If they are gonna waste more money on wishful thinking…might as well make me debt free while they are at it. As a matter of fact, make all Americans debt free. I mean, The bailout didn’t work nor did the stimulus package. So what are we doing again?

No hard feeling there mate. I just want people to understand that all in not fine and dandy as we all would like the world to be. I have those wishful thinkings also. Though, we have a long way to go. Now, I totally understand what you said about the contributions to different charity and what not. I too feel that the money should only go to those that actually needs it, instead of where it doesn’t. I get reallt fustrated when our hard earn dollars and cent goes to something that has no meaning at all. At the time economy outbreak that we have now, it should be invested, mind you, wisely; programs that help the woman and children first; food and shelter. Secondly, to the men and women out there that need jobs to take care of there families, which are our next generation that taking care and that will fight for our needs when we get old. Third, create resources that will not only support a certain race, age, sex or disabilities, but to create one for all that I have just mentioned. We are Americans and we have come a long way and we will continue to go that way for freedom and well being. We are looked at by foriegners and the ‘Land of the mountain of gold’ and if they see that we are not that kind of people, that we have not done our duties that our fore fathers and mothers have died and fought so hard to give. We are all just laughing and pissing on thier graves. No disrespect, just truth. So what can we do, help, help and help each other to stand back up and on our feet and get through this and our faces will be glowed with pride that says,”yeah, we did it as a nation. This is America!”

kdrew97, please not offense was taken and I wish that there were more like you that are open minded. You are entitled to your opinion and speak the truth of what you shall preach. I am just glad that someone actually will speak it. I thank you also for your insights.

I’m sorry. When someone writes, “….father with 4 kids and no job”, I take that for face value. As for criticizing you for being an ex con, I didn’t know you were an ex con. I didn’t cast stones at you, I simply replied to what you had written: “that you had 4 kids and no job.” I’m just tired of so many people thinking that because others have worked hard to achieve what they have, that they are entitled to it. Wouldn’t it frustrate you to give, without your consent and to someone you don’t know, a portion of what you have earned? I am all for charities. The difference is I am giving willingly to a cause where I know the funds will be handled appropriately and not being forced to contribute to someone or something I don’t believe in. That’s apart of being an American by having the freedom to choose where to put my money. The scary part of where I believe this country is heading is that freedom will be taken away and I won’t have a say in who or what my money goes to. My hard earned money will be ‘redistributed’ to others who feel they deserve a handout.

I am not speaking of now; I am speaking about the past. The past of how we all went through hard times, yet, as soon we are better, we forget about how hard it was. The we critize people about this and that. Now about me….I do have a job, but me, as not a full American, but has been here since I was 1; have seen many and hard felt things. Though, I rose from that and I still haven’t forgotten about the past, yet I go back and help people that are still there to learn and read English so that they too can achieve. Help them obtained jobs so they won’t depend on welfare. I was a thug that stole, cheat, sold things and been to Prison. Getting out was no walk in the park either. We all act as we have never done anything bad in our life. Casting stones at me for being an ex con. I couldn’t even work at MCDonald’s. Sad. Here I am..a Radiographer. Never even knew what that meant. So, before you go critzing people, think! That’s all I am asking. Don’t just go casting stones at people.

gokusayin – If you can’t feed your baby and keep the electricity on TURN THE DAMN INTERNET SERVICE OFF! Internet is not a right, it’s a privilege to be enjoyed AFTER your child is fed and the electric bill is paid. Why do you people think you’re entitled to things you don’t work for? Why do you think you deserve a handout? Get a job and provide for your family.

I agree with James. Just because you spelled one word wrong does not mean that the person that spelled it wrong is dumb. Maybe, street slang. The person that is critizing that is probably mad that something happened that day; wife cheated on him, lost his car keys at the mistress or something like that nature, decides to take it out on someone else. Keep it at home. That just goes to show how ignorant you are, douche bag!

Now, the people that said the second stimulus check will not work, probably still has a job, rich or just is a hater. Hey, that’s how you just roll. Now, for the people that needs it….This will help tremendously due to the economy being Bush wacked. Do anyone remember how iy felt to know your lights getting shut off feels like? Your infant crying cause it’s cold and there’s no milk. Cany really get help from your family cause they too are in the same shoe. Or, because you are poor and they want nothing to do with you. Shameful. Or your landlord telling you to move cause you 2 months behind in rent? Kids crying, cause there is no food? Come on!!!!!!!! This is America. What spending millions to trillions in a war that should of been done a long time ago is worth it? Hmmmm…how many died? Tell me?!!!!!!! I know….let us give the bank the bailout, while or people lose houses, jobs and wait… to make that better, let us raise the price of goods up. It will make the economy that much better.

Hey…who am i to say. I’m just a dumb father with 4 kids with no job. Thank you.

Not being able to spell and being a fool are far from the same thing! I myself am not a strong speller, Yet I do very well in math/science. I can program a computer and wright programs for computers. I have been to collage and can pick from working from home or getting a normal job, I am only 25 and have more then a 100G in the bank to play with.. Yet I can not spell all that well. So what I find funny is when people like you seem to pick a persons worth and/or think of people as not smart due to the fact the got one word wrong..

And better yet, You have nothing to say about what the real question is or what the post is about, So you have not put forth any answer, Just looking to put others down?

The irony of someone who cannot spell the word “the” calling someone else a fool is funny.
