America Sucks Options

[*Steven*]

Should people who think America sucks so bad stay in America? I personally think that if you hate the country so much, and all you do is bitch and moan about it, then you should pack yo bags :)

That or try to do something about it.

i agree with steven, i was referring mostly to the people who don't try

and if they were born into poverty then that sucks, and i agree they should get help, but just because u were born into it isn't a reason to just quit and accept it. my dad was born into poverty, and now he's not, so i think its possible to be done. staying in school would be a good start, u said more and more black men are dropping out of high school. i'm a black man who didn't drop out of high school, that's their own choice, by doing that they are setting themselves up for poverty and not being able to get a good job.

SoEffinMajor i STILL want to know, IF u had to be poor, what country would u want to be poor in

i've lived in jamaica and i've spent time visiting jamaica, so if i had 2 be poor i'd live in jamaica...i lived with family members who suffered from poverty in the country and i know one thing is for sure, you don't have to go hungry. u may not have fancy clothes or more than one pair of shoes, but people are always willing to help you out by giving food...u know someone who grows breadfruit, or has a mango tree and they're willing to share with u...in jamaica you aren't treated like a poor person, you're treated like a person who needs help...and there is a big difference

people can get free food at shelters too

3. nobody is willing to give anyone without proper education and credentials a job paying more than minimum wage, no matter how hard they work. this is america, remember?

wouldn't most people would get a raise before long and they wouldn't make minimum wage anymore? u know when u drop out of high school that this is how it works and ur going to have a harder time

1. have u ever been in a shelter? people looking down on you, treating you like your less than human? have you ever eaten at a shelter? do you know what that shit tastes like? how many year round shelters do you know of? people don't just eat on thanksgiving and christmas, ya know?

2. u don't know what it's going to be like later on if you're poor...you just want to leave where you are at that moment...and you're willing to do whatever you have to do to get out that space...you're not thinking about tomorrow...f**k tomorrow, when you don't know what you're going to eat today...

3. do you realize how long it takes to get a raise, at any job? you can't be serious...honestly, you just cant be
