You could just as easily have said politicians who fiddle their expenses...
Thats fraud too.

I know - but it is a serious debates thread and others are infracted for glib comments - just trying to factor in some consistency and all that.
I also agree wholeheartedly about politicians on the fiddle too.... but that's a whole different topic altother.
As for you taking offence: I'm not entirely sure why you (or anyone who doesn't pay their tv licence) should - as it is, technically a criminal offence to not pay up. I understand you and others not agreeing with it: I disgaree with your reason for refusing to pay though. That's the difference.
It's not really all that different from people who don't pay their car insurance, don't pay their car tax: the rise in cost of all these things is because of people who don't. It's entirely your choice to not pay - but that doesn't mean you or anyone else should take offence - because it is in effect: meaing others who do pay: have to pay more in the long wrong. I don't agree with that.

My income Pyramid, whatever it is.however I have it is actually none of your business anyway, far too intrusive questions and ones I wouldn't even dream of asking you.
Far from me reading into your comments things you say you haven't said. it seems more like to me that you cannot seem to read the comments you have said and the way you have said them too.
That's it I am off,you can talk to yourself now but I am offended by you and you are wrong Pyramid, words I never believed I would be saying to you ever.

I didn't ask what your income was Joey. I didn't suggest you were at Uni doing nothing.
I didn't ask about the whereabout of money you have.
I didn't say all students were wasters.
I didn't say your household did not pay for a tv lic - I asked how it came about that divvy up towards it.
Perhaps as I say: take less time taking offence - and a little more time reading what I wrote.
