We're all children of Thatcher

Of course we are. Just rejoice at that news

Viva la revolution!

[xoggoth]

As I said, daft. Some people are just a mess and it really is down to their experiences.

You also have a much bigger chance to fail much more miserably with much worse consequences (ie bankrupcy).

You also have the chance to succeed or fail without risking bankruptcy or having to leave your day job or put l;ots fo money on the line

Stanley Goodspeed: I'll do my best.
John Mason: Your "best"! Losers always whine about their "best"! Winners go home and **** the prom queen.
Stanley Goodspeed: Carla was the prom queen.
John Mason: Really?
[Goodpseed cocks his gun.]
Stanley Goodspeed: Yeah.

love that quote.

If you don't try then you don't fail but if you try hard enough then you succeed most of the time.

Plenty of rags to riches stories out there.

Maybe the level of benefit being issued affects peoples opinions?

Maybe if they asked 'should benefit claimants receive the bare minimum to survive on and support to go back to work' they would have had a different answer?

Better to try and fail then to never try at all.

No, that's losers talk - if you are going to lose then don't even try ffs - whilst winners shag queen of the prom!

its true if you do not own a door how the hell is opportunity supposed to knock....

Least with action you have a chance of success or failure.

The rightist idea that failure is all down to laziness is as daft as the leftist idea that everyone can succeed given the chance, however, after 13 years of Labour, it is certainly more true than it used to be.

Failure is definitely down to laziness. Inaction doesn't lead to the chance of success and so therefore you can only fail.

.....apparently.

well according to the Torygraph anyway:

Thatcher's Britain returns 20 years after she fell

"Britain is moving further to the Right after 13 years of Labour, it is disclosed today, as the public’s views on welfare become tougher than when Baroness Thatcher was prime minister"

"Only a quarter of people believe more money should be spent on benefits compared with more than half in the mid-1980s, it was disclosed"

I find this hard to believe. I think this ratio will change when the benefit cuts actually hit Wayne and Waynetta.
