LOL Keld, I should have known that...guess my blood was just boiling. Irismi, I too have a 28 yo son and a 23 yo dtg. Both are happy, healthy, responsible adults who take care of themselves without any gov assistance and so do their friends. Thank God these people on this show do not represent our future. Course at this pace, they will be 40 and whining about all the problems they have which will be because they spent their youth wasted and leaching. Your so right....why do they have to go to the lowest of the low to get contestants for these shows....I guess normal people would just be too boring. Maybe I need to quit griping and stop supporting these kind of choices by no longer being a viewer. It defenitely appears things are just getting worse...not one sign of improvement have I seen.

Irismi--sounds like you have done a wonderful job raising your son. Maybe someday there will be a big brother for nice people, but probably not in our lifetime.

"How are you supporting James?" Who do you think the gov is??? It is you, me, everyone who works regularly and pays into the system on a regular basis. We the People...that is who supports James and those like him. The govnment is not some magical entity...it is the people. And leaches who could otherwise take care of themselves, are sucking it dry and taking from those who truly need it.

Bo, I don't mind watching because it reminds me of how lucky I am not to half a son, who wants to glorify himself by going on tv and acting like a numbskull. Why I do think the house affects them to some extent, wasn't it Ryan and Jen who had 'relations' in the bathroom the first week. I think so. And if I was Matt's mom...Wow!!! is all I can say. He is so dismissive of women that it is painful to watch at times. Thanks BB, I know i am blessed when I watch the antics of the BB house. ANd yes, in previous seasons I actually liked many of the Hg's, BB9...not so much.

James is being supporting by the 50% of taxes taken out of Working families paychecks.

Kale, James said his mom would not take any help...so James did not grow up in the system.... He chose it.

Is James getting aid now? No so your not supporting him. And the small amount of food stamps he could get is nothing but pennies out of your pocket. I have a problem with people who refuse to get off aid but not with those who use it at times when needed. Guess I just don't mind spending a little to see someone eats or has a roof over there head. I don't see James as being a continuous welfare drain. Maybe everyone complaining about him should root him on for the win since that way everything you've spent on him he will be paying back in excess.

I thought he had said before his mother spent time in jail, and since he had to learn it somewhere i wrongly jumped to a stereotypical conclusion. My bad.

Kale, I really do have to run but I don't mind sharing what I make and I do so freely by supporting organizations that help others...but please There isn't a person alive who doesn't know someone who cheated the welfare system and that is what makes everyone a little bit nuts. Noone, including me, minds helping others. Its the able-bodied I have an issue with. ANd Welfare cheats share info with others or else...no one would be cheating. Just my two cents worth of course.

It is a sad state of affairs in this nation when these young HG are talking to Matt and telling him how to get food stamps and welfare and know how to do it from experience. In the early 70's I was a single mom at 21 and my job gave absolutely no benefits. I had an emergency appendectomy, was out of work for six weeks and still did not get any welfare benefits or food stamps etc. It took me years of paying off the doctor/hospitals bill, sometimes only being able to pay $5.00 a week but I still did it. Geesh these are young, healthy in their 20's guys and they have to resort to welfare/food stamps and are bragging about it!!!!!!!!!!!I TO WAS A 19 YEAR OLD SINGLE MOM IN THE 60S I DIDNT EVEN KNOW I COULD GET HELP MY PARENTS HELP ME I WORKED PAID THEM WHAT I COULD MY MOM WATCHED MY SON TILL HE WAS 5 AND I REMARRIED

And my husband spent 9 years in the Navy getting paid far to little for risking far too much, so when we needed help a few years ago I felt no guilt in asking for it. I felt we had more than Earned it.

Klaw...not yet, but the plasma screen did say Nominations Today, so it will happen...probably around five o'clock, like always. They may not be having a food comp this week. No word on it yet. There have been weeks in the past when there wasn't one. They've been restocked and have lots of food right now.

kalekona... I agree you deserved it... James said he would probably blow his winnings on drugs, so he won't be spending his back on the little old taxpayers

Bee "There have been weeks in the past when there wasn't one. They've been restocked and have lots of food right now." By they way they have all been eating nonstop today, tomorrow they will be out of food. LOL

Off topic a little but still pertaining of LF: Is anyone else so sick of the high pitched piercing noise they are getting intermittedly on the feeds (or am I the only one getting it). It really pierces my eardrums, especially when I have the sound turned up to hear what they are saying.
