Why would you write something like that?!! Is there nothing Constructive for you to do? You need help! You are a sick person. You don't know if these people really need the help. You can't just make a general, rude statement like that. I hope that God opens up your heart and mind, so that you will find peace with yourself. That way, you won't have to pick on other people to make yourself feel better. GOD BLESS YOU!!!!!!!!!

does anyone know what is the approximate wait-list time for the non-emergency Section 8 Housing Assistance on the recently re-opened New York City Program?(Enough feedback will satisfy my desire to learn about the process.) Thank you :)

I do believe this very sentiment keeps the poor entrenched in poverty and ignorance for generation after generation. This is LIFE, not a god damn scratch card! "Just have faith"?
You know that in the real world productive action is required to make things happen don't you? Imagine if all humans since the dawn of time had thought "just hope and it will happen" like Oddette. We'd still be living in mud huts and chasing dinner with a stick. Thank god for scientists and other agents of human advancement who took it upon themselves to produce the things that make your lives so livable.

Nurture the weeds and kill the garden. Some cities that are almost all white, are sued by the federal government to allow these drug dealing,mostly minorities into their low crime rate cities and forced to accomidate section 8.

And if you are living with your parents, you obviously couldn't afford to take care of yourself! Why on earth would you have a baby and expect the tax payer to take care of it? Where did you s@rew the sperm donor? Go live there!

I worked in apartment management for several years and every single section 8 tenant was a useless, parasitic drug addict and/or drunk.

So you spent your teenage years smokin' blunts and chillin' and gang-bangin' and now you find you can't get a job and want the rest of us to give you money so you can live on your own?

Guess what... ain't gonna happen!

wherever these hellholes are or will be, please make sure to identify them on all maps as 3rd world hazardous waste zones to be avoided at all costs....all forms of insurance should be void should someone, or someone's property meet a predictably poor fate in these barbaric cesspools of the unread and unwashed non humans.
