The problem is so bad in the US you see people rioting in the street everyday.

A few weeks ago, here, there was a thread where all the libtard -hate-America types were insisting that people in Africa were just fine and hunger wasn't a problem and nobody was starving.
But now , WHOAAA NELLY America is where hunger is a problem and people are starving.
Man you people suck. That's one of the reasons I hate this site.
Originally posted by googlefudgeSo according to your article, the WORST case of "starvation" in the USA is Memphis, Tennessee. Unemployment is 7.5% and 26% of the population had experienced "food insecurity" at some point in the last 12 months.

Meanwhile in the ENTIRE COUNTRY of South Africa, unemployment is 25%, one in four people is hungry on a regular basis and half the population is "food insecure".

So, no. Nobody starves in the USA. Nobody starves in South Africa either - people starve in Somalia and Sudan.
But South Africa is far worse in terms of feeding its population than even the worst city in the USA.
By the way, your reference website is a pain in the ass - takes forever for the advertising and images and stuff to load.

Originally posted by AThousandYoungThe original article you posted said that the price of food affected the likelihood of those in employment rioting. You then suggested that in the US people don't starve but in South Africa they do. Clearly you were wrong and have completely changed tack and are now trying to say that people are financially worse off in South Africa, which nobody will dispute.

Dem-tards have made it clear they are not fans of the democratic process that their party is named after, nor are they very fond of other people's 1st Amendment rights...or any other rights of people that disagree with them. Quite the contrary, I could see a liberal Democrat controlled government becoming something very much like Stalinist Russia.
Look what they are doing to our college campuses.
No difference, none what-so-ever....

Libtard definition of Facist:
Law abiding citizens good. Gang thugs bad. I'm a facist.
"When and if fascism comes to America it will not be labeled 'made in Germany'; it will not be marked with a swastika; it will not even be called fascism; it will be called, of course, 'Americanism'." -- Halford E. Luccock, in Keeping Life Out of Confusion, 1938
"Sinclair Lewis aptly predicted in It Can't Happen Here that if fascism came to America it would come wrapped in the flag and whistling 'The Star Spangled Banner.' " -- Harrison Evans Salisbury, in The Many Americas Shall Be One, 1971.
Originally posted by SuzianneYeah yeah yeah Sinclair Lewis lived a long time ago and was he was right at the time, but he couldn't foresee the uber-left wing "social justice warriors" of today running around our college campuses that want to take away personal freedoms like free speech, etc and want to shut down and shout down all opposition in order to achieve their lofty goals of making everybody the same. They are the real fascists today.

Originally posted by FishHead111And who wants to call corporate pay-offs to politicians 'free speech'? You conservatards actually want to give human rights to corporations. Which free speech is more likely to be heard and heeded by politicians: opinions, or cold hard cash? Corporations need to be muzzled with regulations because obviously they cannot be trusted to act in America's best interest. Their only interests are their profits. And they only care about 'right now', they cannot see that by destroying the middle class, there will be no one left to buy their products and secure their profits. You talk about 'personal freedoms'... you don't give a good god-damn about personal freedoms. You suppress women's right to choose and you suppress equal rights for the LGBT community. All you care about is 'corporate freedoms'. So who are the 'real' fascists again?
