*** begin quote ***
I live in South Korea now and I have to say that
JohnT has a point.
In Korea, there is no welfare state and in Seoul
there is little or no crime. People respect the
property of others.
The young kids know that stealing will result in
a prison sentence and after that they will be
unemployable for the rest of their lives. No job,
no life, basically homeless.
Their families will reject them and never talk to
them again and their peers will forget they ever
existed.
It has taken me almost 40 years to realise that
the biggest mistake in our country’s history is
the welfare state. It has led our young into a life
that will always be supported and encouraged no
matter what crimes they commit.
Just think James Bulger – the poor innocent little
boy disgustingly killed at the hands of young
teenagers – what are the killers now? living a
normal life at the hands of the state with a new
name and life. What is happening to James
Bulger’s life? … forgotten
I know this is extremism at is most right wing,
but I suggest the welfare state be disbanded and
people become more responsible for their
actions.
*** end quote ***
It seems so simple. Force is the root of all evil.
