re: #4 Obdicut

I know lots of people out of work.

I don’t know a single person who has waited until their benefits were about to run out to look for a job.

So, no, Mr. Delay, I have no clue what you’re talking about. I do know a lot of people who have never stopped looking for work and are going to be literally homeless if their unemployment runs out, though.

Well in my experience I think I’ve known perhaps one or two people that somewhat fit that description. Morons and idiots. However if I based my opinion on those one or two morons and idiots I’d be discounting the multitudes of other people I’ve known that aren’t like that, including myself. I’d be discounting the reality of the absolutely majority Regardless of any system whether it’s a social service or private system that gets put in place there are always going to be a small percentage of people who are morons and/or take advantage of whatever it is.

Welcome to life in human society. I fully support the notion of doing things that help cut down on the ability of morons and those that take advantage to act that way but I live in the real world and understand that nothing is going to completely make that sort of thing disappear completely. Some people are just going to suck no matter what you do and I’d rather focus on making sure that that systems are in place for the majority of people that don’t suck.
