Count me as number three that feels bad for this woman and her children.
Daily I see people walking the highway infront of the business I work for. They carry bags of groceries (bright yellow_ from the Dollar General. Walking sometimes w/kids also carrying a bag or two. I figure they can’t put gas in a vehicle-and this is how they are making ends meet.
Yes, this woman and her idiotic, unfailing believe in ‘Hoax and Chains” is culpable...but it is scary to know how fast it all can unravel.
Err for the grace of G-d go I...
Ditto.
Times are frigging tough right now and the future doesn’t seem hopeless, IT IS HOPELESS.
I fear you are correct. I have long felt that the value of our money has been a group indulged fantasy, and if the spell should ever be broken, people would look upon what they have with despair, because the only reason we use that paper is because the government tells us it's worth something, and we believe them.
If you think things are bad now, I perceive they can become much worse. That Obama should end his Presidency with riots in the cities shall not surprise me at all.
somebody had to do it...
Irony, apparently they don’t get it. and never will.
Libs are fun to laugh at, until we are too busy living our own lives and not noticing them slithering in.
When that happens.....well, we now know what happens...
Any public Hospital is required not only to see her... but the fact that she cannot pay can in no way limit her medical treatment. It is posted in every room in both English and the new official language of conquistaville.. spanish.

“...and where we can vote for the same failed policies and people as where we left and turn where ever we go into the same sh!thole that we made of where we were... right???”
Yup
ain’t that the way.
Ask NH.

I fear the times is coming when the commodity which we will least be able to afford is sympathy. The great Depression occurred to a God-fearing and Industrious people, not to a generation of helpless and self serving spoiled brats. If and when an economic collapse occurs, the babies, rather than deal with their impoverishment, will throw their bottles and break things.
I fervently hope it is not too late, but I fear that economic collapse and social upheaval may be just around the corner. Many of us may well be walking in as bad or worse shoes soon.
I'm not sure ground beef would provide the absorbency you need. And without a string...
They also will answer, "Lord, when did we see you hungry or thirsty or a stranger or needing clothes or sick or in prison, and did not help you?"
He will reply, "Truly I tell you, whatever you did not do for one of the least of these, you did not do for me."
“We can always hope that they’l learn from experience. Trouble is, few of ‘em do.”
I’m not so sure about that. They used to say the definition of a conservative, was a liberal who got mugged. I must say, I was a dem until Carter mugged me and everyone around me as a young man. I had that epiphany, and it was Ronald Reagan. Carter created more conservatives than anyone on the planet I think. I think Obama will do the same. Folks are getting mugged, economically. They are getting mugged by affirmative action. They are getting mugged by taxes. They are getting mugged by having their religious beliefs attacked. They are getting mugged by having their children brainwashed in the schools.
It is no longer called a mugging, it is called a ‘flashmob’. This administration has ‘flashmobbed’ the country, and I think the result will be a whole bunch of people who awaken one day to find themselves as conservatives. Some are just too stupid of course, and others have selfish reasons to stay democrat (gub’mint workers, union workers, the lazy, the permanent victim types), but the rest, I think we will see a resurgence, and the media fears this much, which is why they will attack (and are attacking) anyone with values (Palin, Bachman, Cain, you take your pick).
Hopelessness
i’m feeling it big time and i did not ask for it.
I’ve done nothing wrong, i’m not a bad person and i do not screw others over.
I owe no one anything. (except BofA) :(
I live and let live YET these FREAKS are ruining my life!
Well, a strong man, no matter what, finds a way to survive.
so they say...
Believe me...I know. For our family, it was my husband’s heart attack last summer. Nine weeks of disability pay; $300 plus a month in medicine co-pays; plus hospital copays; plus...its bad for everyone I know and work with. I know fellow FReepers will flame moi for being ‘squishy’ but I feel this woman’s hurt. Been there...done that.
You make a very scary point.
I spoke today to a woman on the phone who has no car to go pick up medication she needs to save her sight. Several weeks ago I brought her some KFC, she nearly cried, she was so happy. She never gets a special treat. A friend went and got her, but I know many in her situation.
I know many freepers are cold hearted towards this. But I live in an area where I know people come into work hungry. It’s not as easy as get a job, pay your way.
Interesting change of metaphor - from the mugger to the flash mob as the agent of awakening. There’s a certain amouint of truth to that.
On the other hand, almost half of the voting public are composed of Those Who Are No Longer Our Countrymen. IOW, the Free Shit Army. They all want their Free Shit - that’d be your and my stuff - and God help anyone who gets in their way when the goodies aren’t forthcoming. Just like lab rats in a behavioral conditioning experment, they’ve been trained to pull the ‘D’ voting lever to get their little food pellet. Imagine the rage and the frustration when it finally dawns on them that there will be no more pellets forthcoming. They’ll go lab rat crazy. Not all, but most. Because they’ll be totally unwilling to give their picture of how the world works - the Free Shit world - in favor of reality.
The greatest guilt today is that of people who accept collectivism by moral default; the people who seek protection from the necessity of taking a stand, by refusing to admit to themselves the nature of that which they are accepting; the people who support plans specifically designed to achieve serfdom, but hide behind the empty assertion that they are lovers of freedom, with no concrete meaning attached to the word; the people who believe that the content of ideas need not be examined, that principles need not be defined, and that facts can be eliminated by keeping one's eyes shut. They expect, when they find themselves in a world of bloody ruins and concentration camps, to escape moral responsibility by wailing: "But I didn't mean this!"Those who want slavery should have the grace to name it by its proper name. They must face the full meaning of that which they are advocating or condemning; the full, exact, specific meaning of collectivism, of its logical implications, of the principles upon which it is based, and of the ultimate consequences to which these principles will lead.
Well - here you are...
“they’ve been trained to pull the ‘D’ voting lever to get their little food pellet”
lol, that is a GREAT line, and with your permission, I’m going to steal that for my tagline!
With pleasure - have at it!
They want, and rage at others that have. No one ever supposes that they did not have, or train to acquire the skills that those that have, used to acquire what they have. It's always some rich guy's fault that they can't get a job, never their university major of Ethnic Studies African Basket-weaving.
But the kicker was a job suggestion reply that I will post for your consideration.
I was trying to garner a little sympathy for these people, but I lost it.
As follows:
