Basically, Obamaphone is an attempt to keep poor people in touch
Yup, I nude'd that. I just have a problem with poor people having better phones than I do, and not paying for the monthly (250) minutes. Don't you?
They our outcast and segregated enough already.
Poor people, regardless of color, race or creed, have chosen that path for themselves. They never took advantage of the FREE EDUCATION in this country and should be paying the price. They are NOT because they are getting their phones and minutes free, aside from Medicaid et al. Krap, I don't even know what they get for free, but as someone who never allowed herself to accept a hand-out, I do not pity them.
Without a computer, a landline or a cellphone, and with the absence of pay phones on the street, they are becoming invisible or non-people in today's electronic world
Ohhh, I get it. WE have to give the poor everything, especially phones/free minutes, because the poor are becoming invisible. KTC, THEY HAVE TO TAKE RESPONSIBILITY FOR THEMSELVES. The Great Society (thx Johnson) is completely OUT OF CONTROL!!
They just become less and less able to participate or contribute - a sorry state of affairs. Subsidizing phone service seemed like a worthwhile idea to some people under the USF program.
I don't see it that way. Give them free phones and they can participate/contribute? Nope, I cannot agree. It is a sorry state of affairs, but I didn't do it and I resent paying for it.
We are not just subsidizing phone service, kiddo.
I was pumping gas yesterday and had one of those poor, non-participating weirdos approach me for money.
I said no.
Less than 5 minutes later, he approached me again.
Go back to school and get a job.
Oh, that's right, bec/ of Obamanure, there aren't any jobs.
But now that it is election season, HE IS GOING TO WORK ON THAT.
What a putz.
If you think education is expensive, try ignorance.
