Although this likely isn't what your friend means, it's absolutely true.

The purpose of "welfare" (i.e. the social safety net as a whole) should be to give people every chance and opportunity to better themselves and improve their situation to the point where they no longer need the aid. The ideal is, in fact, NO welfare - not because people are undeserving, but because it is no longer necessary.

I should add that, in the current state of things, it's unfortunate because the programs do not have the resources to accomplish this goal. Not nearly enough.

He was implying earlier that welfare was for the lowest common denominator so, yeah. :(

The beginning of this post was the OP(in light blue) posted she doesn't want to leave San Francisco and may just decide to call it home now. Then someone who use to work in the PSL out there in SF sid if she was interested in doing some activism the PSL had an office there and she could say he sent him. And here goes the rest:



He followed up below where it cuts out with

quote:

Off the grid you have loving laptop how ridiculous.You are the change you want to be alright.Uncommitted to anyone but yourself.

For the record, this woman is in fact about as off the grid as an American can get without fully deleting their internet presence as well. I mean the last 5 months has been her hitchhiking from one side of the country and back twice I found it amusing because it's actually a great metaphor of what happened to Occupy(they were both former members, she in fact lived there for the whole 5 months ours was up) and why there were once 30,000 people at Foley Square and last week there were like 7 people at Zuccotti park.
"Oh, you want to work to try to make the Democratic party more leftist instead of pouring effort into pointless third parties? I'm sorry I thought you wanted to change the system."

This one makes me angry because there is a valid point to be made here. The rate of men developing eating disorders because of how models and superheroes look and the rising standard of beauty, has risen considerably over the past decade or so. Women are becoming way less alone on this particular front, but it is still way worse for them.

No loving idea how this is a Feminist Double Standard though. Most women don't want their men looking like He-Man and women didn't create the character either. What I'm saying is this is five kinds of insane.

It's a loving joke of an image because it isn't some feminist double standard. Either they share the image going "Well He-Man is awesome so gently caress you femi-nazis" or "But you don't complain about muscle men" when the cause for barbie he-man is the same, Patriarchy.

It helps distract the reader from the fact that the poster hasn't provided any kind of citation, and as such their claims are almost entirely meaningless.

It distracts from the fact that they cite no evidence and that their story is bullshit on many levels (the kids were loving arrested, for one thing; also only one was black so it doesn't even work as a DANGEROUS BLACK PEOPLE story) by using pop culture.

The reason for the Joker is a quote from the Dark Knight.

"You know what I've noticed? Nobody panics when things go "according to plan." Even if the plan is horrifying! If, tomorrow, I tell the press that, like, a gang banger will get shot, or a truckload of soldiers will be blown up, nobody panics, because it's all "part of the plan". But when I say that one little old mayor will die, well then everyone loses their minds!"

He's like that in the scene there.

IMO, it's more like the Joker was a well written antihero character that gave 0 fucks in that movie, played iconically by a good looking actor who died before the film came out. Like Travis Bickle, he's going to be the representation of dumb young nihilism for a while.

Death-jacking! I haven't actually talked to the OP here for a long time (someone I knew in high school, added me on FB, the usual) and I don't know what their situation is, but if it is indeed a death, then the third reply is mindblowingly insensitive. Each color in his post is a different (dead) person (yellow is mentioned twice).

Dear Mr Cave, if you do not release the bats we will be forced to take legal action
Using that Australian murder as an example of blacks being thugs is even worse than the usual stories that pop up because the killers were split perfectly in half between blacks and whites and only blatantly obvious prejudice would lead someone to call it 3 black teens. Easily one of the worst cloaked examples of shaping a story to match ideology I've seen.

And their further response:

Letters from white South Africa posted:

Sarah Dawson says she wants to "scrub all the white" off herself. Typical of young liberal these days. Apparently they consider self hatred some sort of fashion statement.

I've got news for you low browed, mouth breathing trolls out there. We do not hate black people. We hate what they are doing to not only themselves, but to the minority white people in South Africa who happen to be at a level 6 of 8 stages according to Genocide Watch. org.

Let's put it this way so you moronic trolls can understand, mmmkay?

I love my children. I love my own children more than I love my neighbors children. Does that mean I hate my neighbors children? No, it does not, and you drat well know it does not. So stop looking for something that is not there.

Ok now, let's put our "thinking caps" on for this part. I know it's hard for you to understand, but try.

It would be unnatural for me as parent to love my neighbors children more than my own.

The point is, if we do not take care of our own families how can we be of any use to help others? Get your heads out of your rear end. You may have graduated High School and are now attending college, but many of the trolls posting here are sadly lacking in common logic and critical thinking skills. You base your actions on emotion and not logic. Understood?

There just isn't enough :psyduck: to describe white South Africans (still the most wealthy and employed ethnic group in the country by a wide margin) whinging about how oppressed they are.
