    But I'm finding out who people are on here fairly quickly. Generali is nice.

    Most people are much ruder on the internet than they are in real life. For me it's the other way round.

    I think this is pretty funny:

    Yes, he believes in peace so much that he was given a "nobel award" for it.

    Despite inflaming the war in Afghanistan, starting a war in Pakistan, re-endorsing the policy of imprisonment without trial and continuing to sanction the torture of unconvicted prisoners.

    And he wants to help the little people so much that he continues to employ the very same people that Bush used to shaft us and lead the western world into financial and social oblivion.

    Fanf*ckingtastic.

    He did more for peace with a single speech in Egypt than any politician in the last ten years.

    At least he talks a good frakking game.

    Look at our lot.

    No it seriously isn't.

    He is a decent man doing his best and I want one of those for us.

    They dont need to be always right, they dont need to be perfect, they just need to be trying to do something other than line their own pockets or boost their own ego.

    We keep doing what we have always done and we deserve what we have always gotten

    I hate the patriotic card, it is so American but I honestly believe the British people are the fairest, most long suffering SOBs on the planet.

    I know there are umpteen millions of people worse off than me. I just really resent that a great many of them are children and living on the same island as I am.

    This should not be what I am taxed to the hilt for.

    Nearly New scoffed at my mentioning Obama but at least he believes in something and is doing his level best to improve things.

    All we seem to have is a bunch of second raters interested only in self advancement

    Dude, you really dont know what you are talking about. Really really dont know.

    Having been to a fair few of the sh*tholes infesting this planet, I can reassure you that our little darling children of UK, even in the most 'poverty' stricken home in the UK, has a vastly superior life to billions of children on this planet.

    Even though my wife and I earn close to 60K between us and have a healthy deposit we can't buy anything half decent in the south east where we live. On the flipside we know people on benefits living in Brand new houses worth up to 350K. I also spoke to someone the other day who turned down a job because when they worked it out they were better off on benfit!

    I'm all for helping the disabled and the unfortunate. I'm also all for paying higher taxes for a better NHS and education system. The problem is there are too many lazy chancers in this country and its about time GB and the rest of the government realised theres not enough money to waste on all the chancers.

    Just like a drug addict who cant accept they need to go through cold turkey to sort themselves out GB and the rest of Labour seem to not understand that the bigger the high the bigger the comedown.

    We as a country need to accept any recovery is going to painful.

    Dude I know exactly what I am talking about but I am selfish f*u*c*k*e*r.

    Me and mine first.

    That means exactly what it says. My family comes first for me and then my extended family next. That includes the child three streets down and the one in a tower block in Peckham.

    Once they are sorted out I will look to the rest.

    I only have a finite income. Let me see to those I consider my responsibilty before I tackle wider problems

    You go girl.

    And don't take no !!!!!! off anyone pretending to look out for you when all they are doing is lining their own pockets.
