Such people do not have dignity - if they bothered to get up and do something rather than being total parasites then they would. Note that I am not against people who have a legit reason for not being able to work, just those who are too lazy.

It's funny how the "parasites" who are so "lazy" that people get so wound up about are invariably people on the dole. What about the lazy parasites who, for example, live off inherited share dividends? And, by the way, who generally get rather more than �50 a week out of it.

Also, there is an assumption that people on the dole are doing nothing. Which is very often wrong. And so the question does need to be asked: why is it better for society for people to be (eg) flipping burgers than (eg) helping out at their local Oxfam, or bringing up their kids, or...

As for Bill Gates - he's totally screwed up the IT industry in a big way and he's now giving pocket change to charity to get good PR, as famous people often do. The point?

I wasn't talking to you there :razz:

You're living off inherited share dividends? Great, have fun
You're working for oxfam? If they're also giving you food and shelter etc than great, have fun, if they aren't and you're still claiming benefits than why not go and get your own situation sorted out first?
You're living off benefits without a legitimate reason and no intention of changing? Go get a job
