Prove it, asswipe.

I'm hoping that they'll be too weak from malnourishment to hold their guns steady.

There's nowhere I can't reach.

Seeing as though he dissed my post asking for the same and then left Dodge, I can only assume he can't back up his gut feeling with facts, Magi.

This thing is sticky, and I don't like it. I don't appreciate it.

Do you feel that your salary would support five young children? Why or why not?

Look, all I know is that my state has had the highest unemployment in the union since before the World Trade Center bombing. We went from 10% unemployment in January to 15% near the end of the year.

Given that, how likely do you reckon it is for the unemployed to get back on their feet? How much money can my state throw at the unemployed to keep them in their labelled clothing and their Comcast subscriptions and their DSes?

I was speaking idiomatically.

I just know for the last 5 years of my life I, myself, have been denied aid from the government as far as loans and grants for college go because my single mother makes about 25k a year and that's 'rich' according to the letter of rejection they sent me.

But then again I'm not going out and trying to have 5 kids before I reach the legal drinking age here in america.

But, and I could be getting this wrong, are you and Brady saying that it is a better life decision, as a young woman, to go out and get knocked up as much as you can so you can live off the state?

I could just be reading it wrong but that's how it sounds to me.

What I'm asking is whether you think you deserve federal assistance money as an adult son of a woman who makes 25k a year more than five prepubescent children of a woman who makes 0 dollars a year.

But for the hell of it, I'm also asking why you think you have it worse off as a working adult than a non-working mother of five.

btw, I got federal loans and scholarships even though my 4 member one income family only topped around $40k in income, so forgive me for thinking you're either lazy or full of shit.

What kind of toxic man-thing is happening now?

I reckon you'll get even more money if you get her preggers.
