I disagree

The sad thing about sicknote scroungers, is that most of them are a result of, & have been created by conditioning, I think it's what is known as "learned helplessness", after a certain period of time, say 6-12 months of being on benefit, some people become uncomfortably comfortable with being there, & feel that attempting to achieve anything better would be a threat to their comfort zone, & even pointless, because of say what the teacher told them at school ie "you will never mount to anything, or how easy it is to get a criminal record, & that you cant get a job flipping even burgers, with a criminal record. the system puts people in a situation where they are torn between biological needs of having children, & living an existence to pay tax, no wonder people are growing up without a direction, but the system will help you with that, talk about fullfilling one's potential.... It's well known that the system needs a certain level of unemployed people to enable facets of the system, such as work agencies, the job centre, & work based training facilities; also the system needs a level of sick unemployed, to enable categorisation. The problem needs to be there, to enable the system, without it there would be uncontrolled mass unemployment, if every person in this country was cultured & conditioned the same, who would be leader? This isn't about the blame game, the fact is, there are those who are genuinly unable to work, through health related matters; & there are those who are & have been on sick benefitss, through say drug / alcohol dependancy, which is another facet of the system, so many drug agencies ready to help & treatment centres, in this country charging astronomical prices for services that are free ie 12steps. the amount of money wasted in this country, & all that can be done to justify it is to blame the poor, blame the ones in the system,, have to be seen to be moaning, cause it looks like im doing something about it then.
