Helping Japan..... Pros and Cons

[BgMc31]

Are you joking? Seriously, is your rebuttal meant to be funny? Have you been to the Appalachian region? My best friend and his hippie girl friend moved to West Virginia to live the life of the Appalachian Trail. There is a massive lack of modernization there that's what drives most hippie/woodsman/live-off-the-land type of people there. CHOICE!!!! (There's that word again) For the vast majority of people who live there...it's a culture! Sure, it's classed as in poverty by today's standards...there is ZERO supply and demand due to the rural isolation and low population density!

Responding to you just got terribly boring. G'night.

First of all you completely disregarded my response to your bogus homeless claim. But I'll move on. To answer your question, I've actually spent quite a bit of time in the Appalachian region of the US (from southern Penn to Mississippi), plus my vast family leniage of the area. I recruited and trained athletes from the area (and since I only minored in sociology I won't even bring up my studies in that realm). So unlike you, who get their information second hand from a best friend (who is apparently just as bat shit crazy as you) and his hippy girlfriend, I have actual real world knowledge of the region and the people. For you to compare them to hippy, live off the land types, proves your ignorance. These are some of the most hard working, conservative people in the country. It's lack of resources that keep these people impoverished. If you don't believe it, instead of taking second hand information, try either researching the topic or take a trip up there and actually spend time with the people. Poverty is all about lack of resources, unlike ignorance (because its clear that all those resources are at your fingertips, buddy).

its bad taste to talk like this .there are people from all over on here and i respect everybody until its broken.it gives us a bad name .everybody out there already thinks we try to run the world.because we do put our nose in everything.personaly im sick of us spreading our selves thin in these middle eastern countries risking our younger brothers lives . but ive seen it first hand and with out us over there ,there would have been alot more repercutions all over the world.

If he doesnt like how US gov spend money then he has options as do all of you. You live in a democracy, and your foreign policy is supposed to be a reflection of your people. That may not always be true.
Did times roman not say he does not agree with sending aid?- thats what I meant about him saying "fvck japan, they can look after themselves" as that was his reasoning.

the bottom line is were all individuals with our own opinions.And its ok to express them,even if there not on the same level.JUST have respect and a heart for the situation over there .someone has lost there children/mom/dad/brother/sister and so on. man i couldnt deal with that.and thank god we dont.

Your point is clear and evident, auslifta. I see the irony and I agree with you...everyone can see lovbyts lost his credibility with the stupid comments he was making.

You mean my stupid comment on saying he is misinterpreting TR? LOL To many people must be mid PCT

BTW, since my CREDIBILITY is now lost because you dont have the intelligence or analytical reasoning capability to understand what I was trying to say then..... I dont want to be your friend anymore either. hahahahaha Now that we are all back in the 3rd grade.....

Get my point this time or do you want to continue embarrassing yourselves by acting like children? Try acting with a little maturity and stop judging everyone and everything about them on one comment that may have been misunderstood. Even if you dont agree with someone in regards to religion, political view points or other things why let it get out of hand? Really it is starting to sound like a bunch of elementary school kids.
