Am I supposed to be impressed by that? I didn't claim a penny of the state until 2007 because I was busy studying so that I could get a job that paid well - as it happens, shit happened and it didn't work out.

I hate to point out all that studying was paid for by the tax payer.

Yes, well unfortunately I don't have a rich mummy and daddy so I had to get some of my fees paid by the local authority and use student loans to cover my living costs (and the rest of my fees in the second year).

whats that got to do with it? I meant primary and secondary schools you attended before 2007 which everyone gets free because of tax.

Rich parents has nothing to do with it i certainly didnt have them as im sure most on here didnt and used the student loans system just like you to enable them to access higher education.

just because I can just about afford not to feed the evil capitalist system and you're stuck in the rat race... Fook you!

Yawn, only because the evil capitalist system feeds you. You can't be so against a system that you happily benefit from, it makes no sense. If you had any morals you'd stop claiming income support, because the system you hate is the same system you depend upon to survive. Its like a flea hating dogs.

As for your other comments, if you were taking the piss a simple smiley usually suffices. Sarcasm rarely transmits well in a text only form.



Admin edit: moved this, and subsequent posts, to the correct thread.

I'm not claiming income support, I'm claiming jobseekers because I can't be arsed with their stupid games. I look in a couple of papers, look at a couple of websites and along with my voluntary work and some of my appointments I fulfil the requirement to take three steps to seek employment every week. It's less hassle than getting sicknotes and then after about three months having to fill in some stupid long form and then going for a "medical assessment" with some random doctor who is probably a GP who couldn't hack it.

To survive, as much as I hate it, I am forced to engage with this bullshit capitalist system to some extent because all the land and resources were stolen long ago - now I would have to buy weapons, or the materials to make weapons, and probably form some kind of army that could defend itself against the state and private landowners to be able to support myself. Although how you can own something that can never belong to anyone in particular as it belongs top the planet is beyond me. The dog-hating flea has a choice - feed off the dog regardless of the soul-rot, find another kind of animal as a host, or die. As there are no other kinds of host around here and I would rather not die, do you have any other options that have not entered my consciousness?

So you're part of the system, and you need to be to survive. I just can't get how you can be so anti the thing that keeps you alive. If everybody did as you did then you'd be dead, because non of us would pay the taxes you rely on. Plus of course all the other things taxes pay for that you need, like bin collection, street lighting, emergency services....
