Hey Joel, good link. It's seems to be a very good conceptual piece, but the Verbiage? Not cool in my book. Ah well. I hope the points the writer makes rings true for lots of people,and I hope it keeps the conversation going about welfare and all its pro's and con's.
Yes, the verbiage is very typical of cracked.com. They tend to mix a lot of serious issues with irreverence, and the vocabulary is part of their style. To me it's actually a bit refreshing, but I think we've disagreed on the moral relevance of verbiage before. Speaking of which, the Guardian recently had an interesting article on swearing:"http://www.guardian.co.uk/commentisfree/2013/may/29/gods-bones-fucabomb-swear-words-offend
