Thread: If You Were President..

More like someone who runs the facility, ok?

Also, seriously, fuck the poor. Poor people are poor because nature didn't give them what they needed to not be poor. Sick people are sick because nature made them that way. People have pre-existing conditions because nature made them that way. If you're too poor to get the help that you need to fight nature, then you don't deserve to be able to fight it.

The mentally ill are the only exception to this imo, because, while nature is responsible for that too, we can't just kill them and they aren't able to help themselves.

Eh. You didn't say that before. I already agreed with the credibility, yeesh.

Your logic is flawless. /heavy sarcasm
If by nature you mean the society in which they are born, then you would be correct. But genetics has nothing to do with poverty. It's actually based on a perpetuation of socioeconomic status since those who are poor regress during summer months because they don't have proper stimulation (like a library they can visit or a museum to go to) while those who are wealthy continue to grow. And thus, it is all perpetuated.

Also, I hope you have a genetic disorder and can't afford to fix it.

We don't take care of them though. If you look into deinstiutionalization (which JFK signed in 1963 before his assassination) we were supposed to let them out into a supportive community, with community clinics, supportive family and housing. The pilot studies of this showed that it had a great effect. But the pilot studies involved people who were cared for by psychiatric nurses, visited by counselors, had jobs, and were provided meals a couple times a week.

When the deinstitutionalization actually took place, the mentally ill had no family to fall back on, and if they did get housing, they would go through medication cycles until eventually they were kicked out of their housing. What we got? the homeless mentally ill
