You're absolutely right about the DM and the sneering about people on benefits. But corporate subsidies, oh no, that's just ensuring that the system works! That's not government support (even though it totally is). But this poor woman and others like her are the cause of all our ills, according to the DM.

The worst thing is that she didn't even tell them she was going. She lied about going to the shop. There's a line between negligent and full on fucked up sociopath behaviour and that, in my opinion, is where she crossed it.

Am I not making sense? I seem to be repeating myself a lot.

Yes, because unemployed single mothers aren't a thing. If you think shit like this can't / doesn't happen in the US you are being willfully blind.

Did you read the bit about the abusive relationship? Why would they want to call him?

"Are there really that many dead British soldiers though?"

Based on having 20 years as an attorney advocate for kids, I'd say it's likely (but not certain) that:

No one should assume anything because we don't know, won't know, and it is not relevant.

"Not many excuses for having 6 kids if you can't handle them. I'm not one to judge.."

It's equally possible that the father was a soldier and was shot dead at some point during the latest pregnancy.

Where is the father(s) of all of these children? There's no indication that they are involved or aware here

Mind you don't pull a muscle, jumping to all those conclusions.

Good. I think when you let a group lend their perspective and shape the feel or round the edges of stories about their lives, you get a more authentic show. You can also make it more compelling and more enjoyable.

It's not a Great Gatsby inspired reception until someone is shot in the pool. I'm just sayin'.

This show is the best. I don't even know what to say other than that.

My takeaway from this is that I am a fancy bitch, because I have a ceramic neti pot and individual flossers.

Oh Abigail, you poor girl, that is just not a good song. It's really, really badly written. Take a note from Taylor Swift, girl, if you're gonna slam someone in a song, keep it more vague and definitely make sure it is impeccably written.

They're like Lucille and Ethel, but with weed, and without those stupid fucking husbands.

I'm glad Snooki finally nabbed her Juicehead Gorilla and I'm glad that Vinny was not in attendance. He ended up being such a fucking dickhead - particularly to Shnickas - and she handled it so well.

Nice try Kendall. Just because you insult yourself doesn't make you immune to the hatred. No sympathy is coming your way.
