Something else that just annoys the living daylights out of me:
Tax breaks for people with kids. I should get a freakin tax break for not having them !!!
They suck up tax dollars with free schooling and all of the other special programs they get, and then there parents get a FREAKIN TAX BREAK !!! Arrrrgggghhhhh. So I end up paying for someone else's kids freakin education and gas for the school buses, ect. ect, ect.
Parents should have to pay MORE not LESS and get the hell outa my pocket.

Agreed. And also people who eat really noisily when they go to the movies. I went to see Starsky & Hutch a while ago... there was this old couple sat opposite me and they chewed the whole way through the movie. Every time I looked, they had different stuff, including popcorn, gummi bears, and this really crunchy chocolate stuff. They left a mess on the floor afterwards, too.

Then you have no right to bitch about "paying for old people", they earned it.
Wait until your older and actually have a job. Your resentment will have moved from "old people" to the "freeloading dole monkeys", just like the rest of us.

Besides, when you get older and can no longer care for yourself, others will pay for you.

i don't have a problem with paying for old people, i have a problem with paying for foreign old people that havn't done anything for this country (in fact her father fought against us in the war!) and are already being payed for by their own country

but how do we know it's only one old lady, there could be old people all over england getting two pensions, there are old peoplein england who could really do with a bit more money, some can't afford to heat their homes at night and many of them die because of it, if we didn't give people from other countries that already get a pension another pension we could afford to give our own pensioners more money

When you set up an orginization to look into these matters, you have to find people to work, a place to work, computers, phones, and other electronics to do their job, office supplies, and on top of all that, they have to have things like job security and health care for employees and stuff.

in the short term maybe it would cost more money but eventually it would pay off. don't get me wrong though, i have nothing against people from other countries getting a pension in england if they've worked in england, my mum was born in Malaysia but shes worked hard as a nurse in england for nearly 20 yrs and will continue to do so for many years, its only right that she gats a pension from the british govnt., i would never expect Malaysia to give her money because she never worked there! (although im not actually sure if people get pensions there anyway), it's mainly the fact that she's never worked here that annoys me
