Explain this?

Post by Trumpton »

If the concept of "poverty" does exist why do the "poor":

1). Have the money to buy the latest sports kit.

2). Have the money to purchase the lastest and fashionable sports trainers.

3). Have the money to have tattoo's engraved over their bodies.

4). Have the money to buy gold jewellery.

5). Have the money to have their hair permed and blonde highlights put in.

6). Have the money to have fake tan's put over their bodies.

7). Have the money to buy copious amounts of alcohol.

8). Have the money to purchase vast quantities of tobacco products.

9). Have the money to purchase drugs.

10). Have the money to purchase weapons.

I could go on.

If these people are allegedly "poor" where to the get the finance to pay for all the above?

Curiously enough, not everyone who is a lower class oik in your view is necessarily poor or impoverished. There will always be those to whom appearance is more important than anything else---and their tattoos (no apostrophe), tans (more than one=plural-no apostrophe), and bling will take priority; just as some whose lives revolve around tobacco, booze, drugs, bingo, scratch cards, whatever, will find the cash to pay for them.

However, there are people living under the poverty line who struggle to keep themselves and their families going; pensioners (oooh, look, another plural---so no fucking apostrophe) that have to choose between food and heating. Don't see them covered in tattoos, shite jewellery or with an orange "tan" to go with their designer sports gear and hairdos.

Just carry on wearing your blinkers. Don't believe the statistics about children below the poverty level, or houses being repossessed.

And the rest.

Some of Wazzakins "poor" drive around in flashy cars - where do they get the money to not only buy the car but also spend the money on upgrading it?

I've never called anyone an "oik".

True - but that can be applied to anyone.

I've lost count as to the times I've asked this question, where do they find this cash?

Apparently that's not the case is it? The list I have offered still goes unexplained. Btw, not all pensioners are allegedly "poor".

> Just carry on wearing your blinkers.

No blinkers on me.

> Don't believe thee statistics about children below the poverty level,

If that were the case why do we see children wearing and utilising many or all the points I made earlier?

You must have a very affluent underclass where you live. Still, you've decreed that poverty doesn't exist, so fine, that's it. Over and done with.

What next?

Darfur? There's plenty food if they bothered to look for it, and the armed gangs are only there to say hello. And if a little bit of raping goes on, well what's the harm.

Iraq? Just a little misunderstanding. Not their fault they pack too many happy fireworks into cars and accidentally crash them into crowds of people en route to parties.

Just keep on the Chav bashing, because Chavs are really what is wrong with the world today. No poverty, no disease, just Chavs.

Fuck, at least Dibble knew how to argue.
