From what I've read on here, and from what I understand, overall I think it results to the government and their sly ways of conning money and people, I think they're rediculous.
Some of you English people will understand what this is about; people from other countries won't because I don't think you 'benefit' from this; benefit, yeah right.
My point is EMA; Education Maintenance Allowance. I'm just 17 years old and I do not recieve EMA. This is because their income boundary for EMA is £30,000 a year. My step dad is on £40,000 alone. My mum is on £15,000.
My first point is that it's my step dad on the high payroll, he is not my blood-relative. He is not going to give me any money, why should he? We live in a quarter mill house, I have 2 brothers, a baby brother and one at primary school. My mum's money is already spoken for right there, among debts and such. I recieve no income. But they don't seem to understand that.
How is EMA paid for? Taxes.
This is what bothers me the most, it's all abig con. My parents pay for peoples EMA through their taxes, but I don't recieve it because MY PARENTS, i mean.. My step dad is on a high payroll? Great.
Some of you will reply with telling me to get a part-time job. I have done, but it's difficult to goto college full time, then work part time, among sociailising, and such.
My point of the story is, the government are shit.
So many good posts in this thread its hard to pick one, so I'll just go for this.


Labour is a socialite party, its gradually been built up over the years from years of taking shit from the Conservative wing. Conservatives don't give a fuck about the working class, and this is where it gets interesting. Margret Thatcher wanted privatization, which effectively means that you pay for what you use in terms of services, and if you can't pay, you can't get. Now this is all good if you can work and earn your way through life, but there will always be a populace that regardless of the opportunitys that life throws at them, their own misfortunes, or their own bone idleness, they will always be at the bottom rung of the ladder, what happens to these people is they die off because of privatization.

Labour is a party which has effectively bonded and formed from the working man (Labour) over the years, they speak from predominately the left wing. Some of there core fundamentals are that we should all be on the same level, much like communism (also a left wing trait) and that people who succeed and achieve and fly high above the average, should have to pay for that success, through restrictions like higher taxes, which will be used, in turn, to support the people with less. Labour really cares little, or has forgotten about, the middle class, and this is where the majority of the native British people fall, they have been completely forgotten about under a Labour government.

Under Labour, if you have something but your struggling, you recieve nothing, if you have nothing, you recieve big phat benefits, and as for the Upper Class, they make their own way.

.......... We now have a left wing party with right wing characteristics. A party that started out promising work, good living to the working class has now turned into some really really fucked up capatilistic regimentation.

Americans are infact the total opposite, they are predominately right wing, they fuck the poor in the ass, and the rich are idolised, relished, treated as a protected species.


Terrorism has nothing to do with religion. Religion is a tool. Terrorism would happen regardless of whether religion is in the equation, as to the extent... its hard to tell. Relgion is a catalyst, people can use its universally 'good' message to do very 'bad thing's, so you really have to ask yourself whether its religion that kills people or people that kill people.
