by the sound of that last post i think noone would want you

Quote: "if you write anything a mod disagrees with, it will be pulled"


that isn't true

Quote: "I am tiered of spending my cash on products by a company who condem free speech"


They don't condem free speech the just stop people from swearing, being rude etc.

You have to remember that a lot of young people surf these forums, and if something is too extreme or is unsuitable then expect it to be pulled

Quote: "no more TGC for me"

[edit] out of order [/edit]

one last note - mods are here to protect us, to clean up peoples mess and to stop annoying people like you who go against the aup from ever looking at these pages again

have a nice life then

So you think wishing someone injured or dead is ok then.

Just so you are aware, I did not swear in that post, I pointed out how the rich are exploiting the needy once again.

I pointed out that IMO that Tony Blair was doing the right thing with his stance on people coming out and threatening british people with acts of terror, I was also concerned with the fact that the fat cats were using migrants for skilled work, and paying them peanuts, and that my friend is having a hard time finding work to feed him and his young family, it is slave labour, and it will make the rich even richer and keep the working man on his toes, it's not right, it's pure greed.

What a coincidence.. The other day my dad was saying how the rich are getting richer and the poor are getting poorer.

Thanks guys for reading this and understanding what I am trying to say, exploitation, in any degree is wrong, I only hope that when a lot of the young ones on this forum hit the work place, things have changed, and they get an even break, everyone deserves a chance.

Now I need to hit the shops real quick, so excuse me, I will read any replies when I return, if this thread is still here.

I saw the post. Not exactly a big deal, but I can understand why it was pulled.

Tony Blairs actions for these recent powers are quite, a shock. Also they are against the sensibility nature of a number of users around here.

iirc political threads have become auto-delete, just like religious topics. Simply because they turn into naplam areas. (even without my help)

I think it was rather inappropriate thread - hence the reason it was deleted it.

Political ones always decend to a dubious level. If you dont like it - tough.

Mind you, it would have helped if you had used proper grammical structures and maybe spell checked it - I did think it was a newbie trying to start a nice little flamewar.

My two cents, I don't see anything wrong with Blair's proposed policies.

Anyway, I never saw the thread.

Aoneweb, the rich stay rich and the poor stay poor because the poor doesn't know how to handle money. 99% of the lottery winners in America end up being "poor" again within a year. People tend to go nuts when they get a lot of money and just waste it on junk.

PS: I'm not rich... just an ENTJ.

Where did you get your statistics from, 99%, do you think even 99% of people that win the lottery are poor people? the Poorer of the poor are suffering, they don’t have a dollar to play the lottery, I would like to give you some money so you can feed your family, but your poor, and you would only spend it, and be poor again, the above quote can only come from a rich collage boy , who has been told that us poor people are scum, and we don’t deserve to be rich, coz we will only mess things up.

I am sorry if you feel my grammar is not up to your level, but normally I do spell check my posts.

Okay... Aone, please refrain from making a flame thread...

Right now you are yelling at everyone about a simple thread! Take a little time off, it would be good for you... but then again, I should be the "better man" and not post here, oh well.

99% of the people is exageration, but it is true that most people who win the lottery end up with less cash in their pocket then there was before. This is because they spend it, rapidly, Buy a new house, Buy a yat, buy a big screen tv... look at their new taxes, lose a lot of money. End up being middle class again.

Also, for the education of the forum
"" means SARCASM, in this case the "poor" people are really middle class, they look at the rich and say "I am poor".

I haven't paid the slightest bit of notice to the posts here, but how did you get from censorship to lottery winners and the class gulfs? That must take some doing.

You've been watching way too many movies.


Either way, I've 'undeleted' the thread and locked it pending further consideration. It is indeed a short path to a bushfire but I don't think it should have been 'deleted', just locked.

There isn't really. I mean the main thing people are hung up on is that there is a bypass of the legal system.

If your caught trying to recruit or plot against the British people no matter your nationality you'll be kicked out. Do not pass go. Do not collect £200.

Tough policity and if it had been passed in the US then it would be unconstitutional (although I'm sure a handy amendment might appear ), and as such I could see a major fuss.

As far as England (and it's subsiduary countries ) go though while on the surface you see some democratic system, the government maintains the monarchy for a simple goal.

So there is no Democracy on how things work. Reality is the government in-charge has full powers to basically pass anything it chooses.

If they wanted to make it illegal for a given sect of people, say Indian-origin to be barred from entering the country. They could, and there isn't much any human rights groups can do given we don't have any such human rights constitution. The Human Rights act we have in this country is still maintained internally.

Just like much of our other laws. While on the grander scale the government often will allow the EU to control a number of factors of how things are run, again another reason were not part of the EU is because anything we don't agree one, we can say no to without any reprocussions. Cause technically they have no authority.

Definately a cushie goverment job.

99% is a little extreme but it happens to a lot of lottery winners. I am nowhere near a rich collage boy who thinks poor people are the scum of the Earth... in fact i'll tell you a little something about what I do.

I work at a food pantry. A food pantry is a goverment funded program to provide food for the needy... the needy being "poor" people. I've been doing this for the past 6 years. I work in the front on the computer. I talk to everybody that comes in to get free food. If they qualify (using the goverments requirements) they get free food every month till they overqualify (income wise). I live in a small town of about 9,000 people. Since i'm required to record certain data for the government i'll give you some stats. Last month 281 families were given food (from our small food closet)... the total number of people in that 281 is 903 people (adults and children). Many of the people that come in are very cool people that I enjoy talking to. One of the reasons why i'm the one they go through is i'm a people person and I help them feel relaxed (many feel embarrassed when they first come in). I help them to feel they aren't alone and it's ok to need help... and entertain them while they wait for the food. When I see the regulars on the street I always smile and say hi to them. If I treated them like the scum of the Earth then why am I happy to see them? Because I consider the majority of them (and the family members they always come in with) as my friends.

Aoneweb, I encourage you to volunteer at one of your local food pantries... there's no joy greater than helping people.

Here's a link to the list of food pantries in your town:

Nope. We arrest people that plot against airlines or the US. Just proves that there is still that big gap between places. I dont know why it wouldnt be passed, but still, I would call the cops if I heard a guy saying "haha..the british are going to pay" then pulls out a gun or something<.<
