Thanks for the advice. I will have one of my personal assistants make an appointment for me to have my blinders removed. I can then tour the inner citys and perhaps the Appalachians . Hopefully there will be a place there for me to land my private jet.
Guilty as charged! I have no clue on who is included in this survey. Children? Students? Illegal Aliens? People who refuse to work? Prisoners? If I just go by the title of this thread, all of these people fit in. What I'm trying to relay is that these statistics are molded to fit an agenda. It just seems that everybody is so eager to take the bait and kick this country down as a bad place to live. It is what you make of it.
So what you are saying is that all of the single non student non children included in that 37 million are making under $10500? And I would assume that the rest would be couples making less than $21000? If this is true, makes you wonder who is included in this number. Illegal aliens? Lay-abouts? Frauds?
It is amazing how many lemmings fall into line here.
This guy puts out a stat from a survey that an "unbiased" organization (a Catholic charitable organization or whatever) pays for (think about that for a second kids) and everyone takes it for the gospel truth.
Just for starters, what does it mean living below the poverty level???
No HBO on cable tv?
Having to buy store brand pet food for their 2 cats, dog, ferret and hamsters?
Subscribing to the cheapest plan possible for my cell phone?
Driving a 3 year old car?
(I'll assure you that many of the 37 million people in this survey fall into these categories)
Folks, yes, there are some truly poor people in this country and not everyone can afford vacations on The Vineyard each summer, but this survey is designed to make things seem much worse than they are to push the survey purchasers agenda.
Are things perfect here? Absolutely not!!! But please don't fall for this line of crap that this survey is trying to sell.
I learned the truth at seventeen That love was meant for beauty queens And high school girls with clear skinned smiles Who married young and then retired The valentines I never knew The Friday night charades of youth Were spent on one more beautiful At seventeen I learned the truth...
I was just watching the movie Cool Hand Luke and there was a scene where one of the prisoners sang Just a Closer Walk With Thee. The setting, the circumstances and the simplicity of the instrumentation really gets to you.
Yes, of course. What better source to get your information than Google or the New York Times. If its in black and white or on line, it HAS to be true. Right??? I admit, I knew nothing before Google came along. Now, I know it all.
Who put the bomp in the bomp-a-bomp-a-bomp Who put the ram in the ram-a-lam-a-ding-dong Who put the bop in the bop-she-bop-she-bop Who put the dip in the dib-de-dip-de-dip
What are some of your favorite opening song lines. For me, Desolation Row
They're selling postcards of the hanging They're painting the passports brown The beauty parlor is filled with sailors The circus is in town
Ready or not
Someone's going to have to explain it to me I'm not sure what it means My baby's feeling funny in the morning She's having trouble getting into her jeans Her waist-line seems to be expanding Although she never feels like eating a thing I guess we'll reach some understanding When we see what the future will bring
I guess an example would be staying a little too long with a girlfriend/boyfriend even when you know things are absolutely coming to an end. For example, Tom Brady was running with scissors.
We all know how difficult it is to find a solid album, that does not have a stinker among them. I thought it might be fun to make a thread where people listed some albums that they believe have not one bad track, and it might be a fun way to recommend albums to people. Here are some of mine:
Bob Dylan Highway 61 Revisited Lucinda Williams Sweet Old World The Three Sounds Blue Hour The Who Quadrophenia
Seriously, (thats a change for me) it would all depend on her preferences. I learned from experience, one persons caviar is another persons fish guts. So something that I may consider an impressive dish, may turn the stomach of my date. Now when I cook for someone, I make sure I have previously found out some of her favorite foods, then build the menu from that.
