You stay on CUK despite it being safe to assault you here by calling you a grade A idiot without recourse from the mods

I've not missed an election (local, European or general) held since I could vote.

My theory being that if you don't express an opinion when it might matter, you forfeit the right to express an opinion any other time. My in-laws never vote because they don't know enough to vote one way or the other - but they never moan about how things are run because they accept that they had the chance to influence and did nothing with it.

Alternatively you have no right to complain about the outcome of a process you lend your moral sanction to.

I, on the other hand, ask for nothing more than to be left alone. I have every right to complain when molested by people like yourself who choose to vote among yourselves on how best to violate my right to not be assaulted, while calling it 'democracy' instead of 'assault'.

[SpontaneousOrder]

Most certainly not.

I couldn't in good conscience lend my sanction to the idea that a man may vote away another man's freedom - as if consensus has some perverted power to make violent thuggery equal civilised interactions.

The country provides the opportunities.
To seize them you need that work ethic thing.

You didn't build that!

If you are an IT contractor you are either rich or "fu**ing stupid"

I'm not an IT contractor any more. I just come on here for amusement

cretins with 4 or 5 children ...

I think that's a tautology.

Exactly. There are quite a few very rich Somali pirates.

Both of which are better than being a pimp

[SlipTheJab]

Lib Dem seat here, blokes a good constituency MP, Labour are targeting his seat and are up to their usual tricks, negative campaigning etc. I will be voting for him just to keep that useless lot out.

[Batcher]

Why do you think I'm rich? You don't know my personal circumstances.

Assuming makes an ass out of you and me.

No it doesn't. It makes an ass out of you and ming.

[FatLazyContractor]

So like he said - a dangerous assumption that he's rich Lots of poor people on CUK - tax dodgers who HMRC caught up with, divorcees, etc.

And cretins with 4 or 5 children ...

The country (state) made him rich? Surely through his solid work ethic and self-motivation he made himself rich. You big leftie
