[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Not the University, but the state itself. Did you know that [b]75% of the population [/b]is on welfare??? Jesus Christ, its like those people don't even try to get a damn job. If not for Mississippi, WV would be the worst and poorest state in the union.[/quote]Highly skeptical of this figure.  Certainly I would expect a higher percentage than much of the rest of the country but 3/4 of the population?  I doubt it.  I've just googled it and I'm having difficulty finding a stat of the sort you've published, OP.

On another note, I noticed that you just assumed that the problem is with people who don't want to get jobs.  You're assuming the jobs are there to get.  I think you're a little naive about the isolation of rural poverty.  I'm sure there are deadbeats just like anywhere else who don't want to work but I'm confident that there are also a lot of people who would love to have a job but there's nothing near them and they don't have a car.  These people have enough problems without the snobs on DCUM looking down on them.[/quote]
