I didn't say they had. I said they gave birth to ungrateful fuckas like you.
Few weeks back there was another one slagging off his parents as spoilt boomers who had life handed on a plate. I'm willing to bet they had the exact opposite of life on a plate. Unless they had rich parents who left them everything. Or they sat on the dole all their lives while bringing up their kids.
It amazes me that anyone slates their family on here just for likes, giggles and point scoring. I'd never do it.

I’m half listening to the telly reporting on a study that the Pension Commission have published a study expressing concerns that people aren’t saving or contributing enough to workplace or private pensions - especially and unsurprisingly in the lower to middle earner category.
Soooo
After I’m dead and gone there’ll be a large number of people who are no longer working but, due to the inevitable ever-rising state pension age, don’t have enough set aside to cover the gap after retirement until state pension age. And then will be largely reliant on state pension.
And discounts probably.

New to this thread so apologies if it's already been covered, but has anyone mentioned Student and Blue Light discounts yet? The discounts given to those who have contributed less/fuck all to the nation's coffers?
A retiree has paid more in tax and NI than a currently working nurse I'd wager. Nugget.People with blue light discounts contribute less do they?

Depends on their respective circumstances. At the extreme end,
A senior nurse in their 50s will have paid a hell of a lot more tax & NI than say my inlaws.
That was provided in the grant you received unless your family was loaded where you had to make a contribution.
Absolutely tonnes won’t have like.
In your opinion. Which counts for naught.

Seems an odd offset though.
Take people born between say 1950 and 1975, tell private businesses they can not give them discounts. Older people who were war time fine, then people who tried to get on the housing ladder after 2000 get them when they are OAPs.
Just because of house prices at the time.
I said usually permanent. In reality discounts aimed at Christians will exclude almost everyone (unless they change which is not massively common) not Christian for life.
Then obviously there are logistics issues. I can prove my age. I can not prove my religion or lack of.
Surely you are not trying to claim being over 65 is the same as being Christian?

Any dive into statistics would prove me right. You're just shit-stirring again.It counts for as much as your opinion does, so I’ll take that
I’m just saying age is no justification for a discount. I’ll never agree with it, you always will. It’s where we are. Somehow it’s become the latest topic on which you and others tell me how much better than me you are

So you are saying OAPs should not get discounts, because various benefits they get, might not be available to you when you are an OAP? Is that the crux of it?
