Do You Think “Drug Addicts” and “Fat People” Should Be Entitled to Incapacity Benefits?
Question by Webmaster G: Do you think “drug addicts” and “fat people” should be entitled to incapacity benefits?
I personally think that for such people, it’s a fault they brought on themselves:
(1) druggies continue to use drugs after taking that first hit…
(2) fat or obese people keep buying fatty food or eating disproportionate amounts which help keep them fat.
What do you think? Should they be allowed to claim incapacity benefits? Or is there an alternative way of thinking i.e. a way to keep blessing them with tax payers money and therefore keep their bad habits alive? The govt. already showered those bad investment bankers with tax money and they haven’t changed one bit… maybe it’s all f***ed up.

My Knee Makes a Small “pop/crack” Sound?
Question by Jsdfia: My knee makes a small “pop/crack” sound?
About 4-5 years ago when I was in high school, I was at playground with friends and jumped off something onto the ground and I felt something weird in my left knee but it didn’t hurt or anything. I’m 22 now. Over recent years, every time I bend my left leg, it makes a small “pop”, kinda like when you crack your knuckles. It doesn’t hurt or bother me in any way. But I also noticed that my left leg is shorter than my right. Is this affecting my growth? And could it affect my leg in other ways as I get older?

Why Do I Feel Guilty When I Masturbate but Not When I Have Sex?
Question by biomedic78: Why do I feel guilty when I masturbate but not when I have sex?
I am a heterosexual male. When I’m not getting laid regularly I masturbate and feel guilty about it afterwards. I feel like I have offended God and then I get depressed and it’s a downward spiral. I start thinking about how crapy everything is and get into a funk. However, when I have sex regularly, I don’t masturbate so I don’t feel guilty for that. I don’t feel guilty about having premarrital sex either. Everything seems great until I realize I don’t like the relationship anymore and want out. That’s never fun and if it takes a while to start a new relationship, it’s back to masturbation and depression. What gives?
