Christmas Tree 3997 Posted December 9, 2013 Author Share Posted December 9, 2013 Of course we're talking about no food you fucking imbecile - why the fuck are there food banks? Fuck me you're thick. Do you think there is a difference between being classed as in Poverty in India compared to here. If your answer is no then you my dear fellow are the imbecile.

NJS 3986 Posted December 9, 2013 Share Posted December 9, 2013 Shamefully stupid comments tonight. This statement I posted earlier (from the wiki entry for poverty), quite clearly explains the point. No wonder you're a tory if you really think we have to be thankful for having inside toilets - when will you get it through your head that the reason the rich take the piss is because of people like you who think a shit job is nirvana. Never mind you can't afford meat mate - your grandparents had an outside shitter so chin up eh? I fucking despair about people like you having a vote.

desmondTUTU 0 Posted December 9, 2013 Share Posted December 9, 2013 Goods unimaginable to those in poverty in the 1900's. shoes, glasses, underwear, washing machines, baths, showers, radiators, boilers, ovens, sinks, toilets, paracetemol, inuprofen, inhalers, toothbrushes, soap, beds, quilts, double glazing, a bike, a scooter, books, pens, fresh fruit, fresh fish, fresh bread, fresh anything. If you think having these things means you can't be below the poverty line you truly are a thick cunt. Could it be possible they are referring to Ipads, HDTVs, cigarettes, free housing and a poor diet? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Happy Face 29 Posted December 9, 2013 Share Posted December 9, 2013 Dear Lord that's ignorant. We are not comparing no food against no food we are comparing the European calculation that classifies someone as been in poverty. Rather than simply arguing for arguments sake, maybe you should digest the points I've made and then tell me if it's the same for people in poverty in Newcastle as it is for those in poverty in India. Dipshit. Gone from arguing that poverty isn't as defined the world over but what you observe...to saying it's all about the European calculation. Then got the nerve to say I argue for arguments sake. Bored of your idiocy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bored of your idiocy. Dear me you are arguing for fucks sake. What I've said from the OP is that the term POVERTY imo is overused. Just because we have a European that classes someone as in poverty doesn't compare them to what most people consider poverty in the world. A very simple point well made. I'm out too.

Renton 17840 Posted December 9, 2013 Share Posted December 9, 2013 I want to say for the record that I fundamentally reject CT's stance on poverty - it does exist here, even if it isn't as widespread as the emerging economies. I'd argue that if we had to wait until we were at the same level as them before taking any action, we'd be in serious bother. With that said, the recession has apparently managed to level the playing field a bit more, and our Gini coefficient has fallen in 2012 - which would be encouraging except that I can't shake this feeling that the super rich aren't paying for it. http://www.theguardian.com/uk-news/2013/jul/10/income-gap-narrowest-margin-25-years With that said, you may also be interested in this graph showing that Thatcher was responsible for the coefficient going through the roof while she was in power. Which I think sums up the Tory viewpoint. Sweden is at around 25%. http://www.the-crises.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/12/gini-index-uk.jpg Interesting graph that Rayvin, illustrates why I detest(ed) Thatcher and also shows what a failure New Labour were in addressing the issue which is fundamentally the most important issue any government faces. At least things stabilised under them though to an extent. There's also the serious issue of inequity caused by the North South divide to consider as well of course. Reminds me as well what a prick Cameron is when he stated he wants to "spread privilege". Either the patronising cunt is monumentally stupid or thinks the electorate is so he can get away with this shite. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

THERE IS NO COMPARISON BETWEEN THE TWO. Simple questions - if you had £20 a wwek to feed your entire family: Would you consider yourself poor? Would you care that bloke in India has 20p a week to feed his family? How does the bloke in India negate the fact that your family can't eat properly?

Do you think the rich in India compare with the rich in this country? - if you do then you just don't get it.
