It becomes more obvious every day that there are a ton, and I mean a TON, of things that are part of every-day life for many, that you have never seen or done.
Kind of confusing how someone who has experienced so little seems to think they know so much.

I have experienced being in the poor community more than any of you. I grew up in a poorer community. I went to a bad school. Doing this stuff is my dad's job.

From many of your comments, it is very, very obvious that you have not experienced life in truly poor communities. Poor compared to surrounding communities maybe, but not truly inner-city type poor. You wouldn't claim to have never seen or heard about stuff like this if you had. Not sure what "this stuff" is, but if your dad works with or around the truly poor, I guarantee he's seen it. He may not have ever talked about it, but he's seen it.

I will admit that I live in Kansas, so we really don't have inner cities like Chicago. So you are right on that. Explain the difference between poor people in Central Kansas and poor people in Chicago.

So, someone who doesn't know the differences between Central Kansas and Detroit or Chicago has been trying to tell us how wrong we are about things in the World. You may be able to keep wasting others' time, but you'll waste no more of mine.

Guess I will have to stay ignorant. Woe is me.

The yugest RSF ever.

Our thread has been taken over it seems.

#1) Gov't handouts
#2) Only form of recreation they can afford
#3) Cannot afford contraception
#4) Lack of education
#5) In middle class families many times both parents work and when not they want to give their kids the best and having more kids makes it difficult. So they stop at 2 or 3 to ensure that the kids can do all the sports, fun vacations and they can pay for their schooling. The poor don't necessarily see it that way. More kids = more government support.


Proof is on Google. Multiple sites. It is financially not finantially. I am not sure how babies can be good at anything.

#1) Uhh but as we have established, having babies is not good for one's financial stability.
#4) Correct.
#5) You don't think poor people want the best for their kids? Do more kids = better finances?

Prove it to me yourself. I looked it up. I found nothing. Make your own arguments.

#1) More kids = more welfare. Google "Welfare moms"
#4) I know
#5) "Best" is different. Middle class want college and maybe grad school, expensive vacations "Disney". Can't do it if you have more than three kids unless you are a 1%er or close to it. The poor just want them fed and clothed. Apples and oranges. But #4 is the main reason.

Many "poor" people have 8-10 extra hours every day they need to fill. Also, some of those same people have more children so they get more "assistance" handouts from people like YOU. Explained clear enough for your naive mind?

You may need to repeat it 100 more times.

Keep doing it. While you are at it, talk to some people in poverty. Maybe what they say will surprise you.

They are in poverty because they are bad with money.

I told you 100x. My parents came here with $100 and didn't speak English. We had to walk around at night and grab furniture people left on the street. We had food stamps. My parents saved, learned English and did better for themselves. They didn't have 3 more kids. I know more about poverty than you will ever know. When they came to this country they took a RISK. Immigrants these days come here and expect a hand out or perks.

This country provides who wants to be provided for.

Poor people in Haiti live on highways and kids get run over. I'd rather be poor in the US.

#1) OK, so more kids = better financials. Do you want to wager on whether families with more kids are better off?
#5) Well, yeah. That's called survival mode. It's really, really hard to think future when you can't provide for your kids.

Maybe because they never had money to begin with?

1. How wealthy were your parents growing up? How wealthy were they before they immigrated? Were their parents good role models? Did they get an education?
2. How do you know? Why do you just assume that?
