In case you are not sure of the definition of "compassion" Tora, I append it below.

" A feeling of sorrow or pity for the suffering of another : usually with a desire to alleviate it "

SIR Oracle.

i am glad you did not post ' bob hope' again as that is soap and you don't want smelly people near you ?

[sherrardk]

So they apparently had 30k spare to spend on drugs, hardly think so. Can't you smell ***?

[ToraToraTora]

suffering - I'm always being told that cannibis is a wonder drug that makes people happy, she's had £30k worth sounds like she's having a better time than me, having to work to pay rediculously high taxes to fund the feckless. Compassion?? please!

[anneasquith]

well get on the bob hope and be happy :)

you are mixing with some bad uns

[ToraToraTora]

gawd I'm dealing with part time lefties now! Come on any decent lentil munchery will tell you that Cannibis is the wonder drug that's good for eveything and that alcohol is satan's urine! where's mikey when he's needed!

Your Answer Here

[Zeuhl]

If the story was that all her living expenses AND her drugs were funded by benefits, your argument would make some sense.
However she scrounged money from family so there is no correlation between benefits paid and money spent on drugs. So your argument is ***.

you takin the p

[SirOracle]

Would someone please tell me what a lentil munchery is.

[Zeuhl]

Sorry I want to say:

Your argument is Jackson Pollocks

[ToraToraTora]

whenever these sorts of things come up there is always a rush to defend the scrounger! PMSL, "Muncher" oracle!

[Zeuhl]

Not defending the scrounger. Just pointing out the shortcomings in the logic of your argument.

[ToraToraTora]

so our benefits are not too generous then? Right oh!

[Zeuhl]

Well if they are, this Story isn't evidence of it as you assert in your OP.
That's why it looks moronic.

[anneasquith]

I thought lentil munchery was a new dope on the market ?

[ToraToraTora]

£30k of benefits was spent on dope.

[SirOracle]

Still no wiser as to lentil muncher Tora. PMSL I do understand.
Suppose it is an age thing in my case. I must get out more.
