BF2S Forums Would it be unreasonable to ask?

You're confusing me.

Just a thought that went through my mind today, but would it be unreasonable to make people who collect unemployment and welfare to submit to random cavity & strip searches?

Now I don't think he government has a right to tell you what you can or cannot put into your body but when you are collecting a check from the government I think you should at least make an agreement to not to not smuggle things like crack.

Also would it be unreasonable to ask people who are on welfare to undertake contraceptive surgery. Seriously if you cannot support yourself why would you create more of you?

Maybe a bit heartless but it would teach people a lesson about responsibility right?

That's abit extreme. Maybe they should be drug tested. Here in the UK if you collect benefits and you are an alcoholic.................you get more money than someone who isn't. Same with addicts. Does that make sense to anyone here?

An old friend of mine had been Schizophrenic for 20 years. He was getting a prescribed Modicate injection in the morning and in the evening he would take 10 Ecstasy tablets. Maybe 3-4 times a week. He has was getting nearly £200 a week in benefits his house paid, car paid everything paid. Most of that money went on drugs. The government thought it would be a good idea for him and his also skit-so son to live together. He was even crazier so he got even more money than his dad. Between them they had 400-500 a week to blow on drugs. Things came to a head and they are both locked up now after a few incidents. I knew they guy well, he is in his 50s, son in his 30s. Yes they where mad, but still nice ppl. Their mental state went down the shitter when the government started throwing money at them................which they spent on drugs.

The threads showed up almost side-by-side on my new Posts, lel.

Was actually surprised it hasn't been closed yet.

Sometimes it is best to make a point through parody, rather that direct discussion.

Don't let the mods know that, they don't appreciate parodies.
