I get screwed by the government when I go to the grocery store, and more times than not an African-American woman is in front of me with 2 carts loaded down with food, pulls out foods stamps from her wad of money and then loads her free groceries into her Escalade. That's how I feel screwed.

i'd do whatever it takes to save my friends.  In my eyes, the government laws are a bunch of crap.  i live by my own moral laws, which differ from the government.

I think that this government is really nosy. I agree, we have problems. Huge problems. We are in billions of dollars in debt, they're cutting fundings were we need it the most. Its not fair in this system of things.

i'm with you man, plus they do pay taxes when they buy stuff. \nin my opinion it's just wrong to tell people they have to stay in a situation that they themslves feel is hurting them. you can't help where you are born, but you can do what ever it takes to improve your own life, and the lives of those you love. i think people don't ever try and put themselves in their shoes, to imagine what it would be like to be a poor sugar cane farmer looking for a better life, and being denied a any legal chance to change things.  of coarse we have to have rules and procedure, but we should be more leanient and compassionate to the situations of all the worlds people.

Personally, I think the government has no such right.  If you want to be a moron and put your life in peril, that should be your business.  HOWEVER, there should be caveats attached to that.  For instance, I believe that if you don't wear a seat belt and you have no medical insurance, that the governemnt should let you die.  You took your life into your hands.  The governmnet shouldn't fix your mistake if you were so abysmally stupid.\n\nThat having been said, the reason the governement places these restrictions is not because of some sort of genuine concern for your well being.  As with many things, it boils down to money.  A severely crippled person is often a drain on public resources.  If you remain healthy, the odds are greater that you will be a productive member of society and, more importantly, generate tax revenue.  If you get into a car accident without a seat belt, not only will you probably stop paying taxes, you will also probably start sucking up public resources.

The worst thing people can do is expect the government to take care of them.  As seen in Katrina they will let you down.  People need to take repsonisiblity for themselves.

Yes a lot of people are helpless and would need to work until they cannot move, and it's pathetic.  The world is unfair, let's face it.  The only thing which might make you feel better is you're already better than millions of people living in Africa and other 3rd world countries where people are starving.  So don't worry too much, there are enough good people in this Country to help those in need.

I do not agree with what our government is doing, but I believe that has a lot to do with the Bush administration. I've never been so disapointed int my own country before. Honestly, I am scared of our well being because of what they are doing.

We are being forced by the administration to be in debt because that's who we voted for. That's who I voted for anyway, I did not expect the government to grow like this under our current president. I must say I am disappointed.

Most people have an entitlement attitude: something happened that affects ME, so I deserve to be compensated. I think that's total shite, and so is the death penalty.

I agree! It seems as though things in our government have gotten out of hand. I don't know if it would take a good president or the united states keeping our noses to ourselves. Its like we are trying to fix the world and we can't even fix ourselves. I'm glad that I'm not the only one who thinks our America is in need of dire help. Good job for speaking out.

It is not only cruel it is down right ludicrous.  Government playing God with people's lives makes me feel ill.
