Re: CHAVS!!

Sorry Stu. I take offence to that comment. While it may be true that there are a large percentage of scum who fall into that "social class", it's unfair to lable all single parent families as such. Just like it is to lable all 4x4 drivers just because one idiot churns up a "footpath".

I'm from a single parent family. My parents split up when I was 11 (I'm 30 now) and I stayed with my mum. She worked hard to keep me and my brother fed/homed and on the striaght and narrow, and I would like to think that she did a good job. I have never been in trouble with the law (with the exception of a speeding offence).

Let me guess, every other word was "innit"

Yes I did take a look at this site and it was enlightening, actually I'm kind of glad I don't feel alone.

Actually the phrase that shone through as most intelligible was "Ya nar wot I min"..

Sadly that was problem, I just didn't......

When I was in the Swedish Air Force I found that while a lot of them were waving the guns about, cheering, and so on when they were issued, we were all royally sick of lugging the bloody things about by the time we got any live ammunition....

Presumably you prefer the British thugs and pimps then?

Frankly I couldn't care less who comes into this country, but if they expect to work, they can pay NI and not receive state benefits until they've accumulated enough NI. All of our neighbouring countries are developed countries where the people suffer little in the form of persecution, so we should be turning some of Asylum seekers back - you're supposed to seek asylum in the first country you come to.

As for Europe, well some of the stuff they've done is good, some is bad. The European Court of Human Rights is a good thing as has been some of the stuff they've forced upon us (us with our Victorian values in some cases), but not all of it is good. Personally, I've benefited more than I've lost.

I'm all for open borders, society without cash where everyone is equal and not found wanting for the basics in life. I'm also for harsh punishment and legislation driven by logical thought not irrational fears (there's no need for stricter gun laws - give the police the money to enforce them instead!).

Oh, and someone shoot Bush. :) You know, we're not as bad off as people think. I've seen the crap out in the US with their "perfect" capitalist society. I have a friend who can't afford the treatment for her MS, can't work because of it, but isn't allowed MediCare (state healthcare) because they reckon she can work more than 4 hours per week. So she sits there and suffers. Nice.

Yeah well you won't believe this, I was in the back of my landie with a plastic step out the back which I use to get in an out (the nice aluminium one having been nicked some while ago) when one of the local kids just helped himself to it and started walking away as if it was finders keepers.

Needless to say I made sure he put it back again.

You'd know one if you saw one and theres too many of them round here.

I find in these circumstances it is helpful to one's sense of personal well-being to ask if they are conversant with the Siamese national anthem. If not, explain carefully, then walk away smiling inwardly...

It's the Zen of one hand clapping, sort-of.

One has to stress the historical aspect for the best effect.
