Seriously mate we discuss these issues as I said before I have courage of conviction and stand by and fight for my point of view. It is no different to what you marty or any other members do. Why do you feel the need to single me out and make out like its only me that stubborn? most of us in these threads are just a stubborn so I would appreciate it if you and others were to stop singling me out acting likes its only me ok??

Who's singling you out? I happen to be responding directly to you at this point, I've responded to directly to others at other points. And I will continue to do so. I have a conviction to stand by, just as you do.
I consider I know what goes on in your head only to the extent that you share your thoughts in this thread, and others like it. I have seen you arguing that people who don't share your experience can't speak to it as well as you can. I have seen you observing that you think others are trying to discredit or attack you when all I can see is people addressing social situations that you happen to personally identify with.
A national welfare policy is a blunt instrument. We can only discuss the rights and the wrongs of it in blunt fashion. There will always be personal stories of hardship and a sense of injustice in this area. A policy designed to address the needs of millions is always going to have anomalies that disadvantage some. However I do not see anywhere in this thread, any discussion about the technicalities and what might need to be done in order to address injustices and anomalies. The thread so far has been very high level, discussing the overall right or wrong of the benefit reforms. As such, I can see no justification at all for you feeling like your position is being personally attacked. I might just as well be accused of attacking myself, seeing as I am currently and by some distance a net beneficiary of the system rather than a net contributor - a fact you have previously dismissed as less relevant than your own experience as I'm not actually on the 'bread line'. But there we go round in circles again.
