Actually no, you're entirely wrong. I spent a lot of my life doing drugs, and the thing about doing drugs is that you end up having to go to the worst kind of people to get them.
d'ya think that your opinions might be a little skewed considering you basing them on a bunch of low life drug dealing scumbags, by any chance?
and by the way, the fact that you've spent "a lot" of your life doing drugs and still need to go to a scuzzy council flat to score crap drugs from chavs you hate underlines the fact that you're probably a stupid half wit with a big mouth, as if your opinions weren't enough.

Don't worry dude, I know what your saying. I too have contact with several of these "long-term unemployed" and completely agree with you. There is no desire to work, they go through the motions of signing on without actually "seeking a job", as the allowance implies.
Also, the actual threshold to be considered as living in poverty is actually quite high. It doesn't mean cardboard shoes and porridge for dinner, not by a long shot.

Do you think drug dealers exist in a vacuum? Do you think there is some kind of drug dealer council estates, where all the "good" poor people are spirited away to whatever fantasy land you live in?
Do you have any experience at all with what I'm talking about?
not on wall street, no, new york would be quite a trek for me, but i certainly haven't any need to resort to buying from people in council flats.
Do you have high-class friends who spend their days on Wall Street and then deal drugs on the side??
Do you have enough of your own wit to actually use proper punctuation and grammar, or would you like some of my half?
Or do you simply have absolutely no clue as to what you're talking about, but are angry that my opinions differ so wildly from your own?

I'm done discussing anything with you.
Especially your wonderful comeback about my grammatically-correct sentence, in which you failed to capitalise any words at all. Brilliant.

Great stuff pieman, I also have had extensive (dealings lol) with the chavs and I can tell you something, they are as you say, the worst type of people.
It's not about race or about poor individuals just needing a break, these scumbags are happy with their crap little lives sponging off the state, waiting for thier grows and rutting like rats with their addidas princess's.
This is the best these worthless people can do at life. If it wasn't for the weak rap lyrics and their dumb chav families egging them on they might feel ashamed.
But here's the dirty little secret, they are only living a tiny fraction of their lives, I live my life to the fullest taking in art and culture, seeing the world, like most good people I want to improve and grow.
These people just aren't capable of it, keep your head up pieman that other guy was a toff and we both know they know nothing.

Right I'm knackered now. Unlike the chavs, I have work in the morning lol.

probably a good idea, quit with some dignity at least?
i never claimed to have grammatical superiority. besides which, of course, capitalisation would be properly described as punctuation, not grammar. grammar is the construction and syntax of a sentence while punctuation is the notation of stops, starts and pauses used to emphasise motion and emotion in the written word.

I wasn't even talking about the demographic you fall into.
Well this is what we get for paying for a despicable underclass to raise their useless, bastard children to become chavs.
i have no respect for the law, the law is an ass, i have morals but that's a different matter. i have very little formal education, i was to busy doing chav stuff when i should have been in school, but i read a lot. i have a job, for the moment, who knows about next week.
Listen, you just don't get it. You clearly aren't the kind of person who has no respect for laws, you evidently had a decent education and you probably have a job.
yeah right. take off the rose tinted glasses. "when i was a lad we knew how t'beehave". come off it.
It is all about respect, for others and yourself, which poor people of the generations before Labour government had in spades, even if they had no money.
if they're a product of anything, it is the breakdown in community which occurred because of slum clearances and the decline of heavy industry manufacturing in the 60's and 70's.
Chavs are a product of the handout generation and are the worst kind of scum.
