Are video games killing human civilization?

Many people that receive welfare still work full time jobs but aren't paid enough to feed themselves and their family or pay for medication or pay for child care or pay for schooling, etc.

Do not have children you can not pay for. Do not spend money on useless item. Do not live above your mean.

To be poor is to be stupid, lazy, or both in vast majority of circumstance.

No one really thinks about the logic behind these statements but I'd like to point out that any normal 9-5 worker accounts for "entertainment" in their budget, so why should being poor or receiving government funding deny you the right to have fun once in awhile?

I always hear people saying things like "if you're on welfare you shouldn't be buying beer" but who are we to say someone shouldn't be allowed to enjoy themselves sometimes because they receive government funding? Because they are poor? Yes there are people who blatantly abuse these programs but I don't think it's individuals and families that are occasionally going out for dinner together with some of their welfare cheque.

I wouldn't say that they can't have fun, they have the right to recreation as much as any of us, welfare or not.

But there ARE people out there who explicitly leech off of these systems simply because they're too lazy to work, there's nothing wrong with getting help when you need it.

It's a matter on if you deserve it or not. Being unemployed and searching or Employed and unable to live comfortable verses Unemployed and not searching for a job are very different.

Contribute to society, and you should be able to get the help you need to live a happy life. but if your preferred hobby is a bit more lavish and extravagant, maybe you should focus on getting a job or an income that could support such hobbies, rather than being a giant mooch and leaning so hard on your welfare check that it makes you look pathetic.

(This statement does not take into account the disabled or the elderly, as these two groups usually are physically unable to take care of themselves, and do require vasts amount of help if they wished to live a semi-normal life)

This is the most ignorant quote I've ever quoted by far.

I'm not poor though, and even if I were, it would be irrelevant.

And to be born in to a poor family I guess is your own fault too? Life sucks and it's hard and shit happens so don't pretend to know the circumstances of someone just because they receive government support. While "pulling yourself up by your bootstraps" is a common societal value it's also one that is highly unrealistic for many individuals.

Your perspective is more like one bad apple spoils the bunch which is so far from the truth.

Obvious child is innocent for this one. This is why we do have welfare, so bastard child can eat. I think probably not good for society for having children starving in streets. And yes, this is highly unrealistic for most men because most men are stupid, but such is nature of world.

Don't confuse stupid for lazy.

A stupid person is simply someone who is lacking intelligence or common sense.

A Lazy person is unwilling to work, because they don't "feel like it"

There are plenty of stupid jobs for stupid people, being stupid and being lazy are two different things. though both can coincide.

Stupid people might need help financially because their job is extremely easy, and pays extremely poorly. Hopefully this would make those people want to improve their lives, get a better education, and hopefully with that, get a better job.

A stupid person can be taught, a lazy person you can not.
