[QUOTE="tRidiot, post: 3310792, member: 9374"] Well, that's a terribly uncharitable, judgmental and selfish opinion. Who are you to say they shouldn't be allowed to take advantage of government programs just because they make different lifestyle choices than you??? I know an absolute [B]shiteload[/B] of people who smoke weed (either with a card or without) and are on various .gov programs. Like... I've encountered probably thousands. It's not so funny, and it's not a small segment of the population. Not by any stretch. And yes, I think people who are on the various .gov assistance programs should have some sort of accountability for their lifestyle choices, absolutely. That is a bit of a slippery slope and difficult thing to assess and enforce, but that doesn't mean (to me) that it shouldn't be attempted. My church helps people out all the time - but they/we also have limits and have some expectations. Charity is charity no matter how you slice it, and I don't think it should be without strings. Personally. Of course, it seems my opinion is not in the majority in this country - or at least not in the majority of those who make policy. [/QUOTE]
