21 US cities restrict sharing food with homeless people

[KissMy]

I didn't realize that Houston and Salt Lake City were liberal towns.

Houston has a Lesbian Mayor, VERY conservative.

Republicans, the church & the Pope are all openly embracing gays now. You need to crawl up out of your mothers basement once in a while, go to church & talk with the parishioners on the steps afterwards.

Houston is democrat

Yes it is, my mistake. However, there is nothing showing these restrictions are inspired by liberals.

I am not responsible for your ignorance.

Just the simple fact that there are at least four stalwart liberal cities on that chart with restrictions currently in place should make any American question the meaning of contemporary liberalism.

Well, any smart American, that is.

You're not among our ranks.

This hardly looks like a liberal effort.

Really? Because the vast majority of those places are controlled by Democrats with many of those cities having no representation from any other party at all.

Why are the hungriest states so red?

That's actually answered rather easily. Most of them are home to larger populations of minorities and illegal immigrants who are generally at the lower end of the economic scale.

Ignorance and Dont Taz Me Bro in the same sentence is an oxymoron. If you read my comments again you'll notice I said most, not all.

Again, I said most, not all. West Virginia has been a poor state for a long time due to economic issues and it isn't a "red" state. It's swing to Republicans in presidential races just began in 2000 and the Democrats still control the state government and have since the Great Depression.

I hear if you sell muffin tops and try to give the stumps to the homeless that they will complain

 

[Dan Daly]

Decades ago, when I was just a young new NCO assigned to mess duty, I almost faced courts-martial because I had the gall to take the food we were going to throw out and attempt to feed the homeless folks camped out in town. Nanny statism is not new, nor is it confined to a single political party.

 

[aaronleland]

It's cool. I only give them booze and cigarettes anyways.

What does the phrase "sharing food" actually mean?

 

[rightwinger]

So I want to feed the homeless...

I go to the dollar store and buy one year expired peanut butter. I scrape the green stuff off the top
I get some moldy bread and scrape the mold off

I make sandwiches in my greasy kitchen and brush away the rat droppings on the counter

Who cares? They are homeless
They should be grateful for any food they receive

Uh...as I found out many moons ago, one being homeless does not necessarily mean they are starving.

Most my ass! How about Oklahoma City. Why don't you tell us how liberal they are.

smh...

The phrase "sharing food" sounds more like political double-speak rather than a legal statute. As a matter of fact obesity in the so-called poverty class is more of a public health problem than starvation. It wasn't always the case though. People in the South starved when an alcoholic Union general ordered his troops to rape and pillage and steal from innocent civilians. People starved when a demented crippled president who was probably the victim of one too many strokes turned a recession into a man-killing, soup line, bodies in ditches depression. Today there are so many state and local safeguards that nobody starves unless they are completely depraved or they choose to do so.
