So. Pissed. Off. (CityLink version)

Groundbreaking for the CityLink center was yesterday and I (being a glutton for controversy) read the news articles covering the event tonight. As I anticipated, they were crawling with comments from the best and brightest Americans.



"All this place is going to do is help people get on ASSISTANCE programs, and become dependant on the system. The location speaks for itself as to who their focus is going to be on. Next thing you know they will be giving out free fans to the same people who get them year after year. They should of put a jail on the site instead. Then the people in the "community" wouldn't have far to go to see their family..."



So says a man who can't spell the words "Rock Star" and also thinks he is one.



It was all I could do to not respond "YOU ARE A MORONIC FUCKWAD ASSBABY!!!!" Instead I said



"Please.

Unless you've never traveled down a paved road, called 911, used a public library, or borrowed money from a bank (etc) you have dependent on a system. Humans are inherently interdependent and also obsessed with the fantasy of a self-made man. No one is a self-made man (or woman).

Of course you also think that low economic status = criminal so I can tell you're very educated on the subject.

Sounds like you're really just sore that we aren't focusing on you and your problems. (Although, as such an independent, intelligent, and otherwise perfect individual you shouldn't have any problems.)"



Sounds bitchy, but compared to what I wanted to say, nice and polite, right?



Then there was your typical Mr. woe-is-me-I-have-it-so-hard-being-forced-to-help-people-with-my-tax-dollars



"We are sick of helping people who don't even try to help themselves. It's gettin' old!"



Makes you sound like a good person because it implies that you help people and would enjoy it given the right circumstances. *snorts trying to hold back laughter at the preposterousness of it all* Well, sorry to burst your bubble deary, but:



"Then logically you should be happy other people are working on the problem without you."



Little worried about the fact that I had to log in with my facebook to post my replies but I've been internet-hunted before. Also, according to these geniuses, they are far too busy helping people and accomplishing things without any outside assistance of any kind to bother with harassing little ol' me. *snorts again*
