Default Re: Groceries on credit?

I am sorry but I have to agree with Greedy on this one....Honestly, there is no such thing as a poor person...I mean, what exactly is the definition of a poor person anyway? I was 'poor' growing up, but I still had food and a place to live. I lived in a Motel growing up, on a poor street called Fremont in Vegas...then when I moved to Utah I was a teen so my initial jobs were not good but they got better, my parents jobs got better, my living arrangement got better....I know this may not sound kind but I do not have sympathy for poor people because really they got there SOMEHOW. You cannot blame your Envoirment nor the System....

There are people out there who take advantage of it. I believe everyone here has discussed the supposedly 'poor' beggar making tons of money begging on the streets. If there is a will, then there is always a way.

I lived in Mexico for two years. We worked, I had a roof over my head and some days we had no money and made homemade flour tortillas to eat. Is that poor? What is poor? I have no idea, I really do not believe in the meaning of poor.

DEFINITION according to Dictionary.com

THAT Is POOR? I think that is lazy. There are so many Resources available to make money or get help.

Please no tomatoes
