(3,182 posts)1. This person cannot afford the internet. He needs to shut it off. And, don't go to Starbucks, because you can't afford them either, even IF you only sit outside and don't buy anything. And, if you're in the smoking section, you're a damned fool for smoking, even though you don't and just sit there to be as unobtrusive as possible so you won't get thrown out because you didn't buy anything.
2. Rent? You can't afford rent. By gawd, you belong on that pile of leaves over there.
3. Since you don't need rent, you don't need utilities either. And, a discarded cooler is much cheaper than a damned referigator.
4. By GAWD, you had KIDS? In your 40s? Then you're a damned fool. Go get a job!
5. Can't afford your meds? Get a job!
Oh yeah, some more.....
6. If you qualify for Social Security, you qualify for Medicare, so you're lying. Even though that's a bold faced lie!
7. Your husband died? Well, so what, that still doesn't qualify you for Social Security (without Medicare) unless you have his minor child, which you were a damned fool for having in your 40s. See #4 above.
Every one of those things was posted to me just yesterday right here on DU.
