Bugsy Malone was the original gangster. Everyone else is a poser.

But some just feel like they cant win against the gov so why try, some are just ignorant of every thing , and some are crazy like me and wanna have an al out revolution kicking down doors and shit. But pretty much its just hard to decide these things most people are just trying to get by with some food and clothes.

You're going to fight the government by kicking doors down?
Your methods are brilliant.

I'm thinking that Bleed's post was not so much about actually kicking down doors but about being fed up with the injustice inherent in society and wanting to do something to change it inspite of the helplessness and ineffectiveness that she feels.
It's a noble way to feel, Bleed.
Be fed up.
Be angry at injustice.
But don't let yourself be immobilised by that 'what can I do, I'm nothing compared with the greatness of the problems' thinking.
There are a lot of things that you can do to help fight injustice. Some of these sites might give you a few ideas.

The people I am taking about are chavs, neds, kevs, hoodies; British terms for a gang of people that go around in an anti-social behaviour and utter nonsense at people and threaten. Because I don’t always go out with that many people, chavs will try to pick fights with me, I just ignore them when that happens, I avoid them at all costs!
They take drugs, drink every day, commit crime, graffiti, carry knives acting in an unintelligible way. They seem to have a problem with dressing appropriately and they listen to awful nonsense.
Is that now clear with you?

Actually, I wasn't referring to your post. I was speaking to the people who were complaining about the reference to the kicking in of doors.
I do have to say, though... I also have a problem dressing appropriately and I listen to awful noise.

The awful nonsense i am referring to is dance, pop, rap and r&b noise.
Now, you don't listen to that shit do you?
Or you don't dress in tracksuits and tuck your trousers/jeans into your socks? because that is how chavs dress, constantly. It really is shit and i have to put up with people like that.

I listen to some music like that. I have very ecclectic music tastes, for example my two favourite artists are John Denver and Ani Difranco.
I don't dress in tracksuits, nor do I tuck my pants into my socks. But I do find it annoying when people decide that I am a Satan worshipping baby murderer just because of what I choose to wear. Hmm. Interesting.

My pants are in my boots. So shoot me.
But then again, they're combat boots, not Uggs. :P

Oh, so we're being selective when we say "dress inappropriately" and "listen to nonsense"? Good to know. So, if I listen to country music and wear my bikini over my clothes everywhere I go, I'm ok? I mean, I'm not being a chav... Why the selectivity? There are ways of making an ass of yourself without being a chav.
Additionally, I don't understand why it's ok to hate the chavs but be resentful when people say rude things about the goths.

"Chav is a mainly derogatory slang term in some parts of England for a subcultural stereotype fixated on fashions such as gold jewellery and designer clothing. They are generally considered to have no respect for society, as well as being considered ignorant or unintelligent."
--Wiki
It's a Brit thing. I'm sure we have a slang term equivalent here, but I suck at almost all slang...

Hmmm... difficult.
I see in its elements "gold-digger", "label whore", and "hoodlum".
I see "ghetto-fabulous" ("subcultural stereotype fixated on fashions such as gold jewellery and designer clothing" and "being considered ignorant or unintelligent.")
I can't really think of anything all-encompassing, but I'm sure there's something out there.

Well, and I'm pretty sure we have people like that, if not a label specifically for them. Right?

Most definitely! I even admit to having a few in my family (distant cousins and what not).
I just don't know any US slang term that one would use to define such creatures.

Well, it depends on what you mean by creatures?
There are those people who take it to extreme lengths. Take the Cat man or the lizard man for example. I don't think their is a slang word for a human that is a creature because humanimal has already been taken.

Apparently there is slang term for metallers, goths, punks and bikers known as Greebos in Britain. Which chavs say it is a greesy or unwashed biker. How would they know, they don't seem like they're intelligent enough to use a dictionary.
I am called a greebo constantly, when i go out. So i have as much right to fall on a chav and give him/her a damn good kick in.

Really? You don't like when people insult you based on broad generalizations, so that gives you the justification to do the same to them?

Your second intro sucks harder. I just wish I was on the receiving end of it.

Hmmm I think over here I'd call a chav a wankster.
