Sk8r dudes who listen to rock and 'Mosh'  :punk:

585716437[/snapback]

Erm excuse me, I don?t know if you are joking, but I?m actually quite offended by this..

Id probably class myself as a skater/surfer/mosher dude (whatever its called nowadays), i used to blade, and skateboard.. but not as much anymore because I don?t really have time but i would if i could! However, even though I listen to a wide spectrum of music (this includes rock and i do go to 'rock' clubs on occasion) there seem no basis in this fact on which to place a prejudice on a group of people..

For the record, I also go to RnB, and Dance clubs and the other night I spent half the evening in a rock club listening to some pretty coarse metal and the rest in the local 'trendy' night spot both having an equally good time.

The reason people dislike 'chavs' is a damn good one. They are often quite threatening in behaviour with their hanging around on street corners in large groups, older ones usually leech of the state, having nothing to do most days and basically they have nothing for anyone to aspire too or look up to in them and what?s worse is that they are often too stupid to even realise it.

What I have described above, is, unequivocally, a rampant stereotype of the lowest class in British society.. but that is my definition of a worse case scenario chav and it is a shame that people paint the whole of most of this underclass in a similar manner.. because it isn?t all like this.

The same painting with a similar brush seems to go with how you put it 'moshers' now I agree that they can also sometimes come across threatening with many having piercings and tattoos etc, but these people are some of the most intelligent I have ever met, and great to talk to, they have their own interesting opinions, can hold a decent conversation and don?t want to start fights all of the time. Having said that iv met some pretty cool chavs at Uni, not nearly as many as I have alternative dudes though (a:D dudettes :D)

So please, next time when you rampant stereotype someone either give reasons or just be quiet because it is plain to see that chavs are the manky underbelly of society today and quite frankly the alternative scene patently isn?t (well some of them are) but nothing compared to the 'chav culture' because skater / mosh is a lifestyle choice, not something they were born into on a council estate.

Sorry for the rant.. feel free :) argue back :)

Chav=Scum

They all need to be gathered up, sailed out to see on a large ship and then have as many rockets fired at it as possible.

I have yet to meet a nice one and I have met alot. They all think that they are so clever, and hard and cool. Their just scum.

I skate but why should i have to walk down the road being abused by little f***ing idiots who think shouting "Grunger!" behind me makes them look hard.

I blame schools and parents for not disciplining them enough. I got punched in the face while in a gcse EXAM by some little p***k. His reason was "He's a grunger." The school banned him from school for just one day while forcing me to take an exam covered in blood and semi conscious. What kind of discipline is that? They should of brought back the cane long ago.

Another example is when a friend and I were out skating at the local skate park. There was some little kid there who was nine on a BMX being an idiot. We just ignored him. My friend brought his bike but left it chained to the railing because he wanted to skate. The little kid came upto us and said "who's bike's that blud". My friend said it was his and the kid walks two feet behind us and says to his friend "Lets go get some bolt cutters, we can have that bike". He is dumb? Does he think we cant hear him? Any parent that lets their child get like that need to be out onto the ship too.

After that when we tried to leave he flicked out his knife and said "you got phones blud?". What the hell are you you supposed to do to a nine year old with a knife? You cant hit a little kid. In the end my friend just grabbed the knife from him and threw it onto a roof.

I blame the parents mostly. People say don't blame them its not their fault how the kid turned out. Most of the time the parents are just older versions of scum.

They should all be wiped off of the face of the earth.

</rant>

Sory about ranting but they really p*ss me off.

Jesus f'ing christ.

We dont need to know about certain people you hate. We've had these threads too many times before. You don't see us making tons of threads about rednecks, republicans (:D), or anyone else that we personally dislike. Just put it in an LJ

(Yes, I do have a Live Journal, but I'm not the stereotypical emo, cutter, etc. that uses it)

Well said!

Personally I cannot stand them, My neighbourhood has been taken over by them, when there not hanging out around the shops, there beside my house on a tiny patch of grass riding there "modified to make them noiser" motorbikes, some are even in there 30's. Believe me the noise is unbearable and constant everyday, and i hate the way they make me feel, I feel like grabing a rifle and blowing up their gas tanks. I've seen kids brake into cars, smash windows, throw things at pensioners the list goes on, and they get away with it everytime. The sooner something is done about these vermin the better!

Ah, I apologise. I was referring to a previous post where you just said..

I hate them. They are the dregs of the earth.

They need to be classified as vermin and hunted with high power rifles.

I guess im classed as a "mosher" then. But i really do hate some of those people that hang around in their Burberry or whatever. And u never really see 1 or 2 chavs together, there has to be at least 10 of them.(I wonder why).

Where i live has always been a relatively calm town, now all the chavs come around, the place has become a complete sh*t hole. Rubbish everywhere, cars broken into, shops broken into. And they all seem to smoke drugs everyday, drink everyday. And they are always the dumb ones at school. But i dont know if thats the same in other places.

Its a shame that it has come to this, people being seperated because of what they wear, what they do and what sort of music that they listen to. And my brother dresses like a chav, and we have never really been bothered about what we wear and what we listen to. We just get on with it, and dont let it lead to fighting and argueing.

Sorry for ranting as well, but its something big that is changing britain, and im not sure about other countries.

    • Microsoft AI boss no longer believes that AI will replace human workers by David Uzondu Mustafa Suleyman, the head of Microsoft AI, recently took back his statements concerning white-collar jobs that he gave to the Financial Times in an interview made back in February, where he claimed that AI would replace office workers within 12 to 18 months. On Monday's episode of The Verge's Decoder, Suleyman recast the technology as more like a helpmate than a tool designed to take over your job. He explained that smaller office duties will "increasingly become digitized, automated" as people generate more digital materials. During the discussion, Suleyman emphasized a "very important distinction" between "tasks" and "jobs" to clarify his previous claims. He argued that his earlier comments only referred to individual actions that people perform at their desks. Suleyman used to work for DeepMind, the research lab he co-founded in 2010 alongside Demis Hassabis and Shane Legg, before he left in 2022 to establish Inflection AI and build an empathetic digital assistant. Microsoft hired him in March 2024 to lead its newly formed "Microsoft AI" division, placing him in charge of consumer products like Copilot, Bing, and Edge. His February comments also detailed plans for Microsoft to achieve self-sufficiency with a $140 billion infrastructure budget to train frontier models, predicting that creating a customized AI will soon feel like creating a podcast or a new blog: The 41-year-old is not the only AI executive who's softened his "AI will replace you" stance. OpenAI's CEO, Sam Altman, last month used X to push back against employment panic by arguing that his startup builds tools to assist humans rather than build replacements. He had previously garnered backlash by suggesting that many modern office roles that AI might replace did not qualify as "real work" in the first place, at least when you compare desk jobs to physical, historical labor like farming.

    • Meta will now use data from outside businesses to personalize AI responses by David Uzondu In an update that's rolling out globally (except in a handful of countries), Meta will use your data from outside businesses to personalize your AI responses and your primary feeds. Meta already utilizes your shopping activity to target ads, but the company now plans to expand this tracking to personalize other "parts of your experience" like feed algorithms and AI assistant chats. The company is replacing the two settings ("Your activity off Meta technologies" and "Activity from other businesses") that currently let you disconnect off-platform activity with a single, renamed setting called Activity from other businesses. If you don't want Meta to manipulate your feed and AI responses using your outside history, you can just turn the Activity from other businesses setting off in your account settings. This toggle resides within your Accounts Center, applying your choice to every connected profile. Turning this off will not stop companies from sending your data to Meta. The company will still collect your web interactions, but it only uses them to train products, while still accessing external accounts you connect. When The Verge spoke to Meta spokesperson Emil Vazquez, the representative said that this update will exclude several locations at launch, including the European region, the UK, Brazil, Thailand, South Africa, Turkey, South Korea, Ecuador, Nigeria, and Kenya. The new update comes at a time when the social media giant is recovering from a major PR disaster involving generative AI. Last week, there was a huge security issue on Instagram where attackers figured out a way to trick Meta AI into handing over account ownership (even if the victim had 2FA enabled). Some of the affected accounts include the dormant Obama White House profile, cosmetics brand Sephora, the Chief Master Sergeant of the Space Force, and security researcher Jane Manchun Wong. Internally, the company also had to scale back plans on its Model Capability Initiative (MCI), an employee-monitoring program designed to train corporate AI models by recording worker keystrokes and screen activity, after employees raised privacy concerns and complained about severe battery life drain.
