People in the US who complain about being poor typically have never seen (live or pictures) third world poverty.

Poor people here have a house, three TVs, digital cable, and at least one car.

I gotta admit... wolfs=thing= the old adage regarding: what's relative?

What's relative sounds like some Einstein thing. "I have no Nikes shoes to look cool in, therefore I am poor and must mug you"


Or, I am poor, thusly,....

because the tribes that control the ports of bay that may feed my family and the litter of birthed illigitimate bastards (that stink in their own shit), and I hope don't have aids....

AND the Unitied Nations can't do a damn thing about it. THEY are not Tribal.

We still have very poor people, they just look better because we as a society cast off so much usable stuff.

I have suffered from depression and still do at times. I absolutely hate taking medication it makes me feel like a zombie. Mental health treatment to me is like black magic. The general public does not understand and pushes people away who struggle with mental health issues. A lot of people who struggle with mental health issues are very intelligent they just seem to have a void that others do not have.

You have to understand that for a lot of the poor people out there, one of the reasons for their 'poorness' is because they are uneducated and not motivated to do better for themselves. Since they are uneducated, they do not understand the economic implications to having many children, but what they are probably thinking is that if they have more kids then they get more child tax credits and better welfare benefits and other things like that which act as an incentive for them to have more children, and the cycle goes on and on and on.
