I honestly can't even comprehend how a person has to get food stamps unless they are disabled or something, no offense OP. I have just always busted my ass and made shit happen for myself. Best of luck, hope you fins something soon to help you get off the stamps:toast:
If you lived by me I would ask if you wanted to work for me striping parking lots. I need a helper this year.



Exactly man. Like shit, I definitely used to shop lift these meal replacement bars from super markets to cut a meal out of my day, but I wouldn't get on food stamps when I had multiple people trying to get me on them cause I was a student paying my own way. I was just like naw man, that shit gives people the feeling of relief to buy shit. Idk, I mean you have a kid. I would say I get that, but why you have a kid? Seems preventable. Idk, maybe I am so neurotic I'm missing out on life by playing the preventable game, but I've done some shit with my life. I mean I could always do more, always. But I've always worked. Even if it was when I was 5 years old for my dad. Food stamps, shit makes you complacent. Borderline fatalist.

I don't think anyone should have to go to bed hungry

I'm sure all of the great humans in history have gone to bed hungry before. Shit I'm not poor at all and I went to bed hungry sometimes cause my parents were hard asses. Didn't hit me too much, but the amount of times I went to bed with no dinner was a little high. A plant that is slightly stressed will grow larger and bear more fruit than a plant that is protected and left alone.

What you say is true but only to a certain point.

A plant that is not getting enough nutrition will show it, although not always will it be apparent to a superficial examination.

A plant given just the right amount of everything at just the right time will always out preform any other method.

Humans may have similarities with plants but we are not plants.

I am sorry that food was withheld from you as a child.  Whatever justification you're using to make that OK in your head it was wrong to do that. No one will directly benefit from sending a child to bed hungry.

It's OK brother, my parents did the same shit at some point disciplining me, and although I have turned out to be quite an interesting individual, I do not credit either one of my parents with more credit in it than they deserve.

Let us all feast on the wisdom of knowledge and may we never know hunger again

Dude, shut the fuck up. Before a government coldly provided shitty processed food for free for poor people, poor people fed themselves from the fat of the land. And the able bodied would provide for their loved ones. My justification for not giving a shit when something shitty happens is because that's how you build life skills and character. Those are what make sure you never need food stamps and never go hungry in the first place.

But whatever man, justify amputating yourself because its easier than a hard cure. Like, most people I meet on welfare are just fucking mouth blowers with tons of kids. Idk man, I used to self describe as a communist, than I realized that poor people were either stupid or lacked any kind of work ethic at all.

The way I look at it is the way Kant looked at it. To tell if something is good or not, think if everyone acted that way or did that thing. What would happen? Now if everyone was a consumer and no producers, there would be neither producers nor consumers.

But yea man, cling to the fact I'm fucked in the head and you know what utopia looks like.

There are a number of reasons ppl can wind up on food stamps. While it shouldn't be a long term way of life there are ppl out there that abuse the system. But shit happens in life and that's why we have a safety net system set up. There's no shame in doing what you have to do as long as you're trying.

Anonymous #6...man you better hope you don't have some kind of major accident or have some kind of long term illness that prevents you from feeding yourself. Shit happens in life to good ppl. Have a hard time accepting your view of ppl who need help when you already admitted to shop lifting. Which is better...utilizing tax dollars to eat while trying to improve your situation or just saying fuck it I'll steal it?

they are about to change the food stamp system so those can only get it for 3months unless the applicant has a disability.

people that buy junk food with their food stamps will soon find out how little they will have to eat. if you shop proper like at an aldis or a save-a-lots you can stretch those out and be full. use coupons and your fuel perks advantage cards, shop wisely and check the circulars for sales.
go to food banks and get some extra shit.

We have over 50 million US citizens on food stamps, the government isn't going to limit it for 3 months unless you have a disability, where do you hear that?

Quote:
More than 500,000 and as many as 1 million of the nation’s poorest people will be cut off SNAP (formerly known as the Food Stamp Program) over the course of 2016, due to the return in many areas of a three-month limit on SNAP benefits for unemployed adults aged 18-49 who aren’t disabled or raising minor children.  These individuals will lose their food assistance benefits after three months regardless of how hard they are looking for work.  The impact will be felt in the 23 states that must or are choosing to reimpose the time limit in 2016.

Yeah I read about some people in my State that might get cut off, it's a very small percentage of the overall people in the program.

Young single unemployed people still need food assistance, these cuts are just for show.

bad stuff happens to good people, ill give you that. bad stuff doesn't happen as much to smart people, or as harsh a magnitude. Like, for instance, my personal mantra is prevention. I'll bend over backwards to not have to lift a finger in the future. I strive to take care of my body and keep my mind as fit and informed as possible. Plus I see fatalists everywhere making their situation worse. I won't be like them

And, the way I see it, food stamps takes away the survival instinct. Stealing doesn't. Food stamps is a product of a system that destroys the world, and perpetuates that system by causing dependency. Stealing sharpens your survival instinct and hurts those who try to use the marketplace for their own personal gains.

Look, I don't think in terms of morality, good or bad, etc. I think of structure and function. The overall aesthetic. But you should continue to look at stuff through the eyes of morality. I say that cause it gives me a competative advantage. Not cause thinking morally will benefit you.

Did you know that some people actually quit their job cause food stamps pays more than a minimum wage job?

Did you know people on welfare don't have job?

Talk about killing jobs.

And in no way does my stealing anything put anyone else in jail.

I'll tell you what, you live and buy food in a community that is heavily dependent on food stamps and then cut them off.

You wouldn't survive one week before someone kicked your ass for your food.

I would love to see someone kick my ass for food. And if they did, I'd sneak around and steal it back before I fled. But yea, I think if I found myself in a community dependent on food stamps I would dip out well before the food ran out. But I'll tell you what, I'll do the experiment as long as you are in the community.

I've been on food stamps before and don't give a fuck how negatively others frown upon it. I needed it. Funnily enough, the EMPLOYED bureaucratic nitwits who would process my application were some of the most incompetent motherfuckers I've ever met. I never quite understood how I was the unemployed one, but I know many of them were employed by the state because they knew so and so. C'est la vie. It did encourage me to go to graduate school though.
