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.

Damn Kadath I forgot you were even involved in this thread as so much has happened since that page.
Anyway, I am talking in overall terms and the things I pointed out are far more representative of the overall condition than pointing to the limited areas that are below average (yet who are still benefitting from increased home prices, low interest rates, low inflation, and nearly full employment displayed by our current economy.)
