I would like to apologize to Lebron James for all the mean things I said about him. I get it now. Good lord, what a piece of crap this lady is.

A nation sighs.

And this is why people like 50 cent are sending all the proceeds from his products to help out 3rd world countries.

When he said he was going to feed some astronomical number of people in Africa, somebody asked him why he doesn't direct his attention to helping out Americans. 50 claimed that people in America can get help if they need to. It's true.

Can I just put something out there for debate? If everybody's shtick is to "fix American problems first" but, those who claim this most likely want to get rid of all welfare programs because of idiots like that lady, how the fcsk are we supposed to fix problems at home? I have YET to see anybody even give a glimmer of an idea's fart on how to tackle "fixing American problems"...

I find that the problem with most "help" programs is, they only treat the symptoms, they don't cure the disease. If America is serious about "helping" people then we need to quit rewarding irresponsible behavior and look at the root cause of societal problems. This woman is f*** ing ignorant. You can't help her, she's terminal. Somewhere in her neighborhood, though, is a child growing up in the same environment that created her.

What are the factors that lead to the level of stupidity we see exhibited here? Attack those. Clean up the neighborhood. Grow business in the area to provide steady jobs and a reason to invest in the area. Crush crime through the elimination of stupid laws and the enforcement of ones that fight behavior that contributes to the trouble. Train and expect more of the police and put them in the neighborhood, not cruising through it and PAY THEM! Police work is such a crucial civic function and we pay these people nothing for the risks they take and what they are expected to do. Is it any wonder we see bad cops? Demand responsible parents, punish deadbeat dads who think it's acceptable to knock a girl up and roll on, don't encourage "baby mommas" by rewarding their factory vaginas with a bigger welfare check. Strengthen the family units. Improve schools so kids from the poorer neighborhoods have a fighting chance to realize a higher standard of living than their parents. Just like the cops, teachers are shaping young minds and have as much daily contact with kids as parents do, sometimes more. We pay them so little, give them very little support on the homefront, pack their classrooms with knuckleheads, push rote memorization over real learning and wonder why kids drop out or graduate dumb as f***.

That's not what we do in America. We turn a blind eye to the environments we allow our people to grow up in and then give them apology checks and expect nothing from them for the rest of their lives. That's the wrong tactic and can only create more people like this. It's not real charity is guilt appeasement. This is why most liberals piss me off. Their sympathy is self-serving and insulting. They don't do things to help people for the sake of helping people. They do it so they can feel better about themselves. That's s*** and more repugnant than blatant hatred because it's wrapped in a friendly smile; it's sneaky.

THAT ^ is another example of NICO requiring a "Like" button.

I think Michigan is the state I was just reading about where they have tied welfare to truancy. If the parent doesn't make sure their child attends school, they don't get a check. You should have seen the ignorant "mom" they got on camera arguing against it.

Speaking of memorization, when I was in school we were taught to sound out words when we started reading. They don't do that so much these days. Instead they rely on the memorization of words and letters, not what sounds they make. Maybe this method works better/faster, I just found it odd.

Anyway, that's a great post Mike.

I guess that such is they way Democrats have domesticated poor people....

I have to ask, in fairness, why is it called an "Obama Phone"? The welfare phone program started in the Bush era. Have the numbers dramatically increased under Obama or something so that it gets the "Obama Phone" title? And its not just the opponents of the program that label it as such. The moochers that seem to be so proud to have it call it an "Obama Phone". I dont get it.

[300ZXttZMAN]

Oh my god...

[szh]

Apparently, the program is real! Un-effing-real!

Oh geeze, time to revisit a law that is 80 years old.

I knew about the Universal Service Fund (USF) fee ... just didn't know it was being used to justify free cell-phones!

Including for people who already own one and sign up to get a "free" one, just because they qualify for it!

Since I have been a cell-phone user since 1991 and a home phone owner (USF applies to it too, as I recall) since 1978, I think I must have provided free phones and free service per rmonth, to dozens of people by now!

[stebo0728]

Yes, this is a very real program. But what baffles me more, is the fact that it started under Bush!

[themadscientist]

Don't tell that to that lady. She think Obama dun gotz her dat phone!

[300ZXttZMAN]

That dumb lady is half of obama's votes

[stebo0728]
