Some People

I’m going to have to ban myself from going on some forums for the minute I think.  Some provide me with far too much, and very alarming, information regarding the government’s plans for scroungers like myself.  Of course, I’ll once again ignore the degree and the fact that I’m job-hunting while still on income support.  Anyway, back on track, these same forums also expose me to the views some scary pro-Tory people have regarding scroungers like myself.  Now I’m past the upset panicky phase I’m thinking a bit more rationally.  I do not know these people.  They don’t know me.  Their opinions don’t matter to me.  They shall not affect me at all.  Ok, so the government's opinion may well affect me, but that’s not the point.  Anyway, given the way some people talk about the likes of myself, I’m surprised they aren’t proposing banishing us all to some ghetto somewhere.  Seriously, it’s as though we’re the complete scum of the earth.  And naturally all the current financial problems are our fault.  Grrr.  So, like I said, I’m not so upset anymore.  I wish I could completely ignore it though, but unfortunately given I’m only human (yes evil pro-Tory people, we are human!) it does get to me.  I try not to judge people.  I try to be tolerant.  I guess some people just like to treat the less fortunate like rubbish.  Perhaps it makes them feel more important or something.  Wankers.  Well, for all those people who would argue I’m scum of the earth for leaving The Ex and claiming benefits, I’m just going to say, at least I didn’t marry the wrong person (yet).  At least I’m happy with how my family life is at the moment.  So, I might not have the career I’m wanting (due to being unable to train), but at least I’m generally pretty sorted as a person.  And my daughter is bloody amazing too.  Let’s not forget a child is a lot happier when their parents are happy too.

And not everyone in my position is here because they chose to leave a miserable relationship.  Some have been widowed.  Where is peoples’ compassion?  Oh yeah, the majority don’t do compassion.  Or tolerance.  I hate this country sometimes.  Ok, I’m going to be honest and say I just hate some people.  Not everyone.  There are some pretty cool people out there actually, and I’m fortunate enough to know some of them.  But the majority are crap.  At least I’m not one of them though.

And on that note I need to cheer myself up.  A picture of Richard Kruspe courtesy of the Rosenrot fan forum:

Yes, I am aware I need a life.  But this man makes the one I’ve currently got so much more bearable.  Yay.
