Payney is right, the Mail is aimed at middle-aged, middle class white supremacists and women :)
Policy and media assistant for the UK operations of an international charity (bit of this bit of that). Off the record the mail is fornicating horrible... however they sometimes do good stuff on the contributions of women in the family its just a shame they want them to stay there.Captain Hook wrote:What job is that mate?josh fg wrote:my first job in the morning at the moment is to read the guardian, the times, the sun the mirror the financial times and the daily hate mail.

Society would be a better place if one parent stayed at home. Two working parents is the crucible for materialism over parenthood, spend over save and the catalyst for everything that is wrong in society, particularly those problems associated with the young. Knife-crime, teenage pregnancy, anti-social behaviour, obesity, morale antipathy, lack of respect, petty crime as well as debt, benefit addiction for those old enough to acquire those two ills etc.josh fg wrote:Policy and media assistant for the UK operations of an international charity (bit of this bit of that).

Agree with you 100%. This is what's to blame for the credit crunch.DavidPayne wrote:More people could if they had more realistic aspirations.

I know it cant happen....and I know I sound pompous and out of touch.
Disagree it isn't as simple as this, whats wrong with society is ethics and morals are dirty words. Schools aren't allowed to teach them, parents don't have the gumption or responsibility to teach kids right from wrong.DavidPayne wrote: Society would be a better place if one parent stayed at home.

How can a woman provide the home, diet, care, stimulation, patience, love, educational input, the moral lessons to her children if she works 20-40 hours a week? How can she BE there for her kids, if she isn't, actually, there?
Thats my view, and I wont be persuaded otherwise. I'm not against women working and plenty are hard working more cpaable professionals than I, but children are a choice, and with choice comes sacrifice, if you wont make that sacrifice - make different choices.
I know there are thousands of examples of exceptional parents who have to live the life above because of the departure or relationship break-up and they do tremendously to survive anyway they can. But for all those who claim they need two incomes to maintain or achieve their standard of life, I ask - and what criteria are you basing you standard of life? Providing the parameters and environ for your children to flourish, giving them the gift of time and attention or how many inches your LCD is or whether you kids have been to Dinseyland or how new your 4x4 is or whether you can afford a big fridge to cater for 12 bottles of Jacobs Creek?
My house works on simple rules. And my children will be better, healthier, happier for defined role models and a structured existance.
Fingers crossed:-)
Junior Witter fought really well by the way.
You're on £35,000 and get £1,800 a month? Are you getting taxed to fornicate or is it your pension plan mate?jamesmcdonnell wrote:Who defines realistic aspirations, you?DavidPayne wrote:More people could if they had more realistic aspirations.

Also, it very much depends where you live. If you live in London - unless one partner is earning about £50,000 a year how are you going to afford rent, bills, transport, paying for a kid?
I'm on the best wage I've ever earn't (about £35,000 a year for those who are interested) and even without a kid, and my partner working as well, and no plasma TV, Car or other expensive toys), and I struggle to get by with outgoing of around £1800 a month. If I had a kid and my partner didn't work, we would be absolutely screwed and basically living hand to mouth.
Agrred, I'm not his biggest fan but on Saturday's form he and Ajose would be a good fight with the winner deserving of a title shot against Bradley. It's last chance saloon time.Terry D wrote:Fight like he did on Saturday, defeat Ajose Olusegun. Witter boxed really well.
