Ask not what your country can do for you . . .

Do you remember a time when it was a man's goal to provide for their family, a badge of honour almost ?.
Do you remember a time when the welfare system was only there for the sick or infirm ?.
Do you remember a time when a father would take any job, no matter how menial, too put food on the table ?.

Listening to scroungers all day with an overblown sense of entitlement, experts on how to play the system.
If a 10th of that cunning & guile was applied in the workplace a company would be the better for it.
"I'm sorry you had to turn down the 3 bed we offered you sir, you only listed 4 children when you filled out the form, I'll update our records immediately."

If you opt for the slower lane in life don't get in my way, don't expect the same lifestyle & services, but most of all, don't think you're entitled to any of it.

I'd thank my own post if I could, now excuse me, I've something to do for my country.

Well, they will only get in your way if you too are in the slow lane.

Did you just spend a whole post bitching about yourself?

Do you remember a time when people could spell?
Do you remember a time when people knew that a full stop wasn't necessary after a question mark?
Do you remember a time when there wasn't a space between a sentence and the punctuation?

With regard to your post, maybe you forget that the times you mention were not good times and it was a struggle for most? People didn't like living like that...

A - just exactly how old are you if you can remember the workhouses.

B- which US site did you cut/paste from ?

Anyone know of any threads on Boards where the so-called scroungers are taking the piss out of those more fortunate? Seems to be all one way traffic to me.

Having the cheek to be able to afford to be online when not working and showing off that ability is enough to take the piss out of those who are sensitive enough.

Seriously? Give it a rest. You want to know why everyone's on the dole? WE'RE IN THE MIDDLE OF A CATASTROPHIC RECESSION. There's no building industry worth speaking of anymore, companies are trying to shed staff rather than hire them, banks are terrified of lending money to any companies aggressive enough to want to borrow, government spending is falling off a cliff, and nobody is certain that the currency we use will exist in three months' time, much less as far as the end of the year...and you're sure the problem is with the people on welfare.

Also: I don't know if it was deliberate, but two of your three rhetorical questions are disgustingly sexist.
