Ok. I went to Edinburgh at the weekend and happened to end waiting for a train for 40 minutes or so. A friend and I were commenting on the people around and got thinking. We see so many groups of people from the lower classes, particularly those described in other threads as neds, chavs etc. Where the hell do they get these apparently brand new white clothes from? They cost a fortune.
The only conclusion that we could draw is that their fat lazy parents are sitting at home giving them half the money they get from the state, be it for disability benefit or the like. Why not cut off social security altogether, let people apply again, and then send people from good backgrounds, like most of the people here, round to their houses to find out how they live. If we think they are making an effort, give them some help, otherwise tell them how useless they are and to get off their fat arses and get a job - call centres don't require much intelligence, or good physique come to think of it.
After all, it is our money and our parent's money that they're spending on cigarettes and copies of the Daily Record, shouldn't we have some say in what they spend it on? Or why not just give them food and clothes instead of money? No more squandering of money would happen that way.
And a second thing. They are the people having children. Why aren't any better people having children? Why does it have to be these degenerates producing more thieves and drug addicts? Why can't it be successful, well-off people having clever children?
It's simply not good enough for this country, and that's clear.

Ok upon realising that the original post was a joke, I still already had the anger and fury of my original reading, so with little offence to Zombie Sheep, I will rant as I would have if the poster had actually been a serious twat! It can only help matters of a boring message board!
I shall commence....
Oh my God, could you be any more anally retarded?
I could get really, really rude here but I think I'll save it for someone who deserves my well thought out sarcasm and punning!
Ok, where I come from (gasp...Glasgow, puts me in a lower rank right away I'll bet?) there are people, some of whom are my friends, who you may consider 'lower class', including my own family not so long ago.
You see, as difficult as it may be for you to believe, not everyone can afford a good education, especially when our parents were young, so they actually had to work (again..gasp!)as soon they left school. Some got lucky, i.e. my Dad who managed to work his way up to a fairly decent position, some didn't. They were employed in industries which no longer exist in Britian, and havn't been trained to do anything else, and are now 'job seeking'.
As for neds, some of my friends you would probably describe as neds because of what they wear. But their parents do go out and earn a living, as do they alot of the time. They are not lazy and a waste of space.
I could go on, and on for quite a while but for now I suggest you shut your mouth on the matter before it gets you in any trouble, as I am guessing that the likes of you are too narrow minded to change any ill-informed opinion you may have.
