I believe poor people are extremely lazy and deserve to be poor

Even if you experienced a terrible misfortune it shouldn’t take long to get back from being poor,I feel they should get back on their two feet and get something doing even though it might not be easy

    It's normal for some people who have not experienced terrible hardship in their lives to be unable to empathize with the struggles of others. Your opinions are just opinions, your opinions are not facts.

    • I don't think what the OP posted is what hes problem really is!
      I mean he doesn't strike me as a person that would care about poor people. But unless he tells us the real problem we can't help him.

    Man... babies born in poverty are so damn lazy; forget learning to walk and talk, get a job already!

    All sarcasm aside, you should understand that people's situation may vary from as early as birth.

      Where you were born doesn’t give you an excuse to fail unfortunately,I’m studying the greatest people in the world and many of them weren’t born with a leverage

        Realistically, it's not possible for everyone to have the same opportunities. So stop making excuses for poverty.

    This.

    I've never been desperately poor or homeless, but it's just...any one with an ounce of common sense or empathy should be able to understand how it can happen, especially to people who aren't born into privilege or who have little to no support to fall back on.

    Especially in a country where a single medical bill can fucking bankrupt people. Jesus Christ.

    I mean fuck...I'm one of the laziest fucking people I know. Laziness has zero to do with it.

      Seriously, review all your outback medical skills. Like starting IVs, sewing cuts shut, and such. Good procedural videos are on YouTube if you have forgotten anything. A night in Oconee Memorial Hospital near Clemson will cost you at least $1000 out of pocket. Remember that, medical, surgical, and test equipment is very inexpensive if you order it directly from China on the Internet; allow five weeks for delivery.

        Yes I know you keep trying to work out where he lives and be gross about it.

        No, it's not Walhalla. You lose. That shouldn't be anything new for you. And if you're going to continue to pretend you've ever been to Australia, you should quit exhibiting your vastly incorrect assumptions. Watching Crocodile Dundee is not the same as having been here.

        Fuck off, boogers.

          Back in 1985, I toured the Royal Flying Doctor's headquarters in Alice, then headed down to Uluru to climb to the top. Anyway, there is no country in the world that has medical people as good at talking people thru medical procedures on the radio as those guys are. I was truly impressed. American docs are pretty good but they have to do the work themselves.

          Just so you know - you won't quite have the best medical care in the world, now that you are planning to live in the States.

          PS. I don't thumb you down. Why don't you stop being a cunt?

            1. Sure thing. I totally believe your television experience.

            2. I never claimed to have the best medical care in the world at any point, so I'm not sure why you think I care?

            3. a) I didn't accuse you of thumbing me down. Nor do I give a fuck if you do.
            b) I didn't thumb you down, if that's your round about way of making accusations. You're really not important to me, and I don't play thumb attack games.

            4. Please go back to blocking me as a way of pretending you're not obsessed with me, even though you claim you don't block and also stalk my profile.

            5. Noticed that "somebody" commented just a little before you. Did you forget which account was which again? Bless.

              Well thank you, but "gaze in awe" is just a bit of an over-ripe observation. Actually, I just barely squeaked into Mensa. Take care and enjoy the Northern Hemisphere. Don't get sick; all the best.

    Some of them could just be really thick. Although tbf if you're thick and honest then you can still make really good money in manual labour.

    You might have a point with this one tbf.

        If they've got their own business then maybe, but if you were to work a full-time job, and not completely fuck up, then even if you started at somewhere like Wallmart you'll be promoted off minimum wage.

  • I'm lazy and I deserve everything I want.

    You never know, with a good work ethic like yours, you may be cleaning my toilets one day. But with an attitude like yours you wont ever make it to anything notable. You will be a hatefull unhappy person to the day you die. Also bring the bleach and a stiff brush, I want the grout between the tiles in my toilet cleaned properly.

  • Some people are poor because they have mental problems or live in an area with few opportunities or some other factor keeping them down. But then some are poor because they are just lazy. I've met both.

    I had s friend from high school who was the most lazy person you will meet. She wasnt dumb or mentally ill, just a do-less person. She has always been broke and poor. Some people cant do any better. Most can.

      Whether or not people can do better doesn't justify poverty. End of story.

        I see it all the time. Someone bitching about the system or why others have more than them and how unfair it all is. I've never seen a hard worker complain about how unfair it all is.

    If someone is decently intelligent bouncing back from being homeless or poor would be pretty easy. Now if they are less intelligent or have some messed up mental disorders they will have some trouble getting out of it. Now they make up the majority of the real homeless people. But poor people on the other hand tend to stay poor due to peacocking any amount of wealth they have rather then saving it on something to advance thier situation such as education.

      Have you ever been poor or homeless? Because I’ve been both. I can tell you that it’s not that easy to get out of it. It’s not that easy to get a decent job that will pay for basic living cost when your homeless. I work a full time job now and still live paycheck to paycheck. I’m not peacocking whatsoever. I haven’t the money for such meaninglessness. Before you judge the poor. Try walking in our broken down shoes.

          Right now I’m looking for a new job with better pay. The job I have now has has off weeks and sometimes I’m lucky to get a 40$ paycheck and that’s unacceptable to me.

              Yeah when I started this job I was getting 350 to 400 each paycheck but it’s gotten progressively worse the last couple of years to where I’m not getting that at all my last paycheck was 0 and I’m not the only one that’s dealing with that at work. It’s just a matter of us not getting any hours. I can’t do it so I’ve got to find another job. And I like working. It’s not good for my mental health to stay at home and do nothing.

    The odds are way and I mean way less if your are born into a poor 1 parent family already living in the poorest neighborhood in your state the odds of you making it out and making something with your life is like 97.6% less likely to make it and succeed, then a person born into the exact same situation in the wealthiest neighbor hood in the same state.. It is a fact..

    Depends on location really, like here in the u.s I worked full tine and rarely had 600+ to my nane well now I work 2 full time jobs, my days feel more full and complete and I have $2,919 in my bank account and i haven't even been working there a month yet. One job pays 10.50 the other 11. So not quite min wage but not quite past it. My point beibg irs possible just depends on your commitment for a better future. I have no say on other countries for obvi reasons so I'm sticking my point to u.s only
