No, not gift cards; but I would send you food if you needed it. As well as seeds to grow your OWN food!

Why should I tax my OWN monetary budget by giving you a gift card; when I can give you used clothes that are perfectly fine, homegrown veggies that are heirloom AND organically grown, and seeds and a way to start to take care of yourself. That's the kind of help I give.

It has been proven TIME and TIME again that a happy, HEALTHY society runs better and is overall in better shape than our gov is currently running.

More charity, once again, out of the kindness of the taxpayers heart

If they volunteer to do so, absolutely.
No, actually, I didn't. Try reading again.

I dont have time to research that phone thingy but in glancing at it, it appears to only work if ots connected to your internet or home extension...does this mean that it is not really like a cellphone that you can use when your in the car or outside your home? Either way, what is your point in this tale? That because you found some obscure service you demand everyone else do the same? If you take such pride in being as cheap as possible, why dont you just live off potatoes and powdered milk? You look wasteful if you dont, you are using too much of our food supply if you eat meat or cheese or ( hides eyes) ever have the nerve to eat chips.

Um, no, its not a cell phone, which is why I said HOME phone bill.

I havent demanded anyone use it, I simply said I use it to only pay $4 a month, rather than $200 for cell phone service..

If you dont have the money to pay for crap, YOU CUT BACK WHERE YOU CAN... rather than insisting the government is somehow obligated to provide it for you.

Which is curious, since the GOP received a 60+ year landslide turnover election in 2010, given control of the house, specifically to repeal 0bamaCare, and reverse the out of control federal deficit spending, and yet they have not controlled spending and not repealed 0bamacare. they have given 0bama 90% of everything he wants.

What an idiotic comparison, but typical of the left. So you somehow think that services I PAY FOR is the same thing as give aways that people on welfare and food stamps don't? Brilliant.

FYI (since you're clueless) the police DON'T protect anyones property or person, that isn't their job and they have no responsibility to do it.
