It's all a product of poverty and the war ln drugs. Most of us are not even educated what to do with money to make money. Then drugs advertise and escape, or a lifestyle with possible income. The rich do drugs and stay rich. The poor do drugs and 90% don't know shit about them cause D.A.R.E. is stupid.

Don't be put off by the poverty in those pics you posted, as some of the most beautiful people I've met are living in abject poverty. Educate yourself and have a bit of a read about what goes on there.The human spirit is a beautiful thing. I'll link a short article. Here's a taste ''' Often illiterate parents are making an investment in the future. And local entrepreneurs are developing schools that far surpass the quality of local public education. ''''''''

Using huff and puff as a source costs you any claim to any point.

I personally live for Hillary's anti-gun speeches that have 20-30 armed secret service guys in the background. Or the Greenwich, CT anti gunners that live in gated communities with home security companies on call 24/7. Tell me when in the history of humanity did being unarmed help someone?

If people would rather hold their hand out and beg for money instead of work they don't deserve help they need to get off their lazy ass and take care of themselves. True poverty is like you see in socialist countries or places like North Korea. Im from the midwest and when I visited Southern California i was shocked how many people choose to be homeless many of them actually love the life.

I suggest reading the comments in the news section at RT.com, Russia Today.

Most of the people posting type real good English. Either they're Western or the Internet world speaks fluent colloquial (street) English, even in Russia.

I wonder how much of that English learning is from watching movies ?

Anyway, the US is not popular world-wide because of its military actions.

But in the Western corporate world, it's all flag-waving and people embracing politically correct themes.

It makes for a strange contrast.

let's see
suppose you want to go to this year's super bowl - armed or unarmed?
you're not getting in armed
being a legislator in congress? generally an unarmed job
most better work situations are unarmed operations, not all of course
being unarmed is a trend, civilization is going in that direction
unarmed nations may be a ways off, but seems to be the trend

I guess anytime you don't want people to be killed would be a good time to not have a gun.

Allow me to ask what great cause is accomplished by neglecting citizens.

I would absolutely hate to see someone get shot while near my house


I own a couple long guns and a couple handguns. total of 4..
They are mostly for personal protection...
Occasionally used for varmints, as I live way back in the woods.

Not a single person has died, or even been shot towards because of my guns...
but I have them in case you decide to come here with bad intent...

that said, there have been 2 occasions in my long life, where I know that merely walking out my door with a loaded shotgun in my hands has prevented something bad from happening..

How about...Keep a job and don't attack or burglarize people. Chances are you will not be homeless and wont get shot either. Win win !
