whywiki I work in customer service too. For years I hated what we refer to as Welfare Wednesdays, it brought out all the three day millionaires as we referred to them. I would see them take taxis, buy booze, drugs, cigarettes and it would make me fume. I was working...

keithandlisa Very well said soulsetfire! You have pointed out one of the biggest abuses of the food stamp program. I too am discouraged when I see this happen and I am standing behind them with just a few things in my cart because it is all I can afford. I am working hard...

I've noticed in my time here at mylot, that a lot of posters ignore basic grammar and punctuation. I realize that there are many posters that do not speak English, or speak very limited English, so their posts will obviously be a...

noyida I realized that too. The usage of English here is not perfect. We have to understand that not everyone have a good command of English. Further, sometimes, due to the excitedness in responding to the topics, one can just speak and type as his/her brain relay...

danishcanadian I've wondered the same thing about the Americans and Canadians among us, who just don't care. Then I thought of it again. Perhaps these people are just ignorant and uneducated. I can see that you were taught well, as was I. Grammar has become second nature to...

xkaraix I think people are rushing with their replies and not really taking any interest in the discussion they are replying too. To me it makes these people look like spammers, only here to make some money.

texasclassygal It really bothers me, I have never understand how someone with children could put nasty habits like smoking and drinking ahead of feeding the family, I mean what cigarettes alone cost could feed a family for one or possibly two meals not to mention the cost of...

desertdarlene Yes, it bothers me some. It's just like someone begging me for money on the street to buy coffee and cigarettes, both of which they don't need and I don't want to spend my money on. But, if I think about it, I don't know the circumstance of why they are...

eventualist What gets me is how people that don't try to do anything seem to get everything they want (way more than they need too). Like when I was growing up, my mother worked full time and had to support herself and her two children. But she made hardly any money, so...

bad1981 Yes this really does bother me because if they were that needy to be getting the food stamps then every other money that they have saved they should also put back into the home in some positive way. People do this all the time and get around the system and...

spiderman05 People who are on welfare generally have a void in their lives that they try to fill with some artificial pleasures like alcohol, tobacco and the hope of becoming one day rich. It is an abuse of the welfare system, but there is much much worse.

rabi9634 It bothers me, that's for sure. For the amount of work a lot of cities and states need done, it will never cease to amaze me that welfare is simply given out without requiring any work. In my opinion, if you want welfare, you should have to pitch in for it....

TerryZ Well first of all the food stamps you can buy cigerattes or alchol or even paper products such as toliet paper to must pay cash for that. You can only use the food stamps for food. So you shouldnt be so hard on these people.

Tripod I've never been a witness to this myself but come to think of it, it would bother me alot. The hard work people put into their jobs just so that others can get a free buzz and an early death. Disturbing.
