Pope: Catholics should ask gay people for forgiveness

[rah]

1. Doubled down I see.

Waiting for step two.

You are truly pathetic.

Wait, we have a step 2 sighting.

I know they did because that is what they bought with the cash.
Cash is neutral. They could use the cash for just about anything. Buying them alcohol is one thing, but giving them cash is not in itself making a moral decision for them, they are still choosing to use the money in such a fashion.

So using your logic, you would have no problem with setting up a play date between a Pedophile priest and a child... because they were the ones making the moral decision, not you. Oh, that's right, that's exactly what the Catholic Church was doing with their pedophile priests... moving them around so they could continue to have access to children.

Meant for kids? Not in the US, no. These are folks who are scamming the system, applying for benefits that they do not need.



I actually stopped doing it when I realized that the true reason for food stamps was to raise the price of groceries for everybody, and that rather than decreasing food stamp use, I was increasing it by sending a signal to the system that there was greater demand for them.

I take the law very, very seriously. You have not the slightest shred of evidence to suggest widespread abuse of food stamps. Food stamps, for the majority of times, does go where it needs to go. That being needy families and hungry kids.

Your second paragraph is absolutely bogus. There is such a surplus in the US food supply that in no way would actually happen. Food stamps have a two to one benefit over costs and for the most part actually do work.

You admitted to violating US federal law and you keep admitting to it.

[Giancarlo]

They are widely abused as a second currency. Food stamp abuse would be solved by cutting anyone who sells their card off, and having them with identifiers, like picture ID.

They are not widely abused. Please idiot, stop posting that republican crap. Food stamps, in most cases, do work and do go where they they need to go. By the way, many cards do have pictures on them. You are just downright stupid.

[Giancarlo]

If you got caught doing this and were convicted, the School you work at would fire you in a second. Even they would see what a bad influence you are on children.
You constantly defend people who act illegally and now you are promoting your illegal acts as a good thing. You should never be allowed to be in a position to teach children.

I think if they even saw his admission on here, they would reconsider his employment.

He is a very stupid man.

If I were on food stamps, I'd be a good influence?

How is trading with someone the same as paying for their booze? It's not. They still have to take moral responsibility for their own choices, in using the money to buy booze.

DING DING DING DING... a two for.
He asked a stupid question, and tried to change the subject.

You couldn't make this stuff up.
HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHHAHAHAAHAHAHAHA

[Giancarlo]

You. Committed. A. Federal. Crime.

That is the bad influence. You also stole from a federally funded program(s) that generally are effective and do work.

You broke the law.

[rah]

Even when called out, he continues to spout stupidity. Pathetic.

In Texas they are, and the solution is very simple, to cut anyone off who sells their card. And yes, making them photo ID would be a drastic step to reduce fraud.

This has nothing to do with reality. It is your stupid personal anecdote.

It also has nothing to do with the fact you admitted to violating federal law.

How did I steal from the program, when I used the cards to buy food? If I were to resell them to someone else, for more than I paid for them, absolutely. But I used them to buy food for myself.

The person selling his card is the one stealing from the program to finance his habits.

Has *everything* to do with reality. They are widely, widely abused. I'd call you a polyanna, but you're a liberal so that's a given. I've pointed out *how* they can be abuse and I'm amused at how quickly everyone is jumping in with "that's wrong", and then blasting me when I point out simple solutions to fix the problem.

But let's drill down to the reality. If I were on food stamps, I'd be a good example, right Giancarlo?

You committed a federal crime and you stole from the program for your own personal gain. You have no sense.
