The weirdest part about @spandy 's complaint is that his very own brand of government has done everything in its power to protect access to junk food in schools, even going so far as to classify ketchup as a vegetable so that french fries with ketchup counts as two vegetable servings in a subsidized school lunch program. They don't care about providing healthy food for kids that really need it, yet throw a conniption over somebody buying tater tots on EBT. Where jerks like Spandy are going is elimination of EBT, because "those people are wasting the money on soda". The reality that most people use EBT rationally and are better off for it. Fortunately, only two of the three branches of government are dominated by the GOP, and Obama isn't going to sign off on the elimination of food aid to the poor.

I guess my spinal injury is an excuse. This pisses me off. There are reasons exercise is a lot harder for me than other people, not excuses.
You don't know what other people go through.

Dont be pissed. There are exceptions to most everything.

However, your body burns X amount of calories even at rest. 6 foot tall man, 160 pounds is burning around 1500 calories doing nothing but breathing all day, body functions, etc. So that person probably shouldn't eat more than 1500 calories per day or they will gain weight, plain and simple.

Everyone that is overweight has an excuse. It is calories in / calories out.

All your fault? I never said that. I said you are a hypocritical jerk. You share blame with a lot of people. You are grandiose if you think it's all your fault..

Blame the poor, fucking classy. Maybe you should work smart, not hard, or you could just shut up about what you think other people deserve. You don't know their situation. The rims could be a gift, maybe they bought them before they had to get food assistance. You don't know, so don't pretend you do. The media has trained you to believe there's a whole class of welfare leeches, but it is actually a tiny tiny percentage. Blaming poor people for being poor is disgusting, shame on you. You're a decent dude in other ways, but this line of thinking is nothing more than propaganda designed to distract us from the real problem;

White Collar Criminals, who are the ones actually robbing the fuck out of you, me, and those broke-ass hungry people with nice rims.

About a third of the people in this thread have no clue how civilization actually works.

Point taken. I was not ripping on the hard working poor people that deserve more for their labor. Guess i put my point across in the wrong manner. I understand how it is to be poor. I grew up very poor and got made fun of all the time being brought up. I guess i decided i would try to work hard in life to try to bring my kids up different and not have to be judged the way i was. I was in no way trying to belittle anyone that is less fortunate but i did unintentionally. My hats off to those that do try to better their life and not abuse the system. I have no problem with those that use the system to feed their self and their children when times get tough. We all have times that we need help in one way or another. I did not mean to sound better than anyone because i know i am not. I feel blessed everyday for what i have and try not to take advantage of it but sometimes we forget what matters most. Your right there is enough HATE in this world and i did not mean to contribute to it.

Again, you are telling people what to do. Fuck off. Take care of your own business and what's not your business is simply that.

Damn, that cut deep. You know when I said you couldnt hurt my feelings?

Still stands.

I'll take care of my own business when everyone else takes care of theirs. As of now, more people are living off the dole than ever before. That money didn't come out of thin air.

That is based only on how each state voted in the most recent presidential election. Sounds like bullshit to me.

Either way, both sides need to get off their asses and fund their own lives.

That assclown was just beating his gums to make his head vibrate. He has no concern for the health of others when he sniveled about adults making choices about what to purchase with their EBT. The same goddam people he supports worked to classify ketchup as a vegetable for the lunch program. This to cut program cost. He's just another fucking complaining right winger. It never stops. Imagine what he is like to be around.

no need to imagine. i have a neighbor like that. i just nod politely and smile a lot when they go on about all the hispanic neighbors.

spandy is bitter because he scrapes pennies all day apparently. he can't even pay taxes without keeping two books.

he won't deny it either.

Dude, respect. Thanks for taking my point. You are a mature human with control over their emotions, that's entirely too rare. Thanks for enduring my brow beating. I know exactly how that sort of post happens, when you catch me doing something similar, slap me a bit so I remember.
