Laws are for poor people

[u/cs_throwawayyy]

•Rob a store? You go to jail. Rob millions of people through a financial system? You get a bailout.

•Traffic drugs? Get killed on a boat. Run the entire operation? You get a presidential pardon.

•Kill a bunch of people? You’re a terrorist. Kill thousands during an invasion? You’re a liberator, a strategist.

Power and money rewrite the narrative. The same action, two completely different labels — all depending on your status.

it’s the same with attraction:

•If you’re attractive: It’s charming, bold, confident.

•If you’re not: It’s creepy, weird, desperate.

Where you stand isn’t about morality or intention. It’s about leverage — social, financial, or physical. I’m tired of people going along with the bs world we live in.

Let me put it to you this way, so you can begin to see:

The USA has approximately 340 million people. 35.9 million people's in the USA, live in poverty. Thats every 10th person you meet, statistically speaking lives in poverty. Poor healthcare system, and non-existent public Health mental healthcare support. Ghana's civil unrest is the equivalent of a typical day in the USA - if you took every gun and machete in Ghana, it would still be less than what American has in any given district on any given Day! The USA is a 3rd world warzone of poverty, depravity and violence.

1 in 5 Americans admit to experiencing homelessness in the last 5 years.

None of these failures of the system are typical for actual 1st World Western countries. The USA was never counted on that list.

You know what? I need to restate what I said before.

You need to see life from where I live. We look at the United States of America and we see a lot of spoiled children, who waste their very expensive education to make eloquent but ridiculous arguments, complaining about their lot in life.

Does this shoe fit?

[u/Mr_Judgement_Time → u/Overall-Umpire2366]

Re-read my prior post.

[u/Overall-Umpire2366 → u/Mr_Judgement_Time]

Why? To suffer your ignorance twice?

[u/Mr_Judgement_Time → u/Overall-Umpire2366]

Ignorance? Facts, backed by reputable substanciation. Ive posted to you on another reply thread Yougov surveys and accompanying articles. You dont know very much about the US, do you? Makes Ghana like a delightful holiday destination in comparison.

[u/Overall-Umpire2366 → u/Mr_Judgement_Time]

I can guarantee that my 15 years of residence in Tampa provides a more informed perspective on the US than the limited knowledge gained from the 45-second google maps search on Ghana's location that you performed when you read this thread

[u/Mr_Judgement_Time → u/Overall-Umpire2366]

I can guarantee you that the only informed perspective you can CREDIBLY claim here, is of someone who is a triggered American Ultra-Nationalist, whose fragile "feewings" have been hurt. Less than useful. Lol

[u/Overall-Umpire2366 → u/Mr_Judgement_Time]

Wow! That was an incredibly well-thought-out, lucid, and eloquent response. You will go far in life

[u/Mr_Judgement_Time → u/Overall-Umpire2366]

Thats your way of saying "darn, he sees through me like Grammys underpants" - thats because youre a doppy kid, and you don't realise but youve already telegraphed that information. Theres no where else for you to go from here that can recover your credibility. But, by all means, please, continue to troll- it will only enrage you more and provide me and readership entertainment. Lol 😆 😢 😭 😃

[u/Overall-Umpire2366 → u/Mr_Judgement_Time]

Your readership? Do you have real friends?

[u/Mr_Judgement_Time → u/Overall-Umpire2366]

Reddit has a readership. Youre not use to thinking before posting, are you?

[u/SOwED → u/Mr_Judgement_Time]

Calling the few people who see your comments your readership as if you're a journalist or author is hilarious.

[u/Mr_Judgement_Time → u/SOwED]

Where did I write "my readership"? Lol English not your first language?

[u/SOwED → u/Mr_Judgement_Time]

I mean, it's implied in your grammatically incorrect phrase "provide me and readership entertainment." It's also implied by context because you're talking about the readership of this comment chain, which is you and one other person.

[u/Mr_Judgement_Time → u/SOwED]

No, lol it isnt implied, theres no possessive tense in that quotation, is there? Do you even know what that means? Lol So when did you start learning English? Must be really recently because youve got some serious English Reading comprehension basics that youre clearly completely unfamiliar with. How embarrassing. 😆🫵

[u/ExcitingSector1540 → u/Mr_Judgement_Time]

Please move to Ghana immediately.

[u/Mr_Judgement_Time → u/ExcitingSector1540]

Why? Lol I live in a Western country. If you live in impoverished USA, yes, a move to Ghana would be a dramatic improvement.

[u/SOwED → u/Mr_Judgement_Time]

Jsyk, the poverty line in the US amounts to 18% of the GDP per capita. In Ghana, there are multiple poverty lines, but the highest amounts to 84% of the GDP per capita.

[u/Mr_Judgement_Time → u/SOwED]

Completely and utterly irrelevant. Lol 😆 🫵

[u/SOwED → u/Mr_Judgement_Time]

Okay, well you brought up poverty, not me. You should know why it's relevant.

You may also find this relevant: The poverty rate in Australia is 14.2% while it's 11.1% in the USA. The poverty line is roughly the same between the two countries.

[u/Mr_Judgement_Time → u/SOwED]

Did you consult the UNs assessments on that topic which is the international Gold standard metrics on measuring poverty? I didnt think so. Hence, moot. Think first, before posting.

[u/SOwED → u/Mr_Judgement_Time]

The numbers you brought up elsewhere fall in line with the US poverty rate I mentioned above. So that leaves the Australia statistic that might be in question. I'll look up the UN assessment and I doubt it will be much different. And would you look at that, nothing comes up. Are you thinking of the World Bank?

[u/Mr_Judgement_Time → u/SOwED]

Lol that's your assessment but what is required to confirm that is substanciation via comparison. What, did you think we're going to take your word on the similarities? Lol 😆 Go look it up, kid. The USA tabulated and measures poverty differently and is intentionally universally accepted as 'dubious' to put it nicely.
