that time, U.S. taxpayers have spent over $22 trillion on anti-poverty programs (in constant 2012 dollars). Adjusted for inflation, this spending (which does not include Social Security or Medicare) is three times the cost of all military wars in U.S. history since the American Revolution. Despite this mountain of spending, progress against poverty, at least as measured by the government, has been minimal

America's Real Poverty Rate Is Around And About Zero

"...that official poverty standard does not include most of the things we do to try and alleviate poverty. It includes market income (wages, pensions, income from investments if any) and cash transfers from government (so, TANF is included).

But it does not include transfers in kind (Medicaid, SNAP, Section 8 housing vouchers, free school meals and some 70 other such programs) nor does it include anything operating through the tax system (the EITC is ignored as well).

Given that pretty much all poverty alleviation is done via benefits in kind or the tax system this official poverty line is therefore best thought of as being the amount of poverty there would be if there was no government help to reduce poverty. Not quite exactly, but given the way the money is allocated pretty much so."


I realize that's a bit deep for you people at the shallow end of the pool, but TRY to understand it.

So, blacks should only be used to depict criminals NBA players and ugly women?
