Aerial

Last night the radio antenna was stolen from my car. Fair enough, it's only a screw on one, but that's not the point. Why should I have to put myself out to take a trip all the way to a car parts place to fork out a few pounds for a new one, when I did nothing wrong in the first place!?

And I'll bet it was done by chavs.

Fair enough, it's not nice to stereotype. I tend to hang around with people who others have referred to as "scary", mainly because of tattoos, dyed black hair, piercings, loud rock music and motorcycles, but I've never ever met any goths/skaters/rockers/bikers that weren't some of the friendliest, most welcoming groups of people I have ever met.

I frequent some rock clubs, and if a "townie" goes in, no one looks twice. Yet my brother has been physically abused by random strangers because of his "rock" look, and, of course, they were chavs.

All the chavs I see are usually up to no good. Hanging round in supermarket entrances, car parks, playgrounds, McDonalds. And why?? Who knows?! How sad can life be?

I saw a while ago a piece on ITV news entitled "The State We're In" which had a feature on crime. It featured footage of youths actually committing crimes whilst knowingly being filmed. They then hurled a heavy object at the cameraman.

And I'll give you three guesses what social category these youths fit into...

Chavs.

Get a life you sad sad people. Do something. Go college, get a good job. Don't sit there on street corners shouting abuse at passers-by. They don't want to hear it, and quite frankly, you're making their lives a misery.

That's me done.

Gay?

Today I was reading this article on BBC News. It quite sickened me. To think that in a world where we are supposed to be learning to accept each other and our differences, there are still people that hold these ancient views. And these people are effectively World Leaders. I found a list of reasons why people are against gay marriages and came up with the following thoughts...

* homosexual acts are immoral
How are they?? People can't help who they fall in love with, or feel sexual desires towards.

* marriage is a fundamental and unchangeable institution
Since when? You telling me that the Pope's role has not changed a single bit to adapt to the modern world that we're living in today? Probably has. And just as someone like the Pope's role can change, so should the role of a legal marriage.

* marriage is traditionally between persons of opposite sex
As I say above... Is the Pope traditionally German?

* if same-sex marriages are recognised then bigamous, polygamous, incestuous marriages and marriages with animals must be recognised
How are any of these moral? Marriage is about a committment to one sole person. So that rules out bigamy and polygamy. Incest doesn't exactly produce the "best" offspring, and as the Catholics seem to harp on about marriage being to rear children amongst other things, why is incest any good? And as for animals, they don't have a say in the marriage so it would be unfair.

* same-sex couples can't have children
Your point? Does this imply that infertile people should be prohibited from marrying?

* society has an interest in promoting marriage as the environment for procreation and child-rearing
Society also has an interest in promoting equal rights.

* same-sex parenting is less good for children than the parenting found in traditional family units
Can anyone back this up?

* same-sex parenting may bias children towards a homosexual life-style
Is that in the same way that heterosexual parenting may bias children towards a heterosexual lifestyle? As all my gay friends are from heterosexual parents!!

* same-sex relationships are less stable and less faithful than opposite-sex relationships
I know more straight people who've been unfaithful that I know gay people who've done the same.

* same-sex relationships are open to greater health risks
Are we living in the stone age? Stick yer dick in someone with HIV and you'll stand a chance of catching it! Don't matter which end it is!!

* allowing same-sex marriages will damage the institution of traditional heterosexual marriage
Sounds like someone's locked in the 18th Century here... grow up!!!

Hi, I'm R.

I'm nearly twenty, and live in the East Midlands. I caught the blogging bug a few months ago reading about it on the BBC News website, and decided I wanted to blog.

But what about?

I don't really do a lot of interesting stuff. I work in warehousing and logistics by day, and rock out at night.

I've often been told I'm a very opinionated person. Sometimes not at the best of times. And I'm always full of some rant about my latest "hatred". So I decided maybe I could let some of it out on here. Maybe it'll actually get read by someone. Maybe it'll just occupy its little corner of the WorldWide Web on its own. Who knows, we'll wait and see.

Anyways, I'm going to attempt to write my first post now, and I hope it provokes some debate and interest.

Yours

R
