I was in the downtown area yesterday in a federal government building. This information is important because in this building there is a phone that can be used for free for job searching (and only job searching purposes). While visiting this building, a young man (who looked like he hadn't showered in weeks) came in and picked up the phone. He proceeded to phone local churches and beg for money for him and his brother (who he said had different fathers to cover up the fact that they had different last names--he volunteered this information when asked on the phone for their names) to go to Ottawa to see 2 of his relatives who were children in a car accident and had 48 hours to live (convenient eh? Just long enough to beg for $$$ and get there, but not long enough for the church to really consider the request and realize that the guy was full of horse s#*t). He claimed that his WELFARE cheque (more of our tax dollars going to a good cause) was lost in the mail and he was too poor to afford the bus tickets. This, to me seemed like a rather far fetched story. The church on Smythe Street, however must have found it believable because they agreed to give ole' Pig Pen $80 to put toward his "trip" (although I am sure that the only trip he was going to take was when he tripped out on the drugs he planned on buying with the money).

The funny thing about this story is that this guy was not even a member of this church, they were offering him $80 and he kept on saying that it wasn't enough and "can you give us any more?". You might think that after the background I just gave you that I am about to blog about how much I hate beggars (which I do). You'd be wrong...

I HATE ENABLERS!!!

Merriam-Webster's Medical Dictionary defines an enabler as "one that enables another to achieve an end; especially : one who enables another to persist in self-destructive behavior (as substance abuse) by providing excuses or by helping that individual avoid the consequences of such behavior"

In truth the government is the biggest enabler. Unfortunately there are many people who are able to use loopholes in the welfare system to abuse it (or they simply lie to the government in order to get $$$). I suppose the government can't really be faulted for that given the number of people who are on welfare. But this really isn't about the government is it?

I can understand if a church rallies behind a member of their congregation who may have fallen on hard times. Someone they know and trust and isn't just trying to pilfer money from the coffers. But for this church (or any other) to take the word of this trailer park reject and to blindly give the money that the members of the church so kindly donated to a couple of guys who certainly seemed to me to be looking for a drug fix is inconceivable!

I cannot stand these bleeding hearts who believe that there are no throw-away people. Anyone who expects things to be handed to them on a silver platter and never expects to work for anything IS a throw away person. Maybe we should take America's suggestion, but rather than give them our poor, tired and huddled masses yearning to be free, we should give them our lazy, dirty and drugged out welfare f#$kheads yearning to live off the dime of anyone who won't make them work for it. While we are at it, perhaps we can send all those bleeding hearts who want to "save" them south as well.

Don't misunderstand me, I think the welfare system in Canada is very important. We should take care of people when they are down on their luck. But these people who CHOOSE to be down on their luck. These people who CHOOSE to use drugs or CHOOSE to not work or CHOOSE not to get the help they need. These people ARE throw-away people. They lie, cheat and steal their way through life. Sometimes they work harder at keeping up with their lies than they would ever have to work if they had a job.

So lets hook up all their trailers to a big truck and the bleeding hearts can tow them away to a better life. One where they can be drugged out and lazy and their saviours can wait on them like their mother. What a happy, dirty, drugged out, lazy community that would be, except for, of course, the saviours; Who would have to work their asses off to support these morons who are currently living off our tax dollar.
