"When do you want people to die?"
When do you want people to die?
I'm watching Moore's CAPITALISM right now, and at the place in the film where he is talking with the attorney who is investigating the deaths of workers whose companies secretly insured them and then collected the money as beneficiary, Moore asks him that question.
"When do you want people to die?"
The only things the attorney could come up with are
1. War
2. Terrorism
3. Drug trials.
Right here on DU, we have heard from people who have been telling us that there ARE people who want them to die:
1. People who have been ill or injured, and waiting to get disability. They are put off year after year, until they get the message that they are suppposed to die to save the government money.
2. People who are on disability, and there is constant effort to find ways of cutting them off, even though that means there will be no means of survival.
So, what about it, DU? Why are THESE cases of suffering and potential death not a cause du jour for liberals or progressives? Why is there no outrage on our behalf?
Why is there no mass outcry to change this abominable state of affairs?
Are there lives that are worth more than other lives?
Is it only some causes that can receive popular support?
Be honest here, DUers. WHY do you not take up this cause, and save some lives?
We're waiting to hear from you.
People are literally dying.

1. K & R
I'll comment more tomorrow, Bobbie. I'm a little emotionally fried at the moment.
My dog broke his harness, jumped our fence, and bit a Chihuahua. It's been a messed up 24 hours.
I do hope people read this important post.
-
ObamaCare gets to decide that, not you dimwits!
-
Given that bobbo is poor and homeless,or so I have heard,how is it that it is watching a movie?
-
Netflix! Or maybe Redbox.
-
I think the Kenyan had a stimulus program that gave portable DVD players to winos.

Within 24 business hours.
Meantime, I waver between wishing she'd STFU with her incessant nagging and whining, and :rotf:that's she's inflicted it all on the DUmp.

And yet, they keep voting more and more power to this same government. ::) ::)

+++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
Her rally cry is what are DUer's going to do to fix whatever her rant is today.
She's as homeless as I am (not). She had a vision/dream and wants to save the world as is so typical of DU'ers, eh? :mental:
She told me so in private mail after she got me doing research for free. :thatsright:

Blaming Reagan means that people still die, while Reagan's worshipers laugh.
Is that acceptable to you?

31. How else can I say this... I DO NOT NEED A SHELTER.
I am a person.
I am a good person.
I need a home.
Did you get any of what I said earlier? I am particularly talking about DISABLED PEOPLE.
BICYCLES?
DISABLED?
WE NEED LIVABLE INCOMES.
WE NEED HOMES.
It. Really. Is. Quite. Simple.
indeed, it. really. is. quite. simple.
all bobo the hobo requests is a house. of her own (bobo the hobo does not appreciate the company of others in her life, it offends her sensibilities)
and money. enough money for micheal moore videos, internet access, a garage for her buick, wine...
that is all you need provide her and she will be just fine.
so get off your lazy asses and provide bobo the hobo with what she wants!
what is wrong with you people?

Is Bobo the hobo DU's mother?
I'ts like, "you never call," "you never visit," "you never buy me a home," "you never give up your own lives and live mine for me."
Life is for the living. Nobody owes Bobo the hobo anything. If Bob the hobo had any initiative she could start her own business and employ some of the bums she has met on the hobo trail.
What are you doing Bobo? When does it become important enough to you, Bobo, to actually quit trying to manipulate your fellow DUmmies via guilt, get off you lazy bum, and do something constructive?
Blaming others is easy.
And you know what? People die. People die all the time. It is part of what we do.
Edit to add: Isn't she in violations of the DU no-call-out rule? Isn't she calling out the entire DUmp?

... You eliminate the mortgage, you eliminate the electricity and water bills, etc. you free people up while reducing the burden on others. especially those who complain about their tax money going to helping people. ...because people are going to always argue about where and to whom their earnings go. they will always argue about it. the idea is to avoid the whole argument.
i personally think a portion of every ones earnings should go to help. i really don't believe that any one person's earnings are entirely their own. i feel we are all part of the same GROUP species. if we were meant to not help other members of our species we would have evolved into a solitary one.
OK, chills, just how many human species are there?

i drew up a sketch on Google SketchUP for a homeless shelter on wheels as a temporary solution for the problem of cold weather the homeless face during winters in the city...
It was going to be heated and it had a padlock so its occupant could be safe inside at night...and it was to have a solar panel, an ipod and even a wifi and a mini stove....It could be hitched to a bicycle for transport too..You can see it here (not the best sketch):
http://sketchup.google.com/3dwarehouse/details?mid=3a79...
i was going to build and stock them myself with my own money if i was ever able to get myself out from where i am to some space where i can work on them. then i was going to go to the nearest city and hand them out.
:rotf: :rotf:
And bobbo can just tote her 'home' along wherever she goes. :lmao:

i love the bobo the hobos and the illegal aliens in our country.
they are not satisfied in the least just taking our money. never contributing, just using. never grateful in any way.
they have the balls to demand *DEMAND!* even more from those of us who actually contribute to society.
the liberal media and those hand-wringing, guilty liberals just nod their heads, convinced in their perceived guilt that the bobo the hobos must somehow be correct.
f**k you, bobo. die. this country would be a better place for that...
:loser:

Well, I think DUmmy chillspike has a darn good idea for a DUmbass democrat.
The dirty, smelly wino bobbolink could drag her hut around like a turtle shell. But she wants a house, not a shelter. And anyway, the hut would be too big and heavy to pull uphill or fit in a freeway underpass. So, I think DUmmy chillspike should modify his design to eliminate the wheels. Then all these wino compartments could be lined up on an unused edge of a public landfill. If more space is needed, they could be stacked. I especially like his attention to detail:

(Notice that he follows the DUmp rule of multiple illogical, improper uses of capitalization.) I wonder what audio books winos would prefer on their iPods, at least until they haul all this junk to the pawn shop. And who could design a hobo hut without a liquor cabinet?

we should lavish attention, money and individual houses on the bobo the hobos of this world.
people that make money? bad!
people that just take money? good!
i like being a liberal. life is so cut and dried. so simple.
i'm a liberal, everybody gets a house, and all the money they need. i want to sit on my ass and contribute nothing. la la la...
the rest of you? ha! suckers. work, if that is what you think you must do. you don't have to. you could sit on the couch of my government sponsored house like i do. with my government sponsored cheetos and my government sponsored cable and internet access.
someone is paying for this. the government, right?

Not gonna happen:
1. Bobbo already has a "home on wheels" :shortbus:
2. You expect a DUmmie to actually move this thing by themselves.... :rotf:

Hummmm I sense a bigger picture question here.
If Bobo were to die, would she still vote democrat?

Just looked at that model. Had to try hard to not wake up the wife from laughing. That coffin on wheels comes with a stove, candles and matches. What could go wrong? And it's self propelled. :lmao:
If you're ever in Denver, and see a flaming coffin on wheels go whizzing by, wave to bobbo.

I have a couple of questions....
How long will the laptop computers, mini-tv, radio, cell phone, and iPod remain in this "hovel on wheels" until the resident(s) hock said items for booze/drugs?
How many resident(s) of said hovel will freeze to death during a snowstorm because they didn't keep the snow cleaned off the solar panel(s)?
How is one solar panel(s) going to provide enough electricity to power the heater or A/C, much less the stove, tv, computer, radio, etc.?
Will an auxiliary hand or foot crank operated generator be optional?
Wouldn't a propane stove be more economical and energy efficient for cooking and heating than an electric one?
How about an optional wood stove?
What about plumbing/toilet?
Refrigerator?
Obviously, DUmmie chilly didn't plan this thing out completely, but he did plan it to be "green".... :rotf:

It's the perfect DUmmie business model, isn't it? One fool building things for fools with no money.
What's that, DUmbass? You can't sell something to someone with no money because it will run you out of business?
Priceless! :lmao:
