AIBU to think that you have no right to judge people on benefits

you know, the type who have no intentino of ever working, if you yourself are willing to smuggle too many fags into the country to sell on, leave a restaurant knowing that they forgot to charge you for over £50 worth of drink, dodge a bit of tax.

YANBU imho. And many people on benefits help their neighbours out, organise birthday parties on a shoe string, have mild to moderate mental health problems, or physical disabilities, which mean that, although technically fit for work, they have no realistic hope of being employed, etc etc.

What is with all the judge/dont judge threads today? Is it the heat?

So, as I have never smuggled fags into the country, snuck off without paying £50 of a restaurant bill or dodged any tax I can judge away, yes?

(disclaimer: I have no desire to do this. Just thought the list was v specific!)

I've decided to judge anybody who starts a judgey thread and a wannabe benefit bashing thread.

But the OP is judging people who judge people surely?

Feel free to judge in return Wink

I especially judge those who keep popping out kids and have no intention of working, yet constantly post on fb about shopping trips and posting links to expensive things they've just bought!! Grrr.

Like ginhag I have never done any of the things on your list
So I am allowed to judge also?

I pay my restaurant bills, I pay my taxes, I don't smoke.

I judge the people on benefits they are not entitled to. Those that don't declare their earnings, pretend to be sick, are too lazy to work.

I don't judge people who need benefits through no fault of their own, it could happen to anyone.
