I'm American, and I'm neither lazy nor do I not want to work. I've never been on disability or unemployment once in my 20 years on the work force. That comment is too much of a sweeping generality IMO.

i know, it's a generalazation and there are many poeple that do want to work. There are also many people that that use the system for the purpose for which it was intended (i am one of them).......... unfortnatly, I'm in so much contact with the worst types of people and I see how they fuck the system and have no regard for anything. Like I said earlier, it's just been getting to me lately.
I think I understand what Xxiv is saying cause I see the same thing with lots of people. Lots of capable people and there are jobs to be had. From what some have told me.. they make outbetter on the system than they would going to work. I think many fall into that cy le and ive read many articles that say its generational. Mom and dad did it. Now kids are. Its easier.
Generalization. Sure... but holds truth for many.
I get what you're saying.
There has to be a better way to go about it.....I wonder what they do in other countries? How do you go about cutting the cord for the majority of the parasites that are draining the system? The sense of entitlement is disgusting, to say the least. I can understand your frustration if it's something you see on a regular basis.
in other countries the population is not disgusted with those in need treating them with generalization such as the ones here. most other countries don't experience the rivalry between a. the social classes and b. the government.
that rivalry is enough to make the poor wanna suck on the teet rather than get back to a place where he can contribute to the system that has helped him
in essence, there's a more humanistic, less corporate approach to social aspects of government in other countries, at least the ones i've been able to learn about. the mentality here is too war-like, even internally. and i fully indulge too, since i feel there's a war on intellect, per the initial post.
