    I got an $8000 handout last year from the government, and I have all those things. Should I not be able to vote?

    There's a return on the $8000 you received for an education. There's no return on the investment when we simply pay people to sit at home and have 5 kids.....

    well... i take that back.... that's 5 new voters for the big D.

    Yeah and you're because who said so ? How do you know I don't ? Maybe I choose not to post about this kind of stuff because I could care less. Posting about politics will never Chang anything. It's a waste of time to babble about shit you or I can't change. I posted a picture that I thought people on here may get a laugh out of. Why so serious ?

    it's not an argument of whether you think weed is good or bad, it's the fact that weed is illegal and the law states it. these welfare recipients know the legality of the drug before they do it.

    This is a section where vteck posts regularly and generally has a highly valued opinion. Something that will never be said about you.

    And? Every where I post he goes out of his way to make some kind of smart ass remark. I don't care if y'all ever value my opinion. I don't know any of you personally so that doesn't mean anything to me.

    What's your point? If its because its illegal, should I be kicked off welfare for getting a speeding ticket? Or jaywalking? Both of those are illegal.

    two weeks from now you will find out why the cheap fiberglass shit you're buying is cheap. Best thing you can do is invest in a camera that will hide your shitty rattlecan paint job.

    There's levels of crime. Obviously there's a gap between jay walking and burglary or murder. One characteristic that separates weed from speeding or jay walking is that weed is a luxury that you are consuming while at the same time you're saying that you need government help because you cant afford to take care of yourself.

    If i make $250k a year but cant afford to buy food because i have 9 car payments and own 3 boats.... that doesnt mean the government should feed me. That's the point of everyone mentioning smart phones and rims..... if you went door to door in the housing projects..... you'd find that almost every person there owns a smart phone and half of them will have a tahoe on 22s parked outside. A lot of these people are in the situation theyre in because of the way they prioritize. Food>smart phone.... food>rims.... food>cable.... food>big screen tv..... you cant spend your money on everything you want and then expect tax payers to provide you with everything you need.

    All jokes aside.... someone with 15 kids would probably receive well over 100k/year in government assistance.

    It's these sort of statements that make it hard to have a reasonable discussion about welfare issues. I've never seen a housing project that was surrounded by a lot of nice late model cars. Is there abuse in the system? Yes, but the characterization that everyone or even the large majority of people recieving welfare are somehow living opulent lifestyles is a gross overstatement.

    I would rather pay more to have them all drug tested than have any drug users on welfare.

    You make no argument for drug testing welfare recipients, then call me stupid when I tell you why its stupid and that theres zero logic behind it? Good job bro. You do well in this section for not knowing anything.

    Except a drug test doesn't tell you if someone spent their money money on a luxury. Drugs are often shared.

    Out of curiosity, are there any other hoops you would like welfare recipients to jump through or is drug testing the only one you feel is currently missing?
