You seem to keep getting stuck on this, so I'll explain again:

What seems to be a majority is not necessarily a majority. From what you've told us, you live in an area with a high crime rate, and you let your personal experience color your opinion, on top of media bias and public opinion.



...No, I'm pretty sure accusing him of being dole-scum and then accusing him of frivolously spending his benefits on luxuries is ad hominem. Possibly strawmanning too.
At last, someone is speaking reasonably. Yes, undoubtably my personal experiences somewhat effect the way I think, but that's the case for everyone. Unfortunately, there's no statistics of who's frauding and who's genuine, for obvious reasons. So you have to go by what's available, which makes these riots so damned depressing. So many idiots jumped on the bandwagon, and I know no honest, hard-working person would take part in that. Leaves a bad taste in the mouth.

None of those remarks were aimed directly at him. I simply said that people who frivolously spend their benefits on luxuries and then complain about their lack of money are stupid. Which I see as common sense, and yet I'm getting argued with about it. Figures.
