An individual whose life has no direction; typically unemployed "chav" who spends benefit monies on cars, cigarettes, fast food and the like. Refers to a distinct subculture of the human race; individuals who are Burdens on Society are often seen as wasters and drifters in life.
Alternativley, Burdens on Society could be seen as the morbidly obese sect. These are people who, through many years of poor nutrition and food abuse, have become perhaps three times the size of normal individuals. Thus, they are less healthy as a result - and later in life being a Burden on Society, specifically the NHS.
A recently emerging sect is the Smokers - lung-related illnesses such as lung cancer, brought on by smoking.

A person, usually a friend who is a burden in a social situation. They may even slope away and hover a couple a metres away whilst you talk to someone they don't know. Also could be described as a high maintenance friend you have to look after in any social situation or occasion.
Clive is such a social burden. I was talking to Jeffrey and tried to introduce Clive, but he just looked awkward and moved a few metres away and put me under pressure to finish my conversation. It's like babysitting when you go on a night out with Clive.

In layman terms: If a person claims something is a fact, it is their buobligation to prove it. It's not the obligation of others to disprove it. This is often brought up in arguments between religious people and atheist.
Religious person: "I know for a fact that there is a God!"
Me: "Can you prove it?"
Religious person: " Well, you can't disprove it!"
Me: "That's not how it works. I'm not obligated to disprove god. You're obligated to prove the existence of God. You're the one who made the claim. If I told you that bigfoot is real, I would have to prove it to you. You wouldn't have to disprove it to me."
Atheist: "I know for a fact that there is no god!"
Me: "Can you prove it?"
Atheist "I don't have to prove a neg..."
Me "Wrong! If you claim that it is a fact that there is no god, you make it a positive. You DO now have burden of proof."
