George W. Bush: The Food Stamp President

[Harrekin]

the holocaust was perpetrated upon us.

the fact that ireland based its entire economy on a fucking tuber and had no fucking clue how to handle the blight is entirely your country's fault.

here is to wishing for many green potatoes for ya, buddy.

Yeah, cos in the 1840's the British didn't own all of the usable land or run the country or anything like that.

Nice history fail Unclebuck

you guys let the british bully you around for so long?

we kicked their asses and chased them out half a century before.

you guys should have stuck to sheep.

If you're on foodstamps you also get $100.00 off your state issued medical marijuana card in Oregon. If they gave everyone that same discount I bet the need for foodstamps would drop.

i went on food stamps every may for that very reason. never used them though.

 

[so.far.so.good]

I don't understand the state's logic; why they would force more patients on foodstamps when those patients' real hunger is to be free from pain and free from the pain in their wallets.

 

[so.far.so.good]

Message to the state: keep your damn foodstamps, I just need affordable pain meds.

Who is going to cover the cost for all the munchies then?

they are not forcing anyone onto food stamps, they are making it easier for those in financial hardship to get a card. it applies to people on the oregon health plan as well, maybe other programs.

You have a really short memory dude, where exactly did most US people's ancestors emigrate from? Ireland and England? Interesting. So the colonies of British people with the assistance of the French fought away their own people?

Thats two history fails in a row!

 

[UncleBuck]

there are 60,000 patients in oregon.

there are 700,000 people on food stamps.

even if every single patient were on food stamps (they are not), that would mean an 8% drop.

given that 18% of people in oregon use food stamps, let's suppose 25% of patients are on food stamps and they all drop off.

that means a mere 2% reduction in food stamps.

are you denying that americans were not subject to british rule at the time you were all starving for basing your entire diet on a tuber?

by the way, guinness SUCKS.

 

[so.far.so.good]

Perhaps, but the fees for an annual OMMP card keep going up for everyone including those on foodstamps, hence why there are only 60,000 statewide patients because even with foodstamps or w/o foodstamps the price of meds is out of reach for most.

No you just don't get it, the British elite owned all the land, Irish people were glorified slaves on their own land.

Its good that you can't win a debate with reason and instead resort to insulting a drink manufactured here.

You are THE definition of a troll.

 

[so.far.so.good]

The next earthquake will be caused by a demographic shift as Oregonians move to Washington so they can avoid Oregon's annual OMMP fees.

Of which 60-95% of the population was loyalist? There would've been no way to control it so we let them keep it.

History fail number three, a hat-trick for you tonight.

we had loyalist pockets in the colonies as well.

when your potato famine hit, these people called themselves americans.

Here's some history for ya, you can't even keep from under the Brits boots. Once you can keep your country free of foreign occupiers then you ca dispense advice. Until then drink another Guinnes and keep licking British boots

I know our US school system sucks atm but I will be damned before I let anybody spew forth lies about my families homeland, and I don't give a shit about you guys nickpickin over food stamps, feed the poor people already.


In the 17th and 18th centuries, Irish Catholics had been prohibited by the penal laws from owning land, from leasing land; from voting, from holding political office; from living in a corporate town or within 5 mi (8.0 km) of a corporate town, from obtaining education, from entering a profession, and from doing many other things that are necessary in order to succeed and prosper in life.

The majority of Ireland was Catholic and more or less white slaves. Northern Ireland was intentionally overpopulated with Brits, which is why Northern is still British. As a slave me thinks you do not have a huge choice about what is grown on land you do not own but have to plant on.

You are expecting a bunch of poor slaves back in the day to overthrow the worlds greatest military power of the time? We (USA) had to have the French to help or we would still be right there.

The way you talk you must wonder why the slaves here didn't uprise and woop our slave owning asses back in the late 1700's -early 1800's.

Talk all the legit shit about Eire you want but don't be making bullshit up about the famine, My fathers side of the family were Irish Catholics (my Dad is the last of the Catholics) and I have got to hear many stories about the brit bullshit.

BTW, if it was not for us Irish and Scots the North would have lost the civil war.... you prolly do not know that tho do you..............

Do any of you even recall the bullshit from 1845 - 1963 (JFK) this country(USA) put Irish Catholics thru? I bet not one of you are old enough to know so STFU.

UB, not cool to bash our European friends. Show a little courtesy and respect. You are acting like an "ugly American" here. Consider this constructive criticism.
