Some people just don't have the desire to make something of themselves. Others just don't have the ability to-they're the ones that should be helped. The spongers need a rocket inserted somewhere intimate.

I personally don't mind my taxes going on benefits to help others. If there are a few people who decide that that is the best way for them, it's not to my detriment. And having a baby is a full-time job anyway.

If they are happy with and can live on the amount of money they get in benefits then fair play to them. Entrepreneurship!

pasty said:Got it in one Bwian. I know someone who actually got pregnant on purpose because she knew she would end up being housed and given plenty of benefits. That was her sole reason for it - she even admitted the fact. It's far too bloody easy.
They have enough brains to realise that they can get x amount of money each year and do f*** all for it.caz99 said:ehhh? entrepreneurship?? dont you usually have to have brains for that?
Totally agree. If someone wants to spend their entire life just lounging around and getting by on a bit of my cash (relayed to them by the State) - so what? As you say people have different aspirations.Meade's_Ball said:Why should everyone have the same desires?
If someone doesn't want to do a shit job like i do, then fair play to them. I don't see that i have made something of myself because i pay tax.
Bwian said:It's surely the responsibilty of both parents to pay for the upbringing of their kid(s)? I have no problem with benefits going to the needy and deserving-I do object to paying a lifetime of taxes to help lazy bastards milk the system for all it's worth without putting anything back in-and they're usually the ones who moan like f*** about not getting enough to live on. Sadly, it is a lot more than 'a few'.

That is not me trying to be ironic BTW, I couldn't do it myself but if your idea of a good life is watching daytime TV and eating Pot Noodle - be my guest.

Surely the answer here is to educate our children better and to provide better options for young women.

caz99 said:sorry i dont agree. most people have to work thats life. the benefits system was set up to help the disadvantaged not the ones who 'cant be bothered'. for disabled people, sick people, poor people, homeless people. not tax dodging spongers
why should i go to work and pay for other people who choose to do bugger all?? just cos they cant be bothered. and its certainly not a bit of my cash or a bit of my dads cash as he gets taxed higher rate. so because he works his arse off and gets decent wage half of his wages should go on supporting people who cant be bothered to get off their arses and get a job? in that case why did i bother going to school and going through the system that most people have to go through, go to work like most people have to.
its a pretty crap excuse poor education if you ask me.
