POPSDon't have children unless you can pay for them Neither No 10 nor the Treasury slapped Mr Hunt down over his comments, which re-focused the debate on tackling welfare dependency rather than the furore over stay-at-home middle class mothers losing child benefit. Nearly 100,000 people on benefits have four or more children, with more than 900 claimants having at least eight. The figures have been seized on by those who claim Labour’s benefits culture has created a ‘Shameless generation’, with large families having rents of up to £1,000-a-week paid by the state. Last night Philip Davies, Tory MP for Shipley, said: ‘I am 100 per cent behind what Jeremy Hunt has said. ‘Many hard-working people save up before having children, so those who sit at home and do nothing shouldn’t expect taxpayers to pick up the tab for their alternative lifestyle.’

POPSNiceness - A substitute for goodness?
" the word "nice" is often used as a synonym for "good," as when someone compliments a man for being "a nice guy." But a world of difference separates the bland quality of being "nice" from the Christian virtue of charity and the virtue of justice. While it is relatively easy to be "nice," charity and justice are exacting and demanding. Anyone can be nice -- that is, easygoing, non-threatening, non-judgmental, and tolerant. A nice person never criticizes or judges; a nice person avoids confrontations and arguments; a nice person does anything and everything to keep peace and make life comfortable for everyone. He hears no evil and sees no evil. A nice person never insists on virtue or ever questions the prevalent practices and trends of the day. A nice person never feels outraged at shameless behavior or shocking injustice. While being nice easily leads to popularity and respectability and never creates enemies, it does not inspire admiration, cultivate heroism, or evoke respect.'
