"If you look at the troubles which happened in European countries, this is purely because of the accumulated troubles of the worn out welfare society. I think the labour laws are outdated. The labour laws induce sloth, indolence, rather than hardworking. The incentive system, is totally out of whack. "Why should, for instance, within [the] eurozone some member's people have to work to 65, even longer, whereas in some other countries they are happily retiring at 55, languishing on the beach? This is unfair. The welfare system is good for any society to reduce the gap, to help those who happen to have disadvantages, to enjoy a good life, but a welfare society should not induce people not to work hard."

This is 100%, absolutely correct. In most Asian countries, if you don't work, you don't eat. There used to be something called the "Protestant work ethic". That's dead. It as been replaced with the work ethic of recently freed Asian societies. The corrupt West forgot about all of the hard work it took to build our societies and keep them competitive. This is why Europe is dead and America is dying.

DUMMY DwarF: ...I'm eating a meatball... "Whenver the dwarf sees something negative about a Democrat, he tries to change the topic of the thread to something else. Usually a personal attack, followed by mutterings about correct 'grammar' 'spelling' whatever. Anything he can think of to avoid a discussion about a Democrat screwing up or looking bad. It's a decade long pattern." --Badeye observation-- It's worse than that. Most young people seem to believe that anybody that is willing to work hard just be stupid. SOME people even say that anybody that works is stupid because all you have to do is pump out a few babies and the government will provide all your living expenses.

Those who seek should not stop seeking until they find. When they find, they will be disturbed. When they are disturbed, they will marvel...
