Oct 7, 2008 - Lazy, parasitic freeloaders. The world, i.e, taxpayers like me, don't owe you a living, and certainly not a free house. Get off your lazy asses & get a job you worthless pieces of shit!

Oct 7, 2008 - and what should they write down as their address when filling out an application? what business owner do you know that would ever hire a homeless person? could you even comprehend the cycle that puts people in this position in the first place? its not as simple as you seem to think it is. have some compassion.
PolliFaxToaster Says:
Oct 7, 2008 - you are in no position to call anybody stupid. human intelligence evolved hundreds of thousands of years before the modern races became distinct. about 2000 generations ago, your ancestors were san bushmen in the kalahari. so were mine. if you were educated, you would know this.
PolliFaxToaster Says:
Oct 7, 2008 - they're not. you've been mislead.
PolliFaxToaster Says:
Oct 7, 2008 - How about three. Dr. Daniel Hale Williams successfully completed the first open heart surgery on earth. Black. Jocelyn Elders was surgeon general. Spade. Otis Boykin invented the pacemaker. Negro. i doubt you will ever accomplish anything nearly as important as any of these in your lifetime.
PolliFaxToaster Says:
Oct 7, 2008 - moving goalpost? i think its more likely that you alone are retarded. what dont you understand. human intelligence evolved over millions of years.... but racial characteristics evolved in the past 50,000 years. science has prooved this with genetic evidence. DNA doesnt lie. this is the 21st century, stop acting like its the 17th century.
FrankeeFraud Says:
Oct 7, 2008 - "Puts people in this position"? Tell me you're kidding, Pal! No one put them in this position but themselves! I have no symapthy for these bums whatsoever. You feel sorry for them? Adopt a few of them, and leave the rest of us alone.........
PolliFaxToaster Says:
Oct 7, 2008 - its widely know that a majority of people who are homeless are such because of mental illness. had they been born into wealthy families they might be the recipients of care they need. children of poor families dont have that fortune. like i said, its a cycle. and i do much to help the poor and i dont even believe in jesus.
FrankeeFraud Says:
Oct 7, 2008 - 5,000 of them? C'mon! There must be at least 5,000 liberal do-gooders in Miami; put your money where your mouths are, you hypocrites! Start adopting them, or shut the fuck up!

Oct 7, 2008 - These people are stupid and unemployable. Failure and the negroe go hand in hand, they will always require some form of state custodial care and close police supervision.

Oct 7, 2008 - Absolutely! Makes me almost rethink my position on abortion; but only if it's retrocative...

ShinOak Says:
Oct 7, 2008 - I love Youtube. I love Youtube because it's so easy to spot ignorance. Stupid, unemployable, and failure, are three words that seem to fit this kind of incompetent holier-than-thou attitude. These people built all they have. They're not wealthy, they're not sitting up on their high horse looking down on others. They may not be the happiest people in the world, but God damnit they're trying. Once you can smell your own feces on your knees, then you may talk.
PeaceProfit Says:
Oct 7, 2008 - The illusion of success, rolls blindly past the reality of life . . .It's time for society to remove the blinders, to start funding and building ARC's (Abuse Recovery Centers) instead of prisons. It is time to train and employ, non violent, third strike offenders as mentor assistants to help themselves and the homeless assimilate back into productive social behaviors.It is time to embrace y/our humanity . . . and conquer our fears.BL*M
