Skip,
We are not stereotyping...

No?

"...No matter who you talk to whether it would  be a Firefighter,
Paramedic or police officer the one thing that all agree  on is that
upon entering the homes of such people is 99% of them have a  huge
entertainment system of some kind.  All of the fancy gadgets  included.
Hi-Def surround sound, hi-def flat screen TV and hi-def whatever..."

"...I have been in those projects and other public funded type housing
areas, and the majority do have top of the line entertainment centers,
computers etc. Spend some time in your ED triage room sometime, Mom and
Dad bring all 4 kids in for the sniffles, when asked why they did not
see the family doc, they say they can't afford to pay him, yet both Mom
and Dad have top of the line cell phones, and each kid is listening to
his or her own I-pod and Dad excuses himself to step outside and
smoke..."
--Rick Moore, 9 April

"...How many times dose this happen?  Plane load of immigrants lands
from the airport.  Give the Triage nurse something vague that there kids
are experiencing like oh, umm "headache" for instance.  What a
coincidence, all of there children have the same signs and symptoms.
You know as well as I do that they get a warm meal and a full work up...
I agree that the 99% may be a bit exaggerated but I'm not way off..."

Forgive me for wondering whether you're a liar or simply an idiot.  

This thread has run well past the point of usefulness.
