It’s hard to do, since the picture is on the card. I used to be a complete dirty slut and say “can I see your ID” if it was Deborah’s name on the card and it clearly wasn’t Deborah who was using it. ---

well i’m here in lovely flint where i saw a girl in a new impala SS, and flint has more than 80% of the cities popuation on welfare. Maybe shes part of the 20% but that doesnt explain the giant chrome rims found on every car here! ---

You should get a better, or second, job and work full time during school breaks. Also, not going on unemployment because of pride is dumb. If the system wants to help you, let it. Plus, while you are enrolled in school you are not required to have to report to the unemployment office and look for a job. ---

I dont hate any single group…just ignorant people that piss me off. I was using that as an example because there are all these things like the united Negro college found, special founding for blacks, Indians, Asians, Mexicans…basically everything, but whites, and if you try to start one for white people, you know for a fact it will be viewed as discrimination. And I never said anything about your sister so where that came from I dont know, I’m sure she workes her ass off, as do many single parents. Wic, foodstamps, welfare…all GREAT programs to help people, but the problem is obviously the abuse factor. When you have foodstamps to buy your children food, you dont need to buy beer, and all name brand shit with it. ---

i see nothing wrong with welfare, there are hard working honest people who are just going through a tough time and need some help, i have no problem with that at all. however, i have serious hatred towards welfare abuse ---

Plus, while you are enrolled in school you are not required to have to report to the unemployment office and look for a job. I couldnt work alot because of my shoulder, i tore a top of ligaments and tendons in it, the damn thing practicly hangs out of the socket. I think i made alittle more than that but not much. What im getting at is the people who say you can live fine on say 10k a year and then turn around and jack up minimum wage, thus increasing the costs of everything else. ---

What im getting at is the people who say you can live fine on say 10k a year and then turn around and jack up minimum wage, thus increasing the costs of everything else. So did you try for unemployment? Yeah, 10k a year isn’t a lot of money to live on by yourself. ---

> [@catalyst](#): > > :word: He didn’t specify if he meant Native American’s or people from India. ok sorry “native americans” and for good reason, i use to get beat up when i was a kid for no other reason than im white…thats it. Id be on the afterschool bus and the indians would whip my ass and throw all my shit out of the windows. i had to have my parents pick me up everyday. Not to mention when i was almost ran over then shot at by some kids from school…because i was white, never had any problems with them before hand…then one day bam they try to kill me for being a “stupid white boy” as they said. so to furthur explain…no i am not prejudice, i joke around alot, but thats differant, and i dont hate all indians, if i did i would not have indian friends. ---
