Unfortunately, so many people have taken advantage of that entitlement that they have forgotten how to stand on their own two feet. I have blogged several times on the blight affecting New Zealand a condition caled "Entitleitis" whereby the sufferer has become so reliant on state support that he/she has lost their sense of self-reliance.<BR/><BR/>As for your assertion that the payer of benefits can't advise the payee on how to spend it, I disagree - the state has not only a right, it has a responsibility to ensure that benefit money is spent appropriately, on core expenses first such as housing, food and clothing before luxuries are bought.Keeping Stockhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13635959917715078192noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5710845602477644495.post-8782424634600021742009-02-20T08:07:00.000+13:002009-02-20T08:07:00.000+13:00If people have a right to a benefit then the provi...If people have a right to a benefit then the provider of that benefit has to give it to them without passing judgement or offering any advice.<BR/><BR/>If people don't have a right and a benefit is a charitable gift to help someone who has fallen on hard times then the giver is absolutely within his or her rights to attach some advice.Scaliahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13531411159586223819noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5710845602477644495.post-1930413641631143352009-02-18T15:39:00.000+13:002009-02-18T15:39:00.000+13:00The StP thing is still in progress.I love lentils,...The StP thing is still in progress.<BR/><BR/>I love lentils, it is just the rest of them that 'think' they don't like them.<BR/><BR/>By all means email the recipe though, I am always keen to expand my budget cooking repertoire.Madeleinehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00377823497040412237noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5710845602477644495.post-64344117770902447482009-02-18T13:18:00.000+13:002009-02-18T13:18:00.000+13:00If you think lentils are threatening, you obviousl...If you think lentils are threatening, you obviously haven't tried my wife's lentil cottage pie.
