Huh? Seabass did not broaden the meaning of 'poor'. He quoted one of that word's eight dictionary definitions. Your assertion that Seabass is broadening the definition is flat out wrong. Considering you brought your own private meaning for 'hero'* to bear on a recent discussion, it also breaks another irony meter.

https://www.pbs.org/newshour/politics/p ... LzQ1kZy1rQLITTLE ROCK, Ark. — A political action committee said Friday that it won’t pull a widely condemned radio ad that suggests white Democrats will lynch African-Americans if they win in midterm elections in Arkansas next month.
Strictly speaking, he could not. Soros was 14 when the WWII ended in Europe. But that's just a quibble. More importantly, even at their most desperate, that is with the announcement of the Volkssturm on 16 October 1944, the Nazis limited the intake to people over 16 and under 60. It is of course possible that in their desperation they ignored the the age limit if a 14 year made himself available to serve as an ordnance absorption device, but even then they would not second him to the SS. He'd be allotted to some ordinary Wehrmacht unit instead. Lastly, before anyone gets to the level of Unterscharführer, the equivalent of Corporal, he'd have to filter upwards through five other SS ranks, and do so in the ten months Germany occupied Hungary.
Well, whaddya expect, not only did it wreck the whole Southern economic model, but now they have become uppity, demanding rights and equality and all manners of considerations...Animavore wrote: ↑Wed Oct 31, 2018 2:58 amhttp://time.com/4236640/donald-trump-ra ... lHEnnXPVGINearly 20% of Trump Fans Think Freeing the Slaves Was a Bad Idea
I don't know how you see Soros as 'poor' in any sense, but I don't deny that you DO see it that way.Hermit wrote: ↑Tue Oct 30, 2018 11:21 pmHuh? Seabass did not broaden the meaning of 'poor'.

*I don't limit myself to the heroes offered by wikipedia, or my dictionary. Instead celebrating the best of anyone I want to that way.
He WAS in the SS (if his own words are to be believed). So would you or I have been, in his circumstances.
Mr. Kemp’s attempts to prevent people from voting exemplify the familiar ways in which access to the ballot has been restricted for people of color across the United States. But voter suppression also happens in ways that aren’t as well-known, and are even more insidious. In particular, local prosecutors have increasingly brought criminal charges against black voters and community activists for small technical infractions. They’re sending the frightening message that casting a ballot is risky — a message that resonates even when the charges turn out to be baseless and the people charged are acquitted.
In a particularly disturbing case, Olivia Pearson, a grandmother and lifelong resident of Coffee County, Ga., found herself on trial this year on charges of felony voter fraud. It began six years ago, on the first day of early voting in Georgia, when a black woman named Diewanna Robinson went to cast her ballot. Ms. Robinson, then 21, had never voted before and didn’t know how to operate the electronic voting machine, reported Buzzfeed. She asked Ms. Pearson, more than 30 years her senior, for help. Ms. Robinson would later testify that Ms. Pearson informed her where the card went in the machine and told her to “just go through and make my own selections on who I wanted to vote for.” Ms. Pearson walked away before Ms. Robinson started voting.
Almost four years later, Ms. Pearson received a letter from District Attorney George Barnhill’s office, informing her that she was facing felony charges for improperly assisting Ms. Robinson. The city councilwoman and community leader was arrested and booked. She had never been in trouble with the law, but now she found herself facing up to 15 years in prison.
When residents in Quitman County, Ga., elected a majority-black school board for the first time in 2010, Mr. Kemp’s office and the Georgia Bureau of Investigation sent armed investigators to interrogate residents about voter fraud and ultimately charged 12 organizers. One Quitman resident, Debra Dennard, was charged with two felonies for helping her partly blind father fill out his absentee ballot. Lula Smart was accused of assisting voters by carrying their sealed absentee ballots to the mailbox. She was charged with 32 felony counts. If convicted, she faced over 100 years in prison.
Conservatives often claim there’s a need for new laws and more punishments because of voter fraud. After losing the popular vote by three million votes, President Trump claimed — without a stitch of evidence — that millions of people had voted illegally.
But Mr. Kemp’s own aide testified just last year that they “haven’t had illegal votes in Georgia.” Even the conservative Heritage Foundation’s voter fraud database, intended to showcase “nefarious election activity,” includes less than 20 voter fraud cases in Georgia, over two decades and out of tens of millions of cast votes.
