In reply to the discussion: The idiocy of people arguing over food stamps in a country that wastes 31% of available food [View all]Proud Liberal Dem
(24,406 posts)31. IKR?
Must be such a miserable existence going through life hating people for some reason or another. I don't honestly know how those people live with themselves. What really upsets me is when you have politicians and activists seeming fighting for the "right" to hate/discriminate against people. It's one thing to sort of "passively hate" some people (which I don't get either) but it's another to literally go out of your way to publicly advocate discrimination and whipping up fear and hatred of other people, whether it be introducing "Religious freedom" bills or anti-Transgender (women mostly) "Bathroom Bills", or pushing humiliating procedures for assistance programs like drug testing.

I'm sorry but bullshit. No one gets thousands of dollars in food stamps. It just doesn't happen.

So why are you saying that people get thousands in food stamps, when that happens nowhere?
