So you guys think the disabled and the unemployed should be left to starve?

SOB

False dichotomy - dismissed.

Well if theres no dole or disability benefits from the government then what would they live on? Families cant care for them because they have to go to work. Low income earners have enough problems going into debt to pay rent.

SOB

Hmm. You really can't think of any alternative to the welfare state? No family or community based initiatives?

Makes you wonder how anyone survived before the welfare state....which doesn't exist in most parts of the world to this day.

They didnt survive and they dont survive . . .

SOB

Why is that, mother?

Even as every charity welfare organisation started as a private initiative, why is government taking over welfare? Why not leave interpersonal relationships interpersonal? Why de-personalise them?

In countries where there is no welfare ppl just die. Normally from disease and starvation.

But if we had an Apathy Board, what's the chance that no-one would be bothered to post anything on it?

This is now the most active tyhread on the Welfare Board.
See? People are very interested in apathy. It's something we all know about and experience personally.

This Welfare Board needs more charitable supporters, welfare being something that flows from the loving, engaged, charitable heart. But as the welfare has been franchised to the Government, so has the engagement and the charitable heart. Welfare is depersonalised and institutionalised.

And so everyone is waiting for the Government to do somefin' about it (ie throw money at vit, since that's all a Government can do as all it has is money, no heart, not being a person).

So mebbe the Welfare Board IS the Apathy Bord already.

Yeah, a bit slow.

But it's better to be able to discuss the issues sensibly here, rather
than to end up in a flame-war in General.

The subject IS serious, IS valid, and IS important.

It certainly deserves far more discussion & debate than the
usual, dumb, 'Get a job, ya bludger' stupidity that is, regretfully, far
too common.
