The topic covered by the text was poverty and homelessness. Check it:
"The problem with welfare as we know it, is we’re so full of
shit. Not only do we have rich people who fucking complain about being taxed
for having millions of dollars, they also have the damn nerve to say that the
government is spending too much “their” money on welfare programs. How fucking
greedy and envious do you have to be to think of treating people this way.
These clowns never had to spend a day in the damn streets working for a piece
of bread. They are in their nice warm luxurious offices complaining about how
they don‘t have enough. In fact, we barely spend any money on welfare compared
on how much of an income the government receives. The poor that do pay their
taxes are returned just a bit of what they are asked to give. And of course the
media is covering their fuckery up. And even the people that aren’t piss rich
are so confused with all the crap that the media shows them that they believe
all these lies that makes them think that the poor are a bunch of lazy, sorry,
good for nothing people that try to cheat their way to a “perfect” American
dream. Oh and to add a bit of truth to these big fucking lies lets blame it on
the minorities as well. They are already known for being a bunch of savage
people who like violence and drugs, let’s tell everyone that they are also the
ones that use up all the welfare money and don’t pay any back. Matter of fact
lets go deeper into this lie and point out the single black teen mothers and
call their children “mistakes” that everyone has to pay for. Oh and by the way,
Diane Sawyer can eat a bag of rusty nails. Who the fuck gives her the right to
judge all mothers? No one knows what these girls have gone through in their
lives. Show all the blacks in magazines and TV shows all you want. The truth
will always be the truth. Media is a bunch of shit put on the television and
paper to fuck with people’s minds. Call them myths all you want, they are all
lies. And I don’t give a fuck about what the technical difference is between
poverty and homelessness. I could honestly give a rat’s ass. They both mean the
same thing: human beings that are struggling in life who need help. Ever seen
the homeless here in Honolulu? The other day I bought a man a sandwich and a
Gatorade. When I went to give it to him, he threw it back at me. Did I get
angry and take it from the ungrateful piece of shit? Of course not, this person
is a human being. Their prides aren’t asking for anything, especially not a
welfare check. I walked away and returned after about an hour. He had the
sandwich in his lap and Gatorade next to him. He could barely accept a free
sandwich and people honestly give a fuck about the definitional differences
between poverty and homelessness. Something is clearly wrong. God, how many people are there out there that
are like Murray Barr. Decent, loving people whose lives are in a black hole.
And this can happen to anyone, in any city, town, state, country. No one ever
wishes to live that life. It’s a disease for them. And boy does it cost
millions of dollars on housing and medical bills. And surprisingly there aren’t
that many of them when you really look at it. Life is not perfect by all means
but if we all just chipped in a bit then something could really happen. We all
own what we came into this world with and will leave with, our human bodies.
Everything else is temporary possession and if you think you’re entitled to
everything then you are in for a big surprise the day of your funeral."
See? Brilliant. In my courses, while I do want good scholarship more often than not, these assignments ask for students to reflect on the topics and concepts, and explore their own perceptions and beliefs. One assignment like this is appropriate for this course, given what i ask of them. Seems pretty blogworthy, yeah? And worth all the possible points. Good work, anonymous Social Problems student.
