@gorrards Ok for 1 the Jews did not do it, for two where the hell have you learned this shit? I swear people are stupid. And this women needs to get a job and work rather than pop out more and more kids to live off of welfare...

[paisleysdad]

@gorrards man where do u get that from my history lessons taught me it was the british that kicked that off but whatever man im sure u know better than books and professors if u have a legitimate source for this statement im interested

[paisleysdad]

@ebo202 oh and just so u know paisleys my dog lol

[paisleysdad]

@ebo202 your welcome and i apologize for the earlier jabs

[ebo202]

@paisleysdad Now THAT is a comment I can respect and even agree with. Point taken, thank you.

[paisleysdad]

@ebo202 i do agree with you that some of thhese people on welfare do tend to stay on welfare my thing is that without knowing this one woman personally you or i for that matter should not assume that shes just lazy and is dependant on the govt. do u see what i am saying?

[ebo202]

@paisleysdad Great arguement! Arguing with emotion instead of sense. If you have all the answers, why don't YOU tell me why families should continue the welfare legacy. I'm not talking about someone down on their luck, I said LEGACY, which is what these communities are. Gov't housing is and SHOULD be transitional, not permanent. You want to respond sensibly or are your panties still in a knot?

[paisleysdad]

@ebo202 as a matter of fact asshole i have lived in the hood i came up through the foster care system and do quite well for myself now i live in mississippi on the coast i know first hand what went on down here so keep your dumb ass opinions to yourself to yourself the problem is that they tore down govt housing and replaced with middle class private housing and there are really no middleclass people in new orleans they are below the poverty level oh and one other thing bite me

[ebo202]

@paisleysdad- Do you know the 'hood? You ever lived in the ghetto? I have... How bout you? In the 10 years I lived in one it was filled w/whining, crying, lazy people who didn't appreciate what was GIVEN to them. I watched as new housing dev. got trashed by their own tenants. Kids running unsupervised while fat mom is at home watching satellite TV. The hood is ALWAYS asking for help. The problem is they don't help themselves. Do you teach Paisley how to benefit from Welfare? Kawana does. Douche.

@ebo202 do you know this woman? have you any idea of what she is actually saying. god has nothing to do with it you ignorant gas bag. im glad u think you know the lords word so well i read the bible too and instead of quoting scripture ill just say this GO TO HELL!!
