Lazy Jobless

[flip_flop]

Should people who choose not to work be entitled to any benefits?

ETHEL..the streets and parkland of the uk are filthy and i cannot see how using the unemployed to tackle this problem would take away any of the regular council workers jobs and educated unemployed people could be used to run the whole thing not to mention the creation and staffing of creches with/by/for all of those single mothers who use thier kids as an excuse not to work. the possibilities are endless.

Not at all.

I think the culture that has recently developed whereby people want everything for nothing is completely disgusting. What happened to no pain no gain? I am horrified at the sheer laziness and unwillingness of a growing number of people who expect taxpayers to fund their binge drinking and chainsmoking (not that I am against these activities :P - I just believe that if you want to enjoy it, work for it!!)

On the other hand: I am only eighteen and have vowed to always work no matter what, because I was brought up properly. I never wanted to slob around at college or uni like most young people end up doing... so got a full-time job which included training. I will soon be qualified and I am saving for a deposit on a flat so I can move out and be completely independent (now, fingers crossed for a housing market crash so I can find an affordable one!!). I have morals, high self-worth and self-esteem, pride and dignity. These "lazy jobless" are missing out on all the things that make my life well worth living and make me such a content person.
I wonder, who is the real loser here?

I know this must all sound grossly snobbish coming from such a young person but I have such strong views on this subject. Especially as I am not even a British citizen - I have to pay �250 every time I renew my passport for the priveledge of residing in this country to be with my family, can't vote for a new prime minister, and still I pay extortionate amounts in tax to buy some layabout a new flatscreen because he can't be bothered to earn it. But that's a whole different rant ;)
