I hate America... You're not allowed to do a thing there and they have no health care and if you don't have a job then you don't get money there... People without a job still get minimum wage here lol.
The police even asked for my id once because I was drinking beer with my friends and then they said we were too young. I'm 18 years old for crying out loud. How is that too young? America has some beautiful places though like the grand canyon.

Same in England. Do you think these people deserve the minimun wage? Because sometimes i think it would be better off me sitting around not doing anything over having a full time job getting the same pay...

No they don't, JSA (unemployment benefits, essentally) is £60 a week... hardly minimum wage.

Because everyone in the world lives in North America and the UK right?
Sheesh... Here in Belgium you get €900 a month if you have no job. The only thing you need to do is to proof you're looking for a job... But it's easy to just call someone if they are hiring someone and then put down the phone. You also need to have worked atleast a few months before you're entitled to it, but obviously that's not a hard thing to do. A lot of people take advantage from it, but oh well... It's better then having a country filled with poor people.

You say you hate America and then bring up a horrible example of a system that feeds leeches. Shame on you.
Someone is working hard to gather those €900 to every leech. I think it's unfair.

I work hard to pay it to those "leeches"... Sure, some of them are leeches, but not all of them are. It's good for the economy and the taxes on our paycheck are about the same here as in any other country. Atleast my goverment doesn't waste billions worth of taxes for flying to the moon.
