Description
Full view might be better...Anyway, this is what I see when I go up the road a bit. I don't really have anything to say.

I don't think they are flowers! Or rather, it seemed to be a corn kind of field to me.

I used to.
I don't live there now. I live in London.

Oh cool! Which part, if you dont mind me asking? I grew up in London
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
South West... around the Croydon area, like. Surrey and that lot.
You?

Oh cool 
I grew up in Southall, which is not far from Heathrow. I still go back alot as my dad lives there but I live in Milton Keynes now.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Ah, I know the one.
That's pretty awesome! Do you like it? O.o
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Do you?
Southall or Milton Keynes? Southall is ok, its where I was born and grew up but I like milton keynes, its alot more looked after, the parks and lakes and woodland is so clean and photogenic. I am happy here.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Interesting...
You take a lot of photos of it?
It's not too bad. I am surrounded by old folk?
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
I dont have many photos of southall, I always feel cautious getting my camera out there unless i'm with someone.
Why are you surrounded by old folk?
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Ah.. how come?
We live in a .. we live in quite a rich place, and only old folk can afford it, if that makes sense?
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Well Southall isnt the safest place. Its alright really though and I keep going back to visit family so it cant be all that bad really.
Sounds nice! You are lucky to be brought up in an affluent area.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Oh right, I see.
True enough, that.
Eh, we can't actually afford it, but my parents like houses like these. I'd prefer a tiny place.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Yeah.
Well as long as you are all getting by its good really.
I guess one day you will be able to move out and find a place that suits you.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
haha You dont sound so hopeful about that happening?
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Not at all. Well, it's somewhat of a conflicting for me, I guess you could say.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Sometimes it feels like I'll never escape, I guess.. it's a massive thing to be entirely... independent, or autonomous, even.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Yes I actually understand your view there. I want to leave home but cant financially just yet. Are your worries financial?
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Yes, that is the same too... the world revolves around that, doesn't it? =/
You need money to survive and all. >.>
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Yeah its quite true. I started out training to become an airline pilot but due to lack of ground based jobs it means I cant fund my flying at the moment 
Are you not having much luck?
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Ah, I see... that sucks. =/
You've got to move with the world and its climate, I suppose... at one time, airline pilots were all the rage and then.. yeah.
Police officer? >.<
Good luck with that. I can't say I am fond of them myself, but eh.
Well, I'm working steadily towards my goal, but... it'll take time, I think.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Yeah its ashame but like you say you have to roll with the times and its an unfortunate time really. The airline pilot job was great at one time, as you said, but times are different now and as they make us pay for our own training now the amount of qualified pilots outweighs the jobs available which means the airlines call the shots, no matter how much it costs us.
Yes a police officer. Its a job that has always taken my fancy, but I was always too dedicated to become a pilot to really think about it until recently
Aw why arent you fond of police officers? No one seems to be really.
Oooh whats your goal?
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
That's a fair point.
You roll with the times a lot?
True, true.. that sucks. =/
They can afford to call the shots now, yes.
Interesting... well, one door closes, another opens?
Hmm... it's mostly the abuse they execute, I guess... they're still human, but some of them act greater than that. Also, I just have a personal ... opposition, I suppose you could say, with authority and whatnot. =/
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
haha No, I generally dont roll with the times, but under these circumstances I feel I have no choice. I'd like to settle down soon and start a family. Right now im a single and the jobfront is the only thing I can change, meeting the right woman is out of my hands really.
Yes, its not nice when the employers (airlines) can call the shots in such a way but thats how it works now.
Thats the problem really, with a few bad eggs everyone remembers them, however they forget about the good officers that manage to arrest murderers, rapists, abusers, druggies and dealers etc.
Yeah, some of the bad eggs have used excessive force etc but additionally sometimes it looks like officers are using extreme force when they are not - the normal way to deal with someone thats trying to resist arrest or fight is to target pressure points - it temporarily disables the suspect and allows an officer to make an arrest. It all looks very hectic and harsh, but this is only because the suspect is being difficult and making a scene.
Oh I see. Any reason why you have difficulty with authority?
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Ah... that sucks. If you had the choice, you wouldn't do it then?
That would be nice.
True... at the moment. I think stability is good to get first, and then you can move onto the other level on top of that, if that makes sense?
It sucks, that. >.>
Yes, that's right.
Hmm... but that's sort of... they have to do that, no? I'd rather we understood the whys behind it all, but.. eh. I don't know. I'm not comfortable with the prison situation at the moment.
Sometimes.
Other times, it feels inhuman.
Just the abuse, and the position, I guess. I don't like the idea of anyone thinking they are superior or who will... act on that, if you get what I mean?
We need a certain type of authority, but.. I don't know. A lot of people have done a shit job at the moment.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Thats right. If I could I would carry on flying.
Yes, stability is the important thing and once thats established, as you say, I can move on to other fundamental things that will improve my life, as such.
What prison situation is it that you are not comfortable with?
I dont think most officers feel superior to you, its just a job whereby if you break the law they must make a decision under the circumstances as to what they need to do about it. An officer arresting you doesnt mean they think they are better than you, it just means you broke the law and they have to do something about it.
What kind of authority do you think we need?
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
That would have been amazing... There is a thrill in it, I suppose, though you have to experience it to get the full picture I guess.
True. Get the fundamental stuff settled and out of the way and then you can layer it on one after another after that.
I feel that we could put less money in prison... perhaps more on reforming, or actually... executing people. I'm not against capital punishment, but ... it would depend, of course.
I just feel we're wasting a lot of resources there, not to mention there is that ongoing debate that prisoners should be able to vote and so on.
Possibly.
Not all of their stuff is with law enforcement, though. The way they handle things... eh. There are other ways of doing it.
As for authority... I'm not sure if this relates at all, but I'd rather we focus on the reasons, or the intentions, or the 'why' behind it all rather than actions, or something on the surface. Often, it feels like we don't have the patience or time to go deeper than what the subject... needs. Like we see the riots, we judge the actions there, but we don't do anything about the reasons why those riots escalated in the first place, which means that it may happen again because it hasn't been resolved.
Does that make sense?
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Yeah, hopefully I will be able to keep flying
Yeah I agree, like you say, its about getting each thing done and using it as a layer to move on to the next.
I understand what you mean in a way. When I was a kid I used to be for such things too but as I got abit older I have been abit undecided on the subject. For example, what if the wrong person is executed, thats robbing someone of life but also their family too. However, I do understand in clear circumstances for murderers, rapists etc it could well be a justice served in some light.
In what regard do you mean that not all their stuff is law enforcement?
I think that sometimes the reasons of why need to be looked into after the police have managed to deal with the situation - for example, an old school friend of mine is an officer and my dads girlfriends son is an officer at the same station, 2 weeks ago they had 4 friends and colleagues that were stabbed by a guy and in those circumstances police can't ask why, they must act.. now hes in prison they can offer him a psychological assessment etc but when the crimes are being committed the police havent got time to take each person aside and ask them why they are acting that way, its too dangerous.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Maybe one day indeed. There is still time, right? Though no one can predict the future, as such...
That's pretty cool, anyway. I think I'd just go just to look at what things are like from a bird's eye point of view?
Understandable. That makes sense.
Yes, that's right... but with capital punishment, I'd rather it was for repeat offenders kind of thing, if you get what I mean?
True... depends, I suppose. I mean, most don't have family, or were forsaken by their family, which partly prompted them to act this way?
Depends on how you see law enforcement, I guess. They do a variety of things for society, and government itself...
That's understandable in that situation. If things are like that, then it's better to apprehend the person and then question later, but some of the ways they go about it aren't human, or aren't as human as it could be.
Just thinking of injustice, really. I read somewhere that during the riots, a woman got arrested from drinking from a can that was stolen or whatever. It's easy to lay the blame, or cast aspersions and so on.
Sometimes, they get too into their role, and that may be because of conformity, or another type of mentality. Zimbardo did a study on that, and... although it was a study, there is some truth in it.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Yeah tere are some really good views to be seen from up above
Hmm yeah that makes sense. What method would you use for it though? Chair, injection, or worse?
I dont know. I think some turn to crime for the sake of it.
Hm do you have some sort of experience with poor policing? I get the feeling you have because you have mentioned a few times about how the police aren't always so nice and you even mentioned the ways thry go about things aren't human. In what way do you mean?
haha.. Well I suppose she did drink a can that was stolen. Regarding the riots, those people did really need arresting because they stole and damaged quite alot. They need to be held accountable for that. It was very opportunist really, a reason to damage and nick things, which is wrong.
Yes they probably do, that happens in alot of jobs and even with students studying for degrees. Look at airline pilots, ego's that are 10 times bigger than their planes.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
You'd know more than me.
I feel that even flying through (or falling, rather) without a body wrapped around you... just sky diving would be pretty awesome.
Injection sounds easy enough. Keep it simple, maybe? The most cost-effective? Cheapest option?
Or we could control them... but that would be even more unethical. If we could somehow set them to do work in some fashion, then it would be interesting.
Some do, sure... but there should be a reason why, no? Even if it is for the sake of it, there is usually something prompting the person and goading them further.
I have had a few run ins... but also through the media. I guess you can't really trust the latter that much because it's what they do with the way they blow things up, or focus on the negatives, but... I don't know. I can't say the police have ever inspired confidence in me, or any positive emotion.
That's true. It was a bit... mad.
Most seized the opportunity, yes.
Hmm... true stuff.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
haha Gosh, i'd be too scared to parachute/skydive! Maybe you can do that for your 21st or 18th if you havent made it to that?
Oh I see. Thats interesting. I wouldnt personally know which was cheaper, I was just curious which one you would choose
Do you mean things like community service?
Yeah I suppose there is a reason why they do it sometimes. Although some people seem to be abit weird and murder for no particular reason.
haha. What did you do to get a few run in's with the police?
Yeah, thats why they were punished really, they didnt help matters by seizing the opportunity to steal things and therefore paid the price.
haha Yep
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Wouldn't that be somewhat easier than piloting, though?
You can just let go and open up the parachute after a certain amount of time, though that would be terrifying as well, I suppose... death by splatter isn't very nice. >.<
Possibly.
I've gone past the 18th, but 21.. we'll have to see about that.
I've looked into it, but it costs a lot. >.>
Community service, but... better.
That's right, but then if they are born with it, then that's almost another thing entirely?
Ah... possibly. It is their job to report accurately, though, right?
There was another news article/titbit about the police yesterday. I feel like it almost always gets mentioned at least once a week.
I don't know. I feel as if it's a vicious cycle. If they had prepared for this or prevented it somehow... but then you'd need foresight or hindsight or whatever. =/
Tricky business, I think.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
haha. I dont know.. maybe, but skydiving is scary haha
Its physically demanding I think because you also have to control the parachute aswell.
haha Oh I see, well, 21st sounds like a good starting point for skydiving
Are you at uni then, given your age? I never went to uni.
Ah so the cheapest is the injection?
How would your community service be different?
Yeah thats quite true. If they are born with it then that is a problem.
You would think so, but they actually rarely report things accurately.
What was yesterdays bit? I didn't see it.
True. Though it can't be easy with all the cuts of late. Numbes are down.
Sure is
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
You've tried?
That's a fair point.
Not to mention if you freeze inside your mind, then you're done for.
Possibly.
No... not even at Uni yet. I may as well tell you my age, though you've probably guessed it now.
Do you want to go to Uni? Fees are too much now.
Possibly. Or maybe not? Depends on how you see things, really.
Hmm...
I don't know. There's always something in the news about it all, though... I suppose we're all corrupt somehow?
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
haha 
haha Yeah, dont wanna freeze inside your mind
haha
Ah I had you down as being between 18 and 20. Do you want to go to uni? Nope, im 27 and so I don't have any desire to go to uni. I'm not a huge fan of them and as you say, the fees are way too high now.
Depends on how you see what?
Theres always a bad egg somewhere or other that then makes the rest look bad. Its like that everywhere
Aww thanks for the hug 
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Ah...
You should try it! Just in case you love it... I mean, have you ever felt that way about something or other? You think you won't like something, but then you don't think it's too bad...
I'd be on the news then, I think.
I'll get a mob on my heels, more like.
Before or after you knew a bit about me?
Most people think I'm in my young twenties before they get to know a bit more.
I've applied for University. We'll see how it goes.
You could still go, as a 'mature student'.
True, true. A bit too late now, I guess.
Just overall, in terms of perspective. Things can change with a different one and so on.
True, true.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Ahh yes but I dunno really. I dont think i'd like it too much really as i'm not a fan of the thought of falling through the air.. haha.
Yep, you'd be very very popular, i'm sure haha
Oh after reading a few of your comments I think you mentioned being under 21 so I had you down as being somewhere between 18 and 20..!
Yep, I did have you down as older first
Oooh nice. What course have you applied for?
Argh no, I don't think so.
Thats quite true, sometimes things can change.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Oh... that's fair enough.
Still, thinking and experiencing are two different things. You may build up a taste for it.
Do you like roller coasters, though?
Would fame be all it's meant to be? If you get what I mean?
Ah.. yes, I am glad I wasn't pegged for much younger than that.
English Literature. I want to go into publishing, but.. eh. We'll see.
That'd be interesting!
I suppose there are benefits of that... I don't think UK advocates it, as such.
True. For better or worse.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
haha Maybe. Although im not a fan of rollercoasters
haha Not in your case - being pro-death penalty would put you in an unhappy place with the human rights activists. haha.
Yeah, I understand
Good luck with that
The UK doesn't advocate what?
Very true.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Ah... I see. I guess that is just the way you are then.
There's nothing wrong with that.
Lol, true stuff.
I do agree with human rights to an extent.. but then I also disagree on many controversial things.
Thank you.
I want to get into a specific University... I almost feel that the world will end if I don't. =/
Also, it's not exactly a good degree to have if you are trying to find a job, right?
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Yep, it would seem so! 
Yeah I totally understand there actually.
What contraversial things do you disagree on?
Oh I see. Which uni?
I dont know. What will it allow you to do?
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
I don't mind them.
I haven't been on a rollercoaster in a long while, so I may feel differently now, but I didn't mind them when I went.
True, true. It's a fickle thing at best, perhaps?
Hmm...
Well, one thing that pops into mind is medicine and how that interferes with evolution and life. Also, perhaps the treatment of criminals... I know I mentioned briefly something about that.
I would like to get into UCL.
True... but it wouldn't be the same, I guess.
Eh, I've chosen three good Universities, one not too bad, and another as insurance, so... we'll see. If I get any good Universities, that'll be fair enough, I suppose.
That's the thing, isn't it? >.<
English isn't specific, so .. it won't allow you to do anything, as such. It's more you have to apply it to whatever instead of the other way around, if that makes sense?
Like if you chose an engineering course/degree, you'd be an engineer, right? Or if you chose medicine, you'd be a doctor? With English, it's not... as 'simple'. =/
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
haha
Yeah could well be.
Oh I see. What medicine do you feel interferes as such? I think some medicine is really imperative though otherwise people can suffer.
Oh yes, I understand regarding to how you feel about the treatment of criminals.
Good luck with getting into UCL!
Oh yes, I understand now. I guess you could always become an author with that.. and go into publishing as you said you wanted to do.
True, it can open up some other opportunities I suppose
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Possibly.
I think that if you have 'chosen' certain paths that have lead to your illness, you shouldn't get any help to recover, in a way. Even if you have a cold or whatever, I feel you should get well on your own... and maybe some other life-threatening illnesses. If only because then we'd be able to set evolution back on the path again rather than cheating death with various medicines and ways.
It's quite a long topic to talk about, so I'd rather not say any more.
Hopefully.
Possibly. I wouldn't mind being a literary agent if not working in publishing.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Wow. Do you really think so? I guess that I can understand what you mean but I guess that then it gets into the whole human rights arguement haha. I'm not sure what I think though because I spent 3 weeks in hospital in july into august and ended up in there because I couldnt get better any other way. I think that some illnesses really do need treatment.
Is a literary agent someone that proof reads things for spelling mistakes?
