Fuck me let me guess some 30 something uni grad wrecked out of his nut for 5 yrs who gets all his experience from books

Of course its relevant you fool of the inherent dangers of homeless people, the safety nets they have in the west ie you handing out your bowls of soup compared to the dangers and poverty of the African homeless .

Hmm as they say travel broadens the horizons

As for educutun when I was at school only very few stayed on to the 6th form, the swots. Now for the last 25yrs every fuckers at uni Drugging it up, pissing it up, then wondering why they cant get jobs stacking shelves at Tescos

Why is it relevant? The experience of an African person is totally removed. It is their experience in that place. A 13 year old in a South Asian sweatshop sewing trainers all day for a couple of dollars wouldn't care if it were pointed out somebody in Africa might be literally starving or that at least they've got a roof over their head as somebody sleeping in a Bradford doorway in the snow hasn't. Why should a homeless person in the UK care what's happening in Africa? Is it supposed to somehow make their life better or justify their predicament in some crazy fashion? I think it far more pertinent to their predicament to point out some of their countrymen are multi-millionaire tax dodgers who wish to destroy what safety net there is supposedly on the basis we can't afford it while they fleece the public purse of billions.
The UK only got a safety net in the first place because people fought for it. It is currently being incrementally removed. Largely because 'I'm alright jack' types like you might say retarded things like well there are children starving in Africa you know.... Are you going to post a Daily Mail article about benefits scroungers for an encore?

If you actually think the so-called 'safety net' actually catches everyone, then I think you might have been spending too long globetrotting and lost touch.


If so, how come it evidently failed in your case?

Were I young today, I would never have gone to university because I come from a family who could not afford to subsidise me and would not have wished to spend my working life paying off an enormous debt. Access to education is something that is being pushed towards something it is far easier for the affluent to access whereas previously everybody could access education up to degree level.
Unfortunately, there is also a pervasive

So earlier you claimed 10% of ex service people are homeless. You claimed you know this because of "studies". So you go around claiming Oooooh I've lived me. Nobody knows the world like what I do. I've been to loads of countries and met a miniscule proportion of the people living there in a particular context so I know all about everything, but then you happily cite "studies" when it suits. Who does "studies" - "swots" do studies don't they? And you're happy to use bookworms as a source of authority when it suits. Because obviously while personal experience is very important and can be very valuable, the thoughts, research and data collection of other people is also valuable isn't it?

But hey - who gives a fuck about homeless ex-service people anyway? People are far worse off in Africa, right? I'll make sure if I encounter a homeless ex-services guy, I'll tell him he's got nothing to worry about because people are worse off in Africa. Why did you even bring it up? Fuck 'em - right?

I'd say you've probably had lots of interesting experiences that are worth hearing. unfortunately, you appear locked into a somewhat solipsistic mindset whereby you apparently find it difficult to see beyond your own experiences and understand that of others.

Throughout history, educated people have been considered problematic. For example, when the Nazis invaded Poland, they liquidated the intelligentsia and planned long term to keep the Polish masses educated only enough to work for them - stifling a broader education that would cause them to think about their situation would increase the likelihood of rebellion. In the early 20th century, working men's associations would club together to buy books and/or thrift editions would be published so the working classes could educate themselves and thus be better equipped to stick up for themselves. Of course that's a certain sort of education, not teaching people just how to assemble circuit boards or market iPhones. And of course everything we know about the past is the product of people being educated enough to make sense of it and you certainly can't hop on a plane and go visit 1941 or whenever.

I think you would be well served by actually broadening your mind, not assuming it's happened by default just because you've been to lots of countries.

So what happend with all this education then ? Same Governments, same working class

Eh? Have you been locked in some capsule since the 1980s or something?

I left school at 16, was NFA for a number of years...and then went to uni.

I've never killed a man in order to put bread on the table though.

I've never wanked a pig either.

Am I man enough merc?
