To get to the other side.

A few months ago I would've said that metaphorically. The chicken was suicidal.

Today I say that literally.

There is an ice cream shop across the street and god damn it that chicken deserves his brownie sundae and there is not a single vehicle in the world that will stop him!

HAVE A NICE DAY, TUMBLR.

ASK US SOME QUESTIONS.

______________________________________

you know, from a biological standpoint, chickens are not sapient like humans are; that is, they are not aware of or curious about their surroundings unless it pertains to food or danger. A chicken runs on instincts, it has no "intent", ergo the question "WHY did the chicken cross the road" is fallacious, as it assumes the chicken knows what a road is and is making a conscious choice to cross it. A chicken has no concept of roads, it can no more choose to cross one than you or I could choose to "cross" an invisible scent trail only animals can perceive. We're not aware of it and we don't care, we are simply walking in a straight line.

TL;DR chicken don't give a shit.

I've been assigned this question because I guess I'm the most "conservative" out of all of us despite the fact that I don't really have many strong opinions when it comes to politics, aside from the fact that I believe in freedom and equality for all.

I'm not sure if conservatives really "justify" this or have a justification. In my personal opinion, I think the cycle of poverty exists for a huge number of reasons, some unfortunate, some that are "just life."

For one, I think a huge part of it is the fact that education is so damn unattainable and on top of that, employers everywhere keep raising their standards to degrees higher than an Associate's or Bachelor's Degree. I am a huge proponent of higher education and therefore I think college should be more of an attainable thing for everybody, especially the lower classes.

And of course, the conservative comes out - I'm really not interested in paying for anyone else to live unless I explicitly decide to do so on my own free will. I understand the need for things like welfare and food stamps and appreciate their existence. But PERSONALLY, I'd rather my money go toward helping lower-income families find adequate jobs to support my family and save the welfare-type programs for people who actually cannot work, such as those with disabilities. Unfortunately, however, the system is flawed and the jobs that certain programs help the lower-income families find barely pay enough to support one person, let alone a family. So I really understand why welfare and food stamps are in use by more than just those who can't work and I do not look down on ANYONE who is taking advantage of these government assistance programs.

I think the nation is just stuck in a rut right now. College is too expensive, government assistance programs suck, quality employment is scarce, and unfortunately when the struggling families procreate, their kids are likely bound to live the same impoverished life unless they get lucky.

My solution: make college more attainable and make government assistant programs just better in general, such as improving the job placement programs.

The way I see it is that if a parent living below the poverty line were to be able to find a job with good enough pay to support his family (and maybe even create a savings), and college was less expensive/government scholarships were more abundant, the parent could send his kids to college, and those kids could more easily find well-paying jobs to support their families and end the cycle of poverty that they otherwise might have been stuck in.

I'm probably not conservative enough to answer this question, but I did my best. I honestly don't have that many opinions politically, I just think we've got a lot of work to do!

Thanks for the great question, by the way - it's been sitting in our ask box being stared at for days now. I finally decided I was ready to tackle it tonight!
