Default Re: Who here grew up poor?

I went back and edited my post to take into account the thawing time. But you meant fresh turkeys.

So you could just buy like a whole bunch of fresh turkeys on Thanksgiving day and freeze them, no? If you were poor. Or cheap. And non-Muslim or a non-zabihah eating Muslim.

And that way, you could still have a turkey dinner on Thanksgiving.

And don't worry about Aryan. He's not a real person. He's just somebody's alter ego.
But there are real people like him and the scary thing is they're our politicans and policy-makers. Bastards.

You don't have to experience poverty to understand it. I can't say I've ever been poor, but that doesn't mean I don't realize that there is poverty. Yes, even in Canada! You just have to see it sometimes and maybe study it.

Also, you have to be a sympathetic kind of person. But some people have the whole capitalist "if you're poor, it's your own damn fault 'cause you're just lazy" mindset. No compassion. And they don't understand the structural aspects of it.
