Food stamp cuts hit 9 million elderly and disabled people

"respectable" women don't need food stamps, per conservative logic

[Clipper Nation]

I see...

You call all respectable women, a ...

No wonder you can't get any.

This thread took a turn for the better

[Th'Pusher]

Yes, today. This was over 40 years ago, and the paper ones were around back then.

As I stated upstream, I fully support the welfare system that allowed your mother to provide for you in her time of need. Some in this thread would have preferred you starved to death.

[FuzzyLumpkins]

You're the Richard Jefferson of this forum.

Then you can be the Keith Bogans and still look like a sophist fool. Congratulations.

and you should be pleased. you have dip here as your circle jerk. Congratulations twice over.

[FuzzyLumpkins]

the moral of the story here is that WC should have been starved and his mother treated like a degenerative low life because she couldn't even afford to feed her own kid. She should have been force sterilized before she went out and d some more. Get right to the root of the problem and euthanize babyWC.

If Cobra is a byproduct of foodstamps, I can see where vy65 might have a point, tbh...

This is kinda true

If no food stamps means Welfare Cobra would have starved to death as a child, I'm all for ending the program

I have more than a dozen times now explained the differences between using the social systems as a safety net vs. a hammock. I'll bet others agree if you asses would ask for elaboration instead of resorting to adolescent behavior.

"as a safety net vs. a hammock"

Most people on public assistance don't stay there forever. With the piddling subsistence sums they receive, it ain't no life in a hammock. That's just you right-wingers sliming ALL people on public assistance as criminals, frauds, moochers.

This might be the dumbest I've ever heard.

For one, you clearly didn't think through the practicality of what you wrote. Literally everyone who sees a starving homeless man and does nothing would be guilty of homicide. Millions of innocent people would become criminals. No court would ever accept that construction. And if your construction is correct, please provide a case where a court threw someone in jail for failure to hand over a sandwich.

For two, this construction probably is a due process violation.

For three, there is no civil/tort duty to save others. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Duty_to_rescue. That wiki cites warren v. Do where the court held that police officers are not under a duty to rescue citizens not in their custody. If the police are not under a duty to rescue, please explain how a private citizen has a legal duty to give a sandwich. And also explain how there can be a criminal duty to rescue where the lower, civil duty does not exist.

For four, how do you show causation in these cases? How would you show that my (specific to me, as opposed to someone else) failure to act caused death? What would you have to provide to make this showing beyond a reasonable doubt?

As I said, I am not a lawyer. I can read and generally understand the law. I will make no specific claims to be an expert in criminal laws.

I will be happy to withdraw all of it, as baseless speculation, other than to say there might be a case made in some cir stances, to my limited understanding. Certainly people have been charged with child neglect felonies for allowing children to starve to death.

Noted. Thanks for agreeing that what I've said is not equivilent to murder.

Those cir stances are different because a special relationship arises. The cases you've identified involve the parent-child relationship, and there are thousands of child neglect cases. That's not what we're talking about here because I have no special relationship (in the legal sense) with starving strangers.
