That's why it's in the interests of our government to push trade deals and work visa quotas in a direction that best benefits the citizens of America that they should be serving in the first place.
I can think of at least a dozen guys older than you who would call you the ignorant one. You think i just woke up one day and decided to be ignorant? Or do you think that maybe people can reach different conclusions when presented with the same facts?
You'd better be able to prove you've got the most perfect brain in the world, other wise all you've got is your opinion. You've lived such a rich life that you need to spend hours a day being condescending to people on slashdot. You've got it all figured out and you cant even convince one guy that you arent a smug prick. Way to go, buddy.
So you've got a woe story. So do I. So does everyone. Guess what buddy, your opinion is just that. How about you come down off your high horse and stop acting like your opinion is the one true enlightened path. Just because you think you're older than me. Is time what's gonna cure my ignorance? Another decade or two is gonna overwrite everything I've learned up to now and suddenly I'm gonna agree with a guy who's trying his absolute best to come across as the smuggest blowhard in the entire slashdot comment section? I've also been here for years, and while I don't think you deserve that title yet, I can clearly see you are striving to uphold a longstanding tradition of unlikable, opinionated blowhards who seem to think they're god's gift to Earth.
I'm still waiting for you to explain how you could only afford cheap shitty food and not cheap healthy food like the rest of the world tries to eat. The non-anglosphere world doesnt get so desperate to pig out on crappy mystery meat hot dogs. They eat lots of vegetables, rice. Even bugs. Scorpions arent bad. They have plagues of scorpions in florida, I'll bet you can eat those giant rainbow grasshoppers too. My parents told me they ate cat before i was born! I hope I never have to.
You just dont get it. You think you have all the answers because you've had a tough life and you're so old. You have no wisdom, only bitterness.
So are you using an alt account to upvote all of your comments here? I'm pretty sure nobody else is following us this deep into a personal discussion, so it must be all you. That's probably why you make sure to smugly get the last word over and over.
Checking my Cambodian privilege, yes sir. And just what would that be worth in America? My family didn't even have privilege back in Cambodia. My parents were barely able to make it here, my aunt and uncle did not even make it. My Grandparents were dead before I was born.
My father swore that he would never let his family live in conditions like they had experienced in Cambodia, and he kept his word. My father worked 3 jobs and my mother worked 2. We've been poor, sure. I've learned from his example and that's why I have a trade. I did not waste time or money with college.
Without critiquing your skills as a parent, you further exemplify the type of stuck up person that i dislike. The one who loses a job and then sits around with unemployment waiting for the perfect job to float in. My father swore that we would never live with things like sewage and garbage again, and he didn't need a high paying white collar job to make good on that promise.
Maybe if you'd had someone like my father to look up to when you grew up, you may have learned a thing or two about keeping your family out of the gutter.
I find it hard to believe that any social worker would ever consider hot dogs and chips to be more nutritious than a diet of 80% fresh vegetables. I just said cabbage as an example but you are being obtuse on purpose it seems. There are plenty of other cheap vegetables than cabbage. I see collard greens for 75 cents a bunch.
The more I think about what you said, the more it burns me up. You strike me as someone who has never really been hungry, but you still have all the answers and anyone who doesn't agree with you is just ignorant.
While on the subject of working for your food, how about gardening? Sunlight is free. You know what another excellent thing is? Community gardens. You probably dont even know that EBT cards can be used to purchase things like seeds, for growing your own food.
There are no families in america that need do "pick through piles of refuse" for their next meal. No one gets fat BECAUSE they're poor. They get fat because they make poor lifestyle choices, which might also have something to do with making them poor.
No matter how you stack it, when you compare doritos to cabbage by weight and price, doritos are fucking expensive, aren't they?
Yeah, or the actual college kids in Allston who dive for dumpster bagels because it's cool.
Long story short, nobody needs to dig through trash to survive in america. No food bank would turn away people who were literally starving.
While junk food is certainly cheap, premade food is absolutely more expensive than simple, uncombined ingredients. I had to adapt an 80% cabbage diet that for over a month once, and it wasnt because i was trying to be healthy. But it was actually healthy whether i liked it or not. A little boring, but with some common sense and a few different ingredients, you can make all kinds of flavors.
No, the most common factor for malnutrition in developed countries is not poverty, it is laziness or a sense of entitlement.
Just take your -1 and like it. it'll get cancelled out later. Look at me, i do almost nothing but troll, and even I have positive karma now! go figure.
They should just start airing the American Top Gear on BBC. I'm sure the brits would love the witty comedy of... whathisname, and the way he's always... well, you know. they also have that other guy. HE'S a hoot. I think. i forget what he said but i heard it made a few people chuckle. or maybe the main guy said it. I dunno, i couldnt tell what made any of them different or why the producers thought they had good chemistry.
When you say "the Industry" here, are you aware that the beef/livestock industry is probably far more infamous for lobbying and biased, overly optimistic studies?
It is? I've been coming here since 2002. I dont remember anyone turding on gun ownership. I would think most of the crusty old beards here would right at home with the cold, unyielding machined reliability of guns. Along with the personal responsibility of owning such machines that are every bit as lethal as a car.
How could both those things not be right up the alley of everyone here?
Since when have slashdotters ever clamored for the government to protect them from themselves?
That means 100% of the reasons people vote for her are harmful. Adding sexism and unrepentant hatred of the US Constitution to the mix certainly doesn't help.

I love trying to show comments to friends, only to have them be ordered completely differently for everyone viewing. How does this help anyone?
Wow hi thanks. Thanks for greeting me. Happy hello to you too!
No farting in the new world order!
And the Biggest Shill of the Day award goes to you!

He's figuring America is starting to over live its usefulness. Getting ready to jump ship and head for the next up and comer.
I've had enough of your ramblings, crazy man.

Hey i just got an idea... Clarkson vs Trump. You know you want to see it.
No amount of binge eating will bolster your IQ, either.
Ah, the old "i" word. You folks sure love slinging it at anyone who disagrees with you on sociopolitical viewpoints.
Clearly the only reason anybody would possibly entertain different ideas is that they just havent been as enlightened as you, right?
Yeah, inept captive bolt gun users and halal/kosher animal torturers need to get their acts together.
When you say "the Industry" here, are you aware that the beef/livestock industry is probably far more infamous for lobbying and biased, overly optimistic studies?
Noooooooooooooo!!!

That Dianne Feinstein is the epitome of evil, unamerican political criminals?
Armor piercing incendiary.
Thanks.
Or least secure?
