    I wish people would forget about "The economy" helping them out.

    100 years ago it was all about the 'Haves' and the 'Have nots'.
    Today it's about the 'Haves and the 'Have nots'.
    100 years from now it will be about the 'Haves' and the 'Have nots'

    Decide which you want to be.

    Yes - except that the proportion of 'Haves' has increased massively compared to how things were a hundred years ago, even though the self-proclaimed 'have nots' would deny it.

    I have no idea whether the proportion of 'Haves' have changed or not.

    The point I make is I am doing everything that I can to be one of them. If I don't make it, it will be my fault, no-one else's.

    There are too many people on this forum waiting for 'something' to help them out.

    Thats the first time youve said anything worthy of commenting on!

    Sometimes people need help though

    Say your mam fell over and broke her leg and the bone was sticking out of her shin......would you not help her?

    Cos shed be 'waiting for help' ;)

    You and anyone who believes the nonsense you wrote?

    Will you not be offering an explanation then as to why these and hundreds of other houses like them are boarded up?
