Drug Tests for Welfare Recipients, UGP & Bobo the Hobo Tag Team, Hilarity Ensues

[SSG Snuggle Bunny]

I fail to see why they cant understand the concept of the more you give to someone the less they will tend to work.

What makes you think they don't understand that?

UGP and Bobo the Hobo are both proof that you can be fed, clothed, housed and heavily medicated on other people's labor. They know this. They may not admit it because nobody on DU has the stones unless they want the granite.

I'd love to tell both of them both they are the reason the 13th Amendment should be repealed and then I'd like to see them beaten and sold at public auction with the proceeds going to pay down the national debt their worthlessness helped incur.

You want to see true impotent rage ensue over at Skinner's Island of Misfit Mouth-Breathers?

In addition to drug testing for welfare recipients, I'm also in favor of a variation of a mod to welfare law that Beck has been suggesting.  He thinks that if you want welfare benefits, you should have to show your high school diploma.  I would expand that slightly, requiring a high school diploma, or a DD-214 in lieu of the diploma in order to 'pass go' and collect welfare bennies.

But then I'm also one of those mean bastards who would be in favor of 'Service guarantees citizenship' as an operating principle for the Republic.

Suggest this, and heads would surely be assplodin' over there.

Shouldn't people that vehemently believe in Darwinism let it continue? 

Or could it just be that most of the DUchebags are drug addled leaches on society?

I vote for the latter.

I can't believe you even asked that question! We all know what the answer is.

I gotta agree with ya. Why even bother to ask the question?

119. In tribal societies, the tribe takes care of all of its members. That's what we've lost
  
But overall, you're right, mostly, humans (like other chimps) are a loutish, aggressive species that ordinarily drives away or kills the weak and the sick, commits genocide, wages war, rapes, murders, and cannibalizes.

The difference is we don't HAVE to be.

You need to study your tribal societies a bit more. While they "took care" of everyone those YOU would consider most in need were taken care of last. It was a practical survival mechanism for the tribe. When doling out foods the weak, elderly, and sick were fed LAST. Because they were most expendable. Sick and elderly were often left behind to die alone because they were a burden, dead weight. Life was so hard that women were often unable to get pregnant more than once. That's why kidnapping babies and young children was acceptable.

I heard Neal Boortz propose this one:

Only property holders and taxpayers get to vote....

It would keep leaches like DUmmies from voting for a "pay raise" out of the national treasury....

[The Village Idiot]

Only property holders and taxpayers get to vote....

Plus how about anyone recieving government funds for any reason not being allowed to vote?

Which is no doubt why most of the first drafts of the Constitution imposed some sort of property ownership as a condition to being able to vote.  There were many good reasons advanced back then for why that was in inequitable condition to impose, and I still think that on balance those arguments win, but the primitives certainly do their best to flip the balance in the other direction, in favor of such a precondition.

Personally, I think voters should have to pass some sort of basic political knowledge test to vote.  If you don't know enough about our government to know that we have three branches, then why should we let you make any decisions about the government?

I have one problem with that. Due to military service hubby and I do not own property and do not plan to till retirement. Eases the burden on us having to sell every few years to move to a new duty station.

I think both of our ideas would exclude the military.

Just wanted to clear that one up! LOL

[Oceander]

Military service ought to be the sine qua non of someone who is entitled to vote - anyone who willingly puts their life on the line for the country (even if never actually placed in the line of danger) is someone who, generally speaking, has a sufficient investment in the well-being of this country that they can be trusted to act in good faith when deciding how to vote.

And I say this as a formerly pansy-assed college lib in the mold of PJ O'Rourke who came to his senses too late to be able to serve.

I had to get a drug test to get my paycheck ... I see no difference.

i totally forgot about this one, i gotta say it was one of the easiest balls to hit out of the park what with the link being provided for me...

I keep trying to explain that I'm just really cold.

Just tell them that for a bunny you are hung like J. Holmes.

It's relative, Bugs.
