You should have some pride in your country.
You seem to know so much about what's wrong, yet do so little to make things right.

Why? Pride widely regarded as a deadly sin.
a deadly sin? lol. Scathing.
If you read something like Martin Ford, you'll realise that the problem for the working class is the use of automation to remove dependable jobs.
Immigration is a comedy scapegoat used to distract people from this.
Besides. Why wouldn't you have some sense of pride in either:
1. your country as an entity, or
2. The citizens of your country as humans
no one 'deserves' a wage. wages are earned.
Most people don't care about folks who beg without seeing evidence of trying first.
I'm sorry caller, you appear to lack humanity.
If you believed they were humans, you'd want them to be able to live. Yet your other posts suggest you'd rather they died in penury. Make your mind up or fuck off.

Hardly getting over it.
Probably because a country isn't an entity. Bit daft having pride in something that can't and doesn't exist. Perhaps you mean they should have pride in their nation-state as an entity, but even then, what about that state would promote pride: History; politics; the Royal Family?

Humanity, empathy, the ability to breathe with their mouth closed...

I don't see why I should be proud of things like that. They exist. They aren't proud of me, and similarly I'm not proud of them.

Isn't begging enough evidence of trying? Have you ever tried begging? It's fucking harder than you think, soul destroying, humiliating, it's not all like in the sherlock holmes story, the man with the twisted lip, where yer man gets more begging than working in the city. Catch yourself on.

No; in a system in which the factors of production are owned privately by the few, and the many have no other option than compulsion to sell their labour...everyone deserves a wage.
No, I haven't "tried" begging.
I've spent my life working.

You working class hero, you.
Not trying to be a hero. Just offering an alternative view.
Besides, what's so wrong with working? Better that than being a lazy bum. What do you do?
ViolentPanda

Nothing.
Mentioning the fact that you do work for a living several times in the last month though, that's a bit ropey. Comes across like you're implying that you're somehow better than people who don't or can't work.
Nothing against those who can't work.
Those who choose not to -- yeah, I feel better than them

You're begging for attention here.

Interesting stuff.
Perhaps you'd care to expand on that belief? Better in what way(s)?

Women who choose to stay at home and raise their children for example - I suppose your 'choose not to' means choose not to be in paid work
