Party doesn't matter in fight against homeless

It seems one way to unite people of both parties against a common enemy is for a church to propose a tent city. It may be just the way the media reports it, but it seems like there are ten people speaking against them for every one who speaks up for them.

It shows how screwed up both the democrats and republicans are when it comes to facing that which they support.

If you buy into the stereotyping, democrats tend to favor government handling things so people don't go hungry and homeless, while republicans tend to favor leaving much of it up to charity and private donations. That's why I think people who buy into partisan politics, but speak against tent cities, are so full of shit that they could be given enemas through their ears!

Democrats

Does it not dawn on these morons that the need for a tent city is because the government isn't providing enough support for the homeless? Democrats say they want everyone to eat and have a place to sleep, but, when it really comes to helping those in need, they close the doors, and hop in their Lexi for the drive home. Half the people are there to make sure we turn down those who only claim to be hungry, but really own a ten year-old car outright (like they can eat their car), and the other half works in administration doing things like exploiting the homeless for marketing purposes and making sure they get increased funding to help cover employees' raises next year.

The people in the party that fights for the welfare of the poor can't stand the idea of seeing the homeless in their neighborhoods! After all, who knows who these people really are? Well, I have an answer to that question: They're the same damn people you think we need to make sure have food to eat, and a place to sleep!

Republicans

Do you know how republicans can keep straight faces speaking out against tent cities while supporting the party that believes private charity is one of the keys to solving the problem with the poor? I do: they're dumbshits. They don't get it.

It was funny when something like that was on an episode of All in the Family, but it's fucking sad when real people sound like Archie Bunker without his compassion!

Tent cities are private charities working to resolve the problem, you dumbshits! Pull your heads out of your asses!

What they should do

People of both these parties should face up to the responsibility they espouse. Democrats should care that people are hungry and homeless, and republicans should make sure charity works for them. They should take them clothing, coats, and food so they put their money where their mouths are, and quit opening those mouths to prove they are all hypocrites!

That's my take.

Should Bonds' HR record count?

Remember when your teacher told you there was no such thing as a stupid question? That was bullshit.

Maris's record for home runs in a season stood with an asterisk for years. Why? Because he hit 61 home runs in a 162 game season, and Babe Ruth hit 60 in only 154 games. So who hit the most home runs in a season?

If you even started to calculate, you're a dumbshit! One only needs the ability to count to answer the question. 61 is more than 60. Maris held the record, even if it was just an odd season for a mediocre player. And that, more than anything, was the reason for the asterisk. Fans could have embraced Mantle breaking the Babe's record, but Maris? No way.

Enter the steroid era. In one season, Maris's record is shattered by not one, but two players. A couple of years later, Bonds beats that record with 73. It turns out, though, that he was on steroids when he did it. Many fans claim he cheated, and it shouldn't count. They're dumbshits, I tell you!

First of all, it wasn't cheating because there was no rule against it. Maybe there should have been, but there wasn't. It was no more cheating when Bonds did it than was taking extra batting practice. Both are done to gain a competitive advantage, and both were legal according to the rules.

But Bonds is an asshole, some say. So what? If you asterisk Bonds' record, you'd have to asterisk McGwire's too. So that makes Sosa the record holder because he hasn't been caught, or admitted to, taking steroids?

It gets to the point of just being stupid, like the people who suggest such nonsense. 73 is the most balls hit out of the stadium by one player from the start of one season to the end of that season. Bonds did it. Any commentary past that is just sour grapes being turned into bad whine.

That's my take.
