    You are from Australia and claim to know what is going on in the US. That’s too funny. Why don’t you contact them and get some names ??? There are no people in the US starving in the streets. It obviously went right over your head but the various organizations both public and private which provide food to those who qualify or ask completely disprove your claim that 40 million (13% of the population) are going hungry. Obesity is actually a major problem of the low income quintiles.

    The evidence you provided proved that your contention is false.

    Your contention is not true. The truth wins.

    No, I want to protect the CHILDREN of these parents from starving to death, like I said. And I mean children who are existing now, not theoretical children of the future. Have you gotten so much into IT that you think virtual children are real?

    Malnutrition can occur in the obese and in fact often is found in the obese. If you are eating the cheapest foods they will be high in sugars and carbohydrates low in protein fibre and anything resembling vitamins and minerals

    In conservotopia, where cherry picked anecdotes are seen as reflecting actuality. I'm talking about reality, where most of us have to live.

    And yet in Australia some of the poorest are rural

    They live on far less than the minimum wage and have added expenses in travel, health care etc

    I KNOW I live rural and remote - people on the land are hurting

    No there is a difference between starvation and malnutrition but I would not expect the undereducated right to understand that :roll::roll::roll:

    Nicotine is highly addictive and quitting is not easy even when health is at risk.

    Most of my friends have the same story. Anybody willing to work can support themselves, even if it's not a lavish lifestyle. It just takes a little discipline. My 25 year old is supporting himself, his wife, and baby without help. I hooked him up with a good used truck when he joined the military, but the rest is him.

    I enjoy helping people who are exercising discipline and spend within their means. I have no sympathy for able bodied people who sit around and expect handouts.

    Jeebus, can't you even find a meme instead of all those emojis?

    A cat captioned with your contention is seen as MUCH superior to any dumb old "facts" someone might choose to present.

    How about the friend of mine who was caught in an abusive relationship - she is a hair dresser - finally managed to get out of the relationship - he sued for everything (not just half) she managed to get out of that then finally got a place of her own and was diagnosed with a brain tumour

    Some people do not get a break

    Is that the best you can do?

    Our southern border is not officially declared wide open

    But it is unable to prevent millions of illegal aliens and drug smugglers in each year

    So you cant call it a controlled border either

    Maybe we need a new word added to the Libberish dictionary just to satisfy liberal perfectionists

    According to Calvinist doctrine this shows that they are not among God's "Elect". Calvinism maintains that God truly hates some people and this explains why some people are poor and some rich. Calvinism maintains that it is not just useless to help the poor but blasphemous as it seeks to thwart the Will of God. Not surprisingly, this is a very popular moral doctrine among the rich and is one of the bases of conservatism.

    At least that's what they taught me back in Catechism class.

    And most successful people will have the same story and to them it is true. People do not generally remember all the help they've been given, if they ever really know. Even less do they realize how fortunate they've been, how many times the hurtling truck went by or the cancer did not manifest. People don't become successful without working hard and many people are poor because they are lazy, no doubt, but the apparent conservative doctrine I see here; that poverty is entirely due to being a moral degenerate, or stupid, or both, is not a right way of looking at things either.
