Should Benefit Spongers Be Made To Enlist For Afghanistan To Protect The Workers From Terrorism?

Question

It would give them a sense of purpose, take them off housing lists, give value for benefit expenditure, stop them drug taking, vandalising property, robbing the elderly, reduce burglary and help bring order back to our broken society.

I suspect many will agree?

If people dont want to be worthwhile human beings shouldn't they be helped to be worthwhile. Compulsory armed service for all fit men and women who have been sponging the dole for at least 3 years. If they have kids then they can be taken into specialist care centres.

Answer 1

YES YES YES YES YES YES YES YES

Answer 2

I agree that anyone who has sponged off the government continually should be forced into some sort of work. While I can't say I agree with sending them to Afghanistan I think they should be forced to perform some sort of civil service, after all it would help out the millions of people who work hard so they didn't have to.

Now the people who need the benefits and/or are trying to do better they should not be lumped into the afore mentioned group.

Answer 3

Yes, benefit spongers. Not those who are in real need of help. I feel very sorry that we lump these people together.
Don't forget that those on benefit still pay VAT on many items, Gas, Electric, Petrol, etc.the government has gone too far in persecuting the underdog and detracting from the rich fraudsters and tax dodgers. I say lets get it in proportion. Some unfortunate people need help and guidance, and always will.

Answer 4

Brilliant idea!!!

I work in a Jobcentre, so I have first hand experience. It is perhaps a little unfair to tar all unemployed people with the same brush, but I see many that have no intentions of ever working, and will claim everything in sight. For example: "My girlfriends having a baby, what can I claim?" Not "What should I do to support her?"

So yes, pack them off, and give them a sense of direction in life.

Or just have them shot. Dead.

Answer 5

They shouldn't be sent straight out to the front line. That would be completely counter productive. I do think though, that as we have such a war mongering Government it seems only sensible to re introduce National Service. I'm sure that it would cost less than benefits.

Answer 6

We'll remember to treat you like this when you are hard up.
Just send your details and we'll watch out for you.

I suggest you need a sense of purpose. Find some compassion and try to help by volunteering to work with those you despise. Perhaps your good influence will change their lives.

Answer 7

Great idea. Send poor people to get killed by other poor people.

I'd rather the U.S. got out of the militarism game altogether, but sending the tax-dodging corporate scum who actually benefit from the war to fight would be a step in the right direction.

Answer 8

Let's see...take someone who can't be bothered to get of his/her backside and do something worthwhile - then GIVE THEM A GUN.
Anyone see the flaw in this?

Answer 9

Yes. I think we really out to get more Conservatives into Afganistan. On the other hand, they would still be on the government payroll.

Answer 10

You should be on the first plane, come back in a wheel chair, then start posting questions like "war...not all thats its cracked up to be....." fool

Answer 11

no the last thing the army needs is cr#p like that, the guy's out there need people they can rely on they have enough trouble with politicians so don't inflict any more misery on them
