I am a member of this board who claim with a straight face that as long as the society of this area live through government dependence (a/k/a slavery), the problem will only get worse. The government programs that sustain and enslave these people are directly responsible for producing reprobates like the ones interviewed in this article.
Will these ones give up their evil ways and become productive citizens? I doubt it. Not because I think they are inherently evil, but because deprogramming a lifetime of experience is a virtual impossibility. And that's even if you managed to get rid of all the hucksters who programmed them.

Possibly so, but most of the members here think the opposite. They think that the vermin will attempt to swarm out of their cesspools looking for food, women, bling and anything else they can get their hands on.
Depends on how it's done. If they suddenly stop working, then yeah the cities will burn.
If benefits are gradually reduced to the point where being a welfare mom stops being viable, and being married to a guy with a steady job becomes more attractive, then you will see a gradual shift. When you need a steady job in order to get laid, then those young men will develop more of an interest in becoming qualified for employment.
Point to you. The welfare state needs to be dismantled, but we are going to have to approach it like disarming a time bomb - because that’s exactly what it will be.
What we won’t be able to do, which Romney is not stupid enough to try anyhow, is immediately roll back benefits. The shock to the system would simply be too great. He has to reassure and restart the economy first.
But it will eventually have to be done.
