Would you starve before stealing?

Asked by jrpowell (40562points) November 13th, 2012

Lets say your only means of getting food was food stamps and the government magically took them away. Would you sit outside the 7/11 and wait to die or go inside and grab some bread and run? Lets take it even further. Would you beat the shit out of someone for a few bucks if it meant you could get something to eat?

Personally, I would kill your kids for their lunch money before I would starve.

And for all of those people that are thinking that charity will fill the gap I can say with 90% certainty that it won’t. I say that as someone who has hit up food-pantries on more than one occasion. And if charity would fix the problem they never would have made department of HHS.
