If poor people were just unlucky across the board, you'd find almost no correlation between the factors I listed above with poverty. Sorry, but reality is, if you are chronically poor you're probably a dumbass who makes consistently poor choices. I don't feel bad for you and I hope your life is as miserable as can be.

sleeper;1518933 wrote:Also your article just proves my point. People with low income make a poor choice not to finish college as well as a poor choice in going to a poor school.

Thanks!

One reason is the poor often go to lower-tier schools, said Tim Smeeding, the director for the Institute for Research on Poverty at the University of Wisconsin-Madison. These institutions often have bigger classes and offer less individual attention and guidance.

Also, their parents don't have the financial means to aid their children.

But that's cool, shitting on poor people is an amiable quality and you should feel good about yourself.

Cutting something up is a lot different than all of the work that goes into roasting a chicken. It really is a good amount of work. The pre-cooked ones are much easier and are really versatile. I don't understand the harm in them being allowed. If someone decides that an extra dollar or two are worth it because of the hassle, so be it.

College, especially today, does not equal wealth or even comfortable.

What we need is free birth control for everyone; which is why the only "charity" I donate to is Planned Parenthood because the world needs more women on the pill. Or we could just do the religious zealot way and say "Sex is bad, don't have it" because that's proven to work.
