Politics for dummies

The word politics comes from the Greek word Politikos, basically something about Citizens and public life.
Much has changed since men wore bath sheets and spoke about meaningful issues, now a Politician is basically a self-serving thief being paid by large corporations to help them achieve profit through bribery and corruption.

Political parties should consist of those supporting the current elected Government and those who are opposed to the current Government, However if you are opposed to anything you are labelled as a Libtard which means you are a retarded liberal thinker.

Political Supporters: These vary from the “don’t care” to the blatant, the blatant seem to think that they are the only people who saw something on TV or on the internet, they will for example publish dozens of articles or “blogs” on the same subject, Blatant’s are known to ingest the sweetcorn directly from a Politicians excretal orifice while the Libtards simply hold up signs or break into tears for no reason or for good reason.

It’s generally thought that Politicians listen to the “Power of the people” this is false, the people mean nothing to a politician unless you are very wealthy and help pay for the political lifestyle politicians enjoy, this includes big houses, private jets, shagging other people’s wife’s/husbands and in some cases lots of Golf, You the people are just trailer trash.

Political opinion ebbs and flows depending on policy, Yes your opinion counts but you are not entitled to demean or insult people who don’t agree with your thoughts, Its very narrow minded and makes you look like an idiot.

Blatant = Fanatic
sigh
laugh laugh


Anyway, jokes aside...my country’s political scene saddens me a lot. The trail of immeasurable destruction left behind by our former Prime Minister is just mind-boggling. doh

As for me, it’s better I take care of my own backyard rather than sticking my nose onto other people’s backyard giggle
Back in those ancient Greek days politicians were nominated by their fellow citizens, sometimes to their horror, and if they refused to serve their term they were fined heavily laugh
Morning Biffy, That's correct, and although not very democratic in the beginning citizens were grouped by location rather than wealth, Modern politicians do seem to all be wealthy or become wealthy very soon after taking office.
Biff, Regarding your second comment, I am totally sick to death (or near death) hearing about that case, My own opinion is that it's all a complete farce, who knows what really happened, and I dont care.
Biffy, That last comment was so politicalgrin This isnt a direct dig at US politics, more indirect but I do mean worldwide political madness, I shant delete your valid and worthy comment, as a free citizen you are free to come and go as you please.
I am such a dummy that even politics for dummies bore me moping
Molly, what we need is a guide like 'good relationships for dummies'

Well what I need. Can only speak for myself laugh
And what I need is ‘Gourmet cooking for Dummies’ help
Biff, I'm sure one of our learned colleagues here will be able to write said guide teddybear
Mimi I have that book. My stepmother gave it to me

It's actually called 'Failsafe recipes for totally useless cooks'

(yeah hated her but had to be grateful) laugh
I will write any guide requested...after my mid morning coffee
Molly, hmmmm

We could write a what NOT to do book with all the bloggers contributing their priceless experience?
If we have all the 'What not to dos' in a book, does that leave all the rest as 'What to dos?' confused
Until they are tried and turn out to be what not to do after all - volume two - sigh
So there will be a full series of what not to do, and a quote-sized leftover on what to do.

It'd be easier to write the quote, unless we are in it for the money.
Which we are not of course scold
Map, I shall go back and actually read it so moping
Left and right is an ethical divide independent of party politics, political parties can change sides. To what extent do you believe in a dog eat dog world where you're suspicious of everybody outside your immediate clan?

It's right-wing line to say that all politicans ar emotivated by greed and self-interest and there's no hope in government. The rich have always defined government as categorically bad whereas the left takes modern rights for granted. The 8 hour working day, health and safety, full employment and some sort of healthcare provision make a massive improvement to the general standard of lving, a lot of the population would die without the government but they wouldn't know what they had until it's gone. Not so much younger people but older people have lived through an era of unprecedented privilege and prosperity which has become lazy in thinking and ungrateful, not knowing it was born or the horror life was before the welfare state.
Biff, how nice of her, your step-mom.....laugh


I had a conversation with a friend just yesterday regarding my lack of skills in the kitchen department laugh
Btw, I’m the one in ‘blue’ wink

My friend is worried that I might starve in the US! laugh
Mimi where do you stand on pancake stacks with syrup and bacon? I could survive on that US breakfast alone, I think.
ChesneyChrist, You do realise the blog is tongue and cheek?, You say that people like me have lived a privileged life, Ive worked and paid my taxes and national insurance, Ive never been unemployed and have been at both ends of the spectrum where wealth is concerned, Its the young who feel entitled to everything for free.
Mimi, Art has survived this long without starving. I'm sure you will both survive without starving together.
You'll miss good food though. Unless you decide to learn to cook grin
Map I think Chesney is saying it is the young who don't know what life was like before the welfare state laugh
Molly + Biff

I could well contribute a bit for the so-called book...

“How to lure them much older men in”

giggle
Mimi, that's easier than shooting fish in a barrel laugh


help

grin
Biff, Not many young people will remember pre 1945, I certainly dont remember much but I think it were all trees back then.
Oh wow
Maybe that chapter is needed then.
How to use those bi-focals in your favour
Mimi used cataracts to snare Art.
Bifocals would be a doss for her.

And in that note, I've got some pruning to do



In the garden scold
Who's going to teach the bi-focal class? I'm ready to make notes of all and any pointers

writing
Go prune then.

In the garden.
Chesney, Sorry I had to delete your comment, This blog would have been deleted as names were mentioned, But Yes I agree with you, That lot are typical of self serving fanatics who dont see anyone else's opinion.
Chesney, would I lift one finger to help someone like you? I already gave at the office.

Would I lift one finger to actually help a real person or real situation in real life? That's, I suspect, the difference between us. I would. You'd just stand there spouting 'someone' should do 'something'.

Not crazy about being grouped with a bunch of extreme right-wingers with dodgy views since I am usually arguing with those same people but then you are very rarely right about anything roll eyes
Ah, okay, so my comment will be deleted too laugh
And wow Map thanks for including me in the group of numpties as 'that lot' wow
delete
delete
delete
another to delete roll eyes
Not to completely slam the right because at the end of the day we're a lifeboat with an obligation to the people we've already saved to not sink the lifeboat. As a society we need that voice which says the lifeboat is full and we're not pulling anybody else from the water in fact we may even throw a couple of people overboard so we can spread our legs. But as an individual you don't want to know this person, you don't want that spirit being the spirit which raises your kids.
Biff

MiMi can make 'em pancakes! Just add water......wink

I don't eat bacon ( never had bacon in my life! ) but don't mind cooking them for my Arty...heart beating but he gotta eat them at his own risk uh oh grin



Molly

MiMi has found some fellow Malaysians in Omaha and its neigbouring places. They meet up occasionally at some Asian restaurant or their home where they'd have a potluck. I'm afraid my cooking is so bad that I'd be required to bring along some paper towels only blushing uh oh

Anyway, Art did ( upon my request ) go and check out the Asian store/supermarket for MiMi before he submitted the application for MiMi's US fiance visa! laugh

"Mimi, that's easier than shooting fish in a barrel"
tongue

"Mimi used cataracts to snare Art."
Can't use that no more! sigh

''Happy Pruning, Molly! applause

Hey Map....this blog has been completely taken over by the usual members of the ‘left of centrist recipes and cooking party’
I would give up if I were you....you haven’t got an egg to stand on!

doh
Anyway yours is a good exmaple of the lazy cyncism and sneering take on the world of politics which encapsulates the gilded generation and that morbid Kurt Cobain waste of life which is generation X. They're both taking it all for granted in their own way. One thing that should make us consider that western politics is not so bad is any other politics in the world, 6 months in China would thin out the ranks of jaded dross.
This blog and the posts are so entertaining that I forgot what I was going to say.

Thumbs up all!

Can we be truly honest in self-description? This is my attempt. And to ensure it has some degree of truth, I’ve asked a female friend to give her opinion also. So here goes :
