Chapinator_X Posted September 21, 2017 Posted September 21, 2017 And even then the iPhones don't work for people with AT&T cause they fucked us over when the storm hit

wacky1980 Posted September 21, 2017 Posted September 21, 2017 no, we're not. you might feel fucked over by the 1%, and that's understandable. but you're not fucking starving. your kid is going to school. you have an actual house, with air conditioning and electricity and regulated, clean water. you have a job that pays more than $5 a day. don't.
scoobdog Posted September 21, 2017 Posted September 21, 2017 no, we're not. you might feel fucked over by the 1%, and that's understandable. but you're not fucking starving. your kid is going to school. you have an actual house, with air conditioning and electricity and regulated, clean water. you have a job that pays more than $5 a day. don't. Yes, but millions of Americans do not have one or more of those "luxuries".
Mewn Posted September 21, 2017 Posted September 21, 2017 we are the third planet from the sun, so yeah
mthor Posted September 21, 2017 Posted September 21, 2017 Yes, but millions of Americans do not have one or more of those "luxuries". True, however, in America, it is extremely unlikely that your child will starve to death in front of you.

scoobdog Posted September 21, 2017 Posted September 21, 2017 True, however, in America, it is extremely unlikely that your child will starve to death in front of you. You sure about that? I suppose the problem is that we're used to the idea that starving to death looks like an African child with sunken features and bones visible through the skin. In reality, starvation here appears as children who outwardly look healthy or even fat while still suffering from malnutrition.
wacky1980 Posted September 21, 2017 Posted September 21, 2017 Yes, but millions of Americans do not have one or more of those "luxuries". the only thing on that list that could possibly be construed as a "luxury" would be air conditioning. and the lack of it does not dump a person into 3rd world status. hell, in many places, it's not even needed or wanted. as for the rest of the items. yes, we have homeless. yes, flint mi was a thing. but those are outliers. if you're going to try arguing that this country is / should be considered "3rd world" then you may as well stop now, because i'm not going to entertain such juvenile bullshit. unless you're just playing devil's advocate. which is probably more likely, but still earns the same response.
wacky1980 Posted September 21, 2017 Posted September 21, 2017 i mean, if you wanted to get technical, "3rd world" technically means any country who didn't align with either russia or the usa during the cold war. but no one really uses the term like that anymore. imo, 3rd world would essentially be any country with a large population, little/no industrialized output, and living conditions considered "substandard" by a majority.
wacky1980 Posted September 21, 2017 Posted September 21, 2017 Air conditioners are an odd one. Many people in rich countries like France and Germany still don't use them. Though that'll probably change with the climate. i added it because she's sitting there complaining about living under these horrible conditions, while not breaking a sweat on the comfy couch in her single-residence property. or at her job, which she's already stated earns her well above minimum wage.

Not to mention swiping left or right on her phone lining up fuckbois
wacky1980 Posted September 21, 2017 Posted September 21, 2017 Not to mention swiping left or right on her phone lining up fuckbois let's be honest.

wacky1980 Posted September 21, 2017 Posted September 21, 2017 *Rubs temple* Flint still is a thing, Dumbfuck, and that's not the only place with poisoned drinking water in America. jfc you're an annoying little shit.

In reality, starvation here appears as children who outwardly look healthy or even fat while still suffering from malnutrition. Notice I said "to death." Obesity being as prevalent as it is, there are a lot of Americans who are malnourished
DragonSinger Posted September 21, 2017 Posted September 21, 2017 jfc you're an annoying little shit. You're the one who chooses to sound ignorant in almost every post you make.
discolé monade Posted September 21, 2017 Posted September 21, 2017 Not to mention swiping left or right on her phone lining up fuckbois are we entirely sure this happening?
wacky1980 Posted September 21, 2017 Posted September 21, 2017 You're the one who chooses to sound ignorant in almost every post you make. oh, i get it now. you wanna establish my fan club or something, because you're admitting to post stalking me. well that's nice.
DragonSinger Posted September 21, 2017 Posted September 21, 2017 oh, i get it now. you wanna establish my fan club or something, because you're admitting to post stalking me. well that's nice. Yes, I'm stalking your posts by clicking on a thread made by Fuggs. Or maybe saying "flint was a thing" when this hit the news today just made you sound like a tool. https://www.washingtonpost.com/news/wonk/wp/2017/09/21/flints-lead-poisoned-water-had-a-horrifyingly-large-effect-on-fetal-deaths-study-finds/?utm_term=.b8ac778c8642

wacky1980 Posted September 21, 2017 Posted September 21, 2017 Yes, I'm stalking your posts by clicking on a thread made by Fuggs. also, yes you clicked on a thread made by fuggs, but instead of responding to her, all you've done is post your insulting bullshit directly at me. so yeah, stalking my posts seems closer to accurate than whatever you're claiming to be doing here.
stilgar Posted September 21, 2017 Posted September 21, 2017 jfc you're an annoying little shit. She is annoying because you decided that Flint wasn't a thing anymore? Go fuck yourself wacky.
wacky1980 Posted September 21, 2017 Posted September 21, 2017 She is annoying because you decided that Flint wasn't a thing anymore? Go fuck yourself wacky. well, y'know, i do have the power to decide when a thing is and isn't a thing anymore. sure. i hear secretary is still open, if you're looking to fill a position.
stilgar Posted September 21, 2017 Posted September 21, 2017 Awwww, did we hurt your feelings because we told you that water in Flint is still fucked and that there are many places in this country with fucked water? Poor poor wacky. We were so mean to you.
wacky1980 Posted September 21, 2017 Posted September 21, 2017 Awwww, did we hurt your feelings because we told you that water in Flint is still fucked and that there are many places in this country with fucked water? Poor poor wacky. We were so mean to you. not really sure where you're going with this. but please continue. i need to take a shit, and my curiosity will keep me from spending the next 15 minutes looking at memes.
wacky1980 Posted September 21, 2017 Posted September 21, 2017 As I sit here taking a shit, I have come to realize that telling you I'm taking a shit was probably not wise. This is the type of thing that stalkers take note of. Maybe even fap to, I dunno. I don't want to be an enabler for whatever perverse rituals you and sorce are conjuring up.

The deaths in that Florida nursing home were directly attributable to lack of air conditioning, so yes it is still considered a necessity even if it isn't always available. And no, I'm not arguing that this country is a third-world country, just that the metric you used to chastise Fuggs could easily be refuted. Unfortunately, we don't measure the wealth and status of a country based on how its poor people live, as you can plainly see.
scoobdog Posted September 21, 2017 Posted September 21, 2017 Notice I said "to death." Obesity being as prevalent as it is, there are a lot of Americans who are malnourished It doesn't matter how they die, just that they are being dying because of malnourishment. That is the whole point.
