Re: Maybe I'm being judgmental but...
seriously, did you even think this out before you wrote it down in words we can all see...you know when you hit send we can all see this right?? you cannot really believe this bullsh!t...I refuse to believe that people like you and your narrow mindedness exist
I don't think she's studied the link between poverty and disability either poor thing. It's like in her mind there are poor people over there ::points:: rich people up there ::nods and points:: .
Life isn't complex. Just super simple. Must be nice to think so simply.
I'm honestly so confused as to which side you are on.

The kids can eat the cigarettes?
Children of poor people should be punished.
HAHAHAH!! THAT'S why poor people shouldn't get skittles! It comes full circle - hooray!

ARE YOU F'ING KIDDING ME?! So people who need EBT have shitty lives?? So the fact that I'm in college full time, DF works 58+hrs a week, but since our rent has recently gone up, and I'm unable to work while I'm in college, causing us to us EBT to supplement for groceries, means we have a shitty life?? WHOA. You need to get of your fvcking high horse, a$$hole.
No I am not becasue I buy my childs food with no assistance. I am sorry but if you are ona gov't program then you get NEEDS and NEEDS only! They need to be Healthy Options and not just a bog full of sh*t. If you want sugar crap ceral then pay for it with money. No I do not believe my tax dollars should pay for things that are not needs. Also just to add, no I do not buy my child sugar ceral, nor did my parents buy it for me.
Totally missing my point. I don't think kids should starve. It bothers me that buy getting assistance to feed her kids it enables her irresponsible behavior. A big reason why the generational poverty cycle is so hard to break is because assistance programs keep people dependent on them instead of helping them better their situations.

U do not get it. Parents on foodstamps are generally seeking out help so that they can get away from buying a "bog full of sh*t". No one goes to through that process just to get cadbury mini eggs. You are assuming poor = dumb.
I'm sorry for that.
all the crappy stuff said in this thread about people using government assistance and THIS is what gets you upset?
Thanks. I am all for heloing but it should be usuful. I get you want, but I shouldn't pay for your wants. Sorry, even if the chix on here call me a "tool" for this.
No bogs for poor people, either.
I know! This is why I buy organic! Everyone complains that it is so expensive, but it's expensive because the government subsidies non-organic food, which just keeps the cost down.
Organic food is so much better for you,especially the meat. There is no crap and additives and hormones in it. I budget for my food, I don't need the government subsidies to make food affordable to me. I'm so glad we are on the same page on this. I hate when people feed their kids non-organic meat because they complain organic is too expensive!!!!!!!!! Those people are soooooo lazy!!!!!!!!!
If this is true, then buy needs with your EBT's and pay cash for th candy and non needs. Makes since to me. Yep I get the economy, my family has cut back a lot and given up a lot of things, people on this programs will have to do the same. That is just life it is the way it works. I fell no shame.
I've had to read your posts serveal times now just to figure out WTF you typed. Please use REAL words and construct REAL sentences.
::breath::
I can't believe some of you jerks are really begrudging less fortunate kids and few M&Ms and Cadbury Creme Eggs. REALLY?!!! JCOAB get off of your high horses and worry about your own damnfamily. The .0002 cents that you paid to allow some kid a little normalcy doesn't effect you THAT much that you have to make a diickwad out of yourself in this thread.
Would you feel better if the kids came to your house on Easter morning and said, 'Thank you so much for paying your taxes so I could wake up to a surprise ... you're a great American!!!'
Jerks.

Technically I wasn't speaking, I was typing a "thumbs up symbol" on a bold section of a PP.
;0)
Wow, you're so cool.
Awesome.
bwahahaha Hamidowns!!!!!!!!
I am so happy you are each minding my tax dollars, these poor people who want want want are draining me....keeping up with their needs is all I can do
Wait, that's your response? TBH I don't know if Major's post was directed at you or dreamsicle, but her response was valid either way.
MY point is that you claim EBT = Shitty life. Untrue. Although what I'm dealing with right now is difficult, it is by no means "shitty". My family is well-fed and well-nourished.
I was waiting for someone to catch that.
I don't care what people use their EBT for. That's none of my concern. The fact that a small portion of my tax dollars goes to their assistance is the last thing I need to be worried about. I've got bigger problems.
I'm just catching up. No, actually, that's a big fat FAIL on the comprehension on why people end up under the poverty line, the cycle of poverty, and really just a general understanding of the job economy right now.
So, to recap, here's where we are. Let me know if I've got this right, because I want to laminate this and hand it out to my section 8 neighbors and their extended visitors.
ACCEPTABLE USES OF HANDOUTS
1. soap and clothing for your grubby children
2. healthy food like so much meat, chix, fresh produce, milk products, ect. (Note: creme eggs, while milk products, are exempted from the list)
3. bootstraps
UNACCEPTABLE USES OF HANDOUTS
1. soap and clothing for you
2. Candy that celebrates Jesus and/or pagan spring festivities
3. Skittles
4. cigarettes and booze
5. bogs
No, I'm not on any type of assistance.

Thank you, that made me giggle.
My response would cause this thread to go for another 10 pages, so I kept it light. I'll save my political rants for another website. This is purely entertainment for me.
Sigh. I think MN's point was that clearly other people in this thread care a great deal about what people use their EBT for and have made very judgmental comments about how people should use their EBT.
Okay, I see your point now. The way your worded things previously didn't seem as through we're arguing the same point here. EBT isn't something that people should be ashamed to use if they need it. Without it, we'd be eating ramen noodles, and spaghetti every week.
I get upset when people assume that somehow my life is "less" because I have to use a bit of government assistance.
As evidenced by your earlier posts today, you're just bitter the government didn't step in you help you. Too bad, so sad.
Probably should have SP's that one, but who really cares. No, i wouldn't feel better at all. I don't think an Easter Basket is a NEED and you act as though it is only .000002 whatever. I sure in hell pay a sh*t ton more taxes then that to a LONG LINE of Gov't entitlements and I am tied of all of them! And FYI if things keep going the way they are going, I won't have to worry about them because they won't exist because we will not have the money to pay for them anymore. yes, that will be sad for the people who need them, but when you are spending money on needs and not wants then too bad. If you can't afford an easter basket for your kids I am sorry, but at the same time Easter isn't about candy it is about Jesus, so tell your kids about that instead of the Easter Bunny. And yes I can afford an Easter Basket for my kid, but we don't have one for him this year, and I a seriously doubt he will need any therapy because he didn't get one. I feel bad for the kids, I do, but at the same time that is the way things work, and there are plenty of FREE Things you can take your kids to! Community easter hunts, church easter hunts, make a picnic and hit the park, make pancakes that morning, tell them the story of Easter. I doubt any child's life will be ruined because they didn't get some skittles on easter.
Are you the same type of person who thinks that your Social Security check will support you one day when you are old and can not work? Are you counting on that money too?
I heart you.
I do not care if someone on food stamps is buying candy. Candy is good, it makes people happy. Happy people = less violence.
I do think someone should be required to pass a drug test before becoming eligible for government assistance.
Her original post was being factitious. You missed the sarcasm.
gawdammit ESF - you made me wake up my kid with my lolllz.
