      I reckon I was lucky to be born with a modicum of brains and talent - but I have put myself out and done stuff that (for example) my considerably brainier best mate wouldn't dream of doing - hence I earn more than him.

      It is neither it is simply ambition.

        Why bother with ambition when the benefits system pays for everything?

          You joke, but the height of ambition for many is to get the most out of the benefits system.

          Aspiration, ambition neatly dumbed down courtesy of socialism.

            It could be argued that lazy people are lazy because they have a genetic predisposition to be lazy and so technically it is not their fault.

            Is that so? I'm very lazy yet I've done OK for myself. Why do so many people on this site think they are a cut above the rest?
            The court heard Darren Upton had written a letter to Judge Sally Cahill QC saying he wasn’t “a typical inmate of prison”.

            But the judge said: “That simply demonstrates your arrogance continues. You are typical. Inmates of prison are people who are dishonest. You are a thoroughly dishonestly man motivated by your own selfish greed.”
