why are you starting all of these effing political threads? why are there so many political discussions going on - this isn't a political discussion board. i'm just curious as to why. i don't really care. but tbh i don't read the threads because all they turn out to be are a bunch of kids aged 18-26 who seem to have been brought up privlege who are stuck on the far conservative side and think everyone who receives wellfare should be put to death or something similar. it's depressing to read and you will never change their closed minds.
I don't understand people who think that way. I especially don't understand Christians...oh i'm sorry "Christians" who are against any sort of program that helps underprivleged people.
hbb there are like two people on these forums who have a remotely humanitarian leaning it seems sostarting these threads doesn't generate 'fun discussion' so much as it causes rage (at least in me) :P
you have to understand. I believe in helping out people who are in a bad place no matter what the reason they are there. i love them where they are at and hope that encourages them to improve and grow. *shrug*

There's a big difference between being a good person, helping the less fortunate out, and advocating the government take money from Group A to give it to Group B, no matter how much Group B needs it. That is simply dividing up stolen property. It's easy to be generous with other peoples' money. Hell, half of Americans don't pay any income taxes. For them to be so willing to support spreading this tax money is easy, as they have no skin in the game.
