Which got me to thinking about the other day I went shopping, I had a lil hand basket with just a few things I could afford at Safeway and the cashier asked me if I would donate to the food bank, I had to think for a minute,..you're an expensive over priced asshole grocery store and you're asking me if "I" can afford to make a donation ? Then boast to everybody how "you" helped out the community ? Wow !

TweetIt is very sad. I just signed up at a local church, that houses the homeless, on Saturday nights. Because I love to cook, and help, I will cooking up meals and working on a shift that night. They also do free haircuts for them once a month. Might have to dust off my shears. I always give at stores even though they take the credit, I still feel anything can help

Tweetwith all the gov programs that are out there, we shouldnt have to do any additional help. i dont have a problem helping and that is not what i am saying. when a woman that has 6 kids with no husband lives in gov housing and gets a check that is more than what a hard working waitress makes. then why in the hell should we have to pitch in? an average waitress that works hard for 40 hours a week can make over 60k a year. that's a lot of freaking money. i have a buddy that opened two new diners in our city. he tells me that he has 150 new positions that need to be filled and he only got 60 or 70 applications for the jobs. why is that? because gov assistance will pay more than he is able to. so we have food banks, gov housing and all the other assistance for people that are in need. so why in the hell do they need additional help from everyone else? i just dont understand how this is happening and why we dont hold people more accountable. homeless people homeless vets and other things while all this money is being tossed around. unreal

again i am not knocking on those that pitch in a little extra money or time to help these people out. i am saying how the fuck is our gov allowing this to be needed?

TweetI hear ya guns and I certainly do not have the answers. It makes "me" feel good to do this so its a bit for myself too

TweetI donate if I have extra cash on me.everytime esp at food lion when they do.the food box.i. don't care who gets the credit as long as it feeds another person
