BAM! My eye catches "Facebook Wisdom... Irony of Foodstamps." To my horror I think - No, no, not this, please don't let it be what I think it is. So I open up the OP and it is exactly what I think it is.

I saw this on FB two days ago, posted by a real life friend, and I just cracked. When I say I cracked, I mean I went ballistic. There were tears slowly rolling down my eyes but the fire that crackled out of my fingers could in no way be stopped. I slammed down that comment bar and growled something like...

"What? WTF is this? I am disabled. I get $70.00 per month foodstamps and somehow this likens me to a wild animal? What is wrong with you? Seriously, WHAT IS YOUR MALFUNCTION? We need to find the horrific monsters who write this garbage and tell them to STFU!"

I logged off FB and haven't been back since. Who knows if I cause a shitstorm or whether anyone even noticed but it's been weighing on my mind. This shit hurts and it's tearing people apart.

Sorry if I bumbled into the wrong area.
