I've got another thought, are you getting paid the same as all the other benefit cheats? (not aimed at you blue) If so thats sh!t, you've worked since 12 built up a career and now you find yourself out of work for whatever reason and your only getting the same money as them. Surely the more you work the more you should be entitled to, almost like building up your pension i suppose. Your bound to have more outgoings than a 20 year old whos known nothing except living off £60 a week. We're all getting robbed i tell ye!!

"PERSONALLY.....(This a forum after all, discussion, oppinions etc......)"
From what i've read, people are biting at you Blue because they think you're taking advantage of a system that is just a safety net, and good for them/us. Just because you qualify on paper doesn't mean it's there for the taking. I thought this system was for people who need money because they "can't" find work? You may be qualified on paper to take it, but morally you don't deserve it if you chose to give up work, then put your hand out? How many times have you complained about the taxes you pay, for petrol (general tax example) especially given this is petrolhead forum, remember that next time you pick your cheque up! You don't come across as a layabout but you are taking advantage of the same system as these type of people, costing every tax payer more each year! What makes you any better than anyone else that has to suffer in a poor job to pay bills while they look elsewhere for work? Do you spend your days off M-F 9-5 considering options for work i wonder? http://www.dsdni.gov.uk/index/ssa/be...neral_info.htm Figuring out what to do in life isn't in the listed criteria here..... No offence mate, quite an interesting debate! ![]() Last edited by TheStudent; 01-05-08 at 04:52 PM. |

If Benefit Scrounging is OK for the Royal Family then fair enuf for anyone else.....grab wot yer can.....they will only waste it on something else anyway......and I mean this in a Capitalist Free Market kinda way - NOT in a lefty nanny state manner
![]() Apart from the Beer money, also a good idea to keep yer Stamp up to date, a few months here and there over the years do add up. I am guessing they do have a few tricks to stop folk deliberately b#ggering up interviews - yer may need to be inventive........But you may be in the right place for help on that one ![]() ![]() Me? I don't take anything from HMG. ![]() |

Money gets spent most efficiently when you don't have much of it. Therefore, I feel that the utter raping my pay cheque gets every month, and subsequently when ever I buy anything there after is an outrage. I'd guess Blue feels the same. He's been presented with an opportunity to get some of that money back, and I can't honestly see why anyone would object to this. In fact, if everyone did it, then perhaps the government would have to rethink handing benefits out like confetti. |

Cash back perhaps, but nothing to do with not being bothered to work. After years of being screwed, it's simply a way of recouping some of the money, nothing to do with laziness.

However, the same thing is being done as those who are just lazy, imorrally taking advantage of the same weak system for personal gain. Yes it is legal what he is doing, but principally wrong! Figuring out what to do in life isn't too much different from sitting around doing not much! We pay taxes for good reason, that's why he have tarmac roads (and effin speed cameras unfortunately, bad example :S), a 999 system, schools etc. It is not a savings account to be withdrawn from at any time! Save your own money and live a life of leisure from that, don't withdraw from my hard earned and paid tax! Because that you paid in previous years isn't sitting waiting, some of you seem to think that makes benefit... "abuse"? ....ok. It has already been spent on hospitals you may have sat in, or police wages, the guys you can call when in trouble! (Expensive political dinners too granted but that will always be the way!). Get a job man! ![]() |

To be technically correct, you never OPENED it correctly/at all ![]() ![]() .. Anyway. ![]() ![]() Its a great debate topic isn't it ![]() But you have to remember I AM unemployed, why should some scabby lowlife who has never worked a day in his life get benefits under these conditions if I can't? Why is he more valuable to society than I?? ![]() ![]() To be fair, I could get very depressed about being unemployed and I have bouts of panic attacks realising that I am. It is all very new to me right now so a combination of being a bit scary and a bit exciting ![]() I have already tried to state it before, but it seems to have been lost in the weeds. Although floundering over which path I will take, I AM actively seeking work and have several pans in the fire at this very moment!! ![]() ![]() ![]() Last edited by Blue_SV650S; 01-05-08 at 07:06 PM. |

The government robs more money from us than it should and wastes it. Blue is simply taking back some of what quite frankly should have been his money in the first place. |

If the system is there for people who 'can't' find work then I guess there would be far fewer claimants. There are many, I think, who could find work if only they were arsed to do so. |
