I will say though that I think it odd to give money to people who bring down your life. Good behaviours need to be rewarded, and bad behaviours need to be discouraged - that's how functional societies work. So to do the reverse just instinctually seems strange, I guess.

Interesting discussion!
Again, a priest said this. That's about as religious as you can get in some places.

I mean I'm probably encouraging them to freeload but I've witnessed some sick stuff so I think they deserve some joy in their life. Everyone's entitled to happiness.

Indeed!
