Do you think 'poor' people deserve to be poor?

what poor decisions does an infant make to be born into a family in a cycle of generational poverty?

The couple has made the poor decision to do that, not the child.

The couple has made the poor decision to do that, not the child.

But yet the child will be raised by the poor parents that make poor decisions and the cycle of poorness will continue.

So does that child deserve to be poor?

until the child is at the age of reason to get a job, it is not his/her fault at all.

If someone is poor and--for whatever reason--they or others are unable to change that; then too fucking bad, they should die poor as well.

I think just about every adult can look at their situation and say ''damn this is where I fucked up financially''

Guessing this was for me?

Being born is not a choice, shit happens due to the decisions of others.

But the choices that infant makes will decide whether they escape the poverty or continue it for another generation.

People are born into adverse situations and make a way out all the time.

What are your thoughts on Ted Williams? The Man with the Golden voice?

His radio voice saved it, but his addiction to drugs/alcohol almost made him fall back down to homelessness.

If he would've failed to capitalize on his voice and continued to abuse drugs and remain homeless, is that not considered a choice he made?

Did he choose to not be homeless now?

A few bounces must go the babies way for him to be successful, and nurture plays an immense role.

For every baby that makes it out, 100,000+ don't make it.

i think both sides of the argument make good, agreeable points.

but the system in america needs a lower and middle class. it doesnt allow for everyone to be rich.

but being born in a poor neighborhood or poor family doesnt mean u have to be poor for the rest of your life. eventually u come to a certain age where u have to take accountability for your decisions.

not everyone born in poverty stricken neighborhoods stay there, not everyone who is rich stays rich.

those who dont educate themselves or do anything to change their situation deserve it. dont see how it can be viewed differently.

People as described in the OP deserve to be poor. "A fool and his money are soon parted."

Another example of people using generalizations that don't measure up with the facts.

Facts show that upward mobility out of poverty is at its lowest in comparison to other countries, so no, people do not make it out all the time.

But they CAN, the problem is they don't try OR don't try hard enough.

[Pyrexcup]

dumb ass niggas think people choose to be poor yes niggas can make bad descision but the facts is this is all a systematic system which is hard to break thorugh. rich people will always bee rich and poor people will always be poor #fact. Why do you think rich people only marry other rich families

no, not until he/she is old enough to have their own responsibilities and take their future into their own hands. then its on them.

But the poor child raised by poor parents should be expected to make it big, although everything since birth trained him to be poor??

It could and does happen, but it's not realistic to expect that to be the outcome.

This is my last comment because I don't really want to go on forever with this shit (and I could) but even IF people fuck up and become addicts or unwed mothers etc they are STILL NO DIFFERENT THAN ANYONE ELSE.

DMX is a millionaire crackhead (he's not the only one either), how many broke penniless crackheads are there? There's more than enough of both to say that life takes different people to different places.

Sarah Palin's daughter gets pregnant as a teenager its all good she's got a millionaire mommy, Ta'Nia up the block gets pregnant as a teenager and could end up in poverty for the next 18-20yrs. Same shit different consequences.

Consequences don't apply equally, people live their lives and unforeseen shit happens that shackles them to poverty or sends them into poverty. Its life, nobody is perfect and there's no perfect person. We all do the same shit but how it affects our lives differ greatly.

For every person that opened a business and made money there's someone who opened a business and ended up having to close it, its life.

There's no magic pill to becoming rich.

ESPN's 30 for 30: Broke

its about how athletes go from millionaires to bankrupt once their career is over.

see their own reasons for why they went broke. they made poor choices.

becoming an addict or unwed mother wont guarantee u go broke, but u are jeopardizing your future and making it more difficult on yourself.

Sometimes they're content w that kind of life, I've seen it before. If they're not though, they can do something to come up from that. Like what? Whatever they can do, however they can do it.

If they're tired of being poor but yet do nothing about it, is it then a choice that they're making?

If one does something to better their situation, isn't it a choice they've made to come out of that situation?

If one does nothing to better their situation, isn't it a choice they've made to stay in that situation?
