QUOTE (andy1979uk @ Jul 4 2012, 09:04 AM) Maybe I have just unfortunate with the young people I have come across, although I would'nt say they are all lazy they certainly do expect an awful lot provided by the government, Maybe you get out of a conversation what you expect. So if you didn't talk to every young person with contempt then you'd be very much mistaken.

Possibly, there is a noticeable attitude though that it is the norm for everyone to be given handouts, after all they work part time and pay NI why should'nt they be given it back ten fold?

You are right though, I think many do think as you describe, but it doesn't unduly bother me at the moment.

I shall now invoke Godwins Law (thus automatically ending my involvement in this argument) , liken you to Hitler (except with 16 to 25 year old, instead of the Jews) and leave you be.
