I'm grateful to you Nobody.

You have been talking down my comments about attitudes to the less fortunate in the good old US of A, and then you were kind enough to post a link to an NBC page featuring viewers comments. About four post in was the following, from a twelfth century mind in a twenty first century body calling itself Steve:

""The bottom line is everyone needs to be financially responsible for their own costs - yes it is expensive, but i don't want to pay for your care.

I would like to agree with you when you get these people that are taking WELFARE to live up to thier financial responsibility then you can preach tothe rest of the world to do the same thing. Till you get these leaches off my back, enjoy the bumpy ride.""

Ignorant, stupid, greedy, self centred, totally lacking in empathy or sympathy and in all probability obese from overeating.

The perfect modern American.

The world's number one consumers, using five times more of the world's finite resources than anybody else, and adamantine in refusing to help their less fortunate sick, disabled, poor and uneducated fellow countrymen.

The vast majority, Obama hating anti black Republicans, who have the immortal gall to call themselves Christians.
