PEOPLE ON WELFARE

[Duchess]

Those living off the sweat of others have no business having access to the internet, cable television or any other "extra". Get a fuckin' job.

Watch out, you'll probably be getting nasty messages from them!

AMEN. I don't know if I was oblivious or what a few years ago but I didn't give all the welfare/food stamp/sect 8 people much thought. It drives me fuckin' crazy now. I guess because the bad economy has affected my family greatly (and not in a good way). I am disgusted by these people that work the system. There are a hell of a lot of them in Atlanta and they just keep on multiplying.

Their entitled.

I realize I am profiling but I am going to guess that this stupid bitch has some of those entitlement issues.....

Woman arrested on train for talking loudly on phone for 16 HOURS! (And she was in the quiet carriage)

As if it isn't hard enough to get to sleep on overnight journeys, one group of unlucky passengers shared a carriage with a woman who talked loudly on her mobile phone for 16 hours. In the end she was arrested.

Lakeysha Beard of Tigard, Oregon, was charged with disorderly conduct after police were called by Amtrak staff following continued complaints from passengers.

Police said the 39-year-old became aggressive and was involved in a 'verbal altercation' when asked to be quiet during the journey from Oakland, California to Salem, Oregon

Fellow travellers said Ms Beard refused to put the phone down even after staff made repeated announcements for passengers to not use mobile phones.

Ms Beard told Portland's KATU News that she felt 'disrespected' by the incident.

The train pulled out of the station in Oakland at 10pm on Saturday night and came to a halt at a crossing about two miles from Salem station at 2pm on Sunday.

Heh heh. I look forward to Cracker's response.

[Duchess]

Her response to a loud black person is what I should have clarified.

[Cracker]

Heh heh. I look forward to Cracker's response.

I had the same response as everyone else, "Damn N." hahahahaha

[ZEROSPHERES]

I heard she just had those Really, really longs nails and couldn't press the "End Call" button. That's what her court appointed, taxpayer-paid defense council said. When asked to comment the ACLU said she has a first amendment right and and any offended passengers could get off the train and move to the suburbs.

Her response to a loud black person is what I should have clarified.

Actually, what caught my eye was the use of "disrepected."

That is a ghetto black people word. White people have their own self-respect and don't ever feel "disrespected," so do decent blacks. It is a weak ass black culture excuse for being a shitty human, a justification of low thinking and low behavior.

Being "disrespected" is the biggest lie blacks tell themselves. They think other people can disrespect you. In truth, when you are a piece of shit, most people don't realize you exist. You can't disrespect someone that has no self-respect. If they were truly tuned in to disrespect, they wouldn't be able to leave the fucking house, much less yell at each other at the fucking movies and on trains.

Who would talk to that ugly bitch for that long? Who has that long to even talk on the phone?

I can't think about this too hard because it makes my head hurt. Yes, we paid that stupid bitch to be there along with whomever she was "hollerin' at."

$2M Michigan lottery winner defends use of food stamps

A Michigan man who won $2 million in a state lottery game continues to collect food stamps 11 months after striking it rich.

And there's nothing the state can do about it, at least for now.

Leroy Fick, 59, of Auburn won $2 million in the state lottery TV show "Make Me Rich!" last June. But the state's Department of Human Services determined he was still eligible for food stamps, Fick's attorney, John Wilson of Midland, said Tuesday.

Eligibility for food stamps is based on gross income and follows federal guidelines; lottery winnings are considered liquid assets and don't count as income. As long as Fick's gross income stays below the eligibility requirement for food stamps, he can receive them, even if he has a million dollars in the bank.

Food stamps are paid for through tax dollars and are meant to help support low-income families.

"If you're going to try to make me feel bad, you're not going to do it," Fick told WNEM-TV in Saginaw on Monday.

Wilson said Fick told the DHS officials he'd won $2 million but was told he could keep using the Bridge Card issued to him to buy groceries.

Fick could not be reached for comment Tuesday.

Al Kimichik, director of the office of inspector general for DHS, said the department could not comment on individual cases but that it this week began the process of requesting a waiver from the federal government to close the lottery loophole. If it is granted, assets would be counted in determining food stamp eligibility.

Though the food stamp program is federal and states must follow U.S. guidelines, states sometimes request waivers of rules. Michigan was granted a waiver recently to stop college students from qualifying for food stamps.

"For Leroy Fick to continue to use a Bridge Card, paid for by the taxpayers, after winning the lottery, is obscene," said Sen. Rick Jones, R-Grand Ledge. "What a waste of taxpayer money."

Jones contacted DHS officials Monday about Fick's case, and was told the department's hands were tied by federal regulations.

"There is no liquid asset requirement for getting food stamps," Jones said. "The department is asking the federal government for an immediate change (in policy). They're hoping this case will help the federal government act."

Until then, Fick can collect food stamps and keep his lottery winnings in the bank.

"I am not going to sit and debate the ethics of this," Wilson said. "But from his standpoint, he did what he was supposed to do -- he informed the state, and the state said he could keep using the card. The problem is with the state."
