: It seems everyone is interested in what I'd do if I had money and that my views eminate from my socil position and job.

Yes, everyone is interested in what Gerald would do. This whole group centers around Gerald. All hail king Gerald.

: Well, I'd do the work I like best good old proletarian labouring like building but I'd no that I'd have a good house and standard of life like everyone deserves but what a lot of proles are prevented from having.

Hmmm, who would prevent them from having these things, surely not their own lazyness (in most cases, not all cases). I'll bet it's Cara's fault, right old buddy?

: Would I give it to my work mates? NO NEVER because they are capitalists and politically ignorant and would waste the money.

I think that you are being politically ignorant. Or at least closeminded. You should be able to accept the views of others. I have learned to accept your views. I have low tolerance for people who feel that they have the right to place others in stereotypes.

: Would I give it to charity? YES I'd do like Rage Against The Machine did after their money spinning U2 support tour and give it to groups seeking to further socialism. I would first invest it and the annual dividends I would distribute amongst the Zapatistas, my favourite unions, Amnesty International and various other groups I wont mention. Now this is using the capitalist system against the corporate fat cats!!

: I'd have a massive party first that you could all attend and I might even subsidise you travel expenses if your socialist (this is musch the way the U.S. would subsidise Cuba if it renounced its values).

But wouldn't you use it to feed the poor?

: By the way I'm a teenager and I dont see money as my only incentive Mr Bacon, Cara is just conformist.

I was young once. I too had ideals. Don't worry, you'll grow out of it. I don't think that Cara is necessarily a conformist. I have read some things of hers that don't conform at all.

I agree with Dan that there should perhaps be a debating room for teenagers. Then you and Cara can call each other poopy butt to your hearts desires
