Why is prejudice against lazy people still acceptable?

Some people are religious, or vegetarian. Apparantly its not acceptable to be prejudiced against them, but it is OK to be against laziness. If someone really hates work then who are we to judge? Leave em on the dole I say, keeps em out of they way anyway. Some people really don't have the mindset for work life and could be considered a form of mental health issue.
Laziness is only bad when people are forced to work and then end up not doing a good job because as I mentioned, they lack the mindset to make a good worker. I think the dole is overly harsh in handing out sanctions. Its not like dole is giving people a great living anyway.

Sometimes my advice may not be great, but I'm not perfect and I do try my best. Please take this into account.

If we're being PC it should be "Selectively participating"
Selectively participating and proud - not sure I can see it as a slogan. They'd run out of steam before they got to the end of the banner.All shall be well, and all shall be well, and all manner of things shall be well.
Pedant alert - it's could have, not could of.0 -

I had this (heated) discussion with my sister over dinner a couple of years ago. I made my point by eating the food and refusing to contribute to the bill.0
