    You can hear me? Do you have one of those *special* computers that change text into words, for the hard of...erm... reading?
    All over the place, from the popular culture to the propaganda system, there is constant pressure to make people feel that they are helpless, that the only role they can have is to ratify decisions and to consume.

    Not sure his/her head would fit (due to the enlarged brain of course).

    I have a different motivation to why I want benefits cut, its not about saving money to me, its about stopping giving money to people who don't deserve it.

    You will find voluntary work doesn't have to cause problems with paid staff. All the things I have done locally haven't replaced a paid worker but helped them with my skills to make things better, basically creating work for myself to make things better, not to replace somebody. An example is I film the shows for local schools, full on job with multiple cameras etc and then only charge the school for materials, basically the schools make a bit of money selling them and the children love the results (seem amazed they get scrolling credits with there names). Now in this case I am not taking anybodies job as it just would never get done, I am raising money for local schools and making 100s of children happy.

    Yet you say say there should be less people like me in the country :rotfl:

    I'm assuming most of this was a reply to me, although you quoted someone else?

    I don't think you actually read, never mind thought about the response you were given. At no poiont did I say YOUR voluntary work you ALREADY undertake is threatening jobs. I SAID your IDEA to FORCE the army of unemployed to undertake quite a considerable number of hours of voluntary work would be unworkable for several reasons, one of which being that it could encourage the abuse of this free labour (which could impact on jobs), and even increase unemployement. You asked for my response, but have failed to address anything I actually wrote.

    No I just did what you do, you said voluntary work could affect paid work, so I assumed you meant every voluntary position would affect paid workers based on your comment so proved you wrong despite it the fact it was half my assumption of what you actually meant.

    I am saying that we could find work for them, they could do the peoples gardens for people who live nearby as they don't have time because they are working to pay tax to pay there benefits.

    My point is this country could be great if everybody did there bit, I do my bit and then some while other do f all, that is what I want to end.

    Not content with aborting the babies of poor people. Now he wants his own personal pet poor unemployed person to labour on his garden for him.

    I'm also pretty sure slavery is illegal too. :rotfl::rotfl::rotfl::rotfl:

    I never said anything about abortion, yet again you assume things.

    We both know that, It just amusing me that he keeps saying we are wrong but won't say what is right.

    Anyway where is my colourful (and professional) reply to 510 Mr Deepmistrust?

    I was looking forward to it.


    Probably had to go and do his homework.
