While it's not the healthiest food on the planet, if I don't have time to be preparing foods daily (and I don't have kids), I have no idea how a poor working person could find the time, and can easily see how it would be easier to opt for the fast food restaurant.
And the lazy welfare person could take time out of their tv watching hours to prepare dinner, imagine that.

I'm curious. I was going to ask you questions about them. What's your perspective on these friends from jr high and high school?

Really? You know how everyone lives then, eh? So if you're so psychic that you know how everyone else lives without even knowing them, why don't you tell me what my schedule is? Seriously. Give it a shot. I'm expecting you to know, since you seem so convinced you know how others lead their lives.

How often did the buses run a full route, and how many routes were there, and in which directions did they go?

This guy WORKS and he is forced to live in a van because he can't afford rent. But some woman who can't keep her legs closed gets a huge house on section 8 for little to nothing.

It isn't the adult that doesn't work who is justified in receiving the support, it's the child.

We're kind of trapped. We give the money for the sake of the child, who is innocent. We can't force women to not have kids, because that would violate their rights. So we're locked into paying for any woman who has a child and doesn't work. Regardless of why she isn't working.

They are no longer friends because they are trashy and I don't associate with losers like them. I did years ago because I had been friends before they became scuzz.

Now you are just being goofy. I lived right in an inner ring suburb of Chicago and the CTA, Pace and Metra trains ran right through it so no excuse for them not to take the transportation.
