The average income of the rural poor in sub-Saharan Africa is only $14 per person per month.

Thats pretty well below the 150 per month. I know, the average American would die from lack of money.

Guys lets play nice...........We each have our respectable opinions...but lets not offend each other....plus its Friday...time to blaze one up........ :rasta:
 
Since, Im sure you dont understand how you did that, let me explain.


I stated that the only possible places to survive on such little money would be a 3rd world country. Sub-Saharan African fits that to a T. you then said the average American would die from lack of money, thus solidifying my points.

Thank you. You lose again.

It's called the working poor...
And I was making a figurative point, which you totally missed in your completely literal interpretation of my remarks and your zeal to congratulate yourself for your paycheck and work-week and all...

And I'd also like to hear Clorox explain how this country of fat fucks is currently being spurred to physical fitness by the ridiculously incongruous salaries professional athletes are being paid.

If the popularity of sports is directly related to the physical fitness of a country, shouldn't we already be a land full of Jim Ficks's? Clearly, professional sports doesn't accomplish shit in terms of getting people to be active. Not to mention, you can get physically fit just by jogging or swimming. Team sports are not the end-all be-all of physical fitness anyways, as a fair amount of time is spent making plays or changing fields, which doesn't exactly add up to a full cardio workout.
 
If I wanted to congratulate myself, I simply would have explained that I bring home about 90k per year working as a quality inspector in the heat treat department for the only steel mill in North America creating bullet proof and blast absorbing armor for tactical armored vehicles. We are also the only mill creating armor that has reached a top ballistics rating in the world. Not to mention we are the only mill in history to have a direct armor contract with any military.

But I didnt want to do that.

I also imagine you are young, with few bills and very little debt. You dont own a home, or support a family. You probably still live with parents or with friends.

All of this is fine and I dont mean to imply there is anything wrong with any of that, I was in the exact same spot in my younger years. However, that is a far cry from "trying to run a home on 1,800 PER YEAR"

I am young (19) but I do own a home, and I have no debt. Don't support a family probably won't for a long time. I work 40 hrs a week to make that 12k a year. I work at a gas station and I make 7.50 an hour, the government takes about 40% of my money otherwise i'd make a decent 20k a year

What a dumb fuck Canseco is...

He doesn't even understand that people have to run households off of $18,000 or even $1,800 dollars a year.

Go cry to someone that fucking cares, you hack! We're all grinding everyday to make a living while this punk bitch hits a few balls around a few hours a day and goes home to a life of luxury.

Personally, our country's love of sports has gotten out of hand anyways.
I've never felt that professional athletes even deserve a fraction of what they're making.

School teachers get next to nothing for trying to develop the minds of kids, while many professional asshole-letes offer nothing to the good of our society, except to remind us that aren't shit unless you can hit a ball and run fast.

Fuck sports, fuck snitches, and fuck Canseco.
I hope he enjoys his new Frigidare cardboard palace...
atleast someone here is all-about being in touch with reality.

your forgetting key parts to the story though. dont put a political spin on things....

He added that a couple of divorces cost him $7 million or $8 million.

Canseco said his top earnings year was $6 million and that his financial situation obviously is different than most people who are losing their homes.

Canseco said:
Like I said, my situation was a little more different than most. I decided to just let it (the house) go, but in most cases and most families, they have nowhere else to go.

hes walking away, hes not broke. hes just going to buy a 'cheap' house...
 
how did you buy a home so young, earning so little and assume no debt?

And how are you losing so much to taxes? People with 349,500 yearly earnings are only in the 35% tax bracket, unless Hilrod or Obama win.

He gave up his mansion in Encino, he owns several other places.
 
I know a few people that feed their whole family for a year for the cost of a box of 30-30 shells, their time, and a hunting license (if they have the money for it that year). They are too proud to take govt handouts and they are dirt poor. Poverty is real. Jose is not broke by any means. He just cant afford the life he was used to. Most of us are in the same boat, or not far from it, during this current economic downturn. Its going to be a scary ride for most of us. Until things turn around.

As far as being a snitch and whistle blower, he is both. A snitch is a snitch period. You know what they do to snitches in jail. I guess he thought his books would sell better. The thing he forgot is the immediacy of media attention these days. You are hot for 1 week and the next week no one remembers who you are. I have noticed that if you are not a writer by profession, when (so called wealthy) people need money they write books. He didnt really care about steriods in baseball. He used them himself. He just got to the point where he needed the money and decided that an expose would line his pockets. And it backfired.
 
To KnottyDollar. You have told us where you work. You have told us what position you work. We know your approximate salary. And we know what dept. you work in. There cant be more than 3-4 people in your position. And we know that you smoke weed. I figure maybe 1-2 would test positive for MJ.

If any investigator for your military contract wanted to find out who you are it would be fairly easy, if they read your post. And your company would damned sure lose that contract. You and a lot of others (that you dont seem to care about) would lose their jobs.

It really sucks that you are a quality inspector for our Armed Forces. You are obviously an a55hole. It makes me shudder that you are an inspector for products that are supposed to keep our troops safe.

Remember from WW2 "Loose lips sink ships."

Dude loosers like you are always complaining about athletes just cuz u got some inferiority complex. Professional athletes bring joy to thousands of MEN and some women (like yourself) every day.

I know your jeleous that thousands attend college football games while few turn up to your goth poetry sessions but thats the way shit is.

you f'ing looser.
peace
