So no stats then Cicero? So you have an opinion based on nothing?

That's called a prejudice.

Try the Ministry of Social Development (www.msd.govt.nz)(sounds like the title of a govt dept out of the book "1984")

In Sept 1.9% of the working age population was on a sickness benefit:

This is 49,000 people.

I'm not inclined to look up any facts or figures - that's because I'm not asserting any facts. That was you. Still no facts in your argument.

You assert that the minority are deserving. Still no facts.

Oh, and I really don't care whether you like it or not. That's not the point of my posts.

The point of many of my posts on this thread are to illustrate how thin your reasoning is - that's when there is any. Most of the time you just have a rant and get upset with people who disagree with you.

610808 2007-11-13 22:34:00 Sickness benefit ok for people who are physicaly sick.
By sick I mean bed ridden or barely able to move say to letter box.
I remember seeing an ex foreman for a company I worked for who is on a benefit (bad back) making a very large retaining wall. Didnt have any problems with the concrete blocks etc.
People who can drive, drink piss, smoke ciggies and dope cant be that sick that they require money from taxpayers.
Funny I dont see people on the benifit saying thank you taxpayers for your charity and they should. Maybe the should go out with a big B marked by felt pen on their forehead. That way we can see they appreciate the money.
