Again, no intention of offense to the "good" chavs ... I know a few people who, if they were walking through the street you'd think they were chavs. Now I'm not one for stereotypes, you are who you are, you like what you like, personal taste. I only think this because I have a lot of people ask what type of music I like, some of these people genuinely want to know, but I've noticed that the others have an ulterior motives ... they wanna know because they wanna know if I'm goth, emo, chav whatever the stereotypes are these days, basically they want to stereotype me I DON'T WANT TO BE STEREOTYPED! And it always seems to be a chav that asks me for those reasons.
I've started this rant because I just went for a fag, and was sat talking with my boyfriend and my mum, and we was talking about the benefit system, its shit ... but towards the end of our conversation after moving over quite a few subjects, I became enraged. My mother told us a story from a good few years ago, here's what she said...
We had my nan round once, and her and my mum decided to walk up to the shop with the dog. Now my nan was obviously, an elderly lady, but as they came out of the shop there was some lads outside, putting bits of rubbish and just basically a load of crap in the letterbox that stood, quite happily, on its own minding it's own business, outside the shop. My mum, being the woman she is, sees this as wrong, to be honest so do I and I hope a lot of people out there would. Mum didn't cause much of a fuss, just said "well what's the point in doing that?" ... what was the point, other the pissing the postman off when he has to sift through all the letters and shit? These chavs responded with "What's it got to do with you?" not realising that it's tax payers money that gets things like letterboxes and what not... so technically it had everything to do with my mum, this conversation went on, and as it did 2 of the lads, unbeknown to my mum, crept up behind my nan, and started chucking those bangy things on the floor behind her ... SHE HAD A HEART CONDITION! And these ignorant bastards didn't think twice, now they could have been trying to scare the dog, but regardless of who they were trying to scare ... what was the point of it! I've been brought up in such a way that I wouldn't even think about doing that, to any animal, any elderly person in fact I wouldn't do it to anyone I didn't know. The sheer mentality, ignorance and immaturity enraged me. I get shit for being a decent person from these types of people ... well I say screw you! I'd rather be in the adult world, with the mature ones, it don't mean to say you can't have a laugh but how are you having a laugh?
Go on google, and in the search bar ... type: define:chavs ... the words that disgusted me were, the UK in particular. Chavs stemmed from the UK, I don't wanna be a UK citizen no more after hearing that.
Kids get bullied through school for whatever reason, not all, but has anyone noticed that the popular ones, are majority chavs, who are mindless, lacking in intelligence, lacking in morals and standards and thinks it's alright to try and make other people's lives a living hell for the fun of it, so they can laugh with their mates. And these "populars", always turn out to be the people, that when you've matured you end up laughing at them, "ahaha she's up the duff" well contraception is there for a reason, you're not suprised at all when you find that they are on every benefit going, draining the system from which you will pay into, are paying into, and you're parents and grandparents and so on have worked flippin' hard to pay into. It makes me laugh when you're talking to a chav and they're like, I'm on jobseekers, so I don't need to work ... woop-dee-fuckin-doo! I WANT TO GET OFF JOB SEEKERS, I WANT A JOB, WHAT IS SO AMAZING ABOUT GETTING £100 EVERY TWO WEEKS, OTHER THAN THE FACT THAT YOU'VE DONE FUCK ALL TO GET IT. Sorry I'm mistaken ... you've got you're fat ass off the sofa, you've walked into town, whatever, waited in a queue, sat down, spoke to someone about that job you've apparently been looking for, telling the advisor that you didn't get the job from the imaginary interview you went to. That must of been hard work! I'm not saying everyone claiming a benefit is a chav ... their not ... but I'm sick of hearing that another lass has got herself pregnant, so she can move out into a place, paid for by the council ... My mum's got the right idea, 1 kids a mistake, the council should help till the kid is 5, once it's in school, the parent goes to work ... BUT THAT'S NOT POSSIBLE IS IT! Coz they've popped out one or two more since the first one! I know quite a few people, with kids (notice the plural) who work ... and have done since their before their first child was born.
My brother has decided to go back to uni, after paying into the system for years now ... He's 22, his circumstances are the same as the first. He can't apply for special student grants, not unless English is his second language (foreign) or he's got a kid, there's more I believe but they are the two that stuck out. So basically, unless you're draining the system you can't go get a higher education with help from the government. Where is the incentive to learn? There isn't anymore, because the government has chucked that much money at people that haven't earned it, there isn't enough to put into things like funding for people who live in this country to get on in this country. Our people of Britain should come first, I'm sorry but the immigrants can wait until last ... first come first served is the saying, well British people were in Britain before the immigrants. The chavs that put a bad name on this country should go last two. Help the people who are willing to help themselves, who want an education! The government has gone down the shitter man!
I feel like I could have offended a lot of decent people out there, hopefully you'll have the same idea as me, and realise what type of people I'm getting at. Thank you for reading =) Toodle pip =)

Religion
Iyah! Well, today I've decided to rant about religion. Clearly from that statement I am not religious... 100% Atheist. I don't intend to offend anyone, so I apologise if I do.
I don't personally have a problem with the idea of religion, it's a belief system that has hundreds of followers. It provides comfort to those who are scared of death, it gives people something to live for in the sense that they do good all their life to get into heaven, to be re-united with god, if they do bad and don't confess and that, they go to hell ... quite simple really. But over the 2000 years it's been around, or more in some religions, it's been twisted in a brutal game of Chinese whispers. I did Religious Studies for GCSE, not an amazing qualification but it was an easy B. But that's just to say yes I know about God's divine plan ... but God's divine plan seems to be a get out clause for every unanswerable question.
Like I said, I don't have a problem with the majority of religion, people are entitled to believe in what they believe in ... who am I to stop that? But by the same token, I also have the FREE WILL to not believe in god, so I don't take kindly to people stopping me on a busy high street while I'm shopping, well not that at all really.
I just so happened to be walking down the high street in Lincoln, when an old man stopped me, he seemed kind enough, I didn't know what he wanted to talk to me about, until he asked me if I was a believer ... I answered no. He seemed astonished! Most kids of today aren't religious! But he carried on, and I had to politely stop him because I was late for meeting up with a friend, but no he wanted to enforce the "words of our Lord upon me", I apologised a second time and said I had to go but he insisted that I stayed, shoving numerous amount of leaflets in my hand. I was starting to get a little angry, especially when I noticed that on the board he was preaching from didn't even have Genesis spelled correctly. Time managed to pass while he's ranting away and I can't get a word in edge ways, every time I tried to leave he pulled me back ... he was intent on making me listen. It didn't take much time for me to lose patience, and yeah I had a go ... I was being kept against my will ... yes I could have legged it, but I'm polite, or try to be ... So anyway there's now two of us, shouting in the middle of the high street, one for god, and one against. He tried the "oooooh you'll go to hell" ... SO WHAT MAN?! I haven't done anything wrong, according to the 10 commandments I'm a perfect christian, but for not believing in God I'm going to hell ... I'd rather be in hell with the open minded people than in heaven with at least some narrow minded people, I can't say all.
Point of the matter is, religious people seem to turn their nose up at me, because I don't believe. I do believe, I believe that we grow up, to reproduce, look after our young, continue looking after them, until I die, having a fun and happy life on the way ... you die and maybe their is energies from our bodies, we do have electrical current running through us, so we have electrons, and were made up of atoms ... and we attract to those kind of things, that is my belief. So why do I have to argue with people I don't know, in the middle of the street, or on my own doorstep.That's what really gets me, you open the door, and people will actually start a debate with you there and then ON YOUR OWN FLIPPIN' DOORSTEP!
If I don't believe ... leave it at that ... I let you believe and don't try and sway your decision, I leave it at the fact that you believe ... I HAVE FREE WILL LEAVE ME ALONE!
At the end of the day, this might not be the best blog ever but seriously, in modern day society and the way we have excelled in technology, why oh why are people still following a 2000 year old book? ... that was written by men, in a patriarchal society ... religions frown upon discrimination, racism and inequality, but you discriminate against us non-believers, or half believers ... what's more discriminative than the bible. It was Eve's fault her and Adam got chucked out of the Garden of Eden, because she persuaded him to eat the forbidden fruit. This is why women "should suffer" with menstruation, child birth. Its women that created original sin ... This is why people get christened, well actually it's because infant immortality rate was high at some point in history and to be cleared of the original sin that you were born with you had to be baptised, so parents had their children baptised at an early age so if they died, they'd go to heaven. Surely if we're all God's children, God isn't going to let a helpless infant that's turned up at his gates go to the firey pits of hell. The bible was written in a time where "women knew nothing" ... equal opportunities and everything ... why did it take 1994 years for females to be ordained and be counted as part of the Church of England ... because of the bible, written by men, told by men and made up by men. How many ethnic apostles were there? Love thy neighbour as you would love yourself ... whatever it is ... what about all that business with the black slaves ... am not a historian and true, I don't know much about any of these but there has been so many times, when people higher up have treated people "lower" than them like shit on their shoe, for flips sake were all human, doesn't matter about race, nationality, hair colour, sexuality, ANYTHING, if biologically and scientifically your catagory is human WHY ARGUE? WHY FIGHT? Of course, in this world not everyone is going to get on with everyone but can't you just ignore the people you don't like, even if they can't do it to you, your one step ahead for being an adult about things ... AND WITH ANY RELIGION ... what is this whole thing about must have place of worship, worship starts at the home ... and stays at home, a church wasn't originally a nice ornate building for people to go listen to someone read from a book they've already read ... a church meant a gathering of people with the same belief. Since when has god ever said he wanted you to build a place of worship ... worship in the places he apparently gave you, a nice meadow, nice forest, beautiful landscape? Who gives a flying poo if it's raining, you have commitments to your belief ... a simple creation like rain shouldn't bother you. I once asked the question "If Religion didn't have a names and all this segregation between religions, would there be less war?" to which my Catholic RE teacher replied with the biased view of "don't be ridiculous, it's like me not calling you by your name" ... clearly she was caught of guard and didn't have an answer and wasn't quick enough to come out with the all famous "It's god's divine plan" which would have fitted no better than what she actually replied with. Since then I've asked many people the same question, and they all think I'm right. If religion was just, people are religious, they believe in something, who could say their religion was the right one? Or better than someone else's belief? Jesus died on the cross to stop the Jews thinking smugly of themselves and looking down on the Gentiles ... so why has it come to segregation of religions again?
Thanks for reading =) Again, I'm sorry if I've offended anyone, I didn't mean you in the general sense counting everyone. Toodle-pip =)
