Welfare

Welfare...

I went down this morning to sign up my Dogs for welfare. At first the
lady said, "Dogs are not eligible to draw welfare". So I explained to
her that my Dogs are black, white, red, brown, and purple unemployed, lazy, can't speak English and has no frigging clue who thier Daddy is. So she looked in her policybook to see what it takes to qualify. My Dogs gets thier first check Friday and I will never have to work again. Damn this is a great country.

I got this e-mail to me and about fell out of my chair. Ok I change it so to not hurt anyones feels. Now I may hurt everyones feels. :wink:

Don't feel bad Katrina, you're not the first to get called names for saying the "L" word.

They used to be called progressives and then Liberals, now they want to be called progressives again.

Not sure what they are progressing towards. The further you travel left, away from the centre of the political spectrum, you find communism and fascism.

I don't think there are too many defenders of the "L" left here. Wait and see I guess.

Sorry I was referring to the Lazy word and overlooked everything else. Would have deleted but it didn't seem to want me to.

There is a girl not too far from here who calls us occasionally when she needs someone to listen for a while.

She comes from a home where many of her mother's numerous "boyfriends" sexually abused her while in her home, such as it was.

Probably kinda tough for an 7 or 8 year old girl to understand why a grown man is hurting her like that. Again and again.

Year after year until she finally leaves home, just to keep on finding men who want to use her.

Her real daddy wants little to do with her - too busy trying to hold things together with his present women and keep food in their infant son's mouth.

At 19 years old, the girl is now pregnant. Not too sure who the daddy is.

I'm cross with her because she cannot seem to respond positively to those of us who have tried to help her work toward a healthier lifestyle.

But when she calls, I still listen and try to give direction where I am able, but it is heartbreaking to see her go down a hellish road that just seems to keep on propagating itself into a cycle of doom.

She is on welfare.


And she is white.


And I will still keep on being there in case there is the slightest chance of showing her the Grace that is available to help her break out of her inherited bondage.


After seeing the pain and anguish some go through even though it seems self-inflicted, I don't think it's funny.

Go ahead and put a whole race of people down just to feel better about yourself. Katrian is still too clueless to see what is wrong with the joke.

People have to want a better life for themselves or their kids. Welfare doesn't do much good other than enable. Kids gotta eat. I am all for whatever it takes to feed kids. What I resent is that Welfare has become a way of life for many. We have way too many chips off the ole blocks. Or nuts that don't fall to far from the tree. How do we feed kids but not be the enabler? That's the real question that needs some real resolution.

It IS the real question.


It seems to me that government-run welfare is largely at fault.

How can an entity that is without capacity for feelings administer an effort that was once known as "charity"? Charity, that nebulous action that implies "love in action"?

How can an institution that is largely motivated by personal and corporate greed and gain while running without any moral constraint suitably help, while teaching responsibility, those who are in need?

Should it be left up to the Church, with its supposed impetus toward doing good works? :lol: Shouldn't laugh, but I find it hard to repress mirth at the thought of that happening equitably.

And before you church goers get the daggers out, I'm a life-long church goer myself. Not sure why, at times.

Could it be that the Kingdom way to care for those in need is to do it on a strictly personal level? A kind of care that looks after the immediate need while simultaneously invoking a sense of responsibility on the recipient?

The beauty and the horror of that thought is that it would require a dedicated commitment to the improvement of the life of the one who is down and out.

I think of it as discipleship. But as much as we like to be called Christians, we are not so much into the discipleship thing. Neither as disciples or "disciplers".

So we leave it up to the government and bitch and chew about it not working . . .

There is no excuse.

You teach them how to fish. You also adapt the Bible Principle if one won't work they don't eat. You take care of the children and let the worthless adults starve!

Then of course if the people were allowed to keep their own money without sending it through Washington. Which allows those who simply uses the funds to control their constituents and buy votes. Charity could be had for 58 cents less of every dollar handed out.

Also if man could see the deeds of using his funds to benefit others it would be more enjoyable.

You could cut entitlements by 65/70 percent if you simply drug tested those receiving them. If they use drugs don't let them starve but bread and water is good enough for them.

The real problem at the top is if people are not dependent on the government then they loose control of the people!

Hey Einstein the part about the black dog is the bad part. Has nothing to do with politics.

I didn't really notice the black dog part. Dog could have been white for all that matters. I don't judge people by the color of their skin, I judge them by their actions.

So I picked up on the lazy part of the joke.

and I think if I am not mistaken, Katrina's joke was about a dog being a liberal.

Did I miss something?

Yes you certainly did miss something. Katrina's joke was the same one about the "black" dog.

Then it wasn't that joke that I was referring to, when saying that she got heck for calling someone a liberal.

seems you did not know what you were talking about when you tried to insult my intelligence.

I don't mean to hurt anyones feels. I many of my friends that use Walfare some TO GET BACK ON THEIR FEET and some just live off the government :mad: . It drives me crazy to see these people with all kinds of cell phones, flat screen TV's and other things. What do they do durning the day, drink beer on the corner. I know one guy that has 9 kids and told me he can make more money having kids than working. Thats who the gov. should cut off and take the kids, but they want because it will hurt their feels. All they are doing is raising the next generation the same way. More government months to feed.
