Although I understand , 5 spelling mistakes and poor grammar does not get your point across very well.

[briggie]

i respect your right to a view , however ,this is a very dangerous and sweeping statement , for example , you mention england , so does this exclude scots , welsh , irish ...or just people of a different colour ? .

i recieve benefits because i cannot work , and am very unlikely too in the future ,i encounter discrimination often because of my disability , in my personal view discrimination of any kind has no place at all in any civilised society , i mean where do you draw the line , im sorry if i have upset anyone , but this is my view too .

with all due respect , that is a totally different point to your original post

[briggie]

my view is anyone on employment related benefits should be offered up to a maximum of 3 jobs , in this day of the minimum wage , if all 3 are refused , then benefit should cease .

As to prove my point for me gents , you are only commenting on my replies not the original post , therefore as stated the original post was for whatever reason , not effective.

[briggie]

i also had concerns with the original post , and i asked a few questions regarding it ( not answered yet ) , my problem was not with the grammer , but more with the context of the original post .

the spell checker for those that wish to use it , is at the top right hand corner of the reply thread , its marked abc and has a tick underneath it . but i understood quite well the meaning of the post and had concerns about it .


hope this makes my view clear .

I didn’t really have any issues with the post , it’s his opinion and I don’t have to agree with it , however it is clearly less effective to post with incorrect spelling than a correctly formatted post.
My spelling is appalling but I fully understand my issues and use the spellchecker.

Point missed completely.

Attack the politics, not the person. I didnt like your original post. It was neither constructive nor humorous. It was a form of bullying.

Theres a big difference between your style of comment there and other ways of picking up on spelling. Good example was a bit back elsewhere where a serious debate on religion was going on and I managed to typo error an h after w in worship. next thing I knew the thread had a picture of a lady of the night posted asking me if that was what I really meant. In context that was funny and I deserved it. Sidsid didnt on here.

Instead of having a go at what he said you had a go at him. Not on.

Furthermore, not commenting on the original post....hmmmmm.......

Three of many possible reasons for that

First of all has your faux pas become more interesting than the op ? or perhaps ss in a man for all seasons no comment has been made because "silence gives consent" ie how many agree with sidsid ? or even people cant be arsed or arent interested in the op?

Not quite as simple as you made out is it :rolleyes:

[Darwin]

'' Although I understand , 5 spelling mistakes and poor grammar does not get your point across very well. ''


Your also missing the point , his opinion is his opinion , but spelling his message correctly is more helpful in getting his point across.

[Deleted account DD]

So Darwin if you want it back on thread..............

Sidsid has a valid basis for his opinion and I can see exactly where he is coming from. BUT unfortunately for whatever reason it strays into the area of intolerance and stereotyping.

The welfare system is a crutch. Its meant to support you when you need help. NOT be a lifestyle CHOICE which it has become for far too many.

I was unemployed for a month after getting finished from a job many moons ago and I claimed various benefits when I got myself badly injured and was off work a while. I was one of the lucky ones , I bounced back and now claim nowt. It may easily (and looked like it would at one stage) have gone the other way and i would have been claiming with my head held high and a clear conscience.

No shame at all in that if you need to.

What we do need is a strong government or coalition group to take on the things in the hard to deal with box benifits & welfare state are one of those.

It never ceased to amaze me when I went to various addresses around the place how many people who appeared fit and healthy had the resources, cash and time, to be on permanent all day drinking and smoking whilst having a playstation and full sattleite or cable tv at their fingertips. The odd times they strayed out was to complain about something or go out for a drink and then they went by taxi. That aint stereotyping Ive seen it and would love it sorted because its our money theyre using.

Theres an old story about a cop I knew, real old school and a woman + brood living just how I describe above was persistently calling the police to moan. One day this cop went round , knocked on the door and asked her if she had a job yet.....no , well out of your benefits have you paid your rates and the back amount you owe....no well in that case he said I aint policing for you and left.

I dont have the answers beyond that, I dont think the politicians do off the top of their heads but theyre going to have to :nenau

Anyhow, I'm off into the garden, only got the wacker on hire for the weekend and I've got a patio to sort :thumb2

makes no difference at all, we can see what he was saying and YOUR point is devalued by the manner of it. Like I said comes across as a form of arrogant bullying. May not have been meant that way but perception is all in this case.

Its not constructive and not amusing in any way, it only points out the obvious.

Now breakfast done, garden mud pit calling :D

ps does my spelling pass muster?

not that I'm arzed :D

With an election coming up I was hoping that this was one of the issues that might be resolved , but I truly would have no idea which party to vote for.

My Conservative and Labour candidates have both been involved in one scandal or another over the past few years and I am not sure if the Liberals have any policy's on anything.

[extreme-4x4]

poor spelling does not make the thread less interesting,
people are i guess allowed to write what they like. within reason .

i think the points raised by daved are valid. people are free to answer how they wish, if they wish to at all

plenty of people have views on the original subject of the thread ,some answer. others choose to say nothing, some might take offense. others find it funny

i know who i'll be voting for . but i wouldn't bore you lot with it

[Darwin]

i know who i'll be voting for . but i wouldn't bore you lot with it

There is some Pornstar running as a candidate in Bristol , makes a change to see your local MP getting stiffed by the voters :lol

[clivvy]

DAVED - awesome and well "spoken" points there, totally agree with you, and good to see you understand where SidSid is coming from.

It seems to me he didnt mean any offence, he's just posted the typical jokes about this country being a haven for illegal immigrants claiming benefits and all that political nonsense, at least thats my translation. the guys having a tough time, so give him a break. he explained his spelling and grammer, what people should do is take time to understand, not take time to have a go. His point is valid, unfortunately his post is about something far more complex, which explains the upset caused, i think, if he wanted a political debate, i'm sure he would have posted it as such, and not a joke which is what was intended.

anyhoo, lets not fall out!

[paulp]

Hi Darwin i liked that comment LMAO

I think considering the content of the thread.

There was no intended attack on any body with a disability.

Whether that disability was born with or occured through accident or illness.

BUT i do agree that we as a country are far to generous to those that can work but CHOOSE, the important word is CHOOSE, not to work.

Briggie you should run for politician because I agree that any one that refuses three offers of employment with out a VALID reason should have there benefits reduced or be made carry out voluntary work.

However if I went to say Nigeria or Ghana ( I choose those 2 places because that is where most immigrants in my area originate from) and asked for my free council house and free benefits without contributing a penny i would be left homeless and destitute.

It makes the matter worse when the local people are disadvantaged by the immigrants (perception) or the gesture of help is thrown back inyour face as not good enough - fact as i have experienced this personally

[sidsid06]

now to the original post.....it was ment as a joke!!! as it seems that some people in this country really do take the piss with benefits...... and have no intention of working at all!!!!!!! as ware their are people who need the benefits fair enough...

aye, your certainly right, but i do wonder, sometimes, if the issues we have in this country are replicated in others perhaps? Genuine benfit claiments should try ot to be offended by these sorts of jokes, these sorts of jokes have been around for as long as I can remember, its nothing new.

[Liam]

Maybe I'm way off here,but isn't it the tolerance of the British people generally that attracts other nationalities? It's probably fair to say that there is no rush to emigrate to intolerant countries (deliberately not naming anywhere to try not to offend anyone) because they are intolerant of other cultures. I'll bet that none of my relatives who did land in the UK in the 50's only went there because they knew they would be accepted by the British people as a whole and accepted into British society for as long as they wanted. It's probably also fair to say that if Britain was an intolerant society,they would have emigrated to some other country. I think very few people would deliberately emigrate or decide to live in a culturally intolerant society. You should be applauding the fact that you live in an understanding and tolerant society, it's one big advantage you have over a lot of other countries. I know it's not perfect and there will always be people who "work the system", not all of them foreign either.

I'm a bit of an anorak as far as politics go :augie My money is actually on the Lib Dems being the dark horses here.

Ive seen Nick Clegg speak at a rally. He was excellent. Humorous, to the point and more relevantly suggesting solutions as well as taking the P* out of the Lab govt and their penchant for passing legislation for everything :thumb2

Far better performance than anything showman Blair ever put forward on a public gig.

I honestly dont think they'll get a majority but I reckon they'll do better than most people reckon.

In the Chancellors debate Vince Cable stuffed the other two, in the leaders debate Nick Clegg was the best by a mile.

What do you think your bith certificate is ?

The name on your birth certificate is that 'fictional' person/name associated with you the human being....your worth is the 'potential' taxes you will pay over your lifetime.

Its high time we all awoke from our slumbers and become conscious of whats really going down...the truth is staring all of us in the face...we have just become desensitized to our true human condition...its the telly you see....truly the opium of the masses....replaced religion a long time ago (some might say thats a good thing)...

No it doesn't. Felthouse v Bindley (1862) 11 CBNS 869

Youve quoted a mere three words! come on..........................

In the context I used it, its a question regarding debating a rather tricky matter as faced by Thomas More and a subsequent presumption made by the King. Who coincidentally lopped Mores head off to make sure.

The whole point is he kept quiet because he didnt agree but couldnt challenge it properly , the king wanted to believe that as he wasnt opposed by More who he felt or wanted to believe implied consent by his silence

Read the work you will understood my comment as opposed to a literal isolated meaning. Not a bad book for a crusty old classic :thumb2 :D

I used an example form literature to make a point that has absolutely nothing to do with law.....clearly way over the top........:doh


However out of interest , the stated contract case you mention was later negated to a greater degree by Brogden v's Metropolitan Railway 1876-77. So does subsequent silence give agreement or consent ?

Furthermore the general consensus regarding the Felthouse job is that in fact it actually ruled that you cannot enforce an individual to make a rejection of an offer then subsequently presuming that absence to be acceptance (very similar as in man for all seasons) Thats pretty much it.

Therefore as it doesnt directly state so, it does not rule carte blanch that silence does not give consent. A common misunderstanding of that case I am led to believe and the basis of many good good criminal and civil debates I would have thought.

All good shit :D but still nothing to do with the context of my non legal comparison to English literature.

Brogden was more concerned with an ongoing contract, deemed to have started by the House of Lords when the first load of coal was delivered, rather than the one-off, admittedly quasi-tortious, question of acceptance in Felthouse. Cheshire, Fifoot and Furmston explain it as;

'Silence is usually equivocal as to consent and the uncle's letter did not render the nephew's failure to reply unequivocal since failure to reply to letters is a common human weakness'

Is that the blackberry messenger thing? how do I find my id?

well theres a technical shortcut but i prefer manual mode.....its on the box LOL. a mixture of digits and alpha, about 7-8 characters I think.....it lets you message other BB users,

what one ya got then? I have the 8900 Curve - hope you didn't get the Storm,wife has one, it sucks....

got yer email and facebook connected yet?

I got the 9700. I was due upgrade, went after a nokia e72 but they wouldnt do them on the early upgrade.

However vodaphone must have an excess of 9700s in stock because after a minimal amount of hagling they did it on a tarrif that was superb. The only one who came near was o2 and they only manage that through a pain in the butt rebate system.

I agree about the storm, couldnt get away with it. I like the qwerty keyboard set up. I know one bod who sent the strom back and one who swapped an older bb for it and regrets it.

Ive actually knocked £5 off my monthly tariff, got the same minutes but more texts and internet plus a groovy new handset. Well chuffed.

email.......just sorted

facebook and other apps............hey up..one thing at a time please :D:D:D
