I’ll bite.

I’m not winding up anyone. People are only winding up themselves for what is last week’s news.

Spending money on alcohol is good for the economy. People like me keep bar staff in jobs.

Just remember that cleaning jobs and other ‘menial jobs’ are the product of other people’s laziness. People can’t be ar[is[/ied to clean so they pay someone else a few quid to do it for them. People can’t be ar[is[/ied to cook food so they pay a chef to do a meal for them. I could go on all day.

Oh and the taxpayers mantra is getting so old now. If you don’t want to pay your taxes because by doing so it gives someone else a couple of quid then f[iu[/ick off to the Cayman Islands. Oh wait you can’t because you’re not clever enough to do so. The outspoken taxpayers brigade are just as whingey as the unemployed when it comes to moaning about things. Look no further for proof on this thread. But one group of people is demonised more than the other.

Oh and I’ll be keeping a low profile for a while because I have got work to do. It’s called getting an idea off the ground that has been backed by the deputy PM along with a bunch of other people who have a lot of faith in me. I’d rather not let them down and would rather be letting down the outspoken self-righteous pr[ii[/icks on here who are obsessing over the most minute of problems.

Peace.

Your mouth must be full, because that was a big bite hahahaha

It's got nothing to do wiht paying someone else a couple of quid. It's because our taxes should be used on something we also benefit from, i.e. Hospitals, Policing, Education, Pensions, etc. If there was no shortage in those areas, then good luck to your couple of quid.

Your sort of comment is exactly the very reason why they should split the amount of tax that workers pay into two, with one part for the government as they choose to spend it (as they do now for the whole amount), and the other part a choice to be made each month by the tax payer as to how he would like it splitting (between which areas).

You will find if that option was taken, you wouldn't have the choice of deciding what jobs are menial or which are not.

I know that I have to pay taxes and do so willingly. The taxes I pay help support this country with it's Armed forces, public health service, roads, parks, bin collection, etc. Although I may not like having to give away what I see as a large percentage of my earned income, I simply do so because I know the without taxes we'd be living in a 3rd world country.

I also believe that we should have a welfare state system to help look after and support the most vulnerable and deprived in our society. What narks me is when that system is abused by lazy, idle, indolent, work shy spongers who believe that is their God given right to extract money from a system they have not or have no intention of paying into.

What narks me even more is when said spongers turn around and Lord it up about not having to work and 'what an easy life I have'. To me these people are thieves, steeling money from those who really need it. They are one step away from out and out benefit cheats - they know full well that they could get a job if they could be really bothered but why should they when they have it so easy.

The payments that are made by the welfare state should be used to help those that need it most and not those who intend on p[sizei[/sizessing it against the wall.

Absolutely appalling post, it's difficult to know where to start! Yes tax payers are allowed to moan about the system because we pay into it and aren't lazy excuse making scroungers, YOU PR1CK! I have someone close to me whose just like you and it winds me up no end. Oh and the bit about people's laziness creating jobs, what's your point?! They can be as lazy as they like in their leisure time as they've EARNT their money, and that's the difference.

Damo, out of intrest, why didn't you ever go to university?

I was all consumed (my Asperger’s probably fuelled the obsession) with conspiracy theories for a good couple of years and it led me down a very lazy path. Thankfully someone bough me out of it and I’ve been on the path back to ‘normality’ ever since. Anyhow I’ve seen sense and I’m going to apply to do a journalism course next year. I could have applied this year but I want to complete this podcast project first and get my ‘act together’.

I’ve got two people who are really helping me with things so I’ll be fine.

Fair enough. I just wanted to see if you were using your aspergers as an excuse. I'm glad you didn't. There were a couple of great lads I knew at Trinity who got good degrees despite having it.

If you want to do journalism, I would say Leeds Trinity is perfect for you.

I went to Leeds uni, but attended trinity and all saints (as it was then for a few modules) thought it was a great university, seemed a bit more personal being fairly small, not as intimidating maybe as a bigger university and in nice setting

Poxy crap excuses

Just run this by me one more time...

You start a thread called "kick me whilst I'm down".

And then when people do just that, you start huffing and puffing and foot stomping ?

Have I got this right so far ?

Every person in the world has a tolerance breaking point. All I’ve done is ate up all the usual undue criticism on here and spat back out. I did things my way. However I acknowledge that I’ve been really immature about this and I’ve deserved every response I’ve got in this thread. Certainly one to forget.

A straight answer would be: Yes.

Well write this down in the notebook under your pillow - "don't ask people to kick me when I'm down unless I want to be kicked when I'm down, because, chances are, they'll kick me when I'm down"

Now have cake.

Victoria Sponge I think is in order on this occasion I'd say.
