Why do so many people have a sense of entitlement?
I was discussing this with a friend at the weekend and we couldn't really get to the bottom of it, other than perhaps it's just been a slow erosion of society and work ethic.
They don't work, but are entitled to (net) taxpayers money, so they can have things that taxpayers can't afford, to live in areas that those taxpayers can't afford, to have holidays, to not work a job they don't want to, to be entitled to an easy and well paid job. That they have "rights" that must be treated as gospel, but not any responsibilities that are tied to those rights. That rules are just for "someone else", a whole attitude that everyone else owes them a living etc.
What is the flawed mental process where people decide that they are entitled to things just because they want them? How can anyone even attempt to justify that "want" means "entitled"?
The pampered society maybe that we now live in, perhaps? With free nhs health care, dentists, sickness benefits, social security benefits etc. I would say the attitudes that you are referring to started when the government started to spoon feed people.
Balls. You claim benefits. You're obviously pampered on them. Give them up for people who need them - and go get a bloody job! People like you make me sick. You moan about the pampered society. And meanwhile, you live off the taxes I pay.

Your morals are obviously based upon an enforced sense of 'will to power' entitlement, with ethics that are dubious in that you in part understand what you do, but you do not comprehend your statements or wholly the position or reasoning of others.
Consider firstly for instance that commanding someone to get a job that involves having to bleed, shows little comprehension of what slavery involves, and why so much work still yet has to be done in order to phase it out ~ wage slavery for instance.
Consider secondly that you are psychologically and physiologically able to work, and pay your taxes, in so much as you do in being one of 74% from about 66 million people in the UK. You were not able though during the writing of your post to distinguish laziness from psychological and physiological exhaustion as being a disability, and the psychological fragmentation involved with which ~ i.e. Autistic Black and White Thinking as involves contradiction.
Along with your use of base and thus offensive language, you were contravening the 2010 Equality Act (which legally protects people from discrimination in the workplace and in wider society) as is being addressed here of course.
Consider for instance Autism ~ involving Social Communication, Imagination and Interaction difficulties ~ as being a protected characteristic against:
1.) direct discrimination - treating someone with a protected characteristic less favourably than others
2.) indirect discrimination - putting rules or arrangements in place that apply to everyone, but that put someone with a protected characteristic at an unfair disadvantage
3.) harassment - unwanted behaviour linked to a protected characteristic that violates someone’s dignity or creates an offensive environment for them
4.) victimisation - treating someone unfairly because they’ve complained about discrimination or harassment
Keep secure in mind as the expression goes, "There are more things in heaven and [on] earth Horatio, than are dreamt of in your philosophy" as applies to each and everyone of us. Therefore when you do not understand something someone has written here, nor then the factors involved with so doing, point out what does not make sense to you in a respectful and informative manner, and as such do no harm.
