While starving to death is impossible in the U.S.,

Starving to death is very possible in the US. Lose your job, become a homeless vagrant, and try living off the money you get asking for change on the streets. It won't be pretty.

If you're still stubborn in your claim, here's one for you: Quit Eating. It does wonders if you want to starve to death.

So, can get ban hammer and sickle avatars now? Come on, be consistant.

Damn, I hate it when I miss the meat of threads... though Zylka is damn funny .

[mrmitchell]

Yes, I've given many a thought to including Ming's "Zylka's never been a PC guy" comment in my sig as opposed to your more...out-of-context quote.

I don't know why they're banning Swastikas without banning Hammer and Sickles...maybe it's that Swastikas are illegal in some parts of the world while Commies get a little more freedom due to collapsing from the inside instead of the outside, thus suggesting they weren't a threat anyways.

[MichaeltheGreat]

The swastika is still a commonly used symbol for white supremacy, etc. The hammer and sickle just denotes someone as delusional.

The reason we don't start banning more stuff, or give a rat's ass about "consistency" is that doing so would bring out the guardhouse lawyers to play avatar games because they have more time to waste than we do.

stop thread jacking MTG!

now back to the proper subject.

Homeless people can rake in tons of cash. If they have plenty of money for booze, they have plenty of money for food. It's just some choose booze over food.

In my city we have homless people begging who don't even look homeless. I've even heard stories of regular people dressing up as homeless people and begging for money (although you'd think if they are going through that much trouble- they'd just get a job and earn more money).

And yes starving to death is impossible in the U.S. It's funny the liberals still claim there are millions of starvin kids in the U.S. everytime the U.S. gets involved in some war like in Iraq that costs billions of dollars. The fact is kids in the U.S. are not starving to death. The biggest problem is they are eating too much food and junk food.

Diss, your ignorance is showing

[Dis]

Show me some starving kids.

the only kids that starve are because of negligance by their parents. It's not that their parents are too poor for food, It's that their parents are child abusers.

If homeless people can get enough food to eat anyone can.

Think about it. Just try to think about it.

[mrmitchell]

Trust me, Diss, it is VERY possible for you to starve to death and not have to work at it in the US. Besides, how are those homeless guys going to get any money if you keep staying at home on forums all day? Are they going to register an account and go into the OTF saying "Can you spare a dime brother?"

Ban my Baron Sengir avatar! Vampires who want to rule the world shouldn't be tolerated.

[Dis]

even the liberal Bill Maher says there is no one starving in the U.S. He's the only sensible liberal I have ever seen. He basically points out that the poor are suffering from being too fat, not starving to death.

Come on! the supermarkets just throw away food in their dumpsters. It's there for the taking. What do you think Eric Rudolph was doing. There is no shortage of food in the U.S. If Eric Rudolph can have no job, live in the cold mountains and forest all winter long and still find enough food to live, anyone can. This isn't brain surgery folks.

Must be every kids dream to one day find...

Is that the american dream I keep hearing so much about ?

[FrustratedPoet]

Alva: I thought the American dream was to be born in the gutter, then grow up and get all the money in the world and stick in your ears and go "phhfffffp".
Whereas, of course, the European dream is to be in a Mediterranean country buzzing along on Vespa and saying "Ciao!".

Perhaps I shouldn't bother asking how this became the proper subject... anyway, WHO LIKES MY NEW AVY!?!?!
