No... The idea that the state is responsible for the individual is insanity...

Nothing... I don't complain over here...

I work and pay taxes and contribute to charities worth my attention...

My point is that there are children in need and there are children who's families simply fail to care for them...

Encouraging those families is counterproductive...


How do you discern which child deserves your attention and which should perish?

Two stories.

1.
My father was injured and disabled after a work accident when I was in middle school. My mother sent lunch with me every day, so I did not have to bring lunch money for the cafeteria.

On Fridays, there was a regular Pep Rally and the cafeteria supplied juice and cookies. I would politely decline them as I knew I had not paid the cafeteria, I was prone to acne, tooth decay and weight gain from too much sugar and they put nasty raisins in the cookies, anyway. This bothered the Cafeteria Lady. She talked to the principal and my teacher and it was decided that if I wanted cookies and juice, I could "pay" for them by washing the cafeteria tables with a wet sponge that day.

I thanked them. Cleaned the tables for them the rest of the year. Somehow, the other kids were ENVIOUS of my "JOB."

Never did take the snack though....

Bigotry against raisin?

2. Decided not to tell this one after all.

Good for you... Sorry you hear about your father...

I have worked since I was twelve...

Never had a credit card or a loan from the bank...

Spend what I earn or go without...

I get the sugar thing... I was "diagnosed" ADD as a child... but my mother refused to put me on medication... Intensive sports and no sugar... Plus encouraging my love of puzzles and books... Got it under control... But I still dislike sugar...

Except for fun raisin ice cream... I don't like rum... Or raisins... Or ice cream... But I love rum raisin ice cream.... Odd that

I'm not responsible for the individuals... It's a general charity that I contribute to... Although I get cards from some of the kids... Those are hard...

Used to volunteer at an "orphanage"... Taught some classes and worked with a few of the kids with learning disabilities.. That was hard... Would have happily adopted the lot of them if I had the money...

Would execute the parents who abandoned them as well... Just saying...

What is sad is that people actually believe there are starving children in the US....

My friends from Somalia and Yemen and Afghanistan could do a better job of explaining what the term "starving" truly rdfers to...



I h**e to hear people over here say I'm starving and I've heard my own sister say it over and over .
She's far from starving .
I'm the only one from my family that eats once a day.
I'm not starving.

We can always count on you to totally misconceive the concept of a topic of importance.

From now on, check with me before you post a comment and I'll correct your failures in comprehension.

Perhaps the children are natural born Americans. Like you.

How about those children? I love children but sometimes, they don't have the right parents to care for them.

I was not even born here. My father and uncles were born here. Father married somewhere a good woman but he died when I was 3 years old. I came here 15 years old, adopted by my uncle who had no children of their own. My DNA is Catholic Irish, Italian, and 40% Asian. I am a Catholic that you dislike. Before,you suspected me as a Russian bot or i*****l a***n. That did not diminish me. Ye, I am 60% white, but I like the blending of my color, and my brain. I grew up a Catholic Christian. I am loyal and patriotic to this country. My uncles fought in WW2, and my husband served the war, now gone. Now you know me.

Not all people born here came out the best. There are problems not of their making but environment contributed to that. Like the drug dealers that poison them. See those drug addicts in San Francisco? That is why we need to seal the walls.


Have a good day, and Happy New Year!

I am pretty regular with my meals... But I fast once a week... Gives the stomach, liver, and kidneys a rest... Also increases my appreciation for food...

I am currently around 270 pounds...

My friend once told me a story that involved his father choosing who was given food and who went without... His two youngest brothers starved to death...

He was the third youngest...

Few of us from the west have ever experienced true hunger

Since I'm on a fixed and barely adequate disability income, and fear rough times ahead in this country for invalids and the invalidated, I do not have the luxury of consolidating my charity via currency. Rather, I must do with my hands and feet what my own and the other body requires or accept death as a consequence.

Uncharacteristically, I sent Bennie's Mom $25 off my old Discover Card for formula last week. (SNAP and WIC cut off after she started working.)

Didn't know that thing would still work!

Bet they still expect repayment in a somewhat timely manner. I might be too busy to smoke this next month, myself, worrying about how to manage that.

Many Happy Returns.

I thought of this hymn you might appreciate. While you are aware I don't share the god delusion, the principle of generativity v. stagnation remains.



1 There is a sea which day by day
Receives the rippling rills;
And streams that spring from wells of God,
Or fall from cedared hills.
But what it thus receives, it gives
With glad, unsparing hand;
A stream more wide, with deeper tide,
Flows on to lower land.

2 There is a sea which day by day
Receives a fuller tide;
But all its store it keeps, nor gives
To shore nor sea beside.
It’s Jordan’s stream, now turned to brine,
Like heavy, molten lead;
Its dreadful name doth e’er proclaim,
That sea is waste and dead.

3 Which shall it be for you and me
Who God’s good gifts obtain?
Shall we accept for self alone,
Or take, to give again?
For He who once was rich indeed
Laid all His glory down;
That by His grace our ransomed race
Should share His wealth and crown.
