[quote=monkeyman;1928037]Rerun, I do understand your frustration with people who try and take advantage and who are constantly trying to get something for nothing. Unfortunately, there are way too many people who feel they are entitled, and the way our safety net is set up in Canada, we practically encourage this idea. While most people are good people, I think our system invites the type of people both within Canada and from abroad into Canada, who won't hesitate to abuse the system or take advantage of any situation.[/quote]

With all due respect, what the heck are you talking about? What safety net? Are you describing our social safety net? So are you saying that I can offer 40% of asking price because if I don't get it, I'll just go on welfare?
