    And do you earn more money than more obnoxious and rude you are? If passing judgement on others made you money you wouldn't need to work at all :rotfl:


    Please explain how exactly I am rude and obnoxious? I was bought up to believe that if you wanted something you worked for it.
    I still believe that ethos. I struggle to understand why others do belive they should be provided for by the state.

    I have no issues helping people back to work but they have to help themselves.

    But no bonuses!:rotfl:

    I also believe that if you want something you have to work for it, but unfortunately some of us are not in that position due to disabilities and ill health.
    But to advise someone to only have a certain amount of children goes against mine and no doubt other users religion.
    Who do you think you are to preach these principles. You are not GOD.

    Oh maybe you think you are. :A:A:A:A:A

    No I do not think I am GOD.

    I work, my husband works, we have two children, I get CHB. We cannot afford any more children nor have we room for any more children, I would not be entitled to any more benefits if I had any more, I would not get a house with an extra bedroom as I have a mortgage.
    Why therefore should some-one who is claiming benefits take the decision to have more children knowing they can not afford them on the money they are currently getting, why can they not wait until they are in a position to support those children themselves once they are back in work ( and yes this may be part time), why should they get more benefits?
    They took the decisions to have the children so they need to be responsible enough to support them.

    Please tell me exactly why this is wrong? I am not preaching at all simply asking that people take some responsibility.

    I am obviously missing something here so please enlighten me as to the reference to a robot.

    I presume you think I admire, support and honour my employer, if this is the case you really have no idea.

    I have plenty of understanding of the real world but I will not justify myself to you, my past and childhood would be wasted on yourself and it seems you just want to try to ridicule any comments or beliefs I have. Carry on if you so wish, if it makes you happy, I shall lose no sleep over it.
