A Marines Perspective

That wasn't the title I had for it. The one I had was the one I used so it wouldn't have worked..

"Marine" would have worked just as well, though. I'm serious: I go to great lengths to make sure something hasn't been posted. I even restrict myself to just one newspaper source, so that I can quickly check to see that it hasn't been posted.

It's really far more important than people here understand. (Just ask anyone who was around about a year ago, when they were forced to changeover the server, and FR was down for several days!)

I saw Illbay recently on an innocently happy-about-Marines thread. He was endlessly disparaging, saying that all of us were dangers to the Republic, eager to shoot civilians, etc. On this thread I think he has just found a way to push his weight around.

I am much obliged. Thank you.

If they cut deeper into Food Stamps those poor women will have to move down to Size 18/20 dresses!

LOL, I always found something counterintuitive in that.

Not that I don't get the joke... but seriously, haven't you ever noticed that eating "healthy" is also eating expensively? Compare how much pasta or rice you can buy with the same amount of money you spend on fresh fruits and veggies.

Another irony here is that many of the "poor women" on food stamps are the wives of service men, or they are active duty military themselves. (Ever seen a Navy paycheck?)

I don't think the problem or solution of unsupportive citizens lies in the size of women on food stamps.
