Should poor people live, or should they die? 😏 Let us know in the comments!

I have an uncomfortable feeling that some online news column comments are going to be like this in 5 years...

Depends on if we've already gotten through the "gays" by then. The system always needs a scapegoat. /s (but only barely)

The Onion shows time and time again that the perfect headline will have tons of upvotes and no comments. At least until I ruined it, sorry.
