Care to elaborate who those 6 are, and how you got those numbers?

While I agree, the poverty line here in the US is slightly higher than many countries. I've seen things in Egypt, Mexico, India, Africa etc. that are on a whole other scale.

I meant to type South Africa. Johannesburg is where I saw some pretty bad areas. The ghettos from Apartheid are still everywhere, just like you see in District 9. Egypt's poverty was of a much different type. Cairo is mo

Ohh man, the things I saw in India. I almost died in a hospital there of an unknown lung infection that took 6 months to recover from! This was after 3 days of being there....

I saw a mother and child with no teeth, sleeping next to the rotting corpse of a dead cow, down the street from the office I was at in India. I tipped a delivery guy the equivalent of $2 for delivering me food, and my In

I've been all over Florida, but I've never really seen that bad. What areas are you referring to? Egypt and India are really the ones where you will see some bad areas. Mexico has some really bad areas as well. The area

I think he might be lying. Nobody puts cookies in their pants pocket.
Replying to CosmicDustbunny · I used to say this, and being a middle-class white girl made me doubt I'd ever have a reason to say otherwise. Then a few years ago I got pulled over and told I had run a red ligh…
I was driving down the freeway on Thanksgiving one year, going the speed limit. There was a cop about half a mile in front of me. Suddenly he slammed on his brakes. I changed lanes and passed him, then he pulled me over.
Replying to slybrows · He should have said that it's already de-criminalized if you're white *in Chicago*. The cops here are pretty. fucking. racist.
All the Chicago cops are pretty? Damn!
Replying to [deleted] · This. Hell, my grandfather was in the hospital after a stroke for three weeks before passing and his total bill for everything was ~$17,000,000. Yep, that's not exorbitant at all…
While I agree medical costs are out of control, I have a hard time believing that your grandfather's 3 weeks stay cost $17 million!
Replying to torpidnotion · The generational theory doesn't take into consideration the proliferation of technology. It's especially true that in the past 20 years, technology has shortened this cycle. Ther…
This is what I was thinking. Perhaps the cycles will shift or change entirely, given our new ability to transfer knowledge faster. Why do the cycles always have to be the same, or happen at all, regardless of innovation
