120. You're still incoherent.
You have not yet made the link between thinking food stamps are evil and military expenditure.

In fact, given that you think that designating money to people for anything specific is an evil, then how dare you imply building a house for someone? What if they don't want a house? What if they don't like the design that's being forced on them? What if they don't like the location?

Why do you restrict the free choice of the poor and limit them only to approved items?

Seriously, that's fucked up - food stamps are not evil. They allow people who can't afford food to at least get something to eat. Not much, but something.

By your logic (twisted and incoherent as it is), if a guy comes to me and says "I'm hungry", and I say, "Let me give you some food", then I am doing something evil. The only morally correct response (again, according to you, based on what I can learn from slogging through your writings here) is for me to say "Let me give you money to spend on whatever you want" but I cannot actually give food, nor give a gift certificate to the grocery store, nor do anything at all that might, in some way, imply that the person who has no food has to get food.

Yeah, that's fucked up.
