most people on food stamps do work, smarty.

show me how better things were for the hungry before social safety net programs. the stats should pan out, that seems to be what you're arguing.

When our forefathers came over, did they have welfare, food stamps, etc? No dude, they killed turkeys and farmed corn and potatoes... They worked for their living, which is the point I'm arguing. In my knowledge, there has never been a large point in time where people were starving on the streets due to government not helping them. Moreover, back on point, this country FLOURISHED when the age of men included working to put food on the table for you and your family. Pioneers, settlers, etc, they are did well for themselves without any handouts.

The only reason socialism or spreading of wealth is even remotely reasonable is because of the gargantuan population of our country, as well as the ratio of people to open and free land. If you haven't caught on, I'm conservative when it comes to making a life for yourself, and being able to look in the mirror and call yourself a man.

EDIT: (LOL had to)

In before Unclebuck considers trades between Native Americans and settlers as spreading of wealth and socialism!!

The average age was also 40...most people live in cities too, I know I said this before but you can't expect people to kill alley cats and pigeons. If it's not government helping it's the charities, that's why nobody needed the government to intervene in the US history, well modern history, sorry.

Starvation? That's nothing imo.
Have you ever seen or known a man who worked his entire life away from his family, to care for his family, and pay for everyone elses "starvation", and instead of being able to enjoy the prospers he slaved for, ended up dieing first?

Socialism is a society killer, but kindness is not. They are two completely separate entities and function as so. Take away welfare, food stamps, etc, there will still be charitable donations, and better yet, hungry men tend to want to work.

It's funny how simple it really is when everything frivolous is removed. Our government is too large, period.

I skim walls lol, sometimes I don't catch everything.

It's cool, I don't hate.

Rather, I was glad you pointed out exactly what I was attempting to express; worked wonders for my argument; not that it needed it

I have an idea. Lets serve really healthy food. Veggies, fruit, and tuna sandwich, maybe peanut butter. The hungry kid will eat whatever and the kid who doesn't need it won't eat it.

" We are the world, we are the children." lol

Most schools are doing that now actually.

Many people starved to death in the USA before safety net programs. YOu must not be as old as me. Becuase malnutrition was a huge problem when I was a kid

My parents were poor, and I got reduced or free lunch all thru school. By the time I was in high school I had to eat 2 lunches just to get half way full. Lol! Without free or reduced lunch there would be a numerous amount of kids without the means to eat. That just wouldn't be right in this country of ours.

The point is they are gifted free lunch because their money should be spent else where like rent or food for the house. If they are spending the money on other things they shouldn't get the break. Every citizen's school child should get a free lunch at this rate.

lol, bro. If a poor kid wants to buy a cookie. Let THEm? Because at the end of the month, I bet he's eating Top raman-If he's lucky to have that. And if there parents do hard drugs.Then the kids really have no food..I say this because I lived it!-no sham in my game. I know where I come from!

lol Native Americans, took petty on them, and got fucked in the end. They should of killed all the kids and adults, but they didn't

Big difference in starving and going hungry!

Feed The Kids!................
Who could serously have a problem with this?..........really?

no such thing as a free lunch

why not just make lunch as part of the operating cost for ALL kids?

NO NO NO!

It simple charge the rich kids 30dollars a plate
subsidize the middle class kids 5 dollars a plate
give the poor kids 10 dollars with their lunch

This should work in theory.

personally-

i didnt read the thread.

twice. these same families are also receiving bridge benefits. there is food at home, or should be, crackheads.

they shoudl be packing a lunch from home. really getting food is so easy, whoo would even buy the majority of it?

You have no real clue do you?

You could almost guarantee these schools are forced to throw away enough school to feed all of the hungry kids. I know our hospital throws away thousands of pounds because it's illegal to give this food away.

I know some people who could afford to buy food would simply wait until the free food was being doled out but still....

how was your hooverville

and you know who fed them. Charity soup kitchens. My grand father was a postman during the depression. He spent all his money on potatoes, cabbage, & meat when it was available to feed his entire block.

Feed the kids!..................Rich kids, poor kids, one eyed kids, illegal kids, left handed kids............all kids.......They're kids!....Feed them!...............................To even have a discussion about this is shamefull...........feed the kids in America!......How can this be a question?
