    A very normal thing to do, stamping a poverty mark on children whose parents can't afford to pay "lunch debt."
    Very normal and good in a state that exists in a very normal and good country doing normal and good things right now.

    'I need lunch money,' Alabama school stamps on child's arm

    You ever get so angry so quickly that you can taste this metal tang in your mouth, and you know it's because your blood pressure jumped to 300 in about two heartbeats? Yeah. Anyone who supports treating kids this way, or anyone, really, deserves to be beaten over the head with a sack of doorknobs.

    Petty cruelty is the new goodness.
    Has been since 2015.
    Yay, Trump.

    Indeed. I mean, it's always been embedded in the system, and there have always been people who gladly shout "are there no prisons? No poorhouses?" but the past 10 years or so, especially after Trump gained office, it has just been a veritable cascade of cruelty, assholes emboldened to be their very worst selves, willing to destroy the world to achieve some twisted Evangelical vision of a world where anyone who isn't white, straight, male, and wealthy are crushed underfoot. They have no compunctions in killing any of us, young and old, to get what they want. We should have no compunctions in doing whatever must be done to fight back.

    I'm assuming you two morally superior beings immediately started donating your income to the school lunch fund.

    Property tax not income but I am proud to live in a civilized place where not only is breakfast and lunch provided TO CHILDREN during the school year but during summer take home lunch boxes are provided TO CHILDREN as well.

    Next time the levy comes back up I give you my word that I will work to expand it and increase my property taxes so that during the school year take home dinner boxes are available to any CHILD who needs it and also expand summer take home boxes.

    No CHILD in one of the richest cities in the richest country in the world should be hungry. Period. End of story.

    I’ll preempt you and tell you to go fuckyerself for believing CHILDREN should be punished by hunger because of their parents’ financial situation.

    I am pretty sure poor starving children are a feature and not a bug on UA's libertarian island paradise. If I had to guess I am pretty sure when @Jenee isn't pegging him for fun he makes her roleplay a starving child he saves by cumming all over them.

    Every once in a while I make the mistake of clicking the Show Ignored Content link and then am immediately reminded of the wisdom of my initial decision.

    Malnutrition (as well as lead poisoning) made UA the man he is today.

    Yeah, if we're going to require children go to school the least that we can do is feed them.

    School lunch and breakfast shouldn't cost them anything.

    No no, you've got this all wrong. Kids should pay for the privilege of getting the education they're required to. Books, tuition, and food. And they'll like it or learn to pull themselves up by their bootstraps :dayton:

    I would actually prefer parents not dump their problems on society, but don't let me interrupt you huffing your own farts.

    If you scrubbed South Park and hate-Youtube out of UA's memory, there wouldn't be much left.
    He probably wouldn't be able to speak English or tie his shoes.
    Or hold his spit in.
    Books? What are those? Yuck, get them away!
    Even Tuckerfan posts are too long!

    Oh no! People don't get to get out of taking responsibility for themselves just because they're children. They want to eat, they can get jobs like the rest of us.

    Or how about this? If a child wants to eat and go to school and not work like a useless lazy person, I'll pay for their meals until they graduate, and then they come work for me to pay the debt. Twenty years ought to be enough. Of course, any expenses incurred while under the employment contract will be added to the debt and extend the duration of the contract. This is a good idea and how come no one's ever done it before?

    You actually have a point for once. Republicans - and their wster-carriers like yourself - have been this fucking inhumane for decades. Trump just wrote the braille version.

    I don't cheerlead for the Democrats, but at least there are genuinely good Democrats fighting to feed kids, protect the vulnerable, and make real change in this country for all of us. There was already racism, bigotry, and negligent ignorance before Trump, but the fact of the matter is that Donald Trump opened the floodgates for where we are now, and the Republican party went right with him.

    The fundamentalist religious right canonized the man and his vulgarity, his greed, hate, and his ignorance was everything these people wanted to use as a cover for themselves and their actions. Suddenly, coming out and saying that kids should go hungry if their parents couldn't afford food was just seen as folksy wisdom rather than the evil horseshit it is.

    So the reason people bring up Trump is because the impetus for the downhill dog fuck we're in right now started with him and his enablers.

    Oh look it's the guy who benefited his entire life from tax money from others, and once he got old enough to vote decided to cut off subsequent generations from the benefits he received (and then proceeded to squander over decades).
