Todays America

[marty f]

Todays America, saw it right in front of me.

Two mid 20s women with 6 crumb snatchers all under 6 between the two. Swipping that damn free food card so fast it had to be melting........

Verbatum ""yo kidz gets uz sum candy or whaeva yo wants, i gots 12dalars on my card left"

After the crumb snatcher distroyed the check out isle of last min crap, she swips that card again, "maam" you have $1.25 left"
"I getz me a coke, gots to get all dats mine"

I turned to the woman behind me that was watching this as well and i said "this is todays America, Im glad someone is enjoying it" she said " yeah and we get to payfor it."

Wonder how Greece is handling being broke............

The little crumb snatchers grow up to be BIG crumb snatchers with Diabetes and guess who foots the bill for that??

We could go on for hours beating this horse, but it's a ****ed up cycle we got ourself in.

What's sad Marty is its getting worse every single day ... I can't imagine what our grandkids may have to deal with. It's like the working people are becoming a minority ! Then you have to be really well off or you struggle to make ends meet and watch the nonworkers just swipe away !!! Ticks me off !

Some day.... when I grow a set.... I want to tell one of the "Swipers" to give me there stuff......

Because I paid for it.

The worst thing of all is that the lousy politicians have manufactured this in their favor. The hard part is how do we now shift the balance back. The saddest thing is that these minions living on our taxed income are so damned ignorant that they believe this can go on forever.

And now Obama almighty wants to integrate neighborhoods. So the crumb snatchers will get incentives to live in that nice suburban neighborhood you worked so hard to build your house in.

[ahlangle]

Read up on candidates and get out and vote for someone who can do something about this kind of stuff. I doubt the mama bear you saw in line will be in line at the polls, so take comfort in that and make sure you are.

My lady friend and I recently got engaged, the topic of children has been coming up quite often (about 6 times a week from my mother lol), we've mutually decided we will never try for one. Not that we wouldn't love to have one some day, but for fear of putting something that we would potentially care for so much in this s**t show. Most of our friends either are trying, or already have young children. I can't help but feel sorry for their kids, and almost resent them (parents) for being selfish enough to not even think twice about what they are bringing them into. They just decide they want a baby and go for it, never thinking about the actual unborn child itself. They're all great people / parents or I wouldn't be associated with them. I know these kids will have a great upbringing, and for the most part be molded into useful members of society (at least statistically they should, coming from said upbringings). But I can't help thinking of it as anything other than somewhat selfish. I am typically the "negative thinking, worst case scenario" kind of guy, that over analyzes simple tasks and situations though. Could just be me.

My first experience with today's America was about 15 years ago, I was working a summer job in Jackson, MS during my college years. My lunch was a PB sandwich and water. I stopped at a Wal-Mart to use the restroom and get another bottle water. The lady in front of me was buying her lunch with one of those magical government cards. Her lunch was cold snow crab legs. I learned that the system is broke after that instance. You can buy cold seafood such as crawfish, snow crab legs and such as long as it is cooked then chilled.

In summary, I was working in the hot Jackson heat and eating PB sandwich while that b**ch was eating snow crab leg and probably going home to produce more kids so that card balance can grow. It's F'ed up.

This nation is a stone's throw away from being a socialistic society. People have bought into the idea that equal opportunity means equal results, which is far from the truth. A little factor such as discipline, determination, and HARD WORK play key roles in achieving the "American Dream". Most "have nots" in today's society choose their path in life.

I was behind a woman at Walgreens and she bought 2 16oz redbulls. The total was $9 and she paid for it with an EBT card. You are supposed to be poor why are you drinking $4 redbulls instead of tap water. That's what I do. You should only be able to buy the essentials bread, meat, cheese, rice, milk etc. Not soft drinks and candy bars.

Follow the money! Don't get mad at the "swipers" their just a "cog in the machine." Who actually profits from this money?

Haha I can't tell you how many times my wife has grabbed me and told me to calm down in the checkout line. I saw what I think and I make sure it's loud enough for them to hear. F them if they don't like it. I dare then to do something. I have no issue with people that truely need the help. The abusers and users make me flame. Heard a woman in walmart last month bragging to her friend that she was up to 1k a month. Of course she had a litter with her. My wife was saying keep walking keep walking. I could have and wanted to reduce the taxpayer load in walmart.

When I see instances like that I do my best to realize that I have absolutely no control over the situation, which tends to add some solice to the situation. Also remember, a government that gives you everything can ultimately take it away. The reality is, the load is unsustainable. I predict that in the next 20 years the majority of our hard earned checks will be garnished and the government will distribute it equally to all. It will kill drive, work ethic, and quality of service across many industries. The US did not become the envy of the world adopting failed European idealism. With that said, a large sector of society wants to be socialistic under the banner of a "democracy".

You aren't alone. I just had this exact same talk with the girl I'm currently dating. Kind of a sad realization(I always wanted Children), but also a realistic one. I don't want to raise a child in this crime saturated, financially/politically destroyed, homosexual/transsexual crazed world we live in now. I bought some land in the country to hopefully get away from some it, and maybe have a family one day. But at this rate I'll prolly pack up my truck, load up the dogs and head to Canada before too long. Find a semi-remote location, and hunt/fish my tail off. No matter how hard you try to teach your kid right from wrong for the 4 hours you see them a day, it won't hold a candle to what they're going to be exposed to in the everyday world now a days. I just spent almost a week with my 14 year old niece while she was on summer vacation, the things she was telling me about what kids are doing is unreal. She saw Heroin at school in the 8th grade, and this is at a top 10 school in the state. I'm not talking about 14 year old jimmy who stole a nickel bag of weed from his brothers sock drawer and yall go burn it after school behind the corner store and then go ride bikes all over the city and think you're on dragons wings(I had a friend who had a friend that did that once...), I'm talking about kids who show up to school with bookbags full of Heroin. Not the world I want to live in, and definitely not the world I want to bring a person into. I'll do my 75 years here and move on, not too worried about carrying on my last name, no one can pronounce it anyway. haha

It is really unfortunate, and I have totally thought about doing the same thing. My ultimate goal is to downsize as much as possible in order to be as least connected and dependent as possible. Almost like getting back to the roots of true happiness, which isn't embedded in more stuff. Hunt, fish, and live off the land as much as possible. I like the idea.
