Is it your religion to not use birth control?
Do you not get to choose your religion?
Do you feel your taxes would be lowered if these people weren't on welfare?
Did you ever have unprotected sex prior to leaving school?
What happens if you never get a well paying job?

I'm Methodist as well and it's my problem so I don't see how it could not be yours.

I have no religious affiliation after being raised Catholic while growing up.

Nothing against religion if you choose to follow all of it which might including having a big family and having to scrape by. Don't put that on me though when you can't do the math about what it costs to raise a child

Do you feel your taxes would be lowered if these people weren't on welfare?

Not a chance.

Did you ever have unprotected sex prior to leaving school?

Honestly, only a few times. I usually bagged it.

What happens if you never get a well paying job?

And this is where I will clarify that I am not against food stamps, solely because I don't believe in punishing a child because of the mistakes of their parents.

Call me confused but you seem to be arguing both sides of this argument!

Nope, those who genuinely need help, those who have serious medical conditions, sick kids, sick old people... I give a pass and believe we need to help them.

Mother ****ers showing up to the free dental get together here in 50k suvs and carrying iphones don't need help they need to be busted in their mouths because they are blocking the people who really need the help.

I hate fraud, I hate leeches and I hate parasites.

Here is my point: It's not as black and white as some people say. There are cases where it is clearly an abuse and that should be handled, but in some cases people can't control their financial situation or other circumstances. To make an across the board assertion just isn't going to cut it.

I'm not arguing a side. I'm playing the devils advocate. It's slow and the board needs a lifter.

I agree with a lot of what you said, I'm just trying to see it as a whole.

Are you being intentionally over the top, or are you ignorant of our history?

This would prevent the buying of Lobster tails and Ribeyes

I don't think the government prints food stamps anymore.

Its all on a debit card.

Yes I agree with this. I wasn't trying to make an across the board assertion except for that bitch with 6 kids! As I clarified, the welfare system and food stamps has a rightful place for many and is abused by others, just like most government funded programs.

Now people are starting to get the big picture.

People are being LITERALLY domesticated by big govt...and they're now ok with that as long as they're taken care of.

This is nails on~

At least they will still have cell phones so they can call each other up and whine about their lack of food stamps.
