Jesus, this thread blew the fuck up!
onetime, to answer your question from two pages ago, no, I don't believe that poor sections of Philly are representative of the nation. People were talking about how easy the poor have it using anecdotal evidence along the lines of "when I drive through a poor neighborhood everyone has a satellite dish, a cell phone, a tricked out car, and is a fat tub of shit." I was taking issue with that, and I think that if you rolled up to someone in that neighborhood and said "Man, you poor-ass fuckers sure have it good," you'd get the shit beat out of you and rightly so. I'm sure things look okay for the poor from the outside.
Hwed, as you can see from my location I live outside Philly, in KoP, a rich-ass suburb, though I myself am neither rich nor poor, but the last of the Middle Class. My sister goes to Temple, which is not the nicest section of town, so I've seen some bad parts. I refer you to the last sentence of the above paragraph.
