You don't just let a child find out about stuff like impoverishment or income inequality on their own, that's very irresponsible. Let me clarify my POV by saying I'm not justifying what's happening. I don't think it's right to deny a child a few dollars worth of ice cream, but this is what's going to happen and there's literally nothing the parents or the child can do about it. It's right to teach them about stuff like this and many more challenges they might potentially face before it happens so they can be mentally, physically and emotionally prepared for these inevitable realities. --- Allergic to bull****. <cite>faizan_faizan posted [p:976335963] in Sorry poor...

We can have joy and fun while acknowledging the world isn't exactly a fairy tale, it's much more cruel and hostile than we're led to believe and it's always been this way. You owe it to your children to tell them what kind of world you've brought them into. You sound like you would like Ayn Rands beliefs. --- --I understand your opinion.

Questionmarktarius 09/27/23 1:36:12 PM #87:	andel posted... this, along with not being able to buy one with a negative balance. that seems purely vindictive with no actual purpose other than being a shitheel It's almost certainly the way the payment systems are set up, likely in some misguided attempt to end "free lunch stigma" or lunch-money bullies or something. No cash transactions - everything goes through a pre-paid system. Negative balances can't use the a la carte line. Kids are only allowed one ice cream. How the hell could a kid buy another kid an ice cream? "Nah, I don't really want it. You can have it Jimmy" is one possibility, but then schools are also super hard-ass about trading, because peanuts. <cite>Questionmarktarius posted [p:976337391] in Sorry poor...

Voidgolem 09/27/23 4:04:39 PM #90:	Things like this are why we can never have anything good. Is it really that hard to just go "ice cream for everybody!" Without attaching some weird overhead to it that irrevocably stains the whole event? There's nobody that benefits from this aside from whoever's collecting "lunch debt" causing a PR disaster over an insultingly small amount of money --- Variable General Veeg, at your service <cite>Voidgolem posted [p:976340265] in Sorry poor...

Otherwise it's all a big charade in order to temporarily make them feel better which consequently can actually mess with kids emotionally. We should teach them early that prayers or hopes don't actually work. You didn't bring them into a whimsical fantasy world, it's unfair to the kids that we lie about this. The inevitable realities of life should never be sugarcoated from children, no matter what. I really hope you are joking. And I fear you are not, because there are many people who take this idea saying we need to teach kids that life sucks as soon as possible. And no no we don't. If all goes well they would have 70 + years to deal with the harsh ness of life. let them have fun as much as possible . --- "Big Sweaty Otis" -Titus O'Neil <cite>cjsdowg posted [p:976344028] in Sorry poor...
