It will until you actually see poverty.
No, actually I drove through Newark two days ago
HAHAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHAH this comment explains a lot about you. NAIVE
And the last time you went to Newark? It is about as impoverished as a place in America that you will find. It hails in comparison even to Passaic and Paterson which are pretty horrendous. I've also been to Harlem and other slums
Go to Detroit. That's about as bad as it gets.
I can't say I've been there, but I can imagine. Newark is a slum though
I don't know what these people are talking about but they've obviously have never been to certain parts of Newark.
Which people?
Whoever believes Newark doesnt have poverty.
It doesn't. You don't know what poverty is.
Yea....you try going into Newark and say they have it good. Both the conditions that you must be thinking of and that I am thinking of are both unexcusable Don't give me this "you don't know real poverty" BS.
Dude things that are taken for granted in Newark are not available in slums all over the world. At least 95% of the people in Newark have running water and access to a bathroom right? Yeah that is a luxury in slums all over the world. Again like I said Newark is a dangerous place but it is nowhere close to being the most impoverished place on earth.
I'm not making a case that it is one of the most impoverished places on earth. It has poverty. It meets its definition and any normal person would agree.
It's time we end all this, this is America, no one is poor or neglected bull. This is reality...granted it's not like those found in Africa or elsewhere, but it's still poverty.

DWTL was trying to say that he had seen all the poverty he needed to see by driving through Newark and that is just naive and I pointed that out. I am not saying that the people in Newark are not impoverished and that they are not hurting. Their problems are different from those in slums in Asia and Africa. They need better schools and less drugs. In the third world the slums would be happy with just some water and food. I am not trying to make moral equivalancies or any s**t like that since people in all slums are hurting. I was just pointing out the differences.
