My Reponse To M.E.N. or Why Are People With Opinions So Stupid?

In response to an article about the new anti-squatting laws on the M.E.N. [Manchester Evening News] website I've spent the morning countering the theories of some of societies greatest political and philosophical thinkers under the name of Neil Stevens. Observe our L33t debating skills:

Result! These out for nowt spongers will have to find jobs and pay rent / mortgages like the rest of us.

I am not talking about the genuine homeless, I am pointing the finger at the full time protesting, vegetarian, pot smoking, hippy eco warrior types!

Neil Stevens (just now)
What? I'm sorry but what have YOU been smoking?

You're making out that this law is justified purely to hit back against a tiny sub-culture that barely exists any more whilst many more people, mostly homeless, will go punished for trying to find shelter for themselves in unused buildings. Do you have you any idea of compassionless, petty, uninformed and jealous you sound?

I mean, it's hard to tell over the internet but are you trolling this forum or do you genuinely believe that "spongers" or people who soak up resources through the benefits system, would then go on to live in a run down building and not instead claim housing benefit and live in a fixed address - a fixed address and bank account being a NECESSITY to get any kind of benefit in the first place.

And as some body who is working on paying their own mortgage so they can own their own home, does it not make you mad that there are people in the world who have more property then they can keep up with maintaining and casually forget about? They are part of the reason your mortgage is so high after all.

Also, have you ever considered how hard it would be to get a job when you have no home? How difficult it is to get a nice suit and shower for an interview? Have you seen the price of razor blades? I'll bet that's never truly crossed your mind, having a home and all it's never been a problem for you, but I should trust you know your stuff to back up such a strong statement.
After all, you are right of course, all those pesky long haired hippies that litter our society are the REAL villains here. They are just being inconsiderate by not following the rules and undermining your crippling mortgage payments by not paying to live in property [a basic human necessity to survive]. How dare they manage to get by without being forced to work most of their lives away for a pittance reward which is instantly stripped of them by government in taxes, bankers in interest repayments, utility bills or other such expenses that undermine the hard work you do five days a week to get by, thus keeping you in the same standard of social living. Yes, yours are not the words of a jealous person.

I don't wish to make the assumption that your being a thoughtless person who makes knee jerk reactions to social situations, points the finger in the wrong direction and makes a fool of themselves on the internet. That would just be unkind.

So because you are not the kind of person, then you must know how this law is a firm attack on any one who does not already OWN their own home. You know that you cannot celebrate the fact that these roaming free radicals now have to be forced to "get a job" whilst also ignoring the fact that the homeless who require squatting to survive will suffer the most by implying that some how you have sympathy for the GENUINELY homeless - as if by excusing them from your hatred it some how makes this law better for them. This is a law that effects everyone equally and it may one day effect you. It is without prejudice or morality and is indiscriminate to whom it effects. Hippies or homeless or recently evicted family or run aways or the mentally ill or , it's all the same to a piece of paper.

So maybe you'd like to re-think your statement, because like it or not it is a harmful law to those in society are need protecting the most.

'Crackdown on squatters ‘will put people on streets’'

But only for as long as it takes them to get back to mummy and daddy's house in Cheshire or the home counties where their old bedroom will be waiting for them just as they left it when they went for their gap year in some reeeaaally reeeaaally interesting places.

So that homeless man I see in town who stinks of his own urine, no body speaks to and resembles an over grown thicket is actually a middle class gap year student who just never went home?

Yeah. Grow up and develop some actual basis for your mindless hatred.

TOUGH let them get a job other people have to.
How easy do you think it is to get a job when you have have no home?

-----

Scum all of them 
Yes, the Tory party are scum, aren't they?

-----

I cannot believe that this has taken so long to pass, It must be absolutely horrendous for anyone returning to their own property, which they have borrowed money from a bank to pay for, to find some scum bag, shooting up, smoking weed and peeing all over their property without a care in the world. As for the policeman of over 25 years, lets see how you feel when you are not allowed by law to enter your own property because somebody else has taken refuge in it and claimed squatters rights, Come on pc good heart, you must know loads of empty buildings, and railway arches etc, direct them all to such places and get them away from normal tax paying, working, law abiding society. And if they are such ok people, give some room up in your house copper and come home from work to see them on your couch after a 12 hour stint. dont think so copper, do you?.
I'm assuming that you've got first hand experience of people doing this to yourself? Or to a close friend or family? Or to a neighbour, or their friends or family? Or some body on your street? Your local area? Your council district?

Oh wait, no you probably don't. Because it rarely ever, EVER happens. And because you read about it happening in a news paper it MUST be happening everywhere all the time. Monsters they are. All of the squatters. A genuine problem for society . . .

Oh no, hang on, they live in unoccupied buildings and usually fix them back up to a livable standard and harm no body until whomever owns the building pays enough attention to their own property to do some thing with it. Why are you not more annoyed that there are people out there who own more buildings then they can handle?

-----

Good! There's a big difference between genuine homeless and these leeches that have used 'squatters rights' for far to long!!!
You are right. Squatters are homeless people who live in an unoccupied building owned by some body else without their permission. Genuine homeless people have the moral decency to sleep in a urine cakes shop door way. How dare they?

Not one of mine but a crackin' response -

About time too. Squatters are amoral parasites.

Just like the monarchy then.
