    Why don't dole claimers work for the community?

    it's only the minority who are disruptive, giving them a shock ie making them work away from the family and friends can change people. i'm not saying put people who dont want to be in the army incharge of weapons systems or on the front line. I agree that would be counter productive, but i'm...
