Dear Lord............... RANT
pretty soon its going to come to the point that when i go to a grocery store to buy my family food that i will be shot and my items that i buy with MY hard earned money will go to the crack head behind me with 9 kids that doesnt want to work. when will people start HELPING THEMSELVES instead of waiting on hand outs. i hate to see where my country will be in 10 years. rant off
I know a lot of you are probably with the "trendy" crowd and dont believe in God, but its time to start praying for our future.
Re: Dear Lord............... RANT
I'd like to see some stats, the ratio of wage-earning households to non-wage earning in SWVA or Wise County, etc.
Just curious.
Re: Dear Lord............... RANT
Rocky- welcome to adulthood:D ELP, I saw a study the other day that said the ratio for the entire Appalachian region had been 33%/66% since the origional studies were done in the 60s. The study was done by someone talking about bringing more jobs to the coal regions and if there had ever been any success, since the first president took a trip thru South East Kentucky.

Hey Rocky let's turn this into a rant thread (BTW nice rant man-totally agree):
Nothing in the world like escorting a remorseless murderer to the surgeon's table or the doctor's office for medical care that you yourself cannot afford,but have to watch him get help,and YOU and the rest of the non-piece of lazy trash in this world who bust their humps for a living have to pay for. :mad: NIIIIIIICE!!!
Re: Dear Lord............... RANT
I doubt if you'll find too many crack-heads around here. They have been over-run by the pill-heads and meth fiends.
If about 5 or 6 local doctors were rounded up and given about 20 years each it would slow down just a little.
I actually know of more than one case of a pill-head being truly astounded when told by someone else that they don't do any pills. Yes, it's that bad, the pill heads are in the majority or at least it's bad enough that they really do believe that they are.
Re: Dear Lord............... RANT
Busting just one of the doctors responsible for passing out pills would do more to slow the problem than busting 150 street users.

ahh crack heads/pill heads/dope heads/ all the same to me. i just dont understand why people dont want to work "well actually i do everything gets handed to them when they dont" but still this crap is getting ridiculous. I really dont want to pay for peoples healthcare that "cant get it" get a ****ed job is all i can say. now of course this excludes disabled people. I personally know of people that are "too overweight to work" and "too alcoholic to work" it kills me.
Re: Dear Lord............... RANT
The people you are talking about were already receiving free health-care. Most people who go bankrupt due to medical bills have a job, thus the bankruptcy. Most people who went bankrupt due to medical bills had some medical insurance (which ran and hid when they were suppose to do what they had been paid to do).
The two subjects have no real correlation.

i lost you somewhere, i wasnt talking about anyone in particular and was using the grocery thing as an example, go back and read it. i said one day they are going to shoot people who pay for groceries so they can give them to people that dont want to pay for groceries.

Well, I was following you okay. You were complaining about all the druggies on government handouts at the grocery store getting free food while you had to spend hard EARNED money. You later said that you didn't want to also pay for these peoples healthcare, and that they should go get a job to pay for both their food and their own healthcare.
I pointed out that around here most of those druggies are using drugs supplied to them directly or indirectly by local doctors who are paid by already existing government programs and that the working poor were the ones being shafted not only at the grocery store but also at the doctors office. In other words you were paying for their pills even before last night, but the lady who was waiting on you at the grocery store was doing without insurance because her job doesn't supply it and she makes far too little to buy it.

If you are making enough money per year that you are going to have to pay more into healthcare under the bill that was passed yesterday, I'll gladly trade places with you..cuz if that's the case, you are bringing in roughly 6 times what I make..and I bring in $40,000 per year. Now if you aren't bringing in that kind of income, you have no reason to complain cuz you'll benefit from this and actually have someone else's hard earned money subsidizing part of you and your family's healthcare in the long run. Guess I didn't realize how many folks around here bring in a cool quarter mil per year. Where was all this "Backwoods B!tchin'" when Lil' Bush was raping the country and putting us in the position we are in now?

i *****ed as much with bush as ever. what you are missing, is that we need to give people more opportunities to help themselves instead of just giving handouts. thats where im going. you give a man a fish, you feed him for a day, you teach a man to fish, you feed him for a lifetime.

and another thing, who said anything about the bill? i was talking about these people getting free healthcare that pretty much supports their drug habit. i can see you are leaning to the left apparently because i didnt even make mention of a healthcare bill. hell the only problem i have with it is that they are going to force people to get insurance and some people already cant afford to live as it is.

They will be offered subsidies if they can't afford it.

Well, if you'll read between the lines, this goes a long way to ensure that you don't have to pay for those folks "free healthcare" anymore..cuz now you'll have folks essentially paying for a good deal of yours...cuz if you are having a hard time "affording to live as it is" you are one of the millions the subsidies the government is providing is intended to help. Common sense tells you though that if you made a post over this past weekend concerning healthcare that it would be construed as a post concerning the bill as well. The thing that gets me is this:.In this area you have the majority who complain about aid that goes to families. But the same folks will live in government subsidized housing, spend food stamps, use WIC benefits, collect unemployment benefits, accept heating assistance, and go to the ER with no insurance and accept having it written off as "Charity". If the folks with this view want to refrain from being hypocrites, they wouldn't accept ANY of those things, cuz then they are either accepting taxpayer dollars to pay THEIR bills or allowing someone else to pay their bills. Sad thing is, most are too ignorant to know the difference.
