You just claimed you got your idea from watching a tv program about a poor but moral little girl.

Critical thinking...I'm clearly no match.

A movie based on real life. Millions of people were dirt poor during the Depression, yet millions DID NOT resort to crime. Please tell me why not?

They weren't addicted to pot, meth, cocaine, heroin, etc. They also didn't have people chewing off the faces of homeless people or frequent mass shootings.

We're a very drugged up society.

When a rich person who steals which is a crime does so out of greed.

I think your thread is a failure by the way, this is how many times you've coined the phrase neo-prog?

How's about neocons?
Neoconservatism - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Noun
A neoconservative.

neo prog refers to music.

Yes or no, does being poor equate to being a criminal? Neo Cons believe in invading sovereign countries. They're just as bad as Neo Progs.

Once again, there is no such thing as a neoprog, neoprog refers to progressive music, not to anything political.

Does poor equate to being a criminal? NO.

There are millions of Americans below the poverty line today...and yet most of them are not committing any "crimes".

Not all crimes are being committed by those Americans below the povetry line either.

Which crimes are you attributing to poverty or the impoverished which are not being committed in the same ratio by those above the poverty line?

What are you talking about? A Neo Prog is short for Neo Progressive. I've been using the term for years and I recently defined it again a week or two ago. If you have Neo Cons, logic dictates, you must have Neo Progs. They're both destructive to our nation.

Nojiveman, for you:

A Neo Prog is a modern day leftist/socialist/Marxist. You have zero respect for anyone that has an opinion that differs from your own. You will demonize them and destroy them into submission or silence if you can. You believe in and support a HUGE government industrial complex that should support everyone from birth to death. You believe that any and all means are necessary to achieve your desired outcome; that includes lying, hypocrisy, double standards and never taking responsibility for your actions and always blaming the opposition. You most likely are atheists/agnostic and secular humanism is your defacto god. Your belief system is modern day fascism and is evil.

That clear enough for ya?
