I remember when I mentioned buying healthy, non-junk food with foodstamps in the fitness thread and a bunch of people got really mad that I was using foodstamps and told me to get a better job. Then I said I'd debate them on the value of food stamps to society in PM, as to not shit up the thread, and not a single person PM'ed me to talk about it in private. Strong people like to give their egos a workout too, including me sometimes. But I think ego and empathy are mutually exclusive a large portion of the time.
If my memory serves correctly you were happy that you were now able to buy expensive meat now that you got on food stamps. For someone who doesn't get govt assistance and can't afford expensive meat it doesn't sit well. I'm not PMing you because I really don't care that much. I'm guessing that's the reason you didn't receive any PMs.
