I often try to help out with answers to peoples' questions on our local Forum. Every now and then, somebody comes up with a blatant attempt to cheat on entry to Port Aventura, the local Theme Park. This Woman just got me mad, and I took her to task over her request. I don't often link to the site, but it struck me as I read her final reply ... want more evidence that I hate the 'I want it all, and I want it NOW...and I'm NOT going to pay for it!!' attitude I don't need to tell you who I am http://pub23.bravenet.com/f...sgid=847320&cmd=show Nick

Lots of that goin' around nowadays. You're fighting a losing battle tho--too many "me-me-mees" to keep up with. Just ask 'em--they'll tell ya.

That Forum is flawed IMHO, because, just as you posted, Brian...anybody can! With no comeback, because you don't have to identify yourself to post. This leads to the most appalling posts at times And it is usually ME who gets 'revealed' by Moderators, because I am a 'snob' and a 'Capitalist!!!!!!' Hahahah!! Isn't it strange how, in one Forum in Europe I am Capitalist scum, and sometimes HERE in a Forum inhabited by mostly Americans, I am a European Socialist ) Just shows how perceptions are so differing in different Countries I await the accusations from the 'Socialist Workers' and the ' National Front' supporters to come on (when they are drunk, or under the influence of some substance or other ) and start saying your post was made by ME...and then somebody will denounce ME by name I made my point there, and I don't give a durn what they say. It was probably wasted anyway...pearls before swine comes to mind Nick
How bourgeois Nick, that you, The Capitalist, won't go buy your poor downtrodden, underpriviledged proletariate of a countryman (woman) her theme park tickets. You, being the caring person (tho robber baron) that you obviously are, should immediately implement a viable "Five Year Plan" to facilitate a Great Leap Forward for this poor woman.
Nice replies Brian....soooo nice to have somebody on MY side for once I'll get blamed in the long run, bet your bottom dollar Don't care The woman is such a blatant liar!!!! THREE adults have to accompany ONE 5 year old on such a boring and arduous assignment 'We won't go on many rides...' Nah. of COURSE you won't!! If the child kicks up a fuss because it CAN'T go into the theme park....just imagine the horrible scene, every time they walk past ANOTHER ride they won't go on!!! Bah...STUPID GREEDY PEOPLE!!!!! Nick

Hey someone go to an all you can eat buffet and eat your fill, then slip me your receipt so I can use it to try to get at the buffet too.... Some people just don't get how business works. I didn't post, and wouldn't, as some people will not understand unless they are in the other shoes.

And of course, it just doesn't cross their minds, or they just don't CARE, that it is one of the reasons things become so expensive that they can't afford it, but steal it anyway. Covering the cost of shoplifting and Insurance frauds and tax evasion runs to something like 30% of the TOTAL cost to customers in the UK nowadays. MORE than the Sales Tax they have to pay. Everybody moans about the high sales tax, but nobody condemns fraud. Cue Queen again 'I want it all, and I want it now'.
