    Exactly. We elected them. They are kosher.

      1. Well thats us all screwed from childbirth when you receive free healthcare - should we stamp babies with an IOU for how much they cost us?

      3. Yep, its called society and it does cost- if you want to see what its like to not have a social system, why dont you pack up and go live in Brazil or Nigeria for a while and see how much you like it.

      You can judge a nation on the way it treats its weakest members.

          I thought is was how it treats prisoners/elderly and how far we are detached from our turds.
          Science isn't about why, it's about why not. You ask: why is so much of our science dangerous? I say: why not marry safe science if you love it so much. In fact, why not invent a special safety door that won't hit you in the butt on the way out, because you are fired. - Cave Johnson

                You may not like the statements or how you interpret them but you cannot disagree with them. The NHS is paid for by the NI contributions of those that work for a living so, if a child has working parents, they are paying for the care of their own child. However, they are also paying for the children of those who do not work and some of them do not work because they don't want to and not because they are incapable.

                The point is not that the Government should not provide for those who are unable to work, it is the fact that the Government allocates funds with extreme morality and the message that their choices are for the good of society when invariably it is for their own enrichment or to continue their own existence.

                I agree with your final statement. The way we treat the weakest members of society is to ensure that they stay weak

                    This assumes that alot of people dont want to work. There are some out there - but there are far far more who want to work.

                    The best way to get jobs for those who want them is growth. And, IMO, the best way of getting growth is cutting red tape.
