This was a nice unpleasant suprise. I didn't post this thing about the N word. Hmmm I wonder, just maybe this site isn't secure.

you cannot receive food stamps if you are going to school. so basically the state of florida is not willing to help those of us who are willing to go and better ourselves. They will help out people who have 5 kids, a crappy job, no education. so if you want to better yourself, the government wont help, but if you want to be a lazy slob and a cancer to society, then the government will give you whatever you want.
