"To recommend thrift to the poor is both grotesque and insulting. It is like advising a man who is starving to eat less"

Oscar Wilde
"To imply that single mothers were not mentally or emotionally damaged by their own upbringings and therefore were not in their right psychiatric states of mind, thereby making poor pregnancy decisions, is pure evil fascism."

The last man one would take parental or financial advice from. Do you know nothing of Oscar Wilde? One of those great men who chose to have kids without fully thinking it through and couldn't save a penny despite earning more than most.
Quick with an epigram, short with personal responsibility.
No, it doesn't show anything about my humanity. My point being that in some ways my own father was akin to Wilde minus the beer belly and thesaurus. Poverty was chosen in both cases. A common story just on a less dramatic scale in our case.
Even post prison Wilde had money mainly through the charity of friends, but spent it as fast as he could find it. He chose and wouldn't change.
So free meals is multi generational in your household. Would never have guessed.
I have been honest by saying poor decisions led to free school meals. I am only here because you couldn't help mentioning me following a post in which Primo made valid observations too. I got off of them by getting my first job at 14 and using the money to escape the shame. A good feeling to use your own money to buy your own food. Even kids can do it, so for these adults to fail so badly. And your family too and the great Professor and the cult? Crikey.
You both always paid? Lovely. A good thing I believe everything you say.
My cat will never go hungry. The chubby little minx. One knows where to draw the line.
You are not honest though are you. On here certainly not, maybe in life you are sometimes, but very rarely here. Look at you know feigning responsibility whilst posting as an alt you have been using to log onto the forum after telling everyone you were self banning yourself. You are quite the liar it seems, and more like your hero Wilde than you care to admit with your deceptions.
You are lying when you suggest that poor decisions lead to free school meals as though anyone embarking on a relationship or starting a job must be psychic and know exactly what the future holds. You are basically a child who seems to think that looking after a cat is the same thing as raising a family. We paid for our kids school meals because i have always been lucky enough to work and so we could afford to. I don't think that makes me automatically more responsible than people who through no fault of their own have availed themselves of the free school meals voucher system.
You seemed to be obsessed with invalidating me as a person. One minute helping to feed refugees makes me a traitor and a SJW and the next actually you don't even give a shit about British people in need and me being like 99% of most other people being concerned, makes me some kind of self righteous gullible fool.
You don't seem to believe in anything but yourself and you clearly can't even do that.
Listen to yourself. There is no shame in getting free school meals.
