paime Posted April 21, 2006 Report Share Posted April 21, 2006 I went to see that chimney being demolished in Tillydrone the other day. It was quite good but its not what really grabbed my attention cos surrounding me were about 200 other people, all of working age, so why weren't they at work? The vast majority were all smoking, had fancy camera phones/camcorders/digital cameras to record the carnage with and dogs. Now, im not one to stereotype but im guessing that a lot of these guys were on benefits - benefits which you and me pay for!!! I dont have a camera cos i cant afford one, i dont have a dog cos i cant afford one and i doubt i could afford to smoke so why should i pay for them to have all the things i cant have even though they dont do any work to get it for themselves, makes my blood boil!!!*rant over* Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RF Scott Posted April 21, 2006 Report Share Posted April 21, 2006 So it isn't possible thata)a lot of those people were also students (bearing in mind the area is pretty close to campus)b)they work at different times?Also - this monday was Easter Monday = a lot of people have holidays.

paime Posted April 21, 2006 Author Report Share Posted April 21, 2006 it only lasted a couple of seconds, i expected more, maybe some fireworks or a marching band would've made it better. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RF Scott Posted April 21, 2006 Report Share Posted April 21, 2006 Are you being serious? For some demolition work?!So you get angry when people own phones but would expect (at presumably the taxpayer's expense) fireworks and marching bands when something gets demolished?!!!You're crazy.

french_disko Posted April 21, 2006 Report Share Posted April 21, 2006 This thread is fucking great.....Let me get this straight, right - a student, hardly the most celebrated of workers in society according to stereotype, is having a rant at "homeless junkies" with camera phones (hardly the most expensive of technologies nowadays) who just so happened to be having a fag at the same time as well? Now, the assumptions that the individual is basing his slightly prejudiced and decriminatory views on are the fact that it was a Monday during working hours. This is despite the fact - it was Easter Monday during the school holidays so half the town was off.It was a pretty watchable spectable, to be honest. He's "not one to stereotype". And, most obviously, he was in Tillydrone. Fuck sake, min - you were in Tillydrone, do you expect everyone to be in top hat and tails????????(disclaimer- the final "fact" was delivered with tongue firmly in cheek.)Best statement of the whole misinformed Daily Mail style rant was surely "why should i pay for them to have all the things i cant have even though they dont do any work".Fucking right-wing students, eh?
