No, it's not. Obama said "Now we have Romnesia!" So I was saying that Scratch has Obamagitis. Meaning that more and more users on Scratch are for Obama. It's like a disease spreading around Scratch!

Ok, you're saying that Obama is a disease. That seriously offends me (as well as all of the other Obama supporters).

No, no, no! I was using the disease part as an example! There are more and more Obama fans on Scratch!

However, that isn't an excuse for calling us a disease. I am almost positive you meant that as an insult.

If you can't afford healthcare and you have a chronic illness like early onset (or just normal) arthritis that makes you unable to work, it just gets worse, which makes you even less able to work, which leads to not being able to afford food and bills, which basically leads to, if not death directly, then at least abject poverty and a really short, painful lifespan.


also it's "prideful," not "proudful"

edit: also genetic defects might cause this if you are poor

It's their own fault that people are poor. If they went to College, studied hard, they most-likely would not be poor. Unless of course they live in a city/state that does not have many jobs available.

Most of the rich people in the world have worked hard, therefore they are successful.

Most of the poor people in the world did not go to college, and/or are lazy. Therefore, they are poor.

Often, it is NOT your own fault if you are poor. Often, the poor people are a result of being poor parents, so they spend all of their time doing stuff like looking for food to survive, and then nobody wants to hire them for a job. It can also be a result of a mental illness, and if you are born with mental problems, that's not your fault. Those people often can't go to college, and they work really hard, but they aren't lazy for the reasons I stated above. HOW DARE YOU tell who are born to poor parents and have to spend all of their time looking for food to survive, and don't have time to worry about college because of that that it's their fault! HOW DARE YOU tell people born with mental illnesses that it's their fault!

How dare you say stuff I never said...

Notice how I stated "Most" multiple times.

LOLOLOL

I believe most poor people in the world CAN'T go to college. It requires a thing called a lot of money. You can't expect even some of the brightest, most hard-working people to get full ride academic scholarships.

Also, it's really difficult to simply get a job right now as well. They could be applying left and right and still get stuck without one.

And why is it hard to get a job? Because Obama's president...

Yes, but if you got a job in high school, you could probably go to a community college.

This involves both getting a job in highschool, and employers being impressed by community college

Some people can get a job without going to college (most of my family). Therefore, a lot of people would be impressed going to even a community college.

A college is better than no college, right?

assuming you even have the money required to attend elementary, middle, and high school in the first place

public school is required to give free education to students, and free transportation, using taxes to fund free education. even homeless and/or orphaned children can go to school.

Public school is inadequate. I haven't learned anything since I went to a G.T. school in 4th grade. The only thing that partially saves me is a small math class that works about 2 grades ahead.

Get me the stats and the source and I will respond.

If you can't cite it, it's wrong.
If you don't cite it, don't post it.
Citations lend reason to your work.
Sourceless talk is no more than hot air.
Facts are needed for factual arguments.

Stop for TEN MINUTES, do a little research, and post a link to a credible source affirming you.
Otherwise, it's meaningless and the opponent need not respond.

I agree.

And it's not just you, alldaykade2847, sir, but most of the people on this thread.

Sorry!

I learned this (among other things) right here from Scratch and from the debate.
