Zullo, I love you to death.

But your argument about rising above poverty is flawed.

So if im poor I should kill 20 people and steal their money to survive?

You answered a social problem with another social problem.

Shane,

What if my dream is to sit around and do nothing ?

Shouldn't the govt respect that choice too?

Sure, but you should be prepared to live in a (free) box in the woods, and enjoy it

The box woods thing is still illegal

Again, answering problem with another problem.

Don't wanna be forced to pay to live? Squat on someones land.

Now that's full circle.

[bucketokarma]

White house, it's officially public property. i'm paying so you can live there

Now that's full circle.

lets be realistic here

you can call it "squatting on someones land" all you want...but when youre in the middle of the damn wilderness, you may as well be on another planet.

if you really wanna get into technicalities based on this...sitting around and doing nothing is not an option for any living being on this planet, legal wise or otherwise.

man used to have to hunt for food and maintain a basic society to survive

these days the act of hunting and gathering is replaced with working for money to afford the meal you would have hunted for ages ago. and the house you would have otherwise built yourself.

you cant just do nothing, its against the basics of survival. much less a legal thing than just a "its how it is now, and its how it was then" thing. theres land on this earth you can live on if you wanna not work or have a career or be a "part of the system".

Ahhh. The irony that such a beautiful piece of usable public property is inhabited by someone who has tons of the cash.

This heated debate is right up my alley and I find it so fun...

But unfortunately the Yankees are on and I have homework to do, so carry on folks.
