That does not mean one can sit on his or hers lazy arse. You have to proof that you look for a job and you have to do something back like cleaning the streets or help out at a school or retirement home.
This is exactly what should be done in countries such as Canada and the United States. But what happening there is that people collect all the welfare checks, and stay at home or drug joints to experiment with various synthetic drugs and prescription pills. If they are forced to do community service, then they will spend less time in using drugs.
