    Oooooh, I struck a nerve. Nerves are only struck for a reason.

    Care to share your story?

    What's your story, Bendix?

    Care to share the reason for your misogyny? Have you had a bad experience with women?

    Or were you just badly brought up?

    I think that we should not look ata it as " give that or take this"
    there should be a balance between how much people earn and how much it they leaving arrangements.
    You can't spend more than you have nowdays.

    Misogyny? How precious of you. I'm not a misogynist. I despise everyone equally.

    But my greatest wrather is for the slack-jawed, irresponsible, entitlement-driven chavs so prevalent in modern British society, be they the slappers who get knocked up to increase their benefits, or the runtish, oafish idiots who do the aforementioned knocking up.

    I admit it was a bit close to the bone, zygurat789, but it's a half decent point. I'd be very surprised if some of the tracksuit panted, obese monstrosities I see walking around with snot-covered offspring around the streets on Westbourne Grove where I live have a clue - or care - who the fathers are.

    So long as they get their benefits, they're fine.

    Do you wtite their autobiographies or do you merely know everyone's business?
    Most single mothers have been abandoned by their partners. It is them who should pay and not be allowed to "start afresh" at our expense.
    Your narrow minded view, spouting platitudes may be your opinion but it does nothing to further any argument, it merely goes to prove that Westbourne grove is the best place for you.
    The only thing that is constant is change.

    You're not worth the keystrokes really. Hit the search button if you're that curious.
    It all seems so stupid it makes me want to give up.
    But why should I give up, when it all seems so stupid ?

    Of course it's my view, you fool. What else could it be?

    And my view is as valid as yours. You might not agree with it. You might have an agenda to back - I don't know and I don't really care.

    But my blanket generalisation is no less valid than your assertion that 'most single mothers have been abandoned by their partners.'

    Do you write their autobiographies, or do you know everyone's business?
