I know exactly how ConReps feel about poor and underprivileged people. So let's all have a sing-a-long with the Dead Kennedys!
Efficiency and progress is ours once more
Now that we have the Neutron bomb
It's nice and quick and clean and gets things done
Away with excess enemy
But no less value to property
No sense in war but perfect sense at home:
The sun beams down on a brand new day
No more welfare tax to pay
Unsightly slums gone up in flashing light
Jobless millions whisked away
At last we have more room to play
All systems go to kill the poor tonight
Gonna
Kill kill kill kill Kill the poor
Kill kill kill kill Kill the poor
Kill kill kill kill Kill the poor
Tonight
Behold the sparkle of champagne
The crime rate's gone
Feel free again
O' life's a dream with you, Miss Lily White
Jane Fonda on the screen today
Convinced the liberals it's okay
So let's get dressed and dance away the night
While they:
Kill kill kill kill Kill the poor
Kill kill kill kill Kill the poor
Kill kill kill kill Kill the poor
Tonight
"A nation can survive its fools, and even the ambitious. But it cannot survive treason from within. An enemy at the gates is less formidable, for he is known and carries his banner openly. But the traitor moves amongst those within the gate freely, his sly whispers rustling through all the alleys, heard in the very halls of government itself."
Tullius Cicero (106-43 BC)
Gabby, your lyrics reminded me of Spongebob's song:
(Spongebob) It's not about winning, it's about fun
(Plankton) What's that?
(Spongebob) Fun is when you...fun is...it' like...it's kinda...sorta like a...
What is fun?? I...Let me spell it for you
(Spongebob)
F is for friends who do stuff together
U is for u and me
N is for N-e where and N-e time at all
(Sea Creatures) down here in the deep blue sea
(Plankton)
F is for fire that burns down the whole town
U is for Uranium...BOMBS!
N is for no survivors when you're-
(Spongebob) Plankton! Those things aren't what fun is all about!
now do it like this,
F is for friends who do stuff to-
(Plankton) Never! that's completely idiotic!
(Spongebob) Here, Let me help you...
F is for friends who do stuff together
U is for u and me, Try it!
(Plankton) N is for N-e where and N-e time at all
(Sea Creatures) Down here in the deep blue sea

Well, then you should be screaming louder than I should be. After all, your parents have a moral responsibility to insist that someone else give you something they should be giving you even if they can't afford it...or something.

Or use contraception, that's a good idea to prevent unwanted pregnancy and also sexually transmitted diseases. But yes, a woman having a child while she's still at school is going to limit her choices later on.
Yes, working hard at school is good too. I wonder why people don't do it?

Well, a good start would be those with 5-6 children who are on welfare..rather than spending their days looking for a job and/or going to school to get out of that predicament, they live in the slum areas of the city, and spend their days, and welfare checks down at the casino playing slots trying to hit the big jackpot..
How is that not a choice?
Given the title of the thread "Hatred for the Poor", and the fact that this conversation ended up being about abortion and birth control instead, my comment wasn't any farther out of line than anyone elses. In fact, it was just as constructive as your comment pointing out how constructive it wasn't.
