Aspies For Freedom

Do you feel like that every day and does this hate extend to everyone? I find my people tolerance level is at an all time low when I am tired or have just finished work. I lost it with a woman yesterday I wa son the phone and she was walking right in front of me and just nearly walked right into me, I was so close to elbowing her in the face when she tutted at me. I thought best not as it was a busy street and I was still in my work uniform.

Can you apply for a Noise Abatement (sp?) Order? If you complain and keep a record of the complaints then you will get an abso and get them moved or restricted from playing music at all. Don't sit back an do nothing, I think environmental health can also be involved if loud noise is constantly being made.

Well said. I know here we used to get you can't like this band if you like that band, like it's some sort of contest. i have all sorts of msuic at home, some great, some cheesy, some cos it reminds me of times inmy life but none of it bad music.

Anyone that thinks a song is number 1 in the charts becuase it is good is mistaken, it's because it takes less sales now to get to number 1 here than it ever has done (I think Orson managed it with just over 6000) and it's a measurement of advertsing skills and marketing campaigns by the record label.

Don't get me wrong there is some very good chart music but the majority of it is a pile of toss.

They must have got sick of playing that song. The best Nirvana song is All Apologies, just for the line "I wish I was like you, easily amused". So very, very appropriate to so many people.

I have never really been into Nirvana but I do appreciate their importance as a band and as an influence.

I think a lot of famous people must get bored with trotting out the same hit songs over and over, I know gary Numan won't play Cars liev anymore unless it is for a new audience and I do support that decision. You don't have a music career of nearly 30 years and just play your Greatist Hits every time you tour.

We don't have them here but we do have groups that congregate together, namely all black groups, girls who think they look smart but look like a bunch of underage slags (we call them scallies). if you want a prime example look on YouTube for Little Britain Vicky Pollard, i'm sure there will be clips on there. Then you get your young asian lads as well who also think they look hard. Then there is the goths, skater kids and mini moshers - an affectionate term for an 11 year old who self harms and listens to My Chemical Romance.

There is nothing wrong with rap, same with r and b. what is wrong is 3 things.

1. The majority of the people who listen to it, music about the ghetto and yet live in a big house in the country
2. The attitude of the people who listen to it
3. The fact that stuff that makes the chart is just a watered down version of what it is really about.

I would say we could happily live without abou a third of our population, they do nothing, they serve no purpose, they just keep the chain of scrubber parents - underage kids - underage parents going and I really really hate that. I think those that don't want to work should have to do community service for their benefits money or else get none. That woul dget them into a job pronto.

There was a story in todays papers about 2 people who were vandalising trains with graffiti and they were on the tracks and they got run over by a tube train. You know what I think, good f***ing riddance.

It was the same with the guy responsible for killing prostitutes in Ipswich Nov/Dec 2006, good on him. It sounds harsh but i have really really low tolerance levels of people like that.

Even better idea!

But it really annoys me how such dossy people are allowed to live in our society, they have no purpose other than to do nothing, procreate justto get some more benefits and create kids that are dragged up exactly like their parents. As a society that weakens us as itgives us nothing from them, they should be sterilised at least.

Oh, I have nothing against Rap OR R&B. The rap my CLASSMATES like is crap.

So you have someone who decides i'm not going tow ork, I can't be arsed i know i'll live on state handouts. then i'll have kids and the more kids I have teh bigger house the council will have to give me and the more money I will get. they don't pay a single penny in taxes yet our taxation goes towards keeping them in paid accomodation and money to spend on drink and fags. Then the kids grow up around that sort of environment ie you are better off to sponge off the state. They really f*cking annoy me to the point I want to shoot them. they give nothing into society, make no contribution at all. this is the sort of people whose kids are out on the street, smoking, drinking, terrorising neighbours, little bastards basically.

No, i'm not elitist, I just believe there is a way to behave. I was brought up by a single parent who later remarried but I know how to behave and that any children I have would behave too.

Scroty people have no place in our society an dthe fact that the state makes it so easy to sit on their arses and do nothing whilst i'm out working and paying a mortgage and bills really annoys me.

How about you have them on your doorstep then...

You have really failed to grasp my point in all of this. Let me clarify. Here in the uk there is a mentality amongst a small amount of our population that they are better off to not go out to work becuase the state will pay for their council house, pay their council tax whilst they CHOOSE not to work. When you read in the papers and see on tv people who are saying "i'm not working, i'm better off by not working" it kind of really winds you up. You can see them just getting handouts week after week for doing nothing basically. By having kids it's like another paycheque, in fact the more they have the more money they get. And yes there are people out there that will have kids just for the extra money they get in benefits. Then they moan that the council have to give them a bigger house as the 4 bedroom one they have now just is not big enough. So yes they do intentionally choose not to work and no I doubt if they did a days work in their life it would be a miracle.

There are always going to be rich and poor, we do ok now but it has not always been like that an dtheer have been times in my life where things have not been great. But I would never sit back and not work, in fact i'd get a second job if needed be but I would make the effort. I too could sit back and let the state pay for things but i don't believe in taking the p*ss. My house is mine, all the things in it are one through my hard work.

So I hope that clears up any misunderstandings. You can see these people day after day, you can see their offspring who have grown up thinking that living on benefits is great as you don't have to work. Those who do go out to work to support their families get absolutely no help whatsoever.

How do I see a way forward? By toughening up the welfare system, give out vouchers instead of cash that can be spent in supermarkets on food and drink but can not be used say for purchasing alchohol. Vouchers that can be used in clothes shops. Vouchers that can be used to buy thing sfor the children. And then just leave enough spare cash left over to allow for some socializing but not too much so that being on benefits is an attractive proposition. Those that can do a bit of work for getting some extra cash on top of the basic allowance + vouchers can agin it by doing some community work. Perhaps help in a local school or nursery at lunchtimes or working in local communities. This would help out no end and it would also provide some basic work skills for those looking for a job and an incentive for doing so. The blame lies just as much with the system as those who abuse it. However seeing as no British government has got any balls and the "human rights" act means people can complain about anything they will.

Thank you. And yes i agree with the points that you have made. i am also glad you can see the people that I dislike are a small minority of our population but they exist and serve no purpose other than spawning kids and scrounging benefits.

As for there are not enough jobs, there are jobs and now there is a minimum wage there is no reason not to work. At 18 I got about £3.20 an hour, what is the minimum wage now? About £5-6 an hour I believe.

I would say I have some self respect and that if there was ever a day I needed state benefits then the system that I have paid my tax and national insurance contributions into would support me. But to say "I won't work" and just get money for doing nothing takes the mick.

My point is not aimed at prostitutes, kids who have fled home, people illegally trafficked but the people that live here that grow up being told don't work, live on benefits and have a few kids and you will never have to pay for anything. I could not bring myself to do that and I begrudge my taxation going to support these scroungers.

At least people that come here from Eastern Euriope do so with the intention of working which is more than can be said for some of our population. I'm just glad the majority of us are hard working decent people, it's just a shame we can't root out the weeds.

When I am in a shop if i want help i will go and ask. i would like to think however that I can find things myself. It's only in stupid shops where things are not where you would logically expect to find them that I get annoyed. When I shop I tend to get a big shop when I get paid and top up from local shops and markets with things that we need fresh. I don't mind when i go to a butcher and there is some meat that I want but I don't know what cut is the best for the emal I am trying to do, I appreciate that as it's a personal touch. In a shop peopel are just nice becuase the boss makes them be that way.

It's not the persons fault who is doing it, please don't confuse what I am saying by implying that is the case when it isn't. People are told what to do in the job that they do but it makes everyone the same, I can usually tell when someone is genuinely wanting to help.

Say I go in Asda and ask what aisle will I find tinned tomatoes, the fake-helpful person will say yes you will find them in aisle 7 and just smile whereas the genuinely helpful person will take me to the aisle or show me exactly where they are. That to me is customer service, doing that bit more than is neccessary. However as most businesses are run for as much profit as possible with as little cost as possible then these things do not happen.

if I go in a shop, bar, cafe or whereever part of the experience is the person serving you. A nice meal served by someone who is not enjoying thjeir job would make me think twice about returning to that place. A business sees customer service as fake and artificial, i see it as an indivual using their own skills and personality and ensuring that the person you are serving leaves with a good impression. In the long term taht will ensure they return.
