I am sick of everything being blamed on poverty. On TV today they were talking about AIDs, about why it was high among people in poverty.
You always hear about criminal activity being high among people in poverty, like its an excuse. Drug abuse is high in people afflicted with poverty. Prostitution is high among women in poverty....
What the fuck is this about???? Did anyone stop to think that maybe the poverty doesn't cause the criminal, the criminal causes the poverty? Maybe the reason the dipshit is in poverty is because he is the type of person who would rather pull a gun on someone than put in a hard days work. Isn't it possible that the reason the dipshit is in poverty is because he would rather smoke crack than go to the gym or to the office.
I just get sick of it being an excuse for everything.
Today on TV they were trying to say 'people in poverty are less likely to have health insurance, therefore less likely to get tested, therefore more likely to spread the disease unintentionally.' Maybe its the fact that the guy who is too stupid to put on a condom when he fucks some skank slut was also to stupid to get a decent job. I mean, I know plenty of people with health insurance who never got tested...
