So America is perfect?
Pointing out the perceived problems of the place is tantamount to expressing a desire to live elsewhere?

Originally posted by pritybettaMost of the people who go hungry reside in cities. They are abused and/or neglected children, the elderly, homeless, drunks and drug addicts. As appalling as this is, the fact remains that there are plenty of charitable organizations/missions that feed the poor as well as a myriad of welfare programs from the state and the federal government. There's really no reason for any one to go hungry in America.
And some say we don't need guns. 😉 These people have their guns to provide them food because, I assume, that they do not want government hand outs and have to pay higher taxes. If we had our own land, that is what we would be doing. Growing our own vegies and hunting or raising our own meat.
Edit: Though there are some that go hungry here in the U.S. ...[text shortened]... and could not find work nor could we get help from the government because we had no address.

Originally posted by der schwarze RitterIt would appear that the biggest suckers of the government teat would be those corporations getting massive bailouts, no?

No regulation by the government wanted but no qualms in putting the corporate hand out for a bailout.
