Poverty in Wilkes

One of the ideas I had was a "Spring Cleaning" day. Where essentially we rent a laundry mat for a day to allow homeless to do their laundry and maybe get some coffee and talk to each other. It will help a local business while helping the homeless. I've also been looking into something like this... https://www.projectw...yonwheels/

But that's a much bigger project.

Christ teaches us to feed the hungry and clothe te naked. These are Democratic values. Repubs would turn their backs on the needy.

So we should stop feeding the poor people?

For their own good?

Never said that just asked where the hordes of staving homeless were. Did you know we are the only nation on earth where obesity is a major health problem for poverty level people?

Oh ok, there aren't a whole lot of poor people so we should just let them fend for themselves? Sing us a hymn, max.

Where are these hordes of hungry homeless people here in Wilkes? There are a few who choose to sleep outside because they refuse to follow a few simple rules at the local shelter,

Ha! Imagine that, a democrat Christian.

I wonder if the poverty level has anything to do with the majority republican Christian Wilkes Countians who are politically vehemently opposed to helping the poor, feeding the hungry, housing the homeless and treating the sick?

Probably not.

Rose reminds me of another democrat I know that is so warped it is funny. He claims to be a Christian and goes to church every Wednesday and Sunday. One day he told me he had to vote democrat and if Jesus Christ himself came back and ran as anything else he couldn't vote for him.

I'm sorry to take the thread off-topic, just got annoyed.


Thank you mhugget for sharing that link to "Wilkes Circles Of Care" I had never heard of them before but was reading the website and actually know someone on the board, I plan to speak to them to find out how I can contribute!

Hey Rosestar, I was actually contemplating apologizing to you but then I decided that would be a lie and disingenuous because I meant every word I said. You do embarrass me as a woman, as a Democrat and as an articulate person.


BTW, today is "National Down Syndrome Awareness" day! Thank you for going one day on GW without calling anyone who disagrees with you a "Tard!" If only for today!!

Or did I miss it, have you been up to your usual inarticulate means of arguing by not adding anything to the conversation except to condemn people as "Tards?"

Is thinking in black and white terms and blindly following everything the Democratic party tells you what you meant by "modicum of intelligence in the arena of ideas" ??

The fact you can't see your own hypocrisy really annoys me!! Sorry but hypocrisy is one of my pet peeves!

And you're not doing the country any good by provoking Trump followers into hating you, thus dividing us as a people even more! If you weren't such a worthless troll, maybe you'd learn how to actually win people over with your arguments.

First thing that needs to happen is all the sorry people get off their butts and get a job. Put forth some effort.

You Rumpsniffers are a hoot. Hard as you try to appear intelligent, you sadly fall short consistently. And FINS, the only "beating" I hear is the sound of your gums flapping as you troll LOL

Who really cares she is just another far left brain dead liberal who believes what ever her idol Rachael Maddow says. Her posts have shown over and over that she is to ignorant to have a meaningful discussion.

Has anyone checked on Rosie to see if shes still alive after the beating she took? LOL


Nice job Pollock

Increase the local economic wealth that does not flow out of the local economy. JOBS that PAY LIVING WAGES.

We have plenty of pillbillies, they have plenty of HIV free blood plasma. All we need is a place that will pay them to lay back in a chair for a short time each week while it's extracted.
