Actually it was Dana who first hijacked this thread with the comment about "theses welfare folk" then Pa elaborated and Sully chimed in with another attack on anyone getting welfare not just the abusers. Then mcginn made the point that this isn't the place to be debating the welfare system as whole , because it was supposed to be about people who continue to receive benefits even after winning. And then of course you chimed in with your hate filled rantings. Something we are all fed up with. Now it's gone completely off the rails and this thread has devolved into a flame fest. You being the biggest instigator.
I believe this is exactly what you wanted it to be. My question is why a lotto site to express your hate for liberals ? Why couldn't you, dana, sully and Pa just left it at the original topic at hand? Why do you feel the need to just attack liberals and even moderates at any opportunity ? I'm pretty sure no one you're attacking even liberals of this sight think what the woman in the story did was ok. And yet your attacking any one who doesnt fit your conservative criteria anyway. It's not good enough that we all agree this woman is a leach, we have to all agree with everything else you say too or we're all America hating limp wristed libs.
My friend of 20 years is a true capitalist, anti welfare, small government conservative and even he would be disgusted by your antics. The difference between you and he is he has the ability to reason and knows theres a time and place. We can disagree without attacking each other. When I'm doing work on his shop, he doesnt start calling me a limp wristed liberal for believing in safety nets. This is not the place for your political agenda. This is my last attempt to reason with you. If nothing I've said can get through to you thick skull then block me now because I'm gonna give you some of your own medicine by trolling all your posts with insults and rantings that have nothing to do with the subject. Good day Barb

The debate has begun and lets debate with facts shall we ?
Dana who first hijacked the thread with the comment about " theses" welfare folk".....
Page 1 of the thread asked if it was ethical to win a million and keep receiving state welfare.
FACTS:
(1) I stated, "While I agree with CARBOB on the public officials pensions, it seems to me that there is an integrity issue with these welfare folks as well." I did also continue by stating,"I would like to see a ruling where these people who win a jackpot of lets say $200,000.00 or more are removed from the program. "these welfare folks" is refering the title of the thread in the poll and I quote, "Is It Ethical For $1M+ Lottery Winners to Continue Collecting State Welfare? "not going off on the whole system. Just the winners........ WINNERS is plural which means more than one, hence "these welfare folks"
(2) I based my opinion on personal integrity and morals regarding honesty and being self relient.
(3) Definition of "hijacked"----to seize (a vehicle) by force or threat of force.to engage in such stealing or seizing.
(4) I stated," gotta relax and be mature about things. I am not like YOUR representative Barney Frank and will never be when it comes to those male -on-male activities....I feel sorry for ya Nick ....Hope your day goes better and you get some assistance with your sexual overtones/comments..After all this is a post about Welfare & Lottery Winners...God Bless America & take care. Hope you have a winning ticket soon. "////
Your reply," ah because you're the picture of maturity with your big bright colorful f ont to draw attention to your post's instead of actually making a valid point about anything. And I suppose your never failing to stroke ridge's ego is also the mature thing to do as well. You two should get a room....and invite Barney to join you Don't feel sorry for me bud, I actually have friends outside of the internet."
(5) "Why couldn't you, dana, sully and Pa just left it at the original topic at hand?
A copy of your statement and I quote from Page 5
And everyone is aware of the "natural" warming and cooling processes of this planet, this doesn't mean humans aren't capable of speeding up the process you dolt. Why don't you do some independant research instead of just regurgitating what the right wing talk shows tell you? Because you're a f#cking idiot who hasn't the slightest clue where to start. You're incapable of thinking for yourself. You vote republican so you must adhere to all their agenda because your god Rush Limbaugh tells you so. Ask yourself;How much exactly is gore making off global warming? then ask How much are oil companies making by denying it? "
NON FACTS involving me in your above statement:
(1) Not stating the word "theses"..see above copy
(2) I did not force or threaten to force or steal or seize anything.
(3) I have never once posted a comment about," attack liberals and even moderates at any opportunity"
In closing, your show falseness and vulgarity in a number of postings through this thread. You sir are simply " Gormless and Nibbish" when it comes to stating FACTS about me and my postings in this thread. To which this will be my last in here. I do wish you good luck with your lottery picks .
Take care and God Bless those who play the lottery tonight...Heres hoping anyone of us has a jackpot soon
