To throw it out there, I hate the welfare state in Britain and am so against most welfare in the country. If a person who is 16 can work then they should. That goes up to the age of 65.
Would that include people in further education (i.e. 6th form or Uni)? Even people persuing degrees that would not make them more marketable in regards to the workplace? Should people not have freedom to do what they want with their lives, even if that includes not working (for whatever reason)? Going further, should dedicated stay-at-home housewives (without children) be forced into work?

(Thank you for shortening xD)

Yes, even if you only working for a few hours a week. It's better than nothing. No, I don't believe so. If you are able to work then you should be because society revolves around everyone working together.

You have me there, though. It depends really on what they actually do at home and of course, that's too hard to monitor.

Some of the questions are better but it's a pain in the arse when they ask you how you feel about 2 things in the same question, an example being, "Do you think that euthanasia and suicide should be legal?". I agree with one but not the other.
But the one is just medically assited suicide so they are both suicide :really_makes_you_think:

Actually no. Euthanasia can be committed under both medical and normal terms of suicide where ever you are in the world, for example if you wanted to die or needed help in committing suicide; your friend can just grab a gun and shoot you at anytime, or a medical reason like your friend pressing the off switch on a life-support machine at anytime  to turn off life support, so you can slowly die. However either way, that would be classed as murder and that person who assisted you in euthanasia will be charged with the same charges as a murderer. The only time euthanasia is legal is when the government medically allows a person to die or turn off life-support in certain cases like if you're terminally ill or fully paralysed, then the government will allow it in certain cases.
 
Face it, euthanasia is still the same as suicide no matter what. Even when you think it's more to do with medical terms, euthanasia can still happen outside of government relation and hospitals themselves.

It's not though. Euthanasia is LEGAL suicide whereas suicide is illegal (or that's how it should be). To me, euthanasia makes sense because the person isn't able to live anymore. Suicide however, is done by people who can still work. They should be working to help the economy, not ending their life because they are down. Everyone can become depressed sometimes in their life, you need to fight through it. Not give up and let others suffer because of your lack of self-motivation.

I'm sorry, I won't admit that they are the same. They are the same in concept but done for different reasons. 
Saying that suicidal people are being selfish for removing themselves from the workforce is pretty heartless.

It's not heartless at all. It's selfish not to help the economy that others are working for. Why should the majority suffer because of a few?
It certainly is. Nobody is choosing to be suicidal, by your logic should we also force the elderly and children to work, lest they take more from society than they give?

Anyway, you might be able to make the case for it being a good utilitarian idea, but I don't see how you can claim that it's not a heartless proposal.

To throw it out there, I hate the welfare state in Britain and am so against most welfare in the country. If a person who is 16 can work then they should. That goes up to the age of 65.

While I see that it is ethically wrong to propose it, I am for it. Just like I am for the death penalty, I guess.

I thought you UKIP nerds kept wanting to make more jobs, so if someone kills themselves then good news, job available, stop being a dick. But for real though, if someone has gotten to the point of suicide then it's a major thing, not just a little upset about things, and they need help, or are the concepts of emotions and compassion too difficult for you? If I was told how selfish and lazy I was for wanting to kill myself back when I genuinely did, that's helping nobody, and would've probably pushed me over the edge.

Ergo: Shut up.

Firstly, my UKIP membership should be taken lightly. Just because I'm in the party doesn't mean I believe in everything they stand for. Even what you said though counters itself, the job is already taken. I was in the same position when I was younger, I understand what it's like to have those emotions. I powered through it though, it took over a year but I came out of it and now I'm happier than ever. I understand, of course that wanting to commit suicide is not just a phase but it's something everyone can get past in their own way. Alright, I have no problem with taking time off work to sort problems but like I say, these things don't take a week. That's why you have to deal with it, just power through.

Suicide however, is done by people who can still work. They should be working to help the economy, not ending their life because they are down. Everyone can become depressed sometimes in their life, you need to fight through it. Not give up and let others suffer because of your lack of self-motivation.

out of all the retarded sh** i've seen on gtm, this is probably the most retarded

Opinions are great, aren't they?

Does this have much use other than making statues?

Even if it didn't this is still impressive.

Maybe I'm just being picky but for an official tournament, should we really be using silly music?

Seeing how you're doing is only an issue if you start lying to get certain results. I like it cuz the questions are better.

Seeing how I'm so into politics, I feel like I need to stick to the best side. It's hard to ignore. (Found a fix, just delete the header)

You were all bamboozled.



Was the original but then I blew it up because it was tiny. Ironically, I learnt about raster images being blown up in college the day after I did it and realised the quality drop.

Shall make the splash much better next time, I have learnt a lot from this.

Thanks guys for at least getting me 7 votes on my first time, hehe.

Not bad, just a few kinks here and there with some.
