49. Oh I agree with you, but he is indeed, and in fact, very spiteful…like single mothers should have

mastectomies on top of weekly drug tests in order to get welfare. They should be willing to do this if there is a real need, in his opinion.

This would stop the cheaters, he said. <<<----this is the tip of the iceberg. It gets worse, and now I see why, or part of the reason why. I don't say 'spiteful' with this context lightly, but the truth is the truth. there are many, many, many more unsavory examples but they are beside the point right now.

I couldn't see something like that and ignore it. I didn't want to be a bull in a China shop about it. I came here for levity and it was an eye opening experience.

Why are you saying that I am judging him? Seriously! I am not. thanks. nt LaydeeBug Dec 2013 #17
