On A Happier Note

[Less]

A fair bit is said about our youth not wanting jobs, avoiding work whenever possible, willing to put up with the dole rather than do anything.

I would like to take a chance to say well done, you prove that the above isn't true.

What the heck am I talking about?

Well the young lads and lasses that wander up and down outside ASDA and a few other places wearing billboards, perhaps you haven't noticed them?

They advertise a furniture warehouse, well done to them and well done to the company that employs them, they are probably on a minimum wage, but I admire the fact they are out there in public showing they are prepared to do what the majority of young folk would like to do, WORK.

i too commend them, only my suspicious nature, i am always curious as to the reason they wear a mask, i like to think its to avoid the embarrassment of doing such a job, and getting unwarranted stick off their peers, but good on em for earning a few quid doing what ever it takes, for this they have my upmost regard, however the more cynical side thinks, its so the social dont know they are working and signing on, i hope i am wrong on this count and its the former.

its horrible always seeing the negative in things

As they obviously don't provide the costume, makes it a no-no to me.

Yes it is, and in the second post as well in a thread praising our youth rather than slamming them, obviously you need to consider you're thoughts before applying them to the site.


What a shame could have been a nice friendly thread.

i do wish you would actually read my post rather than your usual knee jerk reaction, you may find that they are not always what they first appear.

as for my thought applied to the site, its an open forum, thats the idea, different peoples thoughts.

only you choose to just put people down for having an opinion, oh well same old

 

[cashman]

I read yer post n thought the cynicism was unwarranted, n possibly done fer n ulterior motive.

 

[churchfcrules]

and what ulterior motive could i possibly have?

for pointing out one of my own failings!

Yes, I put down your negative thoughts in a positive thread, do you do it deliberately because I started it, or without thinking because you are just a nasty person with nasty ideas?

 

[susie123]

Would you like to have a go at me too - cos something similar had crossed my mind as ChurchFC posted.

Or perhaps let's put the big wooden spoons away, stop stirring and have a sensible discussion.

probably just a nasty person with nasty ideas, or a realist

dont flatter yerself that much less, would have posted exactly the same whover made the comment

i DID commend these yung people for doing anything they can too earn a few quid, wish there was more like em, i have done it as i am sure lots of others on here have to

but dont pretend that this sort of thing doesnt happen, where scrupulous employers pay way below minimum wage and cash in hand, nasty person or not it happens

Well as neither you susie nor church have responded to that thought/comment i'll stick wi what i think, thats sod all to do wi stirring its common sense.

 

[churchfcrules]

didnt respond because i didnt follow, wasnt clear enough for me to comment on, as for it being obvious that the employer provides the costume, how so?

I'm sorry Cashy, I didn't understand your comment otherwise I might have been able to respond.

Where in my original post was I using wooden spoons? Why just because you find yourself as cynical as he am I wrong?

Surely both of you should just butt out and let folk with real feelings answer the thread?

 

[churchfcrules]

oh i get it now, only post on less thread if you agree 100%, 95% aint enough
the spoons was your response to my post i believe, instead of allowing a fellow member to have their say, you just shot em down for having an opinion that differs slightly

Have you ever seen these kids? Or are you simply assuming that they wear cheap masks from the pound shop?

 

[churchfcrules]

i deffinatley have, is that relevant?
the fact that tghey are wearing a mask that is now way out of date as far as pop culture goes
was lee francis former personna he moved on from that around 5 years ago, long time in pop culture that

So having a contrary opinion does not count as having real feelings? No one said you were wrong, subsequent posts have just added caveats and different thoughts to what you said, no one has shot your thoughts down in flames.

And yes, if you cut me in half you will find "cynical" written through like a stick of rock - I get it from my dad who was the most cynical person I know.

Do you know, I get the feeling that you might just bare a grudge for something I don't give a damn about.

Now do I tell you to sod off, or just suggest you go away in short jerky movements?

Or would you consider it hurtful?
