to jail? Isn't jail the less stressful alternative now..no taxes, no utility bills, free courses, colour t.v, pool tables, three meals a day.

Is there any point in flogging your guts out doing an honest job anymore?

  1. my honest opinion is go to jail, i know it sounds barmy but it is the easiest option. Once you are released you get free priority housing no one will touch you as you have a record so you can just milk the system for all its worth..........:)


  2. The easiest one is to have loads of kids, apply for aid and then constantly apply for job you'll never get.

    You get to live at home and watch your income roll in for free.

    Better than prison cos you get to go out and have fun at the nations expense instead of only get put up and fed.

    Thats what a lot of people are doing these days.

  3. : ) give over youth.

    You defo don't know what you're on about...

    Just hope you never have the 'privilege' of doing some proper time...

    Put down The Sun and get a life.   : )

  4. I guess if you think it's that attractive you will be going there will you?

    Or is it a question of don't do what I do............etc.

  5. Well, my (very law-abiding, very hard working) fiance has been trying to get funding to re-train ina skill or trade so he can get out of minimum wage driving work - and found it impossible.  If you are working you have no chance.  The Government simply don't help.

    His younger brother has been sent down for 3 years for possession, affray, GBH etc etc.  You can guarantee than while he's inside he will have a whole host of retraining opportunities available to him and also when he comes out - his parole officer will make sure he gets accommodation, retraining grant and other freebies,  he will end up better off than we are and we'll be asking HIM to lend US money . . .

    Makes you wonder why we bother obeying the law doesn't it?!

  6. Join the army and stop being such a little whiney kid.

  7. you have a duty to show your kids the right way. criminals are generally thick brainless losers. they leave a trail of feral kids behind them like a filthy fly leaves maggots. is that what you want for your self and your family? .....yea! some times it gets you down to see the b@stards walk free and get first pick of every thing BUT!!! come on........criminals have no self respect. they are low life losers. and every time they pass a mirror they are reminded of that fact. i would rather starve than lose my self respect. i suspect that you would too. put your feet up and have a brandy. its not so bad being you.
