Stop hating the rich / poor, hate the lazy and those who abuse the system.

Just saying. I'm hoping that we can agree on this.

FUCK YOU!

You sexy thang.

 

[Lestat]

agreed!!

The principles of capitalism that I think are great is that the pursuit of money motivates people and keeps them productive, but the problem comes in when you have people that don't have the same opportunities to even achieve certain levels of compensation, then they automatically get tagged as lazy or stupid, when reality could be much different.

What a load of crap. So they dont' have opportunities to work hard? BULLSHIT. I seem to remember watching a 20/20 show about a HOMELESS GUY in New York, who one day decided to stop being a lazy good for nothing bum and get off his ass and do something. He went aroudn the city collecting aluminum cans and bottles that could be returned for deposit from garbage cans. He started off filling shopping carts with them. Then, he moved on to filling this huge bin on wheels many times a day. It was hard work, walking all over NYC sifting through trash cans...but he did it rather than look for a welfare check.

Know what he made the year they did the story on him? TWO HUNDRED THOUSAND DOLLARS!!!

If you're dirt poor, 99 percent of the time it's because you're lazy. Sure, there's that other 1 percent that have issues beyond their own control that hold them back from achieving much (notice I said beyond their control, the ones doing drugs and drinking too much are just stupid and deserve a shit life), but it's a VERY SMALL MINORITY. People born with serious disabilities, ect, get a pass to some degree (BORN WITH, not the ones that got so fucking fat that they can hardly function, or smoked so they got emphysema or cancer...those people should be shot for doign it to themselves). Everyone else tho? GET OFF YOUR ASS AND DO SOMETHING.

I'm going to give you k. Know why? Because you didn't say 100% of the time. You said 99% so you do recognize that some people have some challenges that are outside their control. Thank you for restoring my faith in Canadians.
