Since then I have been accused of hating dsabled people and wanting them worked to death. I then posted that I couldn't understand how anyone on benefits could find themselves in foodbanks and asked what they could be prioritising over food. Since then I have been accused of hating the poor, loving the rich and wanting the poor to die. There are endless other examples but that'll do for now. It's rare to be confronted with those levels of stupidity. I mean, you hear about it, but you rarely see it in action. Many of them are teachers by profession too. Sheesh.

IMO. I don't think the teaching profession has ever been respected. They've moved from routinely beating the shite out of defenceless children (oh that brings back memories) to teaching chldren how to pass tests. And along the way, they've made it almost impossible to sack a bad teacher. As for policing, we all know about what's been going on there over the last 40 years with corruption, racism, law breaking and routinely forging evidence to send innocent people to prison for many years. Neither profession can be trusted on any level. It's where far too many people who are no use for any other job end up. The worst part of it is the natural instinct of both professions to "look after their own" rather than the communities they are supposed to serve.

Most teachers take treat their jobs as a vocation. They have the best interest of their charges at heart. I know many who go above and beyond, especially in these difficult times, to ensure their pupils get as close to a normal education as they can. You are so up yourself you think, if anyone doesn't agree with your blinkered, selfish outlook on life, they are the stupid ones. JEEZ.

Yep. It's about manipulating people for your own ends. That's precisely what I've been saying all along. Almost all people have friends for their own benefit - largely to stop them feeling bored and/or lonely. I've yet to see many counter examples. I'm happy to be free of all of that fakery.
