    "The couple, who live on benefits in a council house and plan to start a family, have been friends for years. "

    Let's see how fast the leash comes off when their loafing on the government gets pulled from them.

    I'm shocked! Outraged! Disturbed even!

    These two are the modern day equivalent of Rosa Parks!

    :garamet:


    Seriously, they're only being assbags for the attention.

    Regardless of them trying to get attention, the driver took the bait.
    Sorry, as long as they aren't breaking any laws, you keep your opinions to yourself and do your job.

    For example, a bud of mine works part time at an auto parts store. One time he refused to help a male customer put on windshield wiper blades
    (or some simple part) because he feels a real man should have the skill to do that himself. :jayzus: Perhaps, but that's not your business. Maybe he has a learning disability, or never owned a car, or who knows why?

    Look, it's not my bag. And yes, they are kind of parasites (but within the British system it just isn't as rare as one might hope).

    But none of that should keep them off a freaking bus. Here we have another officious asshole attempting to inject his judgment as to whether someone's lifestyle is acceptable or not. If they're not bothering anyone, who gives a shit. If your tender, little sensibilities are offended, too fucking bad.

    The BBC reported this a couple of days ago. They said the bus driver was concerned for the couple's safety, because braking suddenly w/ the woman on a leash might hurt her.

    :unsure:

    Fair enough, it is unsafe. But "we don't let freaks and dogs like you on the bus" doesn't seem to fit into any safety lecture I've ever heard. :(

    Yes, the phrase "We don't let freaks and dogs like you on" really expresses his deep concern for her well being. :rofl:

    Sounds like the bus driver/company is back-pedalling and tap-dancing

    Where's Dan? These two get free room and board. I'm curious why the Government doesn't provide everyone with free room and board. If healthcare is free to everyone, shouldn't housing and subsistence? I mean, why not? It is, after all, free. Right?

    Fuck that. We need more people telling obvious parasites and freaks to keep it behind closed doors. If their sensabilties are being hurt, fuck them for dressing in black and being led around on a chain in public.

    Cut your hair, wear some color, get a job, and if you want to act like your girlfriend is a pet, do it on your time and in your home, but don't expect me to say I approve because it'll hurt your feelings if I don't accept your "lifestyle". That whole you must accept me no matter what is part of the decay of western civilization.

    What the fuck? The picture depicts them as two able-bodied persons to me. How long can someone who have no physical abnormalities live off the dole in Blighty?

    Let's be honest; the situation in the states isn't much better. All she would have to do is squeeze out a few kids and she's set for life. He can't pay, and what kind of a business would hire someone looking that (outside of retail) and pay him enough to support his family?

    Turn off welfare and watch how quick they stop acting like fools in public.

    Goths do have a very interesting sense of fashion.

    I tend to wear all black myself but usually just your normal t-shirt and khakis. I actually dress so as to avoid a lot of attention.

    I prefer blending in to be honest.

    No they don't. They look like fucking circus clowns/vampires. And why shouldn't they, after all someone else is subsidizing their existance.

    All of them? :garamet:
    I've said before, my only argument with goths is that they're so bloody dated. Hell, I dressed like that nearly 30 years ago, and I never got kicked off any buses.
    Got stared at. But that was the point. ;)

    Freedom of expression is great, but failing to excercise that right in moderation will have its consequences. And your kink is NOT something that needs to be anywhere but behind the doors of your house.

    We have intolerence of people shunning freaks and treating them like the worthless pieces of trash they are. We have intolerence of telling pathetic leeches that when they get treated they way they deserve it isn't a hate crime but rather a reaction to their "lifestyle". We have intolerence to people demanding the world have standards. We have intolerence for people that don't say "whatever you do in public is a-ok with me!"

    But then again I'm just a throwback that gets pissed off when I see people wearing hats indoors.

    No one cares whether or not you approve.

    The problem is that the driver insulted them and tried kicking them off public transit because of how they dress. When you're an employee serving the public, you're paid to keep your personal opinions to yourself.

    If I started insulting the public at my job, I wouldn't have one the next day, regardless of how justified some people might think I was.

    The guy has a look to his face that makes me think he's an utter dickhead, and that if I spent more than three minutes talking to him I'd want to punch him in that smug face repeatedly.

    best for me to avoid people like him, I think.

    She's pretty hot for a goth chick, if only because she's got pretty good skin and she's not hideously fat. :shrug:

    She is pretty hot at that, but I bet she's this submissive little wallflower that relies on the guy to tell her what to do.

    Meh. She's probably so boring in bed she'd put most us here to sleep. Good looks only get you so far.
