Remember your lard sandwiches? So while I feel some of the video was distasteful...I understand the proud part. And you can still find people out there who feel like that.
I don't knock people down for being poor or uneducated. Sometimes what they say makes more sense than a college professor's class. And money doesn't sway them from the truth.

Fools. Sorry but, that's how I see it. If I'm starving and someone offers me a bowl of soup, I'm taking it. If some one nearby wants to starve rather than take the soup becuase he thinks it's immoral, I'll take his. I might even wait for him to drop and take his shoes. Survival trumps pride. Screw that foolishness.
I don't knock anyone for being poor or uneducated either. I knock them for thinking being poor, uneducated, overworked and underpaid is somehow a badge of honor. Those people probably all work for whoever fed them that drivel. And he's probably a billionaire because of it. They're stooges, Painter. Nothing more. What's worse is they drag the rest of us down with them by being so cheap.
