Quote from MintJulep :
Before EBT's and the food stamps/monopoly looking food stamp money to purchase food at grocery stores, people received commodities. You would go to a central distribution center and pick up your commodities consisting of dried milk, powered eggs, rice, beans, peanut butter, canned meat, cheese and canned vegetables.

Go back to that type of food distribution program and no more complaints about what recipients buy. No more bitching about frozen pizzas, prime meat, and junk food purchases.
I was going to say that's what we should do, but didn't because I figured someone would bitch and call me heartless...

Quote from MintJulep :
How is rice, dried beans, peanut butter, powered milk and eggs, cheese, and canned vegetables unhealthy? And the canned meat from the commodity days was far from pink slime.
Both of you: Whats so bad about pink slime? From what I can tell its simply improperly labeled added beef products.

Quote from Curtieson :
Why don't we ever ask "Why did she have the kid if she couldn't support herself?"

3 minutes of gratification that I have to pay for the rest of MY life? Buck up b*tch...you made your choice...live with it. And just another case of a couple of bad apples ruining it for the other ladies that married young have two kids, no secondary education, get abandoned by a d*ckhead, and can't get anything to support their children.
Just because she was married and got 6 mins of pleasure doesnt make her any less responsible for the choices she made than the unmarried woman.

Ummm, yes...yes it does.

Going through all the steps (ok, fine...remove marriage, they were living together in sin for 10 years...but still in a committed relationship) and having a DB cheat on you and leave you high and dry is COMPLETELY different than being 20, sleeping around and getting preggers because you didn't feel like using a condom that day.

Nothing to forget when you have an IUD in place. Smilie

Unless you start posting jiggles you wont change my mind and I figure I wont change yours either.

Not sure what a IUD is even...guessing something in the uterus / birth control...but I didn't mention FORGETTING at all. But who is going to pay for said UDF anyway?

I knew her so I know what she got. I adjusted it a little bit.

Also, you have to pay it back & medical costs are paid back from your estate after age 55.

As I said, guys should be paying their child support, if not, throw them in jail.

Yeah..its some kinda hormone\cervix plug.

Prolifers should pay it! They'd be winning since there wouldnt be any choice in the matter and less babies getting slopped, chopped, and vacuum tubed out. bounce
Otherwise it would come out of the same budget that pays for free birth control @ places like planned parenthood. 1 month of the posted California welfare money would easily pay for a device that is reported to last 5 yrs. My wife's IUD was in the 500-700 range w/ installation. Insurance covered it - the deductible.

The customers will pay for the UDF. Smilie

And yet they get picked up in nice vehicles to go home to their nice apartments/single family residences where they watch cable TV on their nice big screen LEDs. When they get bored of Nickelodeon then they play an online game on their nice computer via cable internet.

But yeah, no $$ for school lunch. Mmmhmm.

And no, I'm not heartless, I support my church's food kitchen with donations. But that's my CHOICE.

I would like to see some real data before assuming "they" drive luxury cars and have all the goodies they "shouldn't" have because they are on welfare. Not saying there aren't undeserving people on welfare but seems silly to assume it's ALL bad.

With just $630 a month she'll have to, but how is she supposed to take care of the kid while she works? The husband or boyfriend is probably unreliable, and American mobility results in relatives not commonly being nearby.

Think of a real solution instead of just austerity and punishment, the favorite solutions of the very people who caused our current economic mess.

You seem to blame the women more than the men. By any chance did you have a bitter break up?

there should be a limit on how many kids broke people should have

after a certain amount they should be forced to give them up to people who can support themselves

half the time the kids who grow up poor turn out to be criminals anyway
