    I used to quite enjoy the benefit debates...but now they all go one way

    1. Start benefit thread
    2.Someone mentions DLA
    3. The 'my depressions worse than yours' brigade come out
    or
    4. The 'I can't work because *the busses don't run past my front gate/I'm not working for less than £40 an hour/I'm waiting for the ideal job working 12-1 with an hours lunch break (*delete as appropriate)'brigade start whinging.

    However some of the non working excuses can be entertaining sometimes.

    However-can't bash anyone just now, got to go to work...:p:p

    Well, at least you don't generalise...............:rotfl::T

    You can tell a lot about a woman by her hands..........for instance, if they are placed around your throat, she's probably slightly upset. ;)

    The ironic thing is, Benefit bashing is exactly what the government wants, the whole welfare reform/propaganda is actually an effort to keep wages down..

    Long story, been up all night, cant be bothered to explain right now.
    [greenhighlight]but it matters when the most senior politician in the land is happy to use language and examples that are simply not true.
    [/greenhighlight][redtitle]
    The impact of this is to stigmatise people on benefits,
    and we should be deeply worried about that    [/redtitle](house of lords debate, talking about Cameron)

    The atmosphere is currently filled with hypocrisy so thick that it could be sliced, wrapped, and sold in supermarkets for a decent price and labeled, 'Wholegrain Left-Wing, Middle-Class, Politically-Correct Organic Hypocrisy'.

    Yet you still can't use grammar or punctuation properly?

    ''I've an IQ of 148, thanks-so I damn well know a lot more things than you!''

    Sorry James, couldn't resist-I'll shut up now ;)

    (No offence intended-just a wee joke)
