Genocide isn't only physical murder. I'm broadening the concept. If you kill the spirit and the future for vast classes of people by giving them free stuff taken from others, it's still genocide. They are biologically present, but you have destroyed what makes life worth living: challenge, struggle, accomplishment, virtue, strength, honor. What are you left with? Groups of ineffective and castrated people that nobody wants to be around.

I'd argue the reverse might as well be a form of genocide.
They are biologically present, but you have destroyed what makes life worth living: challenge, struggle, accomplishment, virtue, strength, honor
Fuck you, there's still plenty of ways to have that even if you're poor, but they become fewer and fewer when the government is deliberately avoiding helping them when they are able to.
but you have destroyed what makes life worth living: challenge, struggle, accomplishment, virtue, strength, honor.
Right! Juggle the system so the top 20% of Americans have 88% of the wealth. Ban unions and cut minimum wage. Do your damned best to keep your wealth by undermining all sorts of government support for the needy, and then blame the poor for being poor and refuse to help them.
God bless America! That's what Jesus wanted.
What the hell would you know about "challenge, struggle, accomplishment, virtue, strength, honor"? You're a Republican pedophile who takes everything from people and then blames them for having nothing, while diddling their kids all the while.
Generosity is genocide, now?
Um, no, fucktard; words mean things and while you might attempt to broaden the definition of genocide to include the willful destruction of a specific cultural identity, you cannot burden the term "genocide" with the baggage of a new and wholly unrelated definition - i.e., 'Any government stipend program I dislike.' (...or are you arguing that unrelieved poverty is a defining and thus necessary part of some cultures?)
That is so asinine it doesn't deserve even the time we're giving it here.
I don't know if you're being disingenuous or if you really are as dumb as you sound. Either way, your word - redefinition project is an attempt to dilute the true horror of genocide in service to your naked greed and self-interest.
Oh wow. You're a special kind of scumfuck, huh? Why don't you try a little of that "challenge" that you're so quick to condemn others to, hm? I'll even start you off with a hint: strained ramen noodles and popcorn both go surprisingly well with chili powder and ground cayan pepper. You'll thank me around your fourth or fifth straight week with nothing else to eat thanks to all your money going to handle car trouble. Or fixing broken plumbing or floorboards in the new trailer you could barely afford after saving up everything you could for five years and borrowing the rest. Or an indefinsibly high medical bill for 23 seconds of the doctor looking at you with all the interest of an ADHD kid in Sunday school before telling you that you look fine and sending you home as you cough up a lung while doubled over in pain.
And that's assuming that you can find a job to begin with.
That's right. Among the top 1%, the only challenge they have is getting reservations at the right restaurants, the only struggle is waiting while their limousine fights its way through traffic, their only accomplishment is sitting in a boardroom voting themselves raises, their only virtue is they haven't been caught in anything illegal yet, their strength is in their golf swing, and they have no honor. It certainly makes them members of a group of ineffective and castrated people that nobody wants to be around.
if you expand a concept it dilutes it and essentially weakens the impact of the word. That's a given.
But here one is expanding it to the point of unrecognizability. This is like saying someone murdered your daughter by giving them an icecream.
Also..I checked the thread to see the context, take my advice..don't, soul-less fuckers.
If you kill the spirit and the future for vast classes of people by giving them free stuff taken from others, it's still genocide.
If you feed your child for nothing from food taken from your partner's wage, that's genocide. Raising the next generation exterminates it.
We eagerly await your reasoned, thoughtful solution to poverty. What, no solutions, just whining? Goodness me, I AM surprised!
The 'I'm All Right, Jack' attitude, spiced with a little more tl;dr.
Meanwhile, Norway: the only country to emerge economically intact, from the Dumbya-created worldwide recession that caused no doubt quite a few Christian families in the US - who no doubt voted for Dumbya: twice - to being reduced to begging for the welfare dollar. The irony being that Norway is a welfare state. NEXT!
You know dipshit, I bet I could teach you the meaning of genocide in but a few short hours. One should too, seeing as our planet is pretty much ruled by your traitor kind. I hate your weakness, your dependancy on your godhead for your continued existence. It is true, strengh only comes so you can protect those weaker than you, but so should we exalt the weakness itelf in the form of religious idiots getting free pass on denying reality? Those strong enough to exist in our universe without the need for some nice little blankey should be exalted, yet you`d rather attact and destroy such individuals.
Fuck, maybe he had some good points, for the mental cuddling of our young had become a civilisational problem I believe. Yes we should get the best chance at life we get, but it must still be a struggle, a competition of some sorts, less all our sexual systems just seem to fail. What I1m saying i guess is you get all the rights to welfare, standards of livin and basic human dignity, what you should not get is some carte blanche to be treated as a little snowflake and a cool person when you`re obviously not and most of all the attention from your interested gender of choice. Being awsome very much like having regular intercourse is a privledge, not a right, you get neither just by being born.
Confused?
So were we! You can find all of this, and more, on Fundies Say the Darndest Things!
