Lol...what planet are you from. That's not how it works.


They can call police anytime they want to take us to mental institution
because we are a danger to society, so parents can tell their children
have incurable disease and need medication for a life time.


Are you sure they gave you the right meds ?

Children are the responsibility of their parents, not of the companies

should not have them.


But once they do, they should be left to starve to death if their
parents cannot afford to feed them. Right?

There are plenty of charities that do it. Besides, what parents can't
afford is relative. The so called poor Americans all seem to have smart
phones, TVs, microwave and other conveniences, yet they can't afford to
feed their own kids? Just look at the urban schools in the US. At one
time even poor kids brought their own lunch bags with them, but now
nobody needs to because schools became big cafeterias where even some
learning might take place on the side. So now not just most of adults
are obese here, but ever more kids, too. The so called hungry Americans
are a myth, they are more obese than the rest.

You live in a dream world. Visit a soup kitchen. Volunteer at a
homeless center. Talk to people with minimum wage jobs.

Obesity occurs in many poor kids because they don't get the right food
to eat!

And why don't they get the right food to eat? Because their lazy welfare

in a few years, but American borns cannot? It's because libs like you

Because the "right food" costs more than the wrong food. Yeah, it's messed
up, but that's the way it is.

That's so wrong that it could only have come from Fox News.

Not really, because most poor people can and do get food stamps that
they can use to get the ingreadients of healthy meals in a supermarket.
Then all they need is to cook it. But hey, that's too much work, right?
It's just so much easier to trot down to the nearest pizza or burger joint.

You should probably do some research and investigation about the
problem. That means more than just a few hours searching the web.
Actual visits to areas where the financially poor live to see first hand
what it's like.

For one thing, if you are going to take the road of the "right" food,
then there is no option but to include natural and organic foods. They
are definitely more expensive than your chain grocery stores. *I* can't
afford those places, not to mention the nearest one is 40 miles away.

Then, if you are in larger cities, in many places where you find
financially poor people, there are no grocery stores. Until it was
documented by the news media, I was unaware of that. So you have to
travel to get to the store. But in many places, dare I say most places,
public transportation is not available. (Cabs, if they exist, are
private and expensive.) Often the only places to buy food locally will
be a conveniences store, if it exists. Ever see one with fresh fruits
and vegetables?

But you are lucky enough to have bus service where you live. You're
also a single parent with a couple of kids. (There's many reasons for
being a single parent, so don't even start down that road.) If you take
your kids with you, more money spent on transportation. If you leave
them alone, and get reported for whatever reason, you could end up with
the local version of Child Protective Services taking your children away
from.

All because you were trying to provide nourishing (a.k.a. the "right"
food) for your children.

This is not a conservative or liberal problem, it's a societal problem.
And everyone who bitches about the situation should hang their heads
in shame for letting this type of condition exist in what is arguably
the richest nation on the planet, and where it was just reported that
40% of the food grown in the United States goes to waste.

Because their lazy welfare
mama would rather buy fastfood burgers than cook something healthy at
home? Why is it that immigrants who come here with only a shirt on their
back and no English language skills can work themselves out of poverty
in a few years, but American borns cannot? It's because libs like you

Maybe you should also observe a supermarket chekout line and see what
people buy with their food stamps. One can't help people who misuse the
help they get from the taxpayers.

What they buy is a separate question from the opportunity to buy.

Don't have to watch the checkout lines... I work at Walmart, stocking
grocery shelves. And there are other programs that are not food stamps,
that have a list of permissible foods to buy. Here, it's
http://www.co.teller.co.us/PublicHealth/WIC.aspx Many items are labeled
on the shelves as WIC approved. If the item is not on the list, you
cannot use the WIC money to buy the item.

No so in my state, or the cashiers just don't bother with verification.

Most stores have electronic registers these days. Verification isn't in the
hands of the cashiers.

Who does your shopping for you? Ask them how it works.

When you reach retirement age, many things are possible.
How this works is, as you get older, you get richer.
Until you get stupid and lose it (somehow).
Then you get older and wiser.

For some people who run into age discrimination,
they don't have quite as many opportunities as they
did when they were younger. It's no longer a matter
of being a high achiever. The HR departments of the
world see to it, that you never work again.

I've had a few people at work, who had pretty severe
financial reversals. One guy, was pretty well set,
made a big mistake, and all he would say about it
was he was glad to have a job, a job he would be
working forever.

One guy at work (in my department), invested in Bre-X.
He wasn't totally wiped out, but pretty near.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bre-X

One of the people at my bank (adviser) was telling
me a story about someone at my very branch. Invested
in Bre-X. Was worth $30 million at one point. Adviser
told him to sell immediately and get out. The individual
(unnamed) ignored the advice, and lost it all. These
are examples of stupid, risky investments, with
big potential payoffs, that cause otherwise responsible
people to end up broke. You would think someone having
made $30 million of some stinking mining stock, would
be clever enough to sell half, and "ride the rest to the
top". But like the movie "Sierra Madre", once you
get gold fever, all common sense leaves the room.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Tre...ra_Madre_(film)

So whether it's some bad investment advice that
drives you back to work, or a need to get out
of the house and interact with people and get
some level of self esteem back, there are lots
of reasons for a part time job when you
reach retirement age.

Many HR organizations, will not allow you to
work in your previously chosen profession. It
doesn't matter what is on your resume - you
may be impressed with your resume, but the HR
person has a checklist, one of which will be age,
one of which will be the period of time you've
been out of work. For example, one HR person I
had a beer with, told me she didn't take people
after they'd been out of work for more than one year.
So you have 364 days to find that job... then you turn
into a spoiled tomato.

The groups have all manner of life experiences.

For example, someone I will call the "RAMBUS guy",
committed suicide. He dealt in short stock, the
stock went in the wrong direction, he was ruined.
Before he could bear to tell his wife what
he'd dune, he committed suicide.

Never try to guess at another posters situation...
You don't wanna know.
