I forgive you you silly sausage... No quotation marks. No spaces anywhere. And it forced me into putting a space in the bracketed youtube because it doesn't show up otherwise.
Now come on, SoonerGal managed this first time with the same instruction. I am totally judging you on this.
The liberal attitudes and far-right individualism of the have's and the have-yachts are completely odious to the have-nots. And you ignore the problems of the underclass at your own peril.
We should just give up the war on drugs - it's something hard to do then it's not worth doing - so let's just let it slide.
But to those pro-drugs, educated middle classers who may only shoot up once a month on a recreational basis I say to you thus: Most of you will soon be out of a job, you won't be able to afford the concrete walls and private security to ringfence your untroubled suburbia, and you'll be torn to pieces by the drug-fueled angry mob that sweeps the land.
Best policy. As I've just realised it's 18 over there... And you don't want to end up in prison because some of those guys don't care how old you are, or if you're gay
Absolutely. Relative to the west, Britain has done badly in terms of being materially resourceful. But the West, relative to the rest, have also done this.
It is a case of which ship is sinking the fastest. However, if anyone can sustain a fraudulent money economy then it is the British. I expect that even after all of the west becomes more productive there will still be a strong financial sector in Britain. This will result from our culture, heritage and international prestige that we have with the other races allowing us to continue as a hub of global trade. The British have near the same kudos of Americans except the world doesn't hate us in the same way it hates them.
Me too, I was raised mostly by the war generation. And yes, it's nothing new to hit intensifying global competition, the first world war lead to a lot of outsourcing which created the global overproduction that ultimately caused The Great Depression.
The difference now, I feel, is the sheer extent to which they can outcompete us. The sheer gulf between their capacity to produce and our capacity to produce. We're in a position today of The Great Depression times 5. The reason we don't feel it is partly because of technology making things more efficient, but mostly because the complexity and scale of the markets has allowed people to offset the consequences of their actions for decades into the future(debt) allowing a perverse generation to live from a free lunch.
Not only do the young of the today face the battle against the elderley - the struggle to shove baby boomers and their attitudes fanatically and ruthlessly into the grave. But also we're being asked to be more productive and creative than perhaps any western generation that came before.
Nonsense, nothing from civilisation is as brutal as the savage beast that lurks beneath the shell of the civilised man.
Take from a man what he needs to surivive, strip from him his sense of purpose and break the bonds he has with the people around him and here you will have a savage force unmatched by anything else.
The fact that entertainment is the only one of the four the West now adequately meets explains why we are in a consumerist/media frenzy barren of social trust tipped for anarchy and revolution.
Employment - the more productive the better. Entertainment. The bare necessities of life - Housing, food and water. Something in common with the neighbours.
I can't think of anything more essential than these four if you want to avoid chaos in the streets.
Some would argue that man needs his rights to be peaceful, but he is wrong, what man fights for are his interests or his desires and not his rights. Look at China, no Democracy, no Enlightenment, no women's lib and yet their history is significantly more peaceful than ours despite of the sheer numbers of them - numbers they could only reach by being more peaceful than we are.
I have no idea what that is... but I'll add one more to my list of essentials - honest, hard work that makes you tired. People being tired is one important way of making people more peaceful. The devil makes work for idle thumbs.
Panem et circenses as the Romans called it. And the Romans were a lot more knowledgeable about Human nature than we are in today's semi-autistic world where people seemingly have no idea why they are what they are.
Anyway, not being bored, not starving and having things in common with the people around you are the three things you need to ensure the most peace in general.
A man needs food, excitement and like-minded people who he gets on with. The less in common he has with his fellow man the more he needs his bread and games - like the parasitical city-dweller who has endless flashy gimics and distractions to channel his attention away from the squalid cosmo-culture that surrounds him.
Non-conformist are just a contradiction of conformists. They are not individual to any greater degree. Almost everybody is, to some extent, a compromiser with the group. And the higher your status in the group the less compromising you have to do. The greater the prowess, the greater the freedom.
The most individual of people are people with autism, closely followed by shut-ins and social cripples which are many times the same thing.
Nationalism is a solidarity based on a cultures inherent distinctiveness. It is an anti-borg instinct. In the modern world Nationalism is a peoples desire to be something more than a consumer, commodity and cog in a global machine.
But you're right, if the global Borg project succeeds then we will be more peaceful. The Borg never fight amongst themselves.
There's no reasonable way to suggest that Israel and Israelis are treating everybody the same. The rational debate is in whether they are justified in doing this?
The mantra of ideology says no: everybody is equal. The fact of reality says yes: everybody is not equal.
But of course Israel has to pretend that everyone is equal to maintain this ridiculous charade. Zionists have to lie all the time because they can't simply state that they don't want flooding with foreigners because it will sink Israel no matter how factually accurate this is.
And in the day to the day I don't have much respect for nicely nice people and the wealthy man's politesse because it regiments life. It makes people unoriginal in the things they say, do and think until you have swathes of the population that can speak in nothing other than tired cliches.
