So, what do we, as a nation, do about Obama?

Gary, you made a valid point on who is a leech when you talked about the incarcerated felon. Society gives them food, shelter and clothing. I see a big disconnect when someone who is not incarcerated and does not have the opportunity to earn such is denied the three basics.

Es99, your correct observation is not germane to my comment.

I'd be wary of this one too as the US incarcerates a disproportionate number of blacks and the poor.

What's a slacker/leech? Google-video or youtube "free obama money." You'll find several specific examples there.

Why are most of those videos uploaded by a youtube user with the handle "greatguyintx"?

Not me.

OK, here's a definition of "slacker/leech" to work with. How about a person who refuses to be a productive member of society? How about a person who refuses to earn what he/she consumes? How about a person who has a sense of entitlement to other people's money with out doing anything to earn it? How about a person who refuses to recognize their field of expertise has an excess of other people who have their same field of expertise and refuses to find a field where there is a shortage of laborers and do what it takes to become an expert in a new field? How about a person who blames their ancestry on their current predicament? How about a person who feels their efforts are worth more than what someone else is willing to pay and therefore refuses to do anything and would rather continue collecting unemployment?

Is that enough of a definition? No? Then I don't know what your looking for.

Try giving me a definition of someone who is NOT a slacker/leech and then maybe we can work from there.

I truly care for all producers/slackers/leeches, sincerely,

I think that you will find that it is in proportion to those committing the crimes, offenses and felonies. It's not because of any implied prejudice.

The US has the highest incarceration rate in the world, so it seems that William believes Americans are the worst people on Earth and deserve to be imprisoned.

We will send our deserving criminals (only those convicted) up to Toronto and Ottawa so that you can hug them. This will help our northern neighbor score full marks in the area of diversity. How many do each of you want to harbor in your house. Or perhaps you could get your lord mayor to request a transfer of a few hundred thousand of these felons as a humanitarian gesture. What do you say Laddies ?? Maybe they can loot the Eaton Center or the Banff Springs hotel with impunity or they could go on a frosty skate on the Rideau Canal.

You know, another way of looking at incarceration rates is that maybe we still have more individual freedom here in the U.S. which enables more folks to make very poor choices and more folks to make very good choices. Maybe our incarceration rates reflect there's still a little more free will here in the U.S., in a land where we are still governed by law and not men. (although Obama is furiously trying to reverse this...) Maybe we are still able to demonstrate true human nature, where the human spirit yearns to be free to make both good and bad choices. The more good we have, the more bad we'll have. Maybe countries that have lower incarceration rates are nothing more than countries with governments who've more successfully supressed the human spirit.

I don't know about you, but I like to follow the rules. And I'd prefer more good in society, which means I'm willing to accept more bad in society along with it--as long as we find ways to deal with the bad, we should continue to strive for good!

I say deal with the bad so the rest of us can enjoy more good.

Love ya my seti@home brothers and sisters! Sincerely,

Guy the Great!

Sounds like you want a bunch more rules to follow.
