Food Distribution

[Merciedez]

In our state of selfishness by this nation’s greed, we’ve created an inability to accept that we have enough food. To sum up my point…..Here is our current state of affairs on food distribution and supply. Let’s take San Francisco of its 800,000ish residents.

800,000 residents – 250,000 homeless & below-poverty residents = + 550,000 housed residents

In those 550,000 we know 100,000 have a great deal of money and the rest have at least enough food to sustain themselves every year. NOTE: All resident homes have food stored, aka not being consumed. Food that are stored or have not been used or eaten is a factor of waste distribution.

NOW, let’s take the fact that we have about 2,000 food distribution buildings (markets, groceries stories, costco, etc) fully stocked and daily supplied by farmers all over the state and country.

NOw, please imagine for a second the food in restaurants. The food being bought in those restaurants are extras/bonuses to those who can afford going there. Now let’s look at the food bought for events like concerts, company/corporate gatherings, sports events, holidays, airline rides, etc. These are extra food supplies not unaccounted by the American public.

If the working class American in SF didn’t buy or eat for two days….the majority of the food supply not in residents in SF would feed the 250,000 homeless-BP residents for nearly 10-15years.

Can you get around the fact we have enough food…..and that we just don’t like to share.

So what? Does that really bother you? Your a pussy.

 

[Merciedez]

[Rob S4]

No wait why dont we send it to the Africans in Africa instead, fucking worthless. Good Post. Perv chill down homie. It bothers me to know people og hungry when I can eat whenever I want.

 

[Tha_Perv]

Oh it bothers you? I actually feel pretty damn good I can eat whenever I want.

Stop feeling guilty for being American. That's what's pussifying our country.

Been Drinkin, is that you?

 

[Joe DiMaggio]

Merciedez, stop posting.

 

[HERESY]

Merciedez, stop posting.

PLEASE take his advice.

 

[Merciedez]

have any of you been in a meeting that discussed one subject for 2-4hours straight which identifies solutions and possible logisical changes to meet those solutions?

Damn there's some real cocksuckers replying to a very good post. Its food for thought and its nice to think about. We do have too much, we do overeat, we do have enough to give to others. And people like Merciedez and RobS4 - if we had more people like that in the country - would be the reason that a change would eventually happen.

Its these motherfuckers that have enough for themselves, and in effect don't give a fuck about anybody else that are the problem. Yeah, we live in America. Yeah, we have a lot of freedoms. But the thing that people don't understand is that most of our freedoms are at the expense of someone else.

Some of you can justify that, some of you can't.

But for people to say "stop posting" when someone puts up a perfectly good, thought provoking thread - you guys should be shot.

The question you should be asking is have any of you actually taken your own money, resources and time to get out and actually feed the homeless or visit the homeless shelter?

When you take action instead of spending 2-4 hours TALKING come back and give me the results.



:hgk:

Stop posting.

What, are you the new Joe DiMaggio? All I'm saying is give everyone the right to say what they want to. I dont agree with half the shit you say, but I dont tell people to stop posting. Don't be such a cocksucker.

The question you should be asking is have any of you actually taken your own money, resources and time to get out and actually feed the homeless or visit the homeless shelter?

Well, people really appreciated when I worked at the food bank and gave food to homeless people. People really liked when I volunteered for free at the psychiatric institute. Or when I helped the retarded kid take all of the attendance sheets in the morning. The bums on the street like that I actually come up and talk to them instead of walking by them with my eyes turned. I give any change I have to people begging for me. I donated 30 dollars to the multiple sclerosis fund this year. I walked for the cure.

I can keep going if you want, you fucking douche bag.

Can you get around the fact we have enough food…..and that we just don’t like to share.

This was the question that was asked. If you want to contribute to the post, go ahead and answer it.

If you just want to clutter the post up with some worthless bullshit, then maybe you should stop posting.

 

[HERESY]

What, are you the new Joe DiMaggio?

No I'm HERESY and HERESY agrees with Joe. Are you captain save'em for defending the thread starter?

All I'm saying is give everyone the right to say what they want to.

That is NOT the american way.

I dont agree with half the shit you say,

Useless info. I wouldn't lose sleep or money if you did or didn't.

but I dont tell people to stop posting.

You should tell yourself to stop posting.

Well, people really appreciated when I worked at the food bank and gave food to homeless people.

Where was this at?

People really liked when I volunteered for free at the psychiatric institute.

SEE THE ABOVE.

Or when I helped the retarded kid take all of the attendance sheets in the morning.

O.k.

The bums on the street like that I actually come up and talk to them instead of walking by them with my eyes turned.

This is a good thing.

I give any change I have to people begging for me.

Have you ever given when you were down and out and had little to your name? It's very easy to give when you have a lot but what about when you have little?

I donated 30 dollars to the multiple sclerosis fund this year.

SEE THE ABOVE. However, this is a noble action.

I walked for the cure.

O.k.

I can keep going if you want,

No thats ok. I want you to stop posting.

you fucking douche bag.

Thats a very innovative and original compliment, thanks!

Actually that wasn't a question....

Thats a question. Everything else the original thread starter posted was useless.

 

[Merciedez]

Since I began posting in here…I am really privileged to read all that everyone have posted. It has been the best social discussions I have seen in any “chat rooms” I’ve been in since I learned of the internet in 1998. I applaud and honor your replies and your thoughts on everything to possibly enter the cerebral cortex.

Yet, I am missing one train of thought. I would like to see the Gathering of the Minds to have threads that really discuss solutions to the issues of our society. Not so much as bitch, whine, or joke around the issues, but sessions to discuss where the flaws are and how to amend the way we treat each other and put action into words.

I enjoy very much what Siccness.net: Gathering of the Minds has provided a forum to communicate many different views, provide information, facts, and express political and social characters to come together and actually read and discuss why we all feel this way and that. But I have also witness the staggering and repetitive discussion of the issues for which some minds of Gathering are now bored and discouraged by what their post might or might not accomplish.

I’m willing to discuss the issues, but only with those who have a need and a responsibility to actually make a change. To begin a structure for which society must go to or go back to in redirecting a better life for society and all the people in general.

Please as much time we bullshit about why our government system suck….we cling to them to still make the changes in our lives [a delay in progress] even though we know corporation have far developed ways in going around government. As such, we must do the same, some how….find their (or better) loopholes and use them for the advantage of human social needs and progression.

In this forum we are the next generation for change. Everyone willing in here are the people I want to move forward in gathering your ideas and actually finding ways to making “it” happen. The intelligence I’ve seen especially in the Gathering of the Minds far exceed many PHD doctors, engineers, government officials, and millionaires I’ve had the privilege of witnessing through corporate and social meetings and settings. Everyone here are far more trusting and more socially communicative in your expression and thoughts to each issues. Although we somewhat hide within our username, our beliefs are definitely and passionately expressive as to the type of people we are in the issues of social change.

Not a single change can happen if we can’t discuss what our roles are in the game.

Thanks so much Stealth and everyone.

Have you ever read any Daniel Quinn? Once you get past the talking Ape/Gorilla, the philosophies in 'Ishmael' and 'My Ishmael' are actually pretty thought provoking... however it does not offer an immediate solution, it adds an interesting perspective to address the mentality which leads to the current situation of our culture...

 

[Merciedez]

^I'll look into that.

Issues of culture can never really changes. People will always have their opinions and traditions. What sometimes we forget is the basic necessities of life that is availble for everyone and not just for a few. As long as we can comprehend the resources in ourselves, our environment, our communities, and in our society is where the fun begin for everyone.

Well, I'm not gonna sit here and pick apart your post just cuz I dont like to read what you have to say. You're entiled to your own wack opinion. But congratulations for taking the time out of your day to quote and reply to everything I said for no other reason than to try to make me look stupid. You did your job and I look like an asshole.

But to answer your questions (although I dont see the relevence)

Loaves and Fishes Food Bank - Export PA
Western Psychiatric Institute and Clinic - Pittsburgh PA
Franklin Regional School District - Pittsburgh PA
And when I give my money to people begging on the streets, I usually dont have much to give. I'm not rich.

But I dunno, if u wanna hate on me for defending someone's right to say something and doing things for other people, I'm not gonna get into this argument. You go ahead and quote everything I say and come up with a witty response, and I'll go ahead and do my thing.

But the question asked was how do you feel about this or do you care? It is a question. Your inability to answer it is not my problem. I'm sorry you look for grammatic technicalities that allow you to evade actually saying a meaningful opinion one way or another. When you say "stop posting", I assume your opinion is contrary to the one stated, but you've done nothing to make me see your side. If you come up with anything logical or thought provoking, I will entertain the idea. You have not.

have any of you been in a meeting that discussed one subject for 2-4hours straight which identifies solutions and possible logisical changes to meet those solutions?

I graduated high school with a 4.0 and college with a 3.7. I was in the student advanced learning program and am a member of Mensa after getting my IQ test taken there. This is in no way to brag, although I'm sure you'll turn it around on me like that. My point is that I do think about these issues and I'm not another mindless drone. You're inability to give people the right to think and speak is NOT the American way until you can prove to me otherwise.

Now, Heresy, PLEASE CONTINUE POSTING if you have something meaningful to say.
