Give a man a fish, he eats for one day. Teach a man to fish, he can eat for a lifetime.

Do ye not know that the saints shall judge the world? and if the world shall be judged by you, are ye unworthy to judge the smallest matters?
It isn't up to me to decide who is lazy. Maybe you got different instructions.

I couldn't agree more. Too many people are quick to judge another without walking in their shoes. So many on this forum like to think of themselves as being above someone who is down and out in life. I grow tired of the same stories. I worked 4 jobs , raised 4 children, while going to school fulltime. People who constantly talk about themselves are usually just full of bs. Instead of talking about yourself, why not lend your time to help these communities help themselves. Nobody, and I mean nobody makes it in life without some kind of help along the way. So do yourselves a favor, get off the high horse, show some compassion and empathy, lend a helping hand to someone in need. You will get far more satisfaction in life than looking at the numbers on your paycheck.

When someone asks for some of MY money, I reserve the right to decide who I deem is worthy! You spend yours how you want.
If your on welfare, your whole entire life......your pretty much a lazy pos? or do you disagree "the one without sin, casting stones"??

Just how do you know who and how long someone is on welfare?

Because many welfare lifers like to brag about how they're milking the system. It's not a state secret, almost everyone knows someone like that. It doesn't take 20 years to find a job.

I don't think you understand that verse. "Let he who is without sin cast the first stone." Is another quote from Jesus condemning those on earth who would judge their fellow sinners. No stones were cast. Which is my point. It's not your place or mine to pass judgement on anyone, if that's what you believe in. "Vengeance is mine, sayeth the Lord."
Also it's spelled "you're". Like "you are."
Like I said, I'm far from a good christian. Or even a good person. But when you go to college they make you study old books, the Bible is one of them.

Knowing someone and generalizing everyone on public assistance as milking the system is a far stretch.

Show me one post of mine in this thread where I lumped all poor people into a category without a disclaimer?? Hell, compared to what most of these drivers on here make a year..I'm poor! lol. But I'm not on welfare.

I deliver to our local welfare office. It is very easy to tell who is very familiar with the process and those who are truly embarrassed to be there.

This whole thread is about dumping on the poor and the ghettos. It's funny that most on here would show their gratitude and honor someone in a military uniform, but turn their nose up to a homeless veteran on the street corner without even knowing it. Why? Because they already formed an opinion of someone before they even get within 20 feet of someone.

Now who's generalizing? You said I was generalizing everyone on welfare as milking the system...I said show me a post where I did that. You can't, because I didn't. But you formed an opinion of me, and you're not within 20 miles of me, much less 20 feet. If you're on your lunch, shouldn't you be volunteering at a soup kitchen or something..since you're all about lending your time to the less fortunate?

I don't need to tell the world what I do to feel good about myself. You should try that.

"You see, your fair network has created the very balanced narrative that ties people's poverty to their own lack of virtue. And says that programs created to serve the impoverished are in fact the reason that that they are still impoverished. Sort of the idea being 'If they weren't such
people, they wouldn't be poor. And those foodstamps are just making them tier.' Of course, you didn't say it so elegantly. Roll Fox News compilation. 'America's poor are actually living the good life' etc."http://thedailyshow.cc.com/full-episodes/w1ayhe/march-13--2014---anita-hill

That's the best you could come up with? Do you find it difficult to pat yourself on the back with your foot in your mouth? lol

So your argument is what? Stopsperhour has no moral ground to stand on because he's not in a soup kitchen right now? I mean, how does one argue against such ironclad reasoning except to say what he did?

Not necessarily, I have a bachelor's degree. and I haven't cracked a Bible since my confirmation when I was 12.
