All post by dlf would win that award forever.

Hmmm... we should have separate categories. "Most ignorant post" and "Most ignorant post (excluding dlf)"

LukeMC.... In one of the other forums I was part of...they had a section just for the recognition of idiots of the month...lol... Not a bad idea for here...

I'm in favour!

Anyway, I'd better actually address the points she made or risk the ad hominem fallacy. Ugh, it'd be so much easier to facepalm.

Most poor people made bad decisions. They more than likely never finished high school or only have a high school educaton. That's irresponsible. It's their choice to continue their education or not to continue their education. If they want to be able to be healthy and taken care of they should have thought about that before deciding to be poor.

You take a rather general approach to everything don't you? "All British women are hairy beasts" "all poor people chose to be that way", etc.

Back to a personal example from on of my closest relatives. Dropped out of school to make a decent enough wage to support their family. They showed a little compassion and

in choosing to forsake ££££££ in order to help their nearest and dearest. I suppose they could have just left them to get evicted and live on the streets... I mean it's their own fault they're out of work anyway (duh!). But the point I'm trying to make is that the decision to forsake education isn't necessarily an irresponsible decision so much as it is a compulsory "decision" to help ones family, and poor people aren't so much deciding "hey lets be poor guys! party at my dad/uncle's house!!" as they are being forced into unpleasant situations due to pre-existing economic polarity in a system that tends only to work for the non-poor or plain heartless citizens (those who would leave their parents behind for their own selfish sake).
