BF2S Forums More New Jersey news.

What do you know about the USA and New Jersey in particular? I did live there.

You need a place to stay and have no money?

You get one. Programs abound. Sorry. No need to start insulting !

In the USA homelessness is a Choice.

I FUCKING KNOW because I've been homeless, floating from one friend's house to another, it was my choice, now I'm making a salary well above average for my age, and that is also my choice, cumsock.


no one puts a gun up to anyone's head and says "fail @ teh life", even the worst off have the opportunity to better themselves, those that are mentally ill (my experience volunteering has shown this to be mostly due to substance abuse, another choice) have access to assistance

and college professors are cockhats that got their diplomas from years of ass-kissing and just use the classroom as a bully pulpit in which to bludgeon their stoned-ass pupils with their ideology

I don't really know what that statement is supposed to mean but, I do know that no person in the United States of America is homeless because there isn't enough houses for the number of people.

P.S. Too bad all my -karma to bubbles went to waste.

And that doesn't tell you something?

kr@cker:  The fact that it was a choice for you doesn't mean it's a choice for others.  And we aren't talking about people who stay at friends houses, we're talking about real homeless people, the ones whose friends don't have homes, either.

Some of us get paid according to our skill and abilities, you should try it sometime.

I'm happy too.  I'm sure there are plenty of jobless people who'd be happy to as well.  Y'Know, if they could get a job.  Minor detail.

Look who associated "ass kissing", "bully", and "cockhats" with "liberal", funny since I didn't mention it,e.

When was the last time you referred to someone on these forums with insults and they weren't Liberal in your eyes?

and yes I was regularly  issued worse grades than a girl that was sitting next to me in a class whose papers were written with the comprehension of a fifth grader and even worse spelling, meanwhile I was editing papers for submission by friends in the journalism dept that rarely were edited at the respective publications,

So then, America doesn't give based on merit.

1* if they had skill and ability, they could get a job, at one point, when I chose to no longer be homeless, I had 3

You had the luxury of having a roof to sleep under, and at least a basic education.  You probably also came from above the bottom rung of the socio-economic ladder.

2* assumption

Pattern recognition.  You have a pattern of characterising Liberals as everything bad under the sun, and Conservatives as God's Chosen.

kr@cker wrote:

3* just the lib professors apparently

But I thought all professors were cockheads?  Besides which, have you ever been a Liberal student in a Conservative professors class?

You could make a contribution to the ongoing discussion about that statement.

Does anyone really believe that people are homeless because there is not a sufficient "home to person Ratio " ? Realy?

Basically the whole Homeless issue was created in 1990 to discredited the G.H.Bush administration.

In 1992 when clinton was elected, it was never a topic in the media again. until 2000

When I worked for the NY Telephone Company, NYC Human Resources was one of my accounts.

They provided Temporary and full time shelters ( its cold outside? You just walk in. A shower a bed are available as are scheduled meals ) all throughout the Area. The next night You merely had to walk back in.

If you need longer term housing and you have to limited income and you are given housing. Some people have been in the same public housing for generations.

Whereas the " Boat People " who came here to flee the North Vietnams Communist purges in the 1970s were never homeless nor did they require public housing for generations, Why? Because they didn't choose to.

If you decided to pickle you brain with alcohol or smoke crack until you crap in your pants and fall asleep in the street it is your choice.

It has nothing to do with being " on the bottom rung of the Socioeconomic ladder " In fact everything in our system caters to those in that category. They are given the first options on new housing Rents with options to buy etc. If an investment group wants to build housing they must build a certain percentage for low income etc.

The list is endless and I know that because I lived there .

Not to mention any four people who are employed at Mc Donald's could become room mates and easily afford a very livable place almost anywhere with the exception of Beverly Hills perhaps

Not to mention the Fact that in Jersey City (1 stop on the PATH Train From NYC ) Rents where 1/5 the price of Manhattans. I know because I lived there . In some cases as low as 425/month You can make that much collecting deposit cans.

Some people are simply insane, these people were commonly institutionalized until the ACLU made it illegal to help them. In this case it was the ACLU's Choice.

owned again! Case 56

Horseman you must of lived in JC a long time ago, because you can't pay 425/month in rent anywhere is JC. 
My thread has been offically hijacked so I am going to stay off topic.

My thought on why the situation in the U.S. is getting worse, as in what use to be good jobs getting thrown away for shitty coruporate jobs. Bottom line is that alot of small business which you use to be able to make a decent living doing have been thrown away by convenience. Where you use to have 10 family own resturants now you have 10 corpurately owned ones. Where a cook use to be able to make 30-50k a year cooking at a decent place, he now makes 10 dollars an hour microwaving food. And this breaks down into just about every retail business out there.

Oh and if your living in a shelter it's not really a home, you can't leave your stuff there or it will get stolen. It's more like a military barraks then a home, and I know, one of my really good friends works at the one that's in the same building as CBGB's/

Apparently new US policy is :

If you can't take care of yourself, fuck you, you might as well kill yourself and we won't give a shit

Real Christian, alrite.
