#460I don't think you're that much more liberal. This is actually one of the few topics I lean way conservative on. I'm usually floating around the middle.Comment -

#461Sorry to be a thread hog here, but I'll make this post and finish my work.
Before I moved out of the State of Michigan, I worked in Welfare Reform in an inner city. Sadly, this turned me into a pretty jaded person. Now this doesn't count for everyone I had to deal with on a daily basis, but definitely the larger majority.
As we all know, our economy is shit right now.
Just picture living in Michigan, where the unemployment is astronomical. I thankfully moved before it started getting really bad...back when jobs were still available.
Even though jobs were available, most found it much easier to "pretend" to look for a job and collect money from the State. I saw people with children coming to work with they hair and nails did...but they couldn't afford diapers. WHAT THE EFF??
It is called priorities. If you enable people to use government funding as means to remain lazy, people aren't going to utilize the funding to further educate themselves. It is much easier to sit around watching Judge Joe Brown instead of learning a trade.
As for "food stamps"...Michigan utilizes something called the Bridge Card which resembles a debit card. There are many reasons this was switched, but one of the main reasons is to prevent fraud and inappropriate purchases (cigarattes, alcohol, etc).Comment -

I like drinking games.
Can we also play one where every time we see a commercial with a Manning offspring, we have to slam a beer and a shot of vinegar or something else really disgusting?
I so dread the next year of television commercials.Comment -

#482I'll tell you what...I'd be ticked if I were Eli. His fat headed brother is going to try stealing his thunder by appearing in every single one of his commercials.
I demand a recount of the super bowl votes!!!Comment -

#483Of course a hetro-perv like myself loves all the women. Before this place was like a hardcore just put up your pick and state your case thing. Now we still have that in a different place, but I loves the fluff and B.S.Comment -
