Why not just simply stop giving them unlimited support for the rest of their lives? Make them get jobs. People who don't have to work have very little respect for those that do.

bollocks.
Most ppl who do not work (snip)


"People who don't have to work" not "People who arn't working."

This includes our wealthy "leisure class" and people on perpetual government support, who are perfectly fit to support themselves.

This obviously doesn't include the unemployed. I'm certain most unemployed that are looking for work don't consider themselves in a group that "doesn't need to work."

By all means treat these people with contempt - as that is the way they wish to be treated (treat unto others etc etc)...
I'm not sure to what you are refering.



I think he's saying they deserve the disdain we have for them, they've earned it.

Making generalizations is quite a harmfull thing to do I think.
In this case, I accuse you of doing such.


In general, yes, but when the generalization is constructively addressing a genuine problem, I don't see the harm.
