I am saying that the best bet at saving the next generation of Susan Moores is if the US declares European welfare systems a national security threat.QUOTE OF THE DAY!!!

Wow, I guess my initial assesment of the British as a bunch of tea-drinking inbreds was a little premature.
The UK is, of course, doomed if there are 5 or 10 of the welfare sponges for every 1 like the author.

The purpose of a helping hand is to lift people up. Instead it has become a jackboot that holds people down. You are no longer helping people when you take away their will to succeed.

Happily, not all recipients waste their time on the dole: Muhammed Metin Kaplan set up his Islamist group, Caliphate State, while on welfare in Cologne; Ahmed Ressam, arrested in Washington State en route to blow up Los Angeles International Airport, hatched his plot while on welfare in Montreal; Zacarias Moussaoui, the "20th hijacker" currently on trial in America, became an Islamist radical while on welfare in London; Abu Hamza became Britain's most famous fire-breathing imam while on welfare in London; Abu Qatada, a leading al-Qaeda recruiter, became an Islamist bigshot while British taxpayers were giving him 10 times as much per week as Susan Moore. It was only when he was discovered to have £150,000 in his bank account that the Department for Work and Pensions turned off the spigot. If only the Susan Moore-ish super-spongers were as purposeful as the neo-Moorish super-spongers.

Teachers are uncomfortable with the notion of an "opposing side" one must strive to "beat" - just as, in the war on terror, many grown-ups are uncomfortable with the notion of "the enemy"Close, but no cigar. Many of the same people who won't admit that Islamist terrorists are America's mortal enemies, have no problem at all claiming George Bush is America's enemy.
Weird, but true.

If only the Susan Moore-ish super-spongers were as purposeful as the neo-Moorish super-spongers. I had to reread that line to get it.
