Re: The state benefits system mega-thread. Many merged.
@ Den - I think if pressed, most of these people, even if they do make crass statements to that effect, would have to accept that they're talking nonsense when pressed. It's easy to take isolated comments and extrapolate from them all sorts of things which aren't true and were never intended. People who're unaffected by disability will obviously not understand the reality which those afflicted face and say silly things, but in most cases that's more down to knee jerk, uninformed, reaction than any serious thought process with evidence to support it.
