Way too much thinking involved to come up with something meaningful I think. It's easier to point the finger and say "you people are bad."
Sadly, that is true. Some people are not very good at thinking.
How do you know they don’t live in the neighborhood? Often these “mom & pop type stores have the business on the bottom floor and an apartment that they live in on the 2nd floor. But even if they didn't live in the neighborhood, if you own in that neighborhood, you are a part of that neighborhood much more than someone who rents. If things go bad in the neighborhood the owners lose out, so he has a vested interest in the improvement of that neighborhood; the renter will just take his rent money somewhere else. People who own in a neighborhood, are a part of that community.
A parasite? Do you even know what a parasite is? If so, please explain how a person who opens a business that provides a needed service for that community; explain how such an action makes one a parasite of the community.
1870's are you kidding me??? ya got anything from this century? If that is the best you can come up with.... his point stands.
I already said they do have the right but it doesn't mean they are contributing to the community. They can do what they want but they aren't becoming members of the community, they just get their money and go home.
A parasite latches on to something and feeds off it. Where I live, they don't live in the neighborhood. None of the people in the corner stores where I live stay in the neighborhood. They just get their money and go home.
They are part of the community if they reside there not if they just sell Newports and hot Cheetos and drive home to the suburbs every night. They have the right to do it but they are sucking money out of the hood and not putting any back in.
Unlike a parasite, these people provide much needed services and products for the community. Yeah they do it at a cost, but if the people of the community didn’t see the cost as worth it, they would not buy from their store and they would go outta business.
It doesn’t matter if they live there or not, they are providing services to the community thus they are not parasites. Your argument failed.
I don’t know your community, what does it have that will attract asian customers? And what are you doing to build and improve the community?
Most in the neighborhood don't have a choice because they need a store within walking distance. They take advantage of that fact and charge higher prices for their stuff. Parasites take from their host and give nothing.
Yes it does matter because you are steady talking about they are a part of the community when they are not. They just extract money and go on about their business.
You don't even care about the trials your people face or that they are being exploited. I have worked in the YMCA, the public school system, the park board, Junior Achievement, Sunday school, and my local community college trying to reach young people. I do my part and I have helped many youngsters open their eyes. I see the challenges they face and many don't make it. You can't help everybody but you can do your part for your people.
They do have a choice; it’s not like everyone would starve to death if the store was not there, they could go out of their way to buy where ever they would buy if the store was not there. You act as if the neighborhood would be better off without them, yet your words prove them to be a necessary addition to the neighborhood.
This time you’ve proven your own parasite claim to be wrong because according to you, they provide goods and services in your neighborhood; a place where nobody else is willing to. You call them parasites, but when you describe what they do, they sound more like heroes.
Their store is a part of the community. Because they opened the store, they are contributing to the community.
The money is leaving the community anyway; the only difference is people don’t have to spend the money, time, and inconvenience of going out of their way to take their money somewhere else. If they weren’t providing a service to the community, nobody would shop there and they would go out of business. Just because you don’t like them, doesn’t mean nobody else does.
It doesn't sound like the people in your community are not being exploited; they are being offered a service, which they gladly accept.
That is a shame. If he had it copyrighted he could sue them for everything they've got. Very unfortunate.
Sounds like they are doing what Walmart has been doing forever; albeit on a smaller scale. Shame though. But Asians aren't the only ones guilty of this type of stuff.
You obviously have never lived in a black neighborhood. They provide overpriced crap and convenience, not value. Parasites sucking off the community and not giving anything back but Hot Cheetos, Newports, and Now&Laters. They aren't helping but hurting the community.
