They must have had a reserve candidate instead of using this low life.

Yeah... and watch that ten year old make far more of it and understand the virtue of hard work and business along the way. Plenty of people spend that on plastic carp for their kids over a year at Christmas and Birthdays etc , nothing unusual about it except my parents wanted us to understand how the world worked and that you'll never get rich working for someone else... and guess what, I have.

"have you seen any of those airport type shows spath?"

Urmm.. think you're taking one extreme to another.. A guy with 5K worth of weed isn't smuggling heroin across boarders.

[naomi24]

spath, how come you know all these 'facts'?

[spathiphyllum]

because i live in the real world and don't get all my material from the daily mail or airport programmes.

[spathiphyllum]

also, is it not common sense?

[naomi24]

spath, no it isn't common sense. I'm not sure what 'real world' you live in, but people who deal drugs do it for the money and for no other reason.

[spathiphyllum]

Yes, that's what i've been saying.

[naomi24]

spath, you've been saying they have no other option and don't earn much anyway. As I said, bunkum.

[spathiphyllum]

"People deal drugs because they're in need of finances so they hustle under the system because it's not catering for them. From this they gain life skills and business skills. If they then get sorted by the system and don't need to pursue this 'career path' then why would they resort back to potentially being in prison? "

That's my point.

[naomi24]

spath, //they hustle under the system because it's not catering for them.//

Which system isn't catering for them? Getting a legitimate job like most other people do is a good idea.

[spathiphyllum]

So you think people go to the job centre and walk away with jobs just like that? You don't think there is a massive unemployment rate?

OK, maybe you do live in another world.

In fairness that's funny Spicey :) x

HAHA that was a goodun, No i'm not into any drugs or the distributions or supply of drugs. However i am a young man who gets about the town a bit. Has a lot of friends, and someone who people feel they can talk to.

[spathiphyllum]

Also i listen to a LOT of rap and podcasts.

//However i am a young man who gets about the town a bit. //

And you run a company don't you?

[naomi24]

//You don't think there is a massive unemployment rate? //

No, spath, there isn't. These people are the lowest of the low. Stop making excuses for them.

What are your thoughts on burglary Spath - good business?

[spathiphyllum]

lowest of the low? They're not politicians and bankers naomi..


RC, i do, garden related.

[spathiphyllum]

Ludwig, burglars are the only people who want you to do well.. so they have more to take.

Good business i guess if you get away with it! Not that it's moral.. with drug dealing, those buying want to buy, and if not of you, will buy of someone else.
