How are you going to shame somebody who has been enabled by a society to believe that it isn't her fault? Before one can be ashamed, one has to accept responsibility.
The Bible is right again: "If any would not work, neither should he eat." 2 Thes. 3:10 Christians should not enable laziness.
This story, along with the post about the British teen sisters who are collecting 31,000L a year raising bastards, at least gives one the hope that someone is noticing the errors of pernicious solialism.
Dang, she looks a little like Rosie O'Donnell. I have nothing against a welfare safety net, but dang, there should be lots of string attached where it encourages responsibility and accountibilty. She should be made to go clean the streets, parks, and whatnot. This is uncalled for. This is a vicious cycle where both the system and the person becoming irresponsible and encourage irresponsibility, it's like the snake eating it's own tail.
LOL!! You are so right!
If only we got off that cheap over a 16 year period.
When "charity" isn't charity at all. In Marvin Olasky's book, "The Tragedy of American Compassion," he describes how in the nineteenth century, anyone seeking a handout from a church-run charity had to either chop wood (for the men) or sew (for the women), taking their cue from St. Paul's admonition: "If a man will not work, he shall not eat."
That's all, over 16 years? I'm sure there are Americans who are worse.
Everyone should read that book.
LOL. That comment made me think of Onslo from Keeping Up Appearances.

Over here in The Netherlands.. Your dole is held back after a year of unemployement.. And even if you're getting it, it's extremely low...

I'll bet she asks at the pub quite often.
