[QUOTE="Overpaid Union Thug, post: 1182236, member: 198"] Spare me your childish name calling and liberal circular logic. And don't dare assume I am a bigot or that I have no experience with being poor. I am in a biracial marriage and have endured being poor and have lived below the poverty line several times. So, I'm more than qualified than most to discuss this. I am also slightly overweight like most Americans. We are the second fastest nation in the world so there is no practical use in comparing fatness between RTW states and union thug states. The only factors that count here are desire and behavior. God gave us all the gift of free will and the ability to make smart decisions. Unfortunately, there are those that don't and those that blame "society" or some other BS sociological nonsense for their plites. No one is forcing anyone to forego looking for second or third jobs to get themselves back on their feet. Or moving to an area with a better job market. No one is forcing people to squirt out a bunch of kids they can't afford to feed. No one is forcing a single parent to feed her kids from the drivethrough window instead of choosing a healthier menu. Or opting to eat beans and rice until their finances are in order. There is no mythical monster named "Society" that holds a gun to peoples heads and forces them to continue to behave in ways that hold them in poverty or obesity. Right now I'm eating a footlong meatball sub on my lunch break. "Society" is nowhere to be found. Its MY fault that I keep eating this unhealthy but tasty garbage and no one else's. [/QUOTE]
