I Don't Know Why This Irks Me So!

See Raven I would be you, crying in the store! It's just not right, at all! 

They really do track that stuff? You just made me even more angry 

etask: Raven do you think these folks know better? 

I believe that they don't have the skills, nor knowledge. Notice that most school curriculum don't offer the basic skills in most schools, such as home economics, industrial arts, woodworking, and the like. They know that not all students are college bound. If you keep the workforce ignorant then you can control them. It is set up for the have and have nots.
That's my role as a union activist to stir the pot, agitate, educate, mobilize.

I don't agree... I didn't have anyone teach me how to shop.. I came from an upper middle class family.. but when I left the nest and got on assistance I had to learn a whole other game!

Common sense TO ME says buy this log of beef make a few dishes that will last for the week that way you won't be without food by the end of the month!

How mofo can buy that quickie stuff and live off of it for one month is beyond me 

Ro
Resilence will lead to making wise choices. You had common sense.

just a question..but why do you think its the governments job to teach our people how to eat and shop? and let me get this right..(ok first let me say i'm pmsing) but let me get this right you cried becaues of the unhealthy crap our people were buying with your hard earned tax money..but are you crying for the other uses or actually wastes of your hard earned tax money the government has done..that $600 toilet seat is not an urban myth. the billions upon billions to fight a non existent war and a search for weapons of mass destruction is not a myth..but you were crying in a store because of unhealthy food our people were buying..oh ok..but back to my original question why is it the governments job to teach our people how to eat and shop healthy...isn't it our responsibility to teach our people.  are some of these people relatives of yours..so who is in closer contact with your people to teach them better..you or the government..

Because they are giving them a free handout, all of my siblings are employed  educated and self-efficient. They don't rely on the system.
If you truly understand the history of our people you will realize why we are in certain situations.
It's was because of my hard earned tax dollars being abused. Here I was working 2 jobs to make sure that I had the extras and some people are totally dependent on others to supply them with their needs.
You don't know me and all that I do to contribute to people. No need to respond, my time is too valuable.

Simply education. We know from statistics that poor people are the most unhealthy group in America right now. Childhood obesity, diabetes, and HBp runs high.  However, if you don't know better how can you do better?  Its a very fine line because the same folks that got teh EBT that my taxes are paying for are the same folks on Medicaid with these chronic conditions, that my taxes pay for.  But how do you monitor this and still give people freedom of choice and not be a communist or dictator society?

Honestly I feel like this if you are accepting aid then you SHOULD have certain rights restricted! 

I really feel that they shouldn't be able to purchase the crap that they do...And I am not buying that they don't know better nope sure ain't buying that at all.... like I said before I think most have the "fukk it's free" mentality so they just buy shiot for the sake of buying it! Flat out LAZY! Yes I said it 

Get cho nozey azz out dem folks baskets.  LOL 

Seriously, a lot of those girls are young and don't really know how to cook.  At least they were buying FOOD and not selling their cards for money for other shiggidey!!!!

LOL....forget you... I wish I weren't that Nosey.. I really do..but I couldn't help but notice!

And unfortunatly these weren't young folks...older people Faith I kid you not! That I think is what made it even worse for me..OLDER mofo that should know better! I'm saying there were 6 lines opened up with at least 7 folks in each line 40 people from my community making f'ed up choices ughhhhhhhhhhh it just really strikes a cord with me!
