I think you are writing from Russia or something like that, where you
mix hardcore capitalism with welfare for those who own homes. How's
that welfare working for those who rent, or the homeless?

For the same money we pay the homeless can't we have them taken care
of? You are not feeding drunks and junkies, are you?

Funny you see more hobos riding bikes than normal people.

Early attempts to fix the homeless problem:

'Tudor attempts to tackle the problem originate during the reign of
Henry VII. In 1495, Parliament passed a statute ordering officials to
seize "[a]ll such vagabonds, idle and suspected persons living
suspiciously and then so taken and set in stocks, there to remain by
the space of three days and three nights to have none other sustenance
but bread and water, and there after the said three days and three
nights, to be had out and set at large and then to be commanded to
avoid the town."[18] No remedy to the problem of poverty was offered
by this; it was merely swept from sight, or moved from town to town.
Moreover, no distinction was made between vagrants and the jobless;
both were simply categorised as "sturdy beggars", to be punished and
moved on.'

It seems we are still trying to push them out but only the wealthy
succeed in kicking them out of their communities (usually Gated
Communities).

Wrong, as always.

> How's that welfare working for those who rent,

Works very well indeed. One fella I knew well was in that situation,
used to be an accountant, but ended up with his entire income being
his govt pension, living in a very decent modern rented flat.

I had a close look at his finances at one time when this country was
proposing to have a GST, because he wasnt clear how that would
affect him. Turned out that it didnt affect him at all and I was amazed
at the percentage of his pension that went on cigarettes and grog.

He eventually died of old age without needing a nursing home or long hospital stay etc.

> or the homeless?

They do fine. We're actually stupid enough to pay substantial money to
kids who just claim that they have been abused at home and who just
want to get a govt handout. They are entitled to govt housing and rent
when that isnt available and some of the worst of them choose to be
'homeless' basically so they can do what they like instead of what their
pathetic excuses for 'parents' tell them to do. The 'parents' are mostly
those whose entire income has been govt welfare for decades.

> For the same money we pay the homeless can't we have them taken care of?

Thats what all modern first and second world countrys do.

A very high percentage of them are actually loonys who used to be kept in locked
wards and who basically prefer to 'live' like that than in a normal house or flat etc.

> You are not feeding drunks and junkies, are you?

Thats precisely what the bulk of them are.
With some of the charitys providing free food etc.

We're actually stupid enough to pay our welfare in cash, no food stamps
etc, and the worst of the 'homeless' just spend it on grog and drugs.

> Funny you see more hobos riding bikes than normal people.

Fuck all hobos ride bikes, they mostly walk.

=v= Actually there is no shortage of fear. Fear and ignorance
are, after all, crucial ingredients in any sort of bigotry.
That said, "-phobia" does not necessarily mean fear. It's a
clinical term to refer to an irrational aversion, which is as
accurate a description as you'll find.

=v= But hey, who needs to think about stuff anyway? There's
a big sale down at the mall of No Fear T-shirts with hostile
remarks written in jaggy lettering! That'll show 'em.

All four of the major carriers offer unlimited 3G on the handset (AT&T
has brought it back, though unofficially, and Verizon dropped their
150MB metered plan). The 5GB limit is for laptop connect devices. They
prohibit tethering to the 3G handset (in their terms and conditions)
though many people do it anyway. Virgin does not have a 5GB limit on
their laptop connect device, but their 3G network is slow and the
coverage is limited.

Billy, I assure the best revolutions are yet to come. Forget about
Chavez and all wannabe lions. The monkeys will be free, the marijuana
will be legal, and the bicycle will be the vehicle of choice. The
streets will be safe, not wild like in Caracas or Mexico. And we will
bring experts from Curitiba.

"REVOLUTIONS FOR THE PLANET"

I just bought a bike with that slogan and nobody will stop those
revolution. Burning oil is part of the problem, not the solution.
Check these names out: JALAPENO REVOLUTION (spicy!), AREPA REVOLUTION
(MOIST, HOT CORN PATTY).

No bullshit. Look at this beauty...

Hi guys, few days back, i was struggling with paper issues. I lost
some very important documents due to poor paper management services.
But then, i subscribed to services of 'kleeto' and submitted my
documents under the supervision of 'kleeto' and now, i am tension free
from all the paper issues. And recently, when i needed some important
documents, all i had to do is to make a phone call and my documents
were delivered at my doorsteps. If any of you interested in giving
yourself a peaceful life, visit this link - kleeto.in
