Tramps - The Scum of Society

My town is littered with bums, spongers, and trampies (more politically correctly known as hobos ). Recently a tramp cursed me when I refused his plea for change. The reason why I didn't give him change was because it has always been my conviction that my generous offerings would only contribute to the further deterioration of the subject, i.e. drugs and drink. Instead of lounging around and intimidating decent folk they should be "volunteered" by the government into making a proper contribution to society e.g. charity work, army front line. They are harming our countries precious image and only by cleansing our soceity of these scum will we be able to rectify our damaged reputation!

Do you think someone with a drug and drink problem would be ideally suited to charity work or front line soldiering?

I'm not sure about you but I wouldn't want someone in that condition (many of whom also have serious mental health issues) next to me in the front line.

Scientific experiments instead of animals?

Or for cheap labour instead of immigrants?

Besides, you're a student, which means that you're a slightly more expensive-to-society tramp that just happens to have sponged enough to buy decent clothes.

And yes, I'm joking. But I hardly think a student is the best person to go around deciding on who contributes the most to society and who doesn't.

Yes, because students sponge off the state, paying top-up fees, paying for housing, don't they?

erm yes...
the top-up fees are nothing like enough to cover what you cost the university and ultimately the taxpayer. you pay a relatively small top up fee. the vast majority of the cost comes from your local authority- paid for by the taxpayer. for courses like medicine , over 5 years you would pay 15 grand in top-up fees. your cost to the university is about 250 grand.
is this not common knowledge?
