  1. Plus will they give them other housing or just make them homeless as that will hardly help the area with a few 100 more homeless people walking around.

    Not if they give that housing to the current homeless who don't have criminal records for rioting.

     

    Was just discussing this with a friend, and considering I'm currently looking at being made homeless because my twat of a landlord decided paying the mortgage wasn't important, and has instead pissed off to America, and the council are just shrugging their shoulders at it because I have no physical disability, I've no issue with people who have committed a crime like that being kicked out so the house can go to someone much more worth, namely someone who hasn't tried destroying everything around them.

     

    Of course, logistics are harder when it comes to parents who have a 20 year old kid who was out doing the rioting, but in general, and in principal, I approve of it.

  2. Why live with it? Why not try and change it? No human being is worth more than another.

    Oh fuck off.

     

    Someone with only the ability to stack shelves in Tesco is, of course, going to be much less worth to society as a whole than a surgeon saving peoples lives daily. Are you suggesting that the surgeon shouldn't earn a higher wage?

     

    Are you also suggesting that the manager of that same Tesco shouldn't be earning a higher wage than the guy stacking the shelves, when not only does the manager have to make sure the staff are working, but also has to take the blame when things go wrong, even if it's one of the staff that fuck up?

     

    Yes, there are some people getting more money than they deserve, like those running banks who still get bonuses when the banks lose money. But that doesn't mean the majority are like that. Nor does it mean everyone should have the same set wage across the board. If you do a higher risk job, you deserve more money, if you do a job that's required years of training and expertise in a specialist area, you deserve more money for it. To say otherwise just proves you haven't got a clue.

  3. Apart from the issue of paying for transport.

    Sort of like me... living in the middle of nowhere and having to pay for public transport when on job seekers you mean?

     

    You do know that the job seeker's allowance covers public transport right? That's why people who have to pay to get into town just to sign on don't get given more money to do so.

     

    In fact, there were times I was required to go into shops directly and ask if there was work available, twice a week. That's

  4. Explain how. Also I will gladly concede around issues of employment if anyone wants to show me some actual evidence of all of these jobs that are available.

    If you live in London, you can travel a damned sight fucking farther than the tiny local area you live in. My Dad lived in the east end of London (Plumstead/Woolwich as that's where I grew up) and works right over in the West End. Before we had the public transport system we have now as well.

     

    Now, with the public transport, you could do the exact same, work one end, and live the other, and not pay through the nose for public transport, and have a massive wide range of options for work. While you are giving the excuse of "there's no jobs where they live" right, there might not be... so tell them to get on a train, or a tube, or a bus, and go looking in different areas that aren't 2 minutes walk down the road.

     

    There's a massive difference between not having jobs to apply for, and not bothering to find jobs to apply for.

     

    I have more right to complain about being in an area with it being shit to find work than they do, as people living in my village that rely on public transport have restricted times they can work as well, and the option of one town and nowhere else. If you live in London, you don't have that issue.

  5. Starting to hear sirens around the Shepherds Bush area now. Hopefully they're off to other areas and it isn't coming too close to home.

    My Mum's mentioned Woolwich has been hit too, anyone heard anything about that yet?

  6. You....right?

    What gives you that idea? I mean there's absolutely nothing to suggest that he's the same person. So what if he's only just signed up here? So what if he's never posted on the forum before now? So what if he's got the same username as the uploader of the Youtube clip?

     

    It's just a coincidence, honest guv.

  7. By the posts you make/others make.

     

    Town want to lynch scum.

     

    Scum want to lynch town, but appear to be trying to lynch scum.

     

    You pretty much have to work out who are town trying to lynch scum, and who are scum just trying to lynch anyone that might be a mislynch. The only way to do that is by reading what people say, and questioning them and putting pressure on them.

  8. More importantly, when is he due back?

    You think he's dissing neil all over the place and coming back? No chance.

     

    I don't want to seem like I'm defending Happ or anything as it's clear from his posts that he's a bit touched, but is he really going to be banned because he bad mouthed a mod on another forum? Spectacularly sad and indicative of a man with little in his life maybe, but I don't think he should be gotten rid of permanently because he took a suspension badly. It says a lot about the insecurity of the mods that they can't take a little abuse after taking action against someone. Surely neil isn't upset by it? It's so silly.

    That stick you're holding. Turn it round.

  9. Any chance somebody has a link to the leaked production copy of WWE NXT from November last year? Tried looking around the net a bit but cant seem to find it.

     

    I'll send you a PM once I upload it, bro. For some reason I still have it

     

    EDIT : Well I will if I can find somewhere to upload 400 MB for free!

    http://4shared.com should do the trick for you, if you can't do it in one hit (I don't know of a reason you can't though), just use winrar to split the file into multiple parts.

  10. I predicted that tiger_rick would be a Nazi mod and it's pretty much been proved to be the case. I reckon even Carbomb would have made a better mod.

    Are you forgetting that neil has already pointed out that Butch had a mark against him for the piss poor and unfunny thread where he began naming people he disliked (otherwise known as being a twat). This time around it could (and very much should) have been left at "You guys posting that it's funny are idiots" or something, it didn't require a multipage argument stemming from it. That's why both Butch and TripleA have been given suspensions, they both were twats about it. If anything it's lucky more didn't get handed out.

     

    As far as this "lol" comment goes:

     

    But since then you've developed a "them and us" mentality that's really spoilt the fun around here at times, and this place is just meant to be a bit of fun.

    I would say there's a lot more of an "us/them" mentality in regards to some of the non-paid members who bitch that paid members get treated better, or then there's the fact that depending on who is suspended it's either good modding or bad modding. Take the TripleA and Butch thing. TripleA being suspended is good work, and a "silver lining", yet Butch being suspended for the same length of time for the same thing, is a travesty of justice. It's laughable. I don't always agree with neil, there are a few times I disagree with his views, but I'd never suggest he's unfair when it comes to his modding because it's quite blatantly untrue. It's just that when it comes to people you like, you're less likely to see it as fair than you will if it was happening to someone you disliked on here.

  11. Hmmm, then fair play, much as I think the ganging up on TripleA was a bit much (okay, massive overkill, just as he shouldn't have taken the bait. Nor posted a shit comment to begin with), if he didn't actually go hunting for stuff, it doesn't make it anywhere near as bad. Doesn't change that it was still uncalled for from both sides.
