1 in 6 Americans are hungry!

[Getback]

Not for the 1 in 6 it seems.

Exactly!

The horror.......the horror...........

Well, if you weigh 160 pounds and are muscular, it's not the same as weiging 160 pounds and having a waist the size of a truck tyre.

while i'm not in the best shape int he world, suffice it to say that if i were given one free shot at most people.....they'd wake up tomorrow. 

 which is good, as i suck at fighting......so one shot is all i generally get. 

[CAP1]

How many of you who are beating up Getback for this thread go out and donate time to help the poor/homeless?  It would seem many of you are doing it giving all the negative reactions I am seeing.  I would rather read about what you are doing to help those less fortunate folks, than read about how mortified you are you cannot see something from another perspective.

For all those good folk who are pitching in time and energy to help out, a big <S>.  Good for you for doing it.

I am so happy to see so many of the community pitching in and helping people who are having a rough go of it.

within civil air patrol, we often do.

Getback, it's good to see that you're committed to getting in shape.  Best wishes sir, and keep at it!

I love dead baby jokes!

Whats worse than a dead baby?
A pile of dead babies.
What's worse than that?
A live one in the middle trying to eat its way out.

ba-domp tshh!

[Tupac]

How many dead babies can you fit in the trunk of a car? 23.

What's worse than 7 dead babies nailed to a tree? One dead baby nailed to seven trees.

[phatzo]

whats red and white and screams a lot?
A peeled baby rolled in salt.

I'm not a Liberal, but let me pretend to be one for a minute:

Let's see, If 1 in 6 are hungry, and there are roughly 3 mil in the US, then there are roughly 1/2 million hungry people in the US. The US shells out roughly $45 Billion (with a "B") in foreign aid to countries that mostly hate us.  That's roughly $9K for every hungry person in the US.  $9K is roughly my family's food budget for 18 months.  So, how could we solve this problem?

Q: How do you squeeze 100 hungry Americans into a phone booth?
A: Throw in a can of beans.

Q: How do you get them back out again?
A: Run past with a can opener.

Moronic jokes aside...

I dont help Americans except through my own church where I can see the money actually goes to helping to feed people. Too many of these organizations (like the one advertising on that billboard spend more money on themselves internally than ever go to the poor or starving. America also has a ton of infrastructure already designed to help with this problem and the churches are usually the best way to find them. Also if you live in America you are already FAR better off than people in the majority of other nations. Money literally drips off of the trees here and yet people complain they are too poor to eat. Our standard is so high the poor often own tvs cell phones cars and microwaves (not to mention game systems). BTW... Ted Turner started amassing wealth through a billboard business his father left him.

Your money will go MUCH further feeding families in foreign nations and setting up a reliable method of delivering help to people that really need it is simple and much more efficient than any American institution ever designed.
