Its too real my friends. It hurts. It's the strength in these poor people. I'm not sure what I'm trying to say. I just wish life was easier for people.

The only way to fix poverty and struggle is to stop having kids. Theists and /pol/acks fuck off.

Naw. The only way to fix poverty is to kill all the chud-duds. Without malice, but to cleanse.

I have it worse than the Grapes of Wrath character. So did my dad. I feel no empathy for them. As far as I'm concerned they have it pretty fucking good. I wish I had a car. I wish I had enough income to make it to California. I wish I had a nice job and place to live waiting for me there.

This part always makes me tear up a little:
>“And here's a story you can hardly believe, but it's true, and it's funny and it's beautiful. There was a family of twelve and they were forced off the land. They had no car. They built a trailer out of junk and loaded it with their possessions. They pulled it to the side of 66 and waited. And pretty soon a sedan picked them up. Five of them rode in the sedan and seven on the trailer, and a dog on the trailer. They got to California in two jumps. The man who pulled them fed them. And that's true. But how can such courage be, and such faith in their own species? Very few things would teach such faith. The people in flight from the terror behind - strange things happen to them, some bitterly cruel and some so beautiful that the faith is refired forever.”
