It's called a classical education.
I don't expect you to be able to differentiate one person who makes a religious statement from another who makes a statement that simply contains the word Hell.
For me this is rather like trying to explain the esoteric value of a syllogism to loaf of bread...
...Oh, that actually is what I'm doing!

Yes, this is aptly demonstrated by your savage ignorance of the subject matter you have introduced here.
Hope you're enjoying this as much as I am.

Ha Ha Ha.
He just doesn't get it.
He's a walking, talking caricature of himself.
The answer to the last statement you made is... ALTOGETHER:
"You are too busy to bother with facts!"
Everything you say and every posture you make has already been amply satirized by every culture for centuries.
Are you seriously telling us that you think that you help your argument by openly stating that you have a salient point to make based on observation and then admit you are, in actuality, too busy reaching conclusions to bother with any facts?
This is the funniest thread I have seen ever!
Hitler would have had good use for someone like you (and did).
He used dopes in brown shirts to take out what he told them was trash... and then disposed of much of them because they were seen as dangerous due to their stupidity!

Well I find you lazy.
And since, even by your own standards, I am further up the evolutionary ladder than you I therefore get to be the one to pass judgment surely?
So perhaps it is you that deserves fuck-all.

Ha ha.
How can you reach the conclusion that someone making the statements I make can possibly be jealous of anyone with money?
You sound like the one whining about your tax bill not me.
I've just thought... do you even read these comments or do you just make it up as you go?
Must be hard for you though because I suspect you are unfamiliar with reading anything that isn't in a speech-bubble and printed on a page with lots of colourful pictures.

"Having said all that, I agree with you in that the elderly can live on what they get." "Being warm, watered and fed is fine and dandy, but I know plenty of rabbits that are warm, watered and fed."
I find this comment a tad simplistic.
First I think it is worth pointing out that gas prices to the consumer went up a staggering 42% in 2008. Even though wholesale gas prices have been reduced by half since then, the reductions in these gas prices have only resulted in approx. reductions of 10% to the customer. Hence the far too late enquiry proposed by Ofgen. As I am sure you know gas prices are about to go up yet again.

So oaps have had to contend with enormous heating price rises over the last few years and are now on the receiving end of rapid increases in basic foodstuff prices. This has occurred in an environment where pension rates in Britain are amongs the lowest in Europe and many oaps find it very confusing on what and how they can claim for any supplementary, means tested benefits.
Many oaps have to cut back substantially on heating in order to have some money left over for emergencies e.g. boiler/cooker packing in etc. Although grants are available, there are problems e.g.

A number of surveys have shown oaps have a real fear as to whether they will be able to pay their bills in winter e.g.

So in response to your comment, Samuel that the elderly can "live on what they get" and implicitly can be "warm, watered and fed", I have to say that this is an over-generalisation and surveys do not appear to back this up for a whole host of different reasons.
How oaps have and are being treated in this country is a huge cause of shame for both Labour and Tory parties.
