There lies the truth behind the eviction of thousands of poor people residing by the river. For years housing next to the river was considered slum area and of little value. Nobody cared about the poor families living there. Nobody cared about the squalor the children were raised in. Until some smart developer realised, those poor imbeciles

Poor imbeciles, wow that's deep logic. Poor and disenfranchised equals stupidity or as you call them imbeciles...What do you call women who sell fried banana because they do not have a formal education and have to raise children?

Fried banana imbeciles ???

Stupidity is not a label to insult. It is a title given by society for stupid acts.
