Being grateful for not living a 3rd world shanty town ravaging through rubbish to make ends meet?

Siiighhhh what has this country become? It once used to be great, now its inhabitants have to shut up and put up, simply grateful that they are not living in some dump in Dhaka!!!!!

Constant bleating about how an average FTB now has to wait an extra 8 years, or whatever, before they can buy a house is starting to sound like spoilt children with entitlement issues now. A little perspective from time to time might help.

And as for having to put up and shut up - have you not been here before? We moan about everything regardless of not living in Dhaka.

We moan if its Sunny, we moan if its raining. Welcome to the UK - God save the Queen.

I'm not sure anybody is saying shut up and put up with it, but moaning on a small Internet forum and blaming previous generations is not going to change much.

Do people not see the social problems its causing with people not being able to afford housing?

You have areas where nobody gives a **** as its not there house, you have Chavs breeding more Chavs to get bigger houses while the workers who will pass on the working ethic to children are delaying having children as they can't afford a house.

Social problems are to do with poor education, lack of employment and high crime, not the inability to buy a house. Jeez get a grip.

..but my neighbours have a double garage and I have to slum it with a single.

Can you not see the inequality? It makes me want to go on the rampage or have 15 kids.

My parents finally got a house with a double garage, now in their 50s. However it is currently half filled with boxes, and half filled with an aura of space around my dad's Harley.

I'd prefer not to whinge about the social and economic injustices that I see taking place in front of my eyes with the full support of every government.
I prefer to do what the French, Spanish, Greek citizen does and go on strike until I make those politicians realise we are not just sheep.

But it takes more than just me. As long as the vast majority are happy to shut up and put up nothing will change.

That wasn't my exact point, my point is people like myself are putting off have children longer until we can afford a home for them, this means the generation gap is getting longer in the working population.

Meanwhile the average chav is dropping a kid every year form the age of 16 to get more benefits/bigger houses.

So due to us workers having to wait longer for housing we are having less children while the none workers are breeding like rabbits.

Yes the chavs will carry on while the government keeps rewarding them for it, but the other side is the none chav breed of people are reproducing a lot slower meaning the ratios of chav to human are getting worse by the day.

So no house prices have nothing to do with chavs, but they have a lot to do with the human population how can't keep up with them on the breeding front.

I would say the problem with your argument is that if you still have the same amount of children only later it will not effect the ratio.
