    But you just told us all you were daft for going to work to support those on benefits.

    Now which is it johnny? A job you love or a job you must be daft enough to do?

    I must be daft but wouldn't swap it as I have some self respect and want to strive in life and not shirk my responsibilities. I want to show others that I am worth something and dont go for handouts and can provide for myself without welfare.

    Welfare would be easier yes, i could lie in bed all day, but i dont want that i want to show others that i can strive for myself and be someone who is respected and a benefit to the UK

    Why do you keep replying to it? It's one of the poorest WUMs I've ever seen frequent a message board.
