My thoughts are with the poor people of Japan. Is this scenario possible?

I know very little about scientific events like these events in Japan and am afraid for the residents.
I hope my fears are very exaggerated.

2. Thank you for your concern for the "least of these". It is always, of course, the poor people
who suffer the most.... and are usually forgotten.
The other side is... Japan and other countries take much better care of their poor people than the US does.
Right here, on OUR shores, is where so much suffering is happening... Every. Day.
3. I don't think that's what she meant
I think she meant *all* of the people of Japan.

14. ALL of the people of Japan, like ALL of the people of the US are NOT POOR.
If that was just a linguistic trick, then she has hurt the really poor people.
Not that we matter... we understand that.

19. Doesn't ignoring the very basis of "progressivism" haunt you?
Is that all you do is stalk people you don't like? How very ....fulfilling....

23. Don't try to undermine the poor here! It never pays anywhere.
Just saying.

7. I meant 'poor' as in what a thing to cope with. My comment had nothing
to do with economic status.

15. Well, thank you so much for clarifying. Its back to being all for the middleclass.

Don't be surprised when ignoring us turns back and bites you some day.
How stooopid of me to think that DUers would actually think of people in poverty. Silly me. :silly:

18. Hey look at the bright side
There are now tens of thousands of homeless in Japan that identify with your plight.

28. Yes, exactly... shame on me for thinking "poor" actually meant POOR, and for reminding people
Edited on Sun Mar-13-11 03:37 PM by bobbolink
that it is always the poor people who suffer the most in calamities.
How very dispicable of me.

author=ScubaGuy link=topic=56613.msg648573#msg648573 date=1300061817]Not likely. I'm beginning to think the hobo may be a sock puppet for the DUmp's Politburo.
I think the other DUmmies are about ready to get Bobo evicted from the DUmp.

Someone should row over there and tell bobo how good she has it that she has a BUICK, with an iPhone, and how many of those Japanese people have NOTHING but the clothes on their backs.
Turn that shit around on her and see how much she likes it.

So Bobo the hobo hijacks a thread about the terrible plight of the people in Japan and then accuses someone else of hijacking a thread. Oh, and she's homeless.
Cindie
WHAT!?! HOMELESS!!!???OMG!!! WHEN DID THIS HAPPEN!?!?!?
:lmao: I was thinking the same thing.Lot's of them don't even have a car to live in. So they are worse off than her. Where is her sympathy for those people? Is she going to give up the luxurious furnishings in the buick for some poor soul that has nothing?

Bobo should be able and willing to take in 3 or 4 families worth of refugees. They're used to living in small cramped spaces already. :fuelfire:I would be willing to foot the cost to fumigate it first.

I think she should volunteer to go over and help and quite complaining. At least she'd get a tent over there and she could share stories of her tough life in a Buick with those people who had there wife, husband, sister, brother, etc killed. :bird:
She rails about being homeless and living in a car.

It takes a special kind of person to take a national tragedy in Japan and make it ALL.ABOUT.HER (and other "poor" people, of course)
Bobo, let's just say you are a disgusting skanky drama slattern and leave it at that.
I feel sorry for decent DU posters (yes, there are some with common human decency) to be on a website where they suffer by affiliation, if not affinity, for a worthless piece of guano like the homeless one. God forbid anyone should give a shit about anything or anyone but her. She fits right in the category of any asshole out there posting stuff like Remember December 7th. :fuelfire:
Ahem! Those are our moles.
True, but nevertheless they are still tainted with the boboslime.

EEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWW
Yep, that's a DUmmie associated with bobo. :lmao:
She had a freakin apt, put no it wasn't good enough. it's her own ****in fault she's homeless. And I've noticed many DUers have offered to help her but it's never good enough. I don't get it, wouldn't any help be better than livin in a car? I can't believe anyone living on the streets in a car in Denver wouldn't be overjoyed to have any type of home.
Didn't someone offer to get her an apt and pay the rent for a few months till she got on her feet, and she turned them down.
Pitt hearts Bobo.
You horn-dogs are out of luck. :rotf:
She's dead if Skimmer gives Pitt a green light.
Wait.... There's a chance $kinner is going to give the Pittstain carte blanche? For what, and how long? If this happens, it will be a must see event. Not saying he'll pizza Bobbo, or anyone else. I don't know what he'll do, but that's part of the fun of it. I find myself now somewhat excited. Either way, if the Skin flute decides to pull that particular trigger, DUmmies beware.
:popcorn:
Oh come on. I don't believe for a minute bobo is homeless. This is just some liberal who invented bobo as an internet character, to bring "awareness" to the situation of the homeless. The author just didn't think it all the way through. The posting at any and all hours, the utter lack of description on how bobo fed herself that day, and all the other details of daily life. Wouldn't she have all kinds of tales about dumpster-diving, getting chased out of the library bathroom, panhandling hits and misses, soup kitchen humiliations, run-ins with the law, close calls with other bums? We've been watching her a long time. Where are the true stories of the gritty street?
None of that. Just calls for donations to buy billboard space to "increase awareness." Just the sort of thing an idiot liberal would do.

Vesta, you are hilarious sometimes. :lmao:
You misspelled stupid. :-) O-)
At least YOU didn't misspell "misspelled". It never ceases to amuse me when the grammar police chastize people while commiting their own offenses. :cheersmate:
Vesta is what is often referred to as a character. Unlike bobo though, she's authentic.
Yes, but authentic WHAT? That's a question that's likely to forever remain unanswered.
Sparky, why did I have an idea my post would draw your attention? :lmao:
Vesta is an authentic Mainer, bien sur.
And again it begs the question, authentic WHAT?

You forget she's livin' off our dime on a disability check. She had housing, but it wasn't up to her standards and the Super wouldn't bow to her every request, so she moved out! ( or got kicked out for bein such a twat! )
