Creepy Condescending Wonka

I saw that. I think it really is aliens.

It still has more up-votes than views! Anyone who is reading this, up-vote this meme to continue this extraterrestrial phenomenon (and to help Spurs Fan)!

No! It's over...

What does race have to do with this? If you're just going to interject race into this, you can take your comments elsewhere.

Oh I'm sorry, did you miss the two memes I was responding to which were clearly directed at African-Americans?

The meme I responded to was your meme in which you have a stat that said there are more whites on government assistance than any other race. That meme you posted was in reply to another meme that had nothing to do with race. Therefore, you brought up race where there was no race being talked about.

Two out of the three memes above mine depicted African-American women... Therefore, race was entirely being talked about.

No it wasn't. They were popular memes expressingthe view of the poster. Race was not mentioned.

The race baiting was done by the other two. I took the bait and responded. You're obviously not African-American or you wouldn't have been so insulted by my meme. Everything's fine as long as it's not your race being degraded on here, apparently. I'll post where I want. So typical, though, of you to try to exclude me for making a valid point. Have a nice day.

And you can quit race baiting and quit calling me a racist. So what if those templates were used? Get over yourself. If all white templates were used you would not have said one thing about race. For all you know, I'm black and so are those who posted the meme comment. So I'd suggest you quit race baiting and leave my thread.

So why didn't they use the little Caucasian girl template, or any other templates besides the ones depicting African-American females? Because the stereotype with narrow-minded racist sheep is that it's single black females that are on welfare or working at McDonalds, or 15 with three kids. You can try to dig yourselves out of this hole all you want, but the truth is plain to see.

Great meme comment brother!! And these members of congress only have to serve ONE term... what kind of crap is that???!!!!! Seems to me a solder does a HELL of a lot more in their 4 years,.. than any memeber of congress. I like this meme a LOT!!!!! Keep going!

soldier (n.)
c. 1300, souder, from Old French soudier, soldier "one who serves in the army for pay," from Medieval Latin soldarius "a soldier" (source also of Spanish soldado, Italian soldato), literally "one having pay," from Late Latin soldum, extended sense of accusative of Latin solidus, name of a Roman gold coin (see solidus).

Did you not read the definition of the word soldier I provided? Soldier means someone who has been paid to serve in the army. Last I checked the army still kills people, making soldiers "paid killers". If the army has stopped killing people then I am wrong and apologize.

Fair enough, but they generally fight for what they believe. The only reason we have an army is because we thought it was time to become independent. In the total united states armed forces, in the Vietnam war: 25% of total soldiers in the army where draftees (http://history-world.org/vietnam_war_statistics.htm). Of the 75% of volunteers, 81% said they did it because they wanted to be like parents ( or parent figures) and to fight for what they believe in. That means only 19% are "in it for the money". I digress.
Note: In my response to my previous comment to you: I apolagize for possibly coming off as rude, This is simply put a "touchy subject matter" for me.

I'd like to see how many troops would exist if it was unpaid.

Alright you have a point. We definitely would have a much smaller army, yet we would also have a much more willing army, because there would be a lot less people there because they couldn't find any other job.

I would also like to see how the military style would change if there were a lot less troops. The arrogant bully mentality could be replaced with intelligent strategy.

Agreed. We would be less like russia, more like Isreal (World War 2 vs. 6 day war)

Amen to THIS.

Then maybe the "adults" should get a better job that pays more. Nothing should be stopping them.

It depends on if they fully completed school, some places won't accept you if you didn't get a college degree.

This is where personal responsibility comes in.

That's a cop-out.

Why are you talking about minorities? Are you racist? You do realise that there is poverty in every race, right? Not just minorities.

The percentage of minorities that make up our impoverished and incarcerated is disproportionate to the population as a whole. It's a systemic problem which originates with economic policies designed to keep poor people poor in general and people of color specifically. Reagan got the ball rolling and nearly every administration since has followed suit. The current minimum wage exemplifies this bias.. Because those most affected are those in socio-economic demographics that typically receive the least education and are relegated to minimum wage positions. I'm a college educated white male who has been both poor and wealthy, and yeah I'm kinda racist against rich white people. Thanks for asking :) having said all that.. I make memes to joke, not as a crusade for justice.. And I tend to take it to the outlier because that's funnier to me than sitting on the fence.

I agree with some of what you just said. Minimum wage was started to keep people in poverty; the rich stay rich and the poor stay poor. That was the design ofminimum wage and the unions that implimented it.

As for your bigotry toward rich white people, that's just a shame. That's telling me you have no problem with rich black people or rich Asian people, etc. Racism is terrible no matter the reasoning behind it.

And I generally create memes that I think are funny, but I also create memes like this that are political in nature and are serious.

If I lived in an Asian nation it's likely that I would have a problem with some rich Asians.. If I lived in an Arabic nation, Id have a huge problem with Saudi royals and the UAE By and large what I see in America is this: rich people of color working for positive change to advance their culture, and rich white Americans working to maintain the status quo. Granted, there are outliers in each case.. But when we're talking rich white Americans vs rich people of color, we're talking maybe a 500 to 1 differential.. So what's probably accurate is to say that I have a problem with selfish, arrogant people in power and the majority of those are white males.

Have you heard, "white" isn't even about skin color anymore. "Witness" now includes "certain behaviors that are considered white." It is now racist to treat people who behave differently according to how the they behave.

Actually, work EXPERIENCE is more important to an employer. It's actually about working your way up. You're supposed to work a crap, minimum wage job for a few years, ideally while you still live with your parents and have few financial obligations. Then the next employer, who pays a little more will say"okay, this guy can be relied on to show up and not jump ship first chance he gets." Both are important to employers. If you switch jobs every 3-6 months employers will go "hey, this guy's a flake and will jump ship first chance he gets."

Your meme was just destroyed, but that shouldn't lead you to concede the point. In fact, less than 1/4 of minimum wage earners are teenagers. I know, imgflip is a fact-free zone.

Destroyed? My meme has to do with 15 year old kids and them earning $15 an hour at McDonald's. Perhaps you're commenting on the wrong meme.

Look up Seattle economics and see what your $15 an hour minimum wage gets you.

No, your meme was about a $15 minimum wage, which you implied was only earned by, or at least mostly earned by 15-yr-olds. That is completely erroneous, thus your meme makes no sense. Or are you in favor for a $15 minimum wage for adults?

That's just.....just......

Wow.

Corporations be like

Lol!

I think I'll submit that
