  2. i don't think i am missing the point. if enough people boycotted the census there is no way lockheed martin would be given future contracts for similar information gathering projects. at the same time the government couldn't possibly withhold all the money that has been pledged for local communities. they would have to ask what people were objecting to. i can't be held accountable for the fact the government have made an error in selecting an arms company to collect information about the family i'm part of and care about. lockheed martin have a very poor track record in terms of previous clients. don't let me tell you, do your own research. maybe you could start thinking for yourself. if you think the government really care about you and your family you're probably too late to see the truth. the elite, the ruling classes, of this country control the politicians. they control you, all too easily judging from the comments within this forum. please government, save me, tell me how to live, tell me what to teach my children, tell me what to feel as often as you can. i find it so hard to make my own mind up. it's down to you to guide me, old friend. i wonder who's top of the premiership?
  3. hello there Huguenot and thanks for the response. you're entitled to disagree with me but you're not entitled to insult me or make unhelpful judgements about who i might be and where i'm from. because i have a different view point to your own, that i clearly explained without being aggressive (unlike your own conduct)does not make me an idiot. i honestly don't believe my grievance over my tax being used to support an arms company that makes money by killing people in agonising ways is a short term quibble. it is because i am thinking of the people that will be blown apart by these munitions that your advice for me to 'think of someone else for a change.' falls flat. i've served in the armed forces and i now work in the fire brigade. i don't think the label of pampered prats or childish squawking fits me or any one i've met with similar views. the retarded outlook on life you suggest i have is full of contempt and anger and is unwelcome. i have enjoyed considering your position and the views of the other users on this particular forum. i didn't realise we were all supposed to agree - oops! and if you plan to respond can you be less aggressive? i hope that's not asking too much.
  4. i think many of the people planning to boycott the census are aware of the implications. breaking the law and facing a potential fine of a grand is not for the faint hearted. i don't know what that has to do with reading the guardian, drinking coffee or taking any moral high ground? i'm pleased folks have the minerals to do this, despite the pressure weighted against them to sit and do nothing. surely it is the game and not the player we should be pursuing. if someone doesn't want their tax to go towards arms companies that's their choice isn't it. that sounds like democracy to me! remember folks, out with anger, in with love!!
