Yeah, LOL. If it were the losers trying to take the money personally, no judge in the land could issue a restraining order fast enough.

Good for Fla. This would be a good National policy, but getting the left to pass anything close is dreaming. I can't imagine what kind of twisted, demented, deranged, barmy thinking must go on inside the ACLU?????
This may get moderated out but...Eric Holder is a complete and total idiot as well as the most incompetant excuse for a AG imaginable I don't think he could be appointed to a low level public defender position....even in Chicago.

There's probably hundreds of things we're simpatico on....if the biggest difference we have is when during the course of a year the bass may be the heaviest and the pro's and cons of killing a few wayward otters...we're in clover!

Ya I'm with you kiethdog!
On a side note, today I heard on the radio some group in Florida is sueing in court Sea World for slavery! The suits on behalf of the killer whales and something about slavery is illegal and they are living beings that didn't choose to be whales instead of human. Hence laws that apply to humans should also apply to whales. Now wouldn't this be a great joke! It's not. It's for real, no lie. Anyway it's my hunch this new law whether appropriate or not isn't going to stay on the books. Like I mentioned earlier, teach them to fish. |

Yes Joe, but unstable is generous, try bankrupt. They became the great nanny state where the gov took care of everybody. Now they ain't got a pot to p**s in. Sad end for a little island that was once home to the brightest minds on the planet and conquerers of the known world.

We need to change our way of thinking from "how are we going to be able to pay what Congress wants to spend?" to "how much can Congress accomplish with what we are willing to give them?"
The Lyndon Johnson administration ruined everything. Once a huge portion of the population figured out that if they weren't willing to work, they could still extort a modest living from the other taxpayers, it was all over. Now they use their children like human shields, to defend their indefensible position. They prey on our sympathies to continue, and even expand the status quo. When even a Republican presidential candidate says if you don't want to pay for illegal alien tuition, you "don't have a heart," we are FUBAR'ed. The founders understood the concept of "no taxation without representation." It should work both ways; no representation without taxation. The only way to fix our system is to take the vote away from those who are on the government dole. Of course, that will never happen, since those sucking on the teat aren't going to vote to cut off their own supply. So my advice would be to stock up on the only precious metal that matters...lead. The system is going to go broke. There will be rioting in the streets, and roaming packs of scavengers within 5 years. Enjoy your bass fishing while you can. Sunny post, huh?

This is what you need Bryce - the Mossberg Blackwater 930: Because you need powder too. When anarchy occurs the shotgun will be king. Easy to reload the spent shells. Can use rusty nuts, bolts, pieces of nails or scrap metal, BB's, ball bearings, etc. when you find yourself short of lead. Slug loads also enable you to reach out and touch, should you need to. Very versitle weapon and the pucker power of the shotgun (especally in close quarters) is difficult to match with a rifle. My preference to the "assault" rifles so popular with many. It's easy to use also, just like a pocket camera..................... just point and shoot. Last edited by bassboogieman; 10-27-11 at 12:02 PM. |

Boogie, might I suggest a more intimidating option... a good ole fashioned blunderbuss. Why spend precious time reloading spent shotgun cartridges, when you can just grab a handful of debris and shove it down the pipe with the powder? Not in that order.
Notice the Ivory handle and brass muzzle... a must for the scavenger gentleman.

"find it insulting (and ironic) that requiring drug testing to receive tax dollars as a handout is apparently a violation of the 4th Amendment's "unreasonable search and seizure" clause.''
My son receives tax dollars in the form of a ssi check due to his disability (c.p.). Are you suggesting they drug test my 7 year old son? Thats the only problem I see with this. There will be children involved in this, children that have no say in how their parent(s) spend said welfare monies, but (hopefully) at least see a little benefit from it. So because mom smokes pot little susie doesn't eat well this month. Are the parents spending the money the way their supposed to? probably not, but at least it is the parents neglecting the children instead of the government. |

Are you suggesting he wouldn't pass?
Obviously, there are finer points to be made. Let's not distract from the real issue of lazy people abusing the system, which your son obviously is not. Shaniqua Da'shawntwonerious Queeshamoneesha and her brood of 10 kids who stay home alone at night while she clubs it up is who I'm talking about.

nope, but it would be unreasonable search and seizure of a 7 year old, and who would make the decisions on who gets tested and not, you cant just request Shaniqua get tested and leave Carl out. That sounds kind of racist. |

Doc, it is not unreasonable search and seizure. Participation in these programs, regardless of how much they are needed, is completely voluntary.
If someone wants free money, they have to be willing to accept the house rules. And if "Carl" is an adult, I don't care if he's argyle-colored. He gets tested like the rest.

I have to disagree with you, my participation in the ssi program (for my son to receive benefits), is not voluntary, it is a necessity not particulary for the insignificant amount of money he receives monthly (not complaining, about the amount grateful for what he gets) but the benefits that come along with it make it a necessity. Have you ever tried getting health insurance for someone with a pre existing disability? His quarterly botox shots to keep the contracture(s) in check for example run about 1k a piece, he gets anywhere from 4 to 12, not counting anesthesia, or other hospital costs associated with, Physical therapy 3 times a week, OT 2 times a week. So in my case at least participation is not voluntary. I would much rather not deal with the government knowing how I spend all my money, what Items of value over 500 dollars I have in my house, or keeping me from excelling financially any further at work for fear of loosing benefits for my son.
I do agree that they should be held accountable for how they spend the monies, but like other things this could be a slippery slope and invasion of personal privacy. What about instead of drug testing them, audit them and make them prove how they are spending the monies. Like Social Security rides my ***. I have to account for every penny of the money my kid receives. (I assume this is because I am of the working class, and make a decent living.) |

Doc, you have my sympathy and respect for your situation. You know that. It has to be very rough sometimes.
But I am talking the definition of voluntary. They will not force the money or assistance on you if you don't want it or choose not to pursue it. Quite the contrary, they pretty much make you beg for it. It is certainly irritating to you, but I'm not sure that is a bad thing. Surely it weeds out at least a few potential candidates who don't actually need it. I'm sure if you think about it, you would agree your irritation is worth the help taking care of your son. However, most, if not many people in this country have come to confuse need with "entitled to". They no longer feel the need to put forth any effort, nor bear any inconvenience, to receive the benefit of others' generosity. They feel entitled to it, and have no gratitude in their hearts. They feel free to demand it, and then question the manner in which it is provided (sorry, had to paraphrase Colonel Jessup ).

Y'know this is not a "new issue" brought on by LBJ or even FDR. They may have exacerbated the problem but they certainly didn't create it. A quote from Benjamin Franklin from about 250 years ago acknowledge the issue and his thoughts on how to resolve it:

Give a man a fish and you'll feed him for the day, teach a man to fish and he can feed himself and his family from then on? Why does our govenment NOT understand that concept? Could it be that a handout will get them a vote, and a hand up will not? Nah, couldn't possibly be.
