ROTFL ! ! ! So what you are saying is that you lost your previous argument about poverty being solely the fault of the poor themselves not pulling themselves out by their own, and that it is their own fault. Now you say that there are, quote "horrible interferences" that keep them down. You just admitted that you lost the argument. LOL! People, please comment as to wether the above statement by Shemp completely annihilates his previous argument about poverty, and leaves MDIXON as the soul heartless proponent of that view. Shemp. I am totally convinced that you are actually a comedian and have been taking the piss out of us for months with your spoof. It is the second time in a month I have thought that about you. HILARIOUS SHEMP !....you had me going. You are VERY funny. Poor MDIXON he is all alone in his argument now. Just when he thought he had a buddy. Oh well MDIXON, never mind, you will get better....over time.
