I hate poor people
There I said it.
I dont get why everyone is always saying "we need to help the poor". The poor are poor for a reason, they are either stupid or lazy (usually both). I have better things to do with my time and money then to waste it on people who are undeserving of it. yes there are exceptions (as there are to everything), and im sure there are people out there somewhere who are poor and a helping hand would be good for them. But this is the exception, not the norm. the only poor people I feel sorry for, are children, because they cant help that their parents (or parent) are stupid or lazy. |

Re: I hate poor people
I think charitable giving is bad solely because of the corruption within most charities and the fact that a portion of those who you physically give it to (panhandlers) won't do it to better themselves.
I actually have no proof to back either of those statements up, just what I've heard. |

[/ QUOTE ] Charity Navigator , Charity Watch and a few other groups provide useful information on how much of your money goes to the alleged cause, how much is spent on administration, etc... If you're giving without doing this kind of research, you're a sucker. |

Re: I hate poor people
Are you referring to poor people in America, or poor people in general?

Re: I hate poor people
It should also be pointed out that many so-called "poor" people in America have things like cars, cable TV, cell phones, and $150 sneakers that people in many other countries could only dream of.
