I do. Again, it is just the manner in which they're helped. I think some are missing the main topic, and that is whether government should be involved in the task of feeding. Our founding fathers were wise enough to think not. If the government should have been, an amendment would have been written proclaiming this new mission.
The US was an agrarian society up until ????. My grandparents lived on farms during the depression and they all had food. I'm not saying the government should feed everybody.
I'll tell you what....if my neighbors were hungry, I would feed them!
My thumbs up was for the overall thesis of the argument, not the particular words. It seems all of the insults were directed one-way towards myself (obtuse, greedy, etc). I'm a charitable and well educated graduate student, and I don't think either applies towards me
Yes, and right after my solo landing on the moon I recieved a Nobel Prize and brown cows give chocolate milk

Excellent, and good for you. I like to think that most of us have the same basic decency.
Now, if your neighbors are just scratching out their living, and don't have enough money to buy him desert, and he occassionally doesn't have as big a meal as he would like to have, being a growing boy and all, who has the right to tell you you MUST pay a few dollars a month so he can get a full & balanced meal?
Using hunger as a tool won't solve anything, except lowering our standards to an opressive authoritarian regime. This is assailable, but I suppose it doesn't matter considering she has lost all credibilty and probably her position in politics. Remember, if you have an extremist authoritarian view in politics, keep it to yourself.
How is it "oppressive" if you refuse to do all the things necessary to keep yourself and your children fed? Your really just oppressing yourself.

It's common decency, it's humane, and we live in a society where hunger is not acceptable.
When I say hunger, I don't mean like being hungry an hour after eating Chinese food. I'm talking about the possibility of malnourishment. Hunger so bad it hurts.

It is common decency. It is humane.
Do we have to right to force you to buy him a meal?

Force? If they go through the right channels and qualify for assistance, my taxes will help to provide them food. If that's what you mean by "force". It's my duty as a taxpayer and a member of society.
