Let_Us: Deedee123x: “Will only get an increase of €5 in my pay they tell me after yesterday's budget!!
Not a happy camper...will our politicians get another major increase.
Land of fools we are”
All this might I add while there are 3000 plus people homeless in Ireland and not a thing done about it...some of them being children....disgraceful!!
Since when has the world been "fair", Dee? The powers that be certainly aren't going to raise your "pay", until they're able to raise their's 5 times as much! And certainly the politicians will get a raise! After all, it comes out of your pocket, not theirs! So why shouldn't they?
And, as far as your 3,000 plus homeless, in Ireland, I'm sorry about that. But I can take you to place"S" here, in greater metropolitan Los Angeles, where you can see 3,000 homeless simply by turning around, in one spot, and looking! There's no need to go wandering around the country. looking for them! And, yes, a large proportion of them are children! But what can we, you, or I, do? Our ever more socialist states can't/aren't/don't/won/t cure the problem(s). And "I" certain don't have the resources to create a job for all of them. And many of them seem quite happy with the state of their irresponsibility/existence! Not all, no. But many!

Don't pretend liberal capitalism is socialism just because it doesn't lynch blacks. Try to lose the habit of twisting everything to suit your immediate selfish concerns. Americans character assassinate anybody trying to do even remotely the right thing to justify doing the wrong thing again and again. 1950s Republicans were more socialist than the Clintons and now the Clintons are called socialist so you can elect an even more selfish monster.

We're in a position today where the rich and corporations have more money than they know what to do with and can't find talented people to invest in because the public services are in ruin. The position today is nothing like the 1970s and 1980s where bright and well-educated people raised under social democracy were having their aspirations crushed by the monopoly of trade unions. Most young people today don't even know what a trade union is.

God and guns is completely the wrong answer. Spending all your money on the military and sending your kids off to be raised by priests sounds like you're setting them up for a cull. It's insane. In an aging population young people are scarce and valuable, and old people are the surplus. Resources should go to the young to make them the best they can possibly be, you don't want millions of mindless acolytes born to die when you need every last one of them to support your retirement. Trump's war on millennials is not a war you want to win, you murder your posterity at your own peril.

You may hate the establishment, but even they are smart and longterm-minded enough to have blocked Trump's first major attack on millennials. Trump wanted to finance your tax cuts - and remember you've underpaid taxes your entire life(that's how you create debt) - by effectively making higher education inaccessible to anybody not from the wealthiest of families. The senate blocked this fully-fledged attack on the aspirational.

serene56: Absolutely! Our bedrooms are for sleeping only
Mostly anyway lol
Just think when you go in there, the day's over, no more telly or other stimulation it's bedtime and you're gonna lie down on your gorgeous comfy bed, relax and clear your mind of today's concerns and settle down for a lovely restful sleep

I don't NECESSARILY agree with you, Serene! Personally, if I put the Clair de Lune" on, softly, in the background, I go out like a light! But it's a method of meditation. Giving your mind something to "focus" on, is easier that just focusing on nothing, at all.
Good luck, Dee!

serene56: Interesting how some people appear to have no interest in interacting with others on here
They come on, blurt their responses to various threads then depart, their job done.

Do you just HATE people? Or do you just LIKE to rant? As far as "twisting everything to suit your immediate selfish concerns", that sounds like a VERY APT description of what YOU just did!

PS: Maybe YOU haven't noticed, lately, but the last time "I" as in England, it was MORE "socialist", and taxed it;'s people MORE heavily, than the US EVER has!

Put in YOUR time, and MAYBE you'll EARN a little respect, and a few resources! You're not old enough to know ANYTHING worth listening to! I KNOW, because "I" was just like YOU are, once upon a time! But, in the intervening 39 years, I've actually LEARNED a few things! As well as "matured" from my "self-interest", which YOU obviously HAVEN'T yet! YES! Young people ARE valuable! But NOT so valuable that we should take all the people that got us THIS far, and set them out on the bog, to freeze or be eaten by the ravaging hoards! Wise up, kid. You're NOT going to improve things by trading one master, for another! Certainly, we older folks MIGHT have done better. But I'll tell you what. I watched more kids with MORE "idealism" than YOU'LL EVER have, sell out to the "machine", in the 70's, 80's and 90's, than I EVER suspected would! You may have some "ideals", now, but when it comes time to feed YOUR "posterity", like those kids had to, do you REALLY think you'll do any BETTER, than THEY did! If you DO, then you don't even deserve whatever education you've received! THANKS to us NOW useless old worn out folks! Just PRAY you're smart enough to SURVIVE to such a "ripe old age"! But "I" wouldn't bet MY money on that! Even with all the help and advancements WE have given/provided YOU! Haven't you ever heard the old proverb, "Children should be seen, but NOT heard!"
Your "assertion" that ANYBODY wants to "war" on you, is the biggest rubbish on the dung heap! Sure, there ARE some people that want to reduce the planet's population by 80% But, just because we raised you, DOESN'T mean that we poor AVERAGE parents ARE those people! If you're gonna use a gun, son, learn how to aim it, first! And find the RIGHT target, BEFORE you pull the trigger!

Thinking of all the Women in history who fought and died for Womens rights.
Sadly along the way we have failed to respect each other , in our quest for equality with Men.
