    Yes!!

    I have worked non-stop since I was 16, yet I know of someone who is now 21 and not worked a SINGLE day in his life.

    But he can afford EVERYTHING, all the best cloths, new car, nights out, season ticket at CP.

    Why should he and others get this all from OUR money yet we have to go out to work, to pay our own way and THERE way in life? * that!!

    Whos worse, a grass or a thief?...

    I suppose the question should be, would you grass a benefits cheat you don't know, or don't like.

    Are the people saying yes saying they'd grass a family member/friend?

    I've never thought about it so I don't have an answer just now.

    Why wouldn't you grass???

    I often wonder why people won't tell the police or others if they've been a victim of a crime because they don't want to be seen as grasses.

    Really don't understand the logic of it myself.

    The goverment tells us how much benefit cheats are costing us every year but they think nothing of spending millions a day in an illegal war. Do you really think that if people stopped doing the double tomorrow the money that's saved would go to our schools or hospitals?

    I dont.

    Depends. If it was someone who had to do it because of how * up this country is then no.

    It's also a useful thing to have over someone's head. People who are * scared of getting caught are more useful than people who are banged up. If you have a good card, you don't play it early.

    Exactly. I know someone who was milking the system. Claiming incapacity benefit because of depression. This person happens to be my little cousin and he's a manipulative, lazy little * who hasn't done a days work in his life. He had a job at a factory and just couldn't be arsed going.

    I'd guess that you'd like a grass if someone stole something belonging to you then someone else grassed to you who it was.
