You may be right I may be feeling negative, to hear your suggestion that jobseekers deliberately hinder their own progress I find personally insulting.

Where precisely did I say that jobseekers deliberately hinder their own progress... I stated no such thing.
I do believe that there is an
element of those seeking jobs, who expect it all to land in their lap and who 'create obstacles' in them gaining employment. I do feel that there are those in society who do bleat that there are no jobs available - when they really don't do a great to help themselves - just as I am sure there are those who do try hard and long, with no success.
My point is that there appears to be this view overall that 'people just cannot get work' - when I don't feel that's a true view. I have that right to that opinion - just as you have a right to disagree with it.
Why you should find that insulting is beyond me unless you are taking that personally. Understandably it may be an emotional topic for you and if you find it's a subject that is affecting you on such a level, perhaps then it's one of those topics that is best you don't become too involved in. However, your own feelings should not override the right for others to debate the topic.
It doesn't invalidate the right to the discussion.
