    You're quick with the glib replies, but weak on actually engaging in productive dialogue. You are afraid of something, and I suspect it's a basic lack of topical knowledge.

    That's all well and good except if you're a woman with a couple of kids and they ain't got no babysitters

    Maybe those service and waitresses jobs wages could be increased you know for like people that can't get two jobs because they ain't got no transportation

    Rarely does a person who has been on welfare for more than a year, will desire to go and get a job. they will come up with all the excuses in the book, no transportation, no babysitter, Can't afford to lose my welfare, medical etc. etc.

    Funny thing; my Niece couldn't get section 8 housing because she was the wrong color (white). Good thing, she was forced to live with her Dad, forcing her to obey his wish. she had to get a job (without a car, no babysitter). She is now supporting four kids on her own.

    Ah, that explains so much about you. You're a racist! I never suspected. What is it with you evangelicals? Something from the Old Testament? Like Noah cursing Ham to be enslaved?

    FYI: She was told that by the social worker.

    Crazy thing, I had a friend tell me the same thing 15 years ago- Social worker, said the same thing to Him (wrong color).

    Not predictable. His own words. "Funny thing; my Niece couldn't get section 8 housing because she was the wrong color (white)."

    When outed, he quickly threw in "She was told that by the social worker". Interesting he omitted that little part until caught. Then he suddenly remembered the same thing from 15 years ago. I guess it was the same social worker! This would be laughable if not so revolting.

    I believe you're a racist too. Not the white-sheeted hooded kind, but the kind that prefers blacks "in their place". The Trump school of racism.

    Two peas in a pod.

    Study up on welfare. Many states have adopted policies as to how long someone can be on welfare. Time limits range from 24 months to 60 months. Only a few states have no time limits.

    My Catholic Charities clients knew they had two years on welfare and then they'd get a letter informing them to seek work because they would be cut loose from welfare payments. And so it was. Part of my job was helping them job hunt, fill out job applications, and do well on interviews.

    Who doesn't get section-8 housing? If you have two kids and you apply, how are you not going to get it???

    You are correct. Once you are given notice, time to pop out another Brat!

    Still leaves some without time limits.

    Nicknames are rarely the real name. No surprise there.

    You can't deflect by your nickname from your racism and your lie about your age. Don't post those long sermons about you and God that you are prone to do - they give Jesus a bad name by association.

    I know you think all kinds of things, I’m sure. But I for a long time now have imagined everybody that I see with a wheelbarrow. And I have a wheelbarrow too. And when you see me, you can think of me and my wheelbarrow. And I have stuff in my wheelbarrow. I may have it hitched to the back of my car. You may like my car, you may hate my car, but I have a wheelbarrow. And in that wheelbarrow I have trials and temptations and fears and failures and disappointments and heartaches and longings. I don’t wake at three o’clock in the morning just to think about the soccer scores from Spain, and neither do you. We are all in this together.

    Oh, go away, will you? The nuisance factor is getting the best of you.
