Yep, when you can't make a good argument then resume to attacking. So again, as much as you post, your boss should fire you. So is your job to convince people why getting a welfare check is moral.

I've thought about it - I took that breathe - still feel the same.
"abuse has become worse"........how about some proof for that statement? Also, are you saying no one ever gets off public assistance programs? If so, where is your proof for that belief?

When you have some proof for your claims, I'll pay attention to what you have to say.

Don't have a boss. As far as attacking, you should know all about that.

Are you proud that your taxes go to welfare cheats and leeches? And to rich people like Obama's buddies at Solyndra? Does that make you feel good?

And if you Democrats believe it's OK to kill somebody before they are born, why not let them die after they are born?

Seems you only want to let babies die but not leeches. Maybe it's because Democrats are racists who are trying to prevent black babies from being born.

I like that one too, so I'll use it. I'm sure she was talking about Democrats.

Gandhi was a man, FYI.

From the quote link:

Quote:
Mohandas Karamchand Gandhi, commonly known as Mahatma Gandhi, was the preeminent leader of Indian nationalism in British-ruled India. Employing non-violent civil disobedience, Gandhi led India to independence and inspired movements for non-violence, civil rights and freedom across the world.
You may want to rethink your off the cuff assessment.

Again, you're completely wrong. Archaeological evidence shows that when people made the transition from hunter-gatherers and began living in permanent settlements, there were large granaries instead of every family or clan having their own. Mesa Verde, Chaco Canyon and Canyon de Chelly are Puebloan sites here in the U.S. that illustrate that fact. The Essenes, from whom we inherited the Dead Sea Scrolls and who are closely associated with Jesus, lived communally. Neanderthal burials have been excavated showing people who would not have been able to care for themselves yet lived into adulthood, showing a social consciousness. Money is highly overrated, as it truly cannot buy one happiness, love, wisdom or spiritual growth...some people did and do take vows of poverty so that money will not divert them from their studies and practices meant to nourish their spirits. I repeat my statement: I pay my taxes knowing that some will be spent in ways of which I approve, and that some will be spent in ways that I find objectionable. I don't consider it a gun to my head because I will benefit by living in this country until I draw my last breath, happy to live in a country where I have freedom of expression, of movement, of thought and of many choices in how I live my life. For thousands of years people have understood that the best way to live is to treat people as you would like for them to treat you; I try to live by that ancient sentiment. There is no need to roll your eyes; there are millions of people who see life the same way that I do, scattered all over the globe.
