'The man on the street' has always been a cunt
My own personal viewpoint on the world at the moment consists of anyone that actually calls themselves an anarchist should be summarily shot. Same for freegans and their like

'Freegans'? Oh no - this is a new one on me.

Are these the cunts that collect "good" food from supermarket bins?

You're thinking of 'mendicant vagrants'

Or when I was working nights at Tesco and did it.
someone with the munchies who deliberatly "throws away" doughnuts.

Hahah
One of my friends worked delivering pizzas whilst studying. He just could not help but get the orders wrong with alarming regularity. Instead of making them the pizzas they'd ordered he would accidentally make the ones he liked best. How odd.

For me that would be like working with money.
You KNOW I am going to steal whatever I can.

Basically try to consume/spend as little as possible.

Shit I need to join these chaps.

They're absolute cunts
can't stand them. They whine about people always using the same point to attack them, but can't refute it.

They wouldn't let Monty join.
Too fundamentalist for their middle of the road beliefs.

That point being?

if everyone sponged off others
rather than producing, then the big corporations and the waste they produce wouldn't be there for them to sponge off.

you can understand where they are coming from
if someone squares up to your beliefs with an irrefutable point then you aren't going to be able to refute it

Well that's fair enough,
but that's a bit of an extreme end of the argument, like saying to a vegan that if no one ate meat then all the livestock would have to be killed.

broadly true though

Yeah, but practically it's never going to happen.

(PsychoChomp, Mon 1 Aug 2011, 14:09, Reply)

Surely
"that's a good argument why not everybody should do it, but it's a shit argument for why *I* shouldn't do it"

would be enough of a refutation?

How about the argument
'it makes you a worthless sponger who should take their anarchist principles and fuck off and die.'

I'm in two minds about 'Freegans'.
On the one hand, it's a colosal waste that our supermarkets just bin stuff that they can't sale anymore, that it doesn't even end up as cattle feed or something... in the mean time, people are starving on the streets. On the other hand, most people who are 'freegans' are middle-class people from good homes with good money.
