Foxy,
You're only trying to win a technical point whereas I'm looking at it from a morally justifiable point !
Too many people costing the rest of us too much for nothing !

It's a really nice feeling knowing that I am one of the most educated and smartest guys in the country.
Mr Opinion,
Sounds as though you've convinced yourself of that already but, when will you start proving it to Us ?
I have yet to see any proposals from you for getting our youths off Welfare & into meaningful jobs that help bring manufacturing back to this country ! After all, someone will need to pay for your & Paul1405's Superannuation Just as us oldies here have paid for your parents' !

Individual,

This is not about point scoring.

This is about evidence-based facts.

Read the link I gave before you make any other
statements.

I would love to agree with you, but then we'd
both be wrong.

"morally justifiable point" Indy cut the crap. You simply lash out at certain sections of the community because of your past failings. Some time back, you hinted you were for a brief time employed in the public service, a brief time, yep no doubt a failure and dismissed due to incompetence brought on by your general lack of education, hence your dislike of academia, who pervade the very institutions you were excluded from in your younger day due to your lack of intelligence. Unfortunately there is nothing Foxy, Mr O or myself can do about that.

Individual,

I don't know any youths on welfare. The ones
I know have jobs and work hard. Of course they're
prepared to work at anything, and move anywhere
rather than rest on their laurels and be supported
by the government. It's a cultural thing. The way
they were raised. Having a strong work ethic helps.
As does being self-reliant.

And BTW - no oldies on this forum ever paid for anything
for my parents. They, like their children - worked for
everything they had/have. They made sure they had enough
for their old age. They never asked for anything from
anybody.

We obviously live in two different worlds.

Hmmh, must have hit a nerve with our resident intellectuals ! As the saying goes, the truth hurts !
