Rayvin 4970 Posted April 11, 2017 Share Posted April 11, 2017 Aye, you'd think so. So at the moment they're thinking "Fuck, I'm being left behind and have no hope for the future". Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rayvin 4970 Posted April 11, 2017 Share Posted April 11, 2017 You know the point I'm making. No one lives life thinking "well it was even shitter than this 100 years ago, so on that basis I should just pipe the fuck down". Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Meenzer 14136 Posted April 11, 2017 Share Posted April 11, 2017 Let's bomb them, then they'll long for the days when all they had to worry about was rich people. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rayvin 4970 Posted April 11, 2017 Share Posted April 11, 2017 That would probably work, I grant you. For a generation at least. Maybe every couple of generations you need to bomb them so that living memory carries the threat of not submitting to the status quo. Alternatively, we can try and make positive change - controversial way to go of course. No money in it for those at the top. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Meenzer 14136 Posted April 11, 2017 Share Posted April 11, 2017 It hasn't worked in all of human history, but who knows, maybe this time. (I'm quite enjoying this Social Injustice Warrior lark.) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hasn't it? Are...are we still living under feudalism?!? And yes, I can tell I'm not sure this is a recognised SJW issue though. Actual improvements to people's lives through addressing economic inequality isn't something they'd be interested in, as they're part of the bourgeois middle classes They're all about divide and rule.

The Fish 9234 Posted April 11, 2017 Share Posted April 11, 2017 I was messing around too tbf. I didn't actually mean you were a Tory He really is one though. Finds Mrs Brown's Boys hilarious but hates the tv license, doesn't see why he should have to pay for post-natal care when it could funding away from vital research into hair loss and erectile dysfunction. Hides it all behind this pleasant facade, but honestly, when he thinks nobody's paying that much attention he mutters Daily Mail headlines under his breath Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The humourless middle England wankers. It's beyond the pale btw. It refers to the bit of Ireland near Dublin, i.e. the English Pale, that was under direct English control. Amazingly I remember that from A-Level history. It's got nowt to do with buckets Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dr Gloom 20150 Posted April 12, 2017 Share Posted April 12, 2017 factoid of the day 2: the expression "sleep tight" comes from the old georgian beds that used stretched rope for the bed base, which had to be pulled tight to ensure a good night's sleep. ( i recently visited a preserved georgian house/museum in bath) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alex 30778 Posted April 12, 2017 Share Posted April 12, 2017 Sounds like an urban myth that one. Like 'Dead Ringers' being about bells in coffins. Had a look and the OED seems to back that up, saying it's an archaic use of the adverb tightly meaning 'soundly, properly, well, effectively'.
