Banging on and on about rights.......

[poddster]

......under what "right" are people paid to exist without doing anything for their payment.?

Is it just because they exist?

Care to put a percentage on the ones that choose to live off welfare totally?

Ask The Daily Telegraph or ACA or Today Tonight.

Take it all with a grain of salt, his stories change all the time. Anyone that has paid taxes in their lifetime should also be looked after when they cannot find employment.

Education is probably the key to all these issues with people that choose to live on welfare. I acknowledge they exist.

Under that theory Donna, what would you suggest for those who have been on welfare since day one, they have not paid a brass razoo in tax.
Donna, what I have recounted has not changed, ever, so it may be a good idea to show proof of what you claim to be changes.

I suggest we have sympathy for those who are going through life in poverty. Have sympathy for those who are marginalised by people that have arrived here and now look down on others, judging them as unworthy bludgers.

Some will forever use those less fortunate as punching bags when they're having a bad day.

Nova may I suggest the you avail yourself of some knowledge of post war torn country history and the plight of the millions of displaced people. Displace people lived in abandoned buildings, under bridges in disused railway tunnels and anywhere they could find. No magical organization came to the aid of those people they had to fend for themselves in the early years.

Which is exactly what asylum seekers are doing and yet you bang on bad-mouthing them too.

Surely as a thinking species we should be appalled by what happened after the war and continue to build a society where things like that don't happen not hold them up as an excuse to lose our empathy and spirit of humanity

Some welfare payments are taxable poddy.

For those on long term benefits who clearly don't want to work are more than likely not well educated, an educated person is more likely to have a reason to work, a lot of the umemployed don't know any different, perhaps their parents didn't guide them well. I don't know.

Your history and you private life is your own business, you splash a little information to support your agenda but wont answer specific questions, it might be better if you say nothing about your 8 years in a camp because naturally people are going to ask questions about it and you ignore them.

Your so called "asylum seekers" are not seeking asylum the vast majority of them are seeking a hand out, which is too freely available to them at taxpayers cost.

But this thread is about those who are unwilling to get of their butt and earn their keep, and I mean Australian citizens.

By the way not one person who has participated in this thread has addressed the original opening post.

Is it a "right"  to have other people look after your welfare when you are unwilling to to do that yourself?

If it is a "right" who or what has bestowed that on the recipient?

By what virtue can anyone demand that their welfare is looked after?

If you consider that it is a "right" then justify it with some form of logical argument

Wonders never cease to happen Donna, I am getting a lecture on not answering questions from a person who has evaded questions asked by me over a period spanning 10 years or so.

You have made my day 🙂

[donnashuggy]

That is a diversion poddy, if you asked genuine on topic and relevant questions I would happily answer.

[poddster]

Are you saying that over a period of ten years my questions were off topic and irrelevant?

Or were you evading pertinent questions because truth and your particular agenda was in conflict and it was easier not to answer?

I don't get diverted as easily as you might think

My opening post still stands unaddressed
