I am listening to this song and have been wondering every time it comes
on. But what is a food stamp?

I mean is it a type of food? Do you eat them? Is it food you stick on
the front of an envelope and mail?

Ummm...there's a song about food stamps?

Are you talking government assistance for people with low incomes? Those
food stamps?

Or US Dept of Agriculture stamps on meat?

years ago they used food stamps to buy groceries as opposed to using
cash.. cash was pretty scarce back then apparently

it's almost like a type of coupon the welfare agency supplies. People
who are on welfare use the stamps to by groceries and other items that
welfare has on a list. You can only buy cetain things with the stamps
that are approved.

You have GOT to be kidding?

Jean if I knew I would be less confused. It just says these food stamps
does not buy diapers.

"Stamp" is out of date. Most food assistance programs now distribute a
credit card and deposit money into that account for you. May only be
used for groceries.

Who has to be kidding? Me cause I do not know? I am Canadian and we do
not have them here as far as I know.


And WOW that is what they are? Sounds kind of degrading.

Whisper,
Thank the Lord you never needed them.
G.

those are the food stamps issued by the govmnt. for those on welfare or
low income. Only to be used for perishable items. Diapers not
included!!!!

Well thank you for the answer guys.

yeah the EBT card lol can't buy ciggs, booze, and stuff. Gotta be used
for milk, bread and the likes.

Whisper,,,,its ok,,,,,

Its kinda cool to hear that at least one women doesn't know that
term...lol



I have dated many who had to use them in life...
and YOUR lucky,,,NEVER to have BEEN THERE!!!

Whisper, I am sorry for that response. Also it is not degrading,
sometimes people need help.

oh whisper is from canada I think right? They may not have that up
there...?

It's OK thank you for the apology. I mean do not get me wrong I am glad
hat there is something like that out there to help the people that need
it. I don't know it is all just new to me. I have never heard of it till
now. I have a hard time using gift cards...lol.

"All the pain inside amplified by the fact
That I can't get by with my 9 to 5
And I can't provide the right type of life for my family
Cause man, these g****m food stamps don't buy diapers
And it's no movie, there's no Makai Pheiffer, this is my life
And these times are so hard and it's getting even harder
Tryin to feed and water my seed, plus
Teeter-totter caught up between bein a father and a pre-madonna"


loose yourself - Eminem

one of his best songs in my opinion :D

Our country has a habit of enabling people way too much. The food stamp
thing is needed by some but it has been abused by some who are way too
lazy to work or try to be productive. The United States has become a
country of enablers and we give away way to much of tax payers income to
people who hate us and build bombs to kill our citizens and soldiers. It
is time the goverment steps back and lets people who are able get to
work and be productive. This is why our country has so many problems.
Alot of these programs are abused not only here but abroad where we
send billions of dollars to help needy victims of puppet regimes and
corrupt goverments, not alot unlike our own.

my answer is, nobody can tell you what to do... you have to feel it...
trust me, when i lost my virginity, i figured out what needed to be
done... really, everyone has a different experience.... especially their
first time....
