Are the Disable breeding like rabbits ?
I assume the medical profession are being kind to families
in need or is it that disabled people have more time available
to fertilize and reproduce ?

A lot of upper middle age people are plugging along in jobs despite medical problems. If you lose that job, you may not get another. I hear it is almost impossible to get a job if you are over 50. If you are over 50 and have a medical or psychological condition that can qualify you for disability payments, it can mean the difference between covering basic living expenses and homelessness.

In Australia the Insurance Premeiums for workers Compensation are "higher" for any-one over 50 so........... no one wants to give them a job if they have to pay more.

Ross and Malcolm,
I left a game site tonight because several of your dependents, ie Aussies on disability, were tying up the feed complaining that they are not getting the help that they deserve, only the boat people and abos get taken care of, society owes them, etc.
I thought that North America had a lock on the parasite class, but apparently I was wrong. My sympathies.

Firstly I did not mean to offend with my post and if I have then
I most certainly apologize .
Australia is a very much a nanny state and we have legions
dependent on government support .

I feel extremely fortunate to have found a part-time job this spring doing something I like for a non-profit company I like at the age of 51. They like me, I'm getting more hours starting in July, and there's a possibility this could go to full time in another year or two. I'm not complaining about a damn thing.
