@drjackrabbitslim What is normal?

People who disguise it like I do don't know I am mentally disabled but I'm smarter than they are just because I have social problems does not mean I'm a vegetable. I can walk, talk and do anything a normal person can do when I put my mind to it.

@sammyq990 Actually I work and I'm mentally disabled not all of us are work skivers as you put it there are some that do work. But for those that don't work they deserve the money especially those who are INCAPABLE of working those with legs and arms blown off or those with mental incapacity.

@drjackrabbitslim When you get hit by a car and told you can't walk and kill yourself I will piss on your grave and laugh.

A similar demeaning of the unemployable and squeezing the 'layabouts' off the dole bit was carried out in British Columbia a few years ago. After some suicides of those who could not cope with it the tally for chucking a few dozen frauds off the rolls hardly equated to loss of life. But that is a value judgement, like those made in high office about people who 'do not contribute' and are 'outside the productive mainstream'. Humans have Rights: Every Human Being. Even the weak, poor and sick.
