'quite a bit of evidence'? Enlighten me, please, (anecdotal stuff
does *not* count). Sources appreciated.

 PE>> I wonder how many of them acknowledge that the taxes you
 PE>> paid whilst working go towards paying for your dole now?

 RS> Soorree, thats completely bogus. If everyone chooses to just put their

'inevitable times out of work'?

Inevitable = unavoidable. See below.

 PE>> and the dole is there as a safety net,

 RS> Yes, but there is a HELL of a difference between a real safety
 RS> net and people not bothering to make their own provision for the
 RS> inevitable times out of work coz they can just stick their hand out.

So there IS a safety net to help us when we are "inevitably
unemployed", but we shouldn't avail ourselves of it?

 RS> They do indeed, and plenty essentially volunteer to live like that.

'plenty'. Enlighten me again... please quantify 'plenty'.

 PE>> On the other hand, there are a lot of non-genuinely-unemployed
 PE>> on the dole too, and they are simply criminals.

 RS> And there are plenty who dont try very hard to find work, like this
 RS> one.

How do you *know* Jon doesn't try very hard to find work?


Cheers...
