Why is it that those who are hard up always waste any extra penny they get??
They either smoke it, **** it up the wall, gamble it or shoot-up??
Did they get destitute by acting like this in the first place or do they not have any sense of how to hold on to money?

I was thinking the exact same thing. I mean if they really wanted to sort themselves out then they could.
most other people in the country manage it, just the sloths who are to fu7kin lazy..

Suppose they haven’t got enough money in the first place to buy or do things that interest them so they end up turning to drink, drugs or gambling to get a little pleasure/excitement out of life
I think I would do drugs

Which is a worry, if he killed your family you would not have much comeback to anyone ....... or if he paralyised you in an accident you would end up in poverty!!

With that **** B.Liar running the country you have two choices - get destitute spending it on yourself, or get destitute paying tax so they can blow it on creating new jobs in that all important department 'civil service jobs for the homeless and destitute so no-one notices that manufacturing is feked'
I think I prefer blowing it on me

Theres a tramp who begs in the city centre where i am. Hes been there as long as i can remember, at least 8 months or so.
Fair enough you might say, but then who do i come across shovelling pound after pound in the roulette machine in Corals last week?
And then he hangs around bothering people asking for 20p....
Not surprisingly he didnt get much sympathy.

I told him to fu7k himself and get a job they don't like that do they. other than that id probably be happy to give him a kicking

Not saying that I agree with it but until begging is made illegal and all homeless people burned to heat orphanages and prisons, I can't see things changing much.

Terrible, and the bloody Lib Dems are on about local income taxing, and lower income families not having to pay council tax, so they would get even lazier/stoned/pissed while we all pay for them.
I do feel sorry for them in that programme (a tiny bit), but I also strongly believe in survival of the fittest.

I can't see whats wrong with a question asking why Farmers are moaning about having to pay 30p a litre for their Diesel!? The question is a simple question and of public interest .... just because some can't accept certain questions is no reason to delete!
Anyway I'm sure I will survive
