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.

    • I literally tried to install it on my PC today and it crashed upon every start up. I tried all the tricks, terminate and remove cache, uninstall, reinstall, reboot, install via winget.. in the end I had my call with Brad Wardell on Google Meet. Oh I also tried Teams on the web, and got no video or audio (yes I allowed mic and camera).
    • Microsoft explains how it made Teams so much faster in 2026 by Usama Jawad Microsoft Teams is Redmond's flagship online communication and collaboration tool, primarily used in enterprise, government, and school environments. It regularly receives updates, with Microsoft frequently revealing features currently in development as well, such as Efficiency Mode and a dedicated app for meeting recaps. Now, the company has shed some light on the backend enhancements it has made to its popular software in 2026. During the first half of 2026, switching between chats has become 20% faster on desktop and web, which is especially great for less powerful devices or hardware on weak networks. Microsoft explains that it tracks two types of chat switches. The first is a warm switch, which relates to returning to a recent chat, in which case it is most likely already present in memory and should load extremely fast. The other is a cold switch where a chat that hasn't been opened recently is now opened. Naturally, the second type of chat switch was causing the most notable latency spikes. Microsoft realized that this was happening because of three reasons. First, the query to fetch conversation data was being fired too late. Next, queries were being sent sequentially, increasing the overall round-trip time. Finally, there was no handling of response priority, which meant that non-critical responses would sometimes block the main thread. Microsoft solved all of these problems by firing the data query immediately, bundling queries to be sent together so that they wouldn't create a "waterfall" effect, and enabling faster painting of the frame. As a result, warm and cold switches now have almost the same latency, and the only distinguishable difference between them is due to the data layer response time. Next, Microsoft focused on reducing app hangs and freezes on macOS and iOS by 35%. On macOS, the company has a health monitor thread running in the background that does exactly what it says on the tin. The tech firm built a dedicated StackDecoder tool to analyze health monitor's output at scale. Through this combination, it decided to move several error reporting and monitoring threads either to the background or treated them as an asynchronous call so that they wouldn't block the main thread, causing Teams to freeze. On iOS, the same result was accomplished through optimization of computations, caching, offloading operations from the main thread, refactoring database access behaviors, deferring non-critical tasks, and more. On a related note, it also made people search 25% on iOS by optimizing the query pipeline, and efficient database task queuing and scheduling. However, Microsoft has emphasized that improving Teams' performance is an ongoing endeavor, and that it hopes that these efforts will continue to make the software a reliable partner in online communication scenarios. On a related note, Microsoft recently unveiled some upcoming performance upgrades for OneDrive on macOS too, and you can check those out here.
