I would say that it is unbalanced because a lot of working people would feel more aggrieved about the people who don't get out of bed in a morning (or if they do they take their kids to school in their dressing gown - been banned at a school close to me by the way), bringing down the local areas, having children who don't eat breakfast, go to bed when they want, thus causing general disruption to their classmates, these kids getting older and committing crimes, burgling people's houses etc, getting free prescriptions in the chemist, having kids to carry on that cycle (not all granted). Yes, that's why they may feel a bit more biased.
