There are much bigger things that aren't "fair" to be judgmental about than your neighbour on pogey.

If you want to worry about other people ripping off society in some way, it might be a good idea to worry about the people who are pulling the big cons, not the hypothetical lazy neighbour.

I worry about that too, but that isn't the topic being discussed. Life isn't fair, but I believe we should as humans strive to make it as fair as possible.

"I believe we should as humans strive to make it as fair as possible."

Agreed. That's why, when the big guy's hoarding 98 of the 100 cookies, I'm not going to fight over it if my neighbor didn't work as hard (in my judgment) for his 1/4th cookie as I feel like I did for mine.

And it is making it more fair, by bringing some people out of a crushing situation. Did you know some places give food to the poor, too? How unfair is that to the parent that worked hard to put food on the table? Or all sorts of other relief that aren't available to people whose work paid off.
