Snob!
Just because someone didn't go to a posh school doesn't make them a "thieving pikey brat". You look down on decent ordinary people who haven't spent their childhood being buggered in the dorm. Typical middle class wannabe.

Er
I'm pretty sure the 'theiving pikey brat' comment is directed towards people who went to NO school and suck money out of the system, not just those who didn't go 'posh'.

yeah
But that's just generalising in the exactly the same way. Is everyone who didn't go to school abusing the system? Is everyone on benefits abusing the system?

Same mentality, different prejudice.

Not really.
There are indeed those who sponge off the system. The woman from Wifeswap a couple of years back being a case in point. Some people do work hard but find themselves placed on a backburner in a system designed more to cater getting everyone through at the expense of the best and brightest.

My Dad..
receives Disability Living Allowance because he was told he couldn't work any longer after being diagnosed with asbestos-related lung disease.

He worked six or seven days a week for 30+ years in a job that nearly killed him (he was registered disabled after an accident in 1981, but continued to work his full workload for a further 15 years). So, no, I don't think that everyone on benefits is a pikey. I do, however, think that those who believe in geting knocked-up at 16 gives them a right to a free house and a cushy lifestyle with no work are scum and if the state is paying for their breeding programme, then maybe the state should control it, too - if I can't afford to raise 7 kids, I won't have 7 kids, so why should the chavs who are viewing kids as paycheques and whose offspring will soon be stealing my TV?

My dad grew up in a council house after the war and, because of this, worked hard to get away from that lifestyle, and owned his own house from the age of 25. I applaud his efforts and those of the people like him who sought to make their lot better. I have zero sympathy for the scroungers, spongers and ne-er-do-wells who think that the world owes them a living, however.

Oh, and how many of the pikeys who won millions on the lottery have done something to benefit the society that paid for their council house, I wonder...?

Your username is oddly appropriate.
However, personal jibes aside, please provide an actual quote as to where he did this?

SOHB
Citation needed. WTF?

Oh and as for your threats of physical violence, anyone can be hard infront of a computer moniter, I am most evenings...

Once again

It seems I've ruffled your dear little feathers. I didn't actually threaten physical violence, nor am I an enraged keyboard warrior staying up all night. I'm assuming SOHB means sense of humour bypass... not at all. In fact I would say it applies to you more than me.

I disagree
Firstly, my original remark was tongue in cheek.

Secondly, you completely failed to notice my reference to wanking.

Oh I noticed it
I just decided it didn't merit comment.

It wasn't very tongue in cheek though was it

(Bazongaloid, Wed 15 Oct 2008, 18:46, closed)

Well
There are two options: either it was tongue in cheek or I'm so thick that I can read something, misinterpret it, have a rant and drop in some insults to boot. Actually I have a history of doing just that and no one ever gets it but it makes me chuckle.

I'm not saying you didn't
intend it to be tongue in cheek, but it didn't come across that way. It read as though you had read something, misinterpreted it, had a rant and dropped in some insults to boot.

If your going for satire in a written format, you've got to push it so far that everyone has to either assume you're joking or your the biggest cunt in the world.
(Bazongaloid, Wed 15 Oct 2008, 19:25, closed)

I think
alot of people make the second assumption but I've made a few people laugh along the way. Cheers for the tip, will try harder, either that or put a ;-) after every post.

By the way...
I'm not a middle-class wannabe - I am, by any definition (qualified professional, married, public-school education, university degree, high income, car owning, living in rural market town) middle class, or even upper-middle class, depending on which edition of the Guardian you happen to be basing your allegations on...

I didn't insult anyone, unlike you - why the personal attack, unless you feel things got a bit close to home?
