Nearly Half Of Detroiters illiterate.

[SlowwHand]

Yeah. What about Pancho, Carlos and Juan?

I find it "interesting" that you jump to conclusions about other people and assume they have some sort of double standard if they don't share your political views.

You're a ****ing idiot if you can't recognize Oerdin's obvious racism.

Yeah. What about Pancho, Carlos and Juan?

And Sloww's...

[SlowwHand]

Change the names. I say those because they're representative of the illegals of which I'm most familiar. I don't like illegals.

[giblets]

I don't like illegals.

Including Ben Kenobi?

[SlowwHand]

To my knowledge, Ben isn't an illegal. To answer your question, if he was here illegally, I wouldn't want him here.

[Tupac Shakur]

I don't like illegals.

Surprise, surprise...

If it kept people poor and actively harmed them, why would they choose to accept welfare from the government? You seem to be implying that you know what's best for black adults, or you have a better idea of what's good for them than they do.

It enables them to survive in lives of poverty just well enough that they don't have enough of an incentive to pull themselves out of poverty. Watch some of John Stossell's stuff.

And now you're trying to write me off as paternalistic? So what are food stamps, Medicaid, and other programs that don't just directly give money to poor people? Those are somehow not paternalistic?

Either you think people are happier if they're barely scraping by while living on welfare instead of pulling themselves out of poverty, or you think people are just too stupid to do what is in their interest. If you think offering someone money makes them worse off, you think they're too stupid to take care of themselves. That's how it works.

Hey, I don't have anything against the concept of a guaranteed minimum income.

gribbler, the government programs you seem to advocate produce astonishingly high MTRs on the poor.

He's a smart guy, and he's funny. Not sure why you are so disdainful. His special on "freeloaders" was particularly good.

Noooope!
