To respond to fb status about benefits & urine tests?

[Mentile]

Today's copy and paste status amongst my acquaintances today implies that all people on benefits should have to take a urine test to show they are alcohol and drug free in order to claim. I'm truly fed up of benefit bashing comments like this from my 'friends' who, when challenged, usually say 'oh we didn't mean you, obviously'. Actually it's people just like me they are referring to. WIBU to challenge a friend on this and ask how they would feel about urine tests to claim CB, for example?

I still want to know how vouchers would work?

Seriously someonesnotinbed? Now you are trusting wiki?

Oh dear God...

Why can't we all learn to live together in peace and harmony?

Because you insist on insulting people lol

Not sure who said anything about 'wiki' LtEve?

Ginger and mandwa, care to back those claims up with any evidence?

I include myself in that. Anyway bye now

The whole point is that some people in very difficult situations are unable to get the help they need. It's your way or the highway isn't it.
Grow up and see some real life.
Yes, I am annoyed, I always get annoyed at people who think they know all the answers and yet very obviously have absolutely no experience.

When I was waiting for a hip replacement I was on opiate based painkillers. Now I didn't happen to be on benefits, but it's interesting to know that the idiot who wrote that cut and paste thinks I should have been denied them because I was suffering from a health condition I couldn't help.
