    By all the gods. I truly hate racists. I'm a horrible Buddhist, but I refuse to be compassionate about stupidity.
    Excellence is an art won by training and habituation. We do not act rightly because we have virtue or excellence, but rather we have those because we have acted rightly. We are what we repeatedly do. Excellence, then, is not an act but a habit.
    - -- Aristotle

    Believe nothing on the faith of traditions, even though they have been held in honor for many generations and in diverse places. Do not believe a thing because many people speak of it. Do not believe on the faith of the sages of the past. Do not believe what you yourself have imagined, persuading yourself that a God inspires you. Believe nothing on the sole authority of your masters and priests. After examination, believe what you yourself have tested and found to be reasonable, and conform your conduct thereto.
    - -- The Buddha

    It is the mark of an educated mind to be able to entertain a thought without accepting it.
    - -- Aristotle

    ok lets make something clear, being paid something for DOING something, is not slavery.

    If they don't like our (the taxpayers) demands to work for OUR money, then they can fuck right off and figure somehow else to survive.

    If it's My money, it's my say on what you have to do to get it.

    White, black, Asian, Latin..........they're not stupid. They know what they're doing. They figured out how to work the system and con decent working people out of their earned income.
    Abortion rights dogma can obscure human reason & harden the human heart so much that the same person who feels
    empathy for animal suffering can lack compassion for unborn children who experience lethal violence and excruciating
    pain in abortion.

    Unborn animals are protected in their nesting places, humans are not. To abort something is to end something
    which has begun. To abort life is to end it.

    Why?

    Aren't they getting other people's money? Why should they do nothing for it if they are able bodied?

    I love this policy


    Now this is where you say "you are greedy and heartless and want tax cuts for the rich"

    Ready. Go!

    "There is no question former President Trump bears moral responsibility. His supporters stormed the Capitol because of the unhinged falsehoods he shouted into the world’s largest megaphone," McConnell wrote. "His behavior during and after the chaos was also unconscionable, from attacking Vice President Mike Pence during the riot to praising the criminals after it ended."

    No, the 1% has figured it out as well, but the stupid ones support that. The poor take $200 in food stamps, the rich take millions.

    Even if I didn't know that you live in a shitty southern state like Geoalissippi, it would be easy enough to work out. The Old Testament is like a self help manual for you lot.

    So what would you do then? If in an area of high unemployment someone is on food stamps would you have them work for nothing and pay their own travel and other expenses to clean out the sewers to make you feel better?

    Well I don't believe in handouts at all. But if we were to have them, they should do whatever taxpayers demand. If I want them to do jumping jacks before getting my money they will do just that. If they don't comply then they can simply die. Their choice.

    In the old days the weak and the takers were naturally selected out. We have no universal moral imperative to save these wretches. Modern society has made us forget that some people are just born losers. Not all human beings are cut out for life. If it weren't for handouts they would literally just die in their own shit without lifting a finger. Automatons. Animals. Takers. This idea that most people yearn to breathe free is a joke. For most, serfdom is in their blood, their destiny and their calling. It's the natural order.

    I think it'd be cool that if one were on welfare for more than say a year or two, in order to stay on it they would have to give up citizenship or voting rights.

    At some point, an adult human needs to decide.. are they going to be a maker? Are they going to be proactive and help shape their countries path as it forges forward? Or are they going to sit on the sidelines mouth agape, like a loser louse. If they want to be a prole, an animal, someone that gets nursed out of a bottle, we perhaps should let them, but they must condemn themselves to the obscurity they deserve. Losers should not get to control the direction of this nation. Loser takers shouldn't be able to vote or have any say on anything. They are essentially children, incapable of being a self sufficient individual. I think they would be a fair compromise. They admit to their loser status, their status of someone to be stepped over. If they do that, they can have some of my money.

    I think the word you're looking for is purpose. Work gives you a sense of purpose. If your work is what gives you your sense of worth, you need to seek help. It's the money that gives the feeling of self worth.

    LOL
