Creating a society where people can just sit on their asses and live off the dole--no matter whether it be in this country or where I come from in the North of Ireland, is unacceptable. If you are not sick or totally disabled, you should work. But then the work that you do should be able to make your subsistence--something that doesna happen. Basically I am a socialist, but I dun believe in free rides. You mention children not being punished, and this is true, but letting them live with teenagers who leech off the state and sit home and party and get pregnant over and over amounts to child abuse too. When people dun work for their money, they have too much time on their hands to cause trouble, and they dun appreciate what they have. If my ghetto neighbours had to get their butts up at 5 like I do and go work all day, then they might not stay up all night wreaking havoc. If they had to pay their own rent and bills rather than get Section 8, they might not have so much disposable 'income' to buy alcohol, cigarettes and drugs. Grrr...now you have got me started. I could go on forever... I totally agree with you.

Although I'd rather have my education and my self-worth be one of those scum, even if it meant a free ride. I've thought it over and again and again in my head about what should be done about those types of people and I really don't know. The problem is many of them have children and you can't punish the children by withholding welfare from their fuck-up parents. So I don't know.
