    If you are "poor" (IE earning very little "reportable" income) you can get...

    Thousands of dollars for free food
    Nearly free housing pretty much anywhere
    Many states will give you a free car with free auto repairs
    Free healthcare
    Free cell phone (funded by the 15% hidden tax on all TV/internet/phone coverage you've had since 1996)
    Even more free stuff if you're a poor "single mom" (IE a whore)
    Plus you have 10-20k worth of spending cash, not counting what you earn illegally

    Getting a 9 to 5 paying 30-60k a year doesn't hold a candle to that benefit package. I'm pretty sure the UK isn't this lavish. If you're on the dole you have to go to a hospital and wait like everyone else.

    plus one. the last "single mom" i had to deal with didnt understand her WIC benefits, but checked the time on her steve jobs phone that was in her Louis - damn thing was big enough to smuggle a guatemalan family into the country.

    Reading an article this morning and this stood out.
    What were the British thinking when they threw open their doors to mass immigration from the Third World?

    Over centuries, they had failed to assimilate a few million Irish, who were European Christians. So, having failed to assimilate the Irish, they decided to invite in millions of Hindus and Muslims from South Asia, Arabs from the Middle East, Africans from the sub-Sahara, black folks from the Caribbean.

    But with no common faith or culture to hold the nation together, Britain is coming apart. Multiculturalism has "utterly failed," said Germany's Angela Merkel, only to be echoed by Nicolas Sarkozy and David Cameron.

    Is multiculturalism a success here? Or does the sudden eruption of flash mobs suggest that the curtain has begun to be pulled back on diversity's dark side here in America?

    Oh, I don't know....I think it is very similar when you get real "welfare pros" on the case, nomatter which side of the atlantic you are on. Here's an example of a UK family on $70k a year of "free money".....:

    my take on it now that I have rellies as they call them over their and Canada both sides of family in the US also

    the UK is just the same as the US in most ways with a few things being different such as legal system but the daily living grind is about the same they are just a few years ahead of us and at a higher cost
    when you look at the UK history they had crossed roads we did but much earlier they are what we are going to become if things keep going thats how are family sees it mostly
    the welfare state that my rellies mention seems about like ours with many taking advantage


    I loved going to the UK back in the 80s
    I remember seeing the Clash in Brixton in 1981 great time great people etc..

    these days ? sucks in most places but then again our cities suck in most places these days but were fun in the early 80s ?

    I say we are quite parallel with the UK

    - Obviously the usual spin on this, but I have to say I wholeheartedly agree - and many people living in the UK will be of the same opinion right now.

    As everyone in the newsroom debated the use of force – whether to use rubber bullets, tear gas, water cannons, Tasers, even bean-bag guns – I wondered why they were wasting their breath.

    “If your cops had guns, day number 2, 3, 4 and 5 of this, it would NOT have happened!” I said at a recent meeting.

    People stopped talking and looked at me. A couple giggled. Those who know me weren’t too horrified, but others stared at me like I’d just drop-kicked a puppy.
    Cyril: Oh now that's a breach of trust!

    Lana: Do you really want to open this can of trust-breachy worms after I just found you and my ex-boyfriend with a dead hooker in the trunk?

    Cyril: ...I do not.

    You take exception with (my) post 28? Well I'm not interested in your trolling nonsense either... now fire away.

    It sure seems like a lot of threads get hijacked in the General Discussion part of this forum. The OP asked if anyone thought if we could see this (riots like those in the UK) could happen here and pretty soon it gets to governmental misconduct. I'll not except any of the blame you seek to place because I conduct business ethically and my coworkers do as well.
