purpleronnie Posted 9 December 2013 Posted 9 December 2013 One of the great things about being a street guy must be the freedom of movement, And abroad, thanks to the EU.
Guest MattP Posted 9 December 2013 Posted 9 December 2013 Matt spend a couple of nights on the street during tempatures in the minus and then come back and say how wonderful it is.Why would I do that? I'm capable of filling out a form therefore I have no need to be a street guy.It's a perfectly reasonable question to ask why thus guy choose Newport. He got from Latvia to England so I don't imagine Newport to London would to difficult. Have you pitched my idea at DNO yet to go out and round up the homeless over xmas? My offer still stands that I'll even come and help you? And abroad, thanks to the EU.
Captain... Posted 9 December 2013 Posted 9 December 2013 I have a theory on crime - prevention is better than cure; so it is better to stop crime through harsh punishment rather than cure these scumbags via rehab whilst inside Was with you up until that point. Prevention is better than the cure, but the reason why I don't commit crimes is not fear of getting caught, nor fear of the punishment, it's because I was brought up right. I'm pretty sure these 2 fvckwits didn't know the intricacies of sentencing for juveniles and I'm pretty sure one didn't turn to the other and say "but we could 5-10 years for this" and the other replied "Don't worry boyo, we'll be out in 2 thirds of that if we behave ourselves inside." The other replied, "good point, it's not like anyone has any fun in their late teens anyway, we'll be out just in time to start grinding out a pittance on minimum wage." As he stuck the boot in. Prevention involves education, of parents and children. Teaching people to respect all people and know right from wrong from a very early age, and identifying and helping those that show the signs of violent or antisocial behaviour. Making tougher sentences is an easy thing to do, and hey it might even win some votes, but it doesn't address the real causes of these violent cowardly acts, fortunately still quite rare in this country.
Rincewind Posted 9 December 2013 Author Posted 9 December 2013 The bloke I know who started the Inside n Out magazine spent time inside and he says it is no holiday camp as some believe (usually those that have not been inside) He survived because he gained respect inside and the inmates came to him for advice. He said he even had the toughest inmates come to him in tears on Xmas Day. But when in groups they acted tough. They have to or be bullied. Young offenders institutions are worse. People I know went into Glen parva the other week. When in front of others it was all acting big but when on their own they opened up saying how they really felt. The bloke I mentioned read a poem out the other week about bullying. Basically the author was saying that they had suffered bullying for long enough and no matter the result would stand up against the bullys but in doing so questioned whether that makes them a bully too . I found it. Sorry if its too much. Bully Boy From Brooksy - HMP Leicester In prison you will meet them allSome are big, and some are smallAlthough, everywhere you go, you will meet a ‘Bully Boy’The kind that intimidates and uses you as their toyThey will do it to you in all kinds of waysAnd do to you, on most of the daysIt can be done with a violence or come from the mouthDraining your emotions and sending your bottom lip southIf you think you can tell on them, you become a grassThen you will find, the ‘Bully Boys’ come in massSo what do you do when you meet your ‘Bully Boy’?Do you hurt yourself, grass or become their toy?Do you let them hurt you or rob all your canteen?Let the others join in and become the victim machine?‘No’ Mr ‘Bully Boy’, you will not be bullying me todayCoz I’m not your victim for you to play!I’ll stand my ground and show how weak you really areI’ll slash your face and leave a nasty scarMaybe “I’ll†get “my†mates and we rush “you†in the showerLeave “you†bleeding and start flexing “my†power?It’s not like I can grass or show my weaknessSo I become stronger and lose all my sweetnessI’ll fight back and hurt you and maybe all your matesSoon it will be “you†paying all the canteen ratesSo now I live large and you have become “my toyâ€And the sadness sinks in, as I realise I’m the “Bully Boyâ€
Guest MattP Posted 9 December 2013 Posted 9 December 2013 Even for you that's an outstanding display of irrelevance. Did you pitch my idea to DNO?
Rincewind Posted 9 December 2013 Author Posted 9 December 2013 The poem came from this mag http://www.insidetime.org/index.asp
Ross-Kemp Posted 9 December 2013 Posted 9 December 2013 Christmas hatsThat makes more sense than most the normal drivel spouted on here
MooseBreath Posted 9 December 2013 Posted 9 December 2013 At night he creeps into his shed Decadent thoughts swim through his head Cos' hidden in there is his favourite toy The one he calls the bully boy Big, thick and black with a suction cup He applies some lube and pushes it up But then at the point of climatic screams He wakes up, it was all a dream He's in prison Being raped.

With poems like that Moose, you could end up homeless.It can happen to anyone you know.
Guest MattP Posted 9 December 2013 Posted 9 December 2013 Down and out, inside out Come on panj, we'll give you a shout Never been caught, here's a thought Get on the train, head to Newport A shirkers paradise, food banks galore The rich not invited, only the poor It's cold outside, if you think its not try Get to the shelter, fcuk that, I'm getting high.

MooseBreath Posted 9 December 2013 Posted 9 December 2013 If he does then his poetry can only improve because he would then be writing from the heart. You mean to say people have to become or have been homeless before they are able to be in touch with their emotions?

Guest MattP Posted 9 December 2013 Posted 9 December 2013 Is not the big snooze on this year? I'll do it if we can raise some money for charity.

Charl91 Posted 9 December 2013 Posted 9 December 2013 There once was a homeless man named Martin Who in the day found his food in a dustbin After something to eat He would sleep on the street But then MattP covered him with urine
Saxondale Posted 9 December 2013 Posted 9 December 2013 I'll be frank - I can't be arsed to read the story. There's enough other awful shit to depress me as it is. Instead I'm going to watch the following video:
