    To which when we later decide to play your personal insults game you don't like it.

    huh? Personal insults? LMAO, don't mistake me laughing at you for using banal "insults" as actually really considering them insults. I take it my last post went right over your head when I called them "inane"?

    When we mis-quote or assume things you say/mean we are idiots, yet you are highly intelligent for it.

    More meaningless wittering. You are idiots for many reasons. Don't assume (see what I did there) that you are idiots just for assuming.


    Either way you still haven't replied to 510, I said this is what I would do, what would you do?... to which you said I was all wrong but didn't say what you would do.

    510? Yes I have, the reply is in 519. Do you need an eye test?

    Basically you keep saying points made by others are wrong, but your not actually making any points yourself.

    Again, eye test?

    Should have gone to spec savers :rotfl:

    Could you therefore go and answer the direct questions put to you in 519, which was the reply you were begging for to 510.

    Thanks

    OK, you're wearing out the word bigot - you've already demostrated your lack of understanding to what one is. And you call me repetitive? Hahaha:rotfl:

    I gave you the definition, which you ignored because it described you perfectly.

    Seriously, there are numerous unanswered questions up there,

    So all of your rants are the questions? Well if you look at just about everyone of your rants, the thing that follows it is usually the answer to your question.

    no one will notice you're avoiding them.

    What has been avoided?

    You are not posting anything new, you are just arguing and ranting on.......

    Looking at 519, all I see is your red writing saying I am wrong. I will put this simply for you. My policys on the benefits would be:

    -Child related benefits are only applicable on the first 3 children.

    -Benefits should be changed so you NEVER have more money than some who works and is in the same situation. You should have enough for warn accommodation, food and water, anything else should be earned.

    -Child trust funds are stopped (already done thank god)

    -In poor families expecting a baby if they need help with afford needed items they will be given the items which will be a standard setup of basic but functional items, no money passed over.

    -WTC's can stay to help those on lower incomes but are still doing there bit.

    -All able bodied unemployed people should do at least 8 hours of community service/charity work a week, failure to do so without good reason results in a 50% reduction in that weeks benefits.

    -All EMA is scrapped, you should be in higher education because you want to be, not as a stop gap of money until you are 18 and collect a proper dole.

    Now ignore my clearly rubbish policies (in your mind) and come up with what you think this country should do, this doesn't involve trident or bankers getting paid too much (yes other problems which need sorting).

    So what would you do? don't quote me, make you own post with your own policies on the benefits system.

    In fairness, talking to you is as productive as taking to a goldfish. You have no enlightened view to put forward. You have a lack of truth and facts upon which your beliefs are based, instead continually whining that your only posting your opinion, yet in the same whine state the false facts that make up your opinion.

    All you have done on here is whine about how people measure up how well off they'll be if they're on benefits, then whine when then go for the 16 hour job - to guarantee childcare/WTC.

    Quite funny considering this this snippet I found when I clicked on your profile:

    https://forums.moneysavingexpert.com/discussion/2196329

    "Hi,

    I am just after a bit of advice or hints on where to look to find out what benefits we may be entitled to.

    Basically, my partner had our 2nd child in Mar 09, she has been on maternity until Dec 09 and now gone back to work Jan 10.

    Our first child is 5 and in school.

    Previously she was full time, now she has gone back part time only working 16 hours pw.

    The household income is now less than £25,000.

    I just need a few pointers on what we may now be entitled to and where to start looking.

    We get tax credits and have kept them upto date with circumstance changes, but are there any other things we should or could be claiming?

    People have said we may be entitled to things like school dinners, heating allowances, but I really don't know anything about this myself.

    Thanks for any help. "

    Now as someone who has benefited from the childcare rule himself - by his partner reducing her hours to 16 (not 15, because then you wouldn't be entitled ;)). I do find the hypocrisy hilarious.

    Using your own logic here, if you're looking for benefits help - why did she reduce her hours? Cos you knew the benefits man might help ya out ?;)

    Are you joking? Did you miss the huge question at the end? I've answered you in full, under each *ahem* "policy" (LMAO) you've produced.

    I'm not stupid enough to think I can rewrite the benefits system. :rotfl:

    Give it a go, you are intelligent enough. Just imagine you are the priminister right now and you have to setup the whole system. what would you do?

    Yet again you just keep saying I am wrong but don't have an answer yourself, I am not letting this drop. Its your turn to post then i can question what you are thinking. Its only fair.

    I fail to see the relevance of any of the topics you have asked for an opinion on but here is what I think of them (if only to stop you bleating on):
    Btw, just out of interest, what do you think about the following REAL wastes of money/scroungers etc?

    David Laws
    And MP's expenses in light of recent events.

    An absolute disgrace. But I do think some things were blown out of proportion.

    I did look at my local MPs expenses out of interest, office expenses and things along those lines included secretary and staff wages for the local office. I can agree with things like that.

    MPs getting tvs, tv licences, second homes, and the rest paid for is absurd.

    But going by your logic, they were claiming what they were entitled to, so they weren't actually doing anything wrong.

    Trident


    I would rather have a nuclear capability in our forces than not have one. Even if it is just their to act as a deterrent, I would rather be safe than sorry.

    I admit I know barely nothing about this, but have heard the stuff going on in places like Korea, Iran, etc. all just about becoming capable of making nuclear weapons.

    The billions spent on immoral or illegal wars of aggression
    (and the subsequent billions dollar deals being snapped up by the likes of Exxon Mobile and BP)

    Again, depends on which perspective you view it from. I bet all those Iraqis who were suppressed under Saddam Hussein would disagree with you.

    However, I can see the point about the western profiteering too.

    Bank bailouts that never actually helped out either the small business or the people that needed help


    I think it was all too big a coincidence that it happened at the same time as the bank charges case, even though the payout from that would only have been a drop in the ocean compared to what the banks did.

    However, at the end of the day if the banks weren't bailed out, the situation would have been a lot worse if the banks had been allowed to go bankrupt.

    Bankers bonuses funded by government bailouts (i.e .Fred Goodwin)


    Again another disgrace, the people own a big chunk of these banks now, so why do we still have no say on how they are run?
    ?


    Has that answered your current gripes?

    The point you are repeatadly missing, is that despite the need of a few tweaks, the principle upon which the benefit system is based, I wouldn't change. So why on earth would I write a list like yours which wants to bring back slavery so I can use unemployed neighbours to cut my grass, and abort the pregnancy of people I think are pregnant for "wrong reasons"?
