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*

Amelinda i have disturbing news.
Im a conservative

I grew up in poverty with a drug-addict mother and imprisoned father (he is serving life).

I still dislike people who live off of welfare or disability (which is far too easy to attain for minor conditions, if you have serious medical issues I'm not talking to you) for more then a few months (everyone I grew up around was and still is).

Too many people get comfortable and just stop attempting to get out of the situation and adapt to living a government enabled life in poverty.

Reminds me of parents who need to kick out their lazy young adult children to force them to grow up tbh.

This is my view, as well.... the problem is the blanket accusations and blind hatred that many people have concerning the general socioeconomic landscape.

They scavenge, they've built themselves sturdy one-room shacks; they have pets, cook, chat, argue, give each other haircuts. A bucket is their toilet. Leaky overhead pipes are a source of water for showers. They live in virtual darkness. During the filming, Amtrak gives a 30-day eviction notice.

Apparently if there was a documentary about the making of the documentary it would probably be cooler. These people willingly lived off the grid. The director lived underground for 3 months before deciding to film anything. He borrowed a camera on-loan, got some left over film stock from Kodak, and shot the entire movie using the homeless people as the tech crew. They were happy to be where they were... happy to help out with the documentary. They were enthusiastic about sharing their story, about finding means to get electricity.. they had televisions... radio.. couches. They chose to live off the grid and forsake the entire idea of being sent to a homeless shelter because it is too dangerous or live on welfare and take from the system. Not everyone abuses the system.. some don't even want to be on it.
