RE: Why homelessness is a big world problem

More than anything else a bright and happy future ahead rests upon one thing - roll over Beethoven. Not that there was anything wrong with Beethoven or Chuck Berry

RE: Why homelessness is a big world problem

And make a change to anything you instantly create winners and losers and an industrial revolution is a vanishingly small number of winners in a sea of chaos. It takes about fifty years for people to grow up with and know what they're doing with any of these changes and until that time most people are worse off in an industrial revolution. Jostling for place at an ever-shrinking table until the old men are ejected from the establishment.

RE: Sanctions by the west .

Do everything we can to keep them an utterly ignorant, savage people that provides a cheap source of bare necessities. Like the old days before we equipped the Chinese with the ability to rule over us believing in the miracle of global capitalism.

RE: Sanctions by the west .

We should buy as much Russian oil as we can just don't sell them anything clever. There are ways of sending Russia back to the 1980s with half the mess our end

RE: Why homelessness is a big world problem

Personally I'd like to take from Norway the idea of roof over your head first, kick the drugs later. You're not going to get anywhere by being homeless.

And put it with the old workhouse. An access to casual labour that goes beyond selling the big issue and into a Britain that assembles it's own toasters.

And last of all it would have to be a speakeasy. Political correctness and sounding like a posh spaz are the last things those who know what really hard is care about, and they're the last to be offended by being misgendered.

RE: Why homelessness is a big world problem

War if you're thinking third world country everything else I've said if you're thinking first world.

RE: Why homelessness is a big world problem

War most often and in addition to that an attitude that then says pull yourself up by your bootstraps. It's not like the old days where you could walk onto a farm and find work, these days there is a great gap between rock bottom and the bottom rung of functioning society. Pull yourself up by the bootstraps and jump 50 feet into the air. And also the police will harass you and if you do anything wrong the punishment will be worse because you're homeless.

RE: Do you own any stocks?

I'm more into a chest full of silver but I'd like to know my options. Everybody is a capitalist these days you don't make much - with proportion - by going to work.

RE: How do you feel about … the DEATH PENALTY? Should it be outlawed?

And from the other side of the equation revenge isn't always the answer. All the police did for my murdered best friend was devalue the bravery award he won by awarding it to themselves for arresting some children. And the guy who did it was literally insane and it feels like losing someone to a natural disaster than real evil.

RE: How do you feel about … the DEATH PENALTY? Should it be outlawed?

I'm against the death penalty because I don't think the police, the judiciary and the people who like them care about truth and justice. They're a selfish moral blank that preys on losers and does not really care about innocent or guilty. The law is just the power to enforce your will where the weak make way for the strong.

RE: Who Wants To Smoke A Joint?

Legal and illegal have much more to do with popular and unpopular than it does right and wrong. Most times the law is power nothing to do with justice. What's legal or illegal is about power and popularity

RE: Frugality: Our Pocket and the Planet's

The important thing is to grind down your sense of self-worth. Better word for frugality than cheap is depression. A psychological as well as an economic depression to foster a new generation of material resourcefulness.

RE: What is your favourite small kitchen appliance?

I agree. The kettle is the greatest small kitchen appliance, don't even have to think about it

RE: My Toaster

Each to their own. Personally I love brewing up in the dark with a black kettle, I mean anything could happen it's exciting.

RE: My Toaster

Just so you know they do an even cheaper kettle in B&M. And it's black which looks okay from less far away.

RE: So , when did you become old & bitter ?

Well they don't do jobs for life anymore but I don't despair. But what's a pension I'm never going to have a pension in fact I'm sure I'll be retraining again come the year 2077. And 2067, 57, 52 and 48

RE: Jesus

I would argue something different. I would argue that your founding fathers were a European export that transplanted itself on top of America whilst America gradually develops its own soul and personality that is actually diverging from Europe. The constitution does not rule, we are all ruled by the land and the demographics and this life has a will of its own. Americans are becoming more different to Europeans where they used to be a lot more similar. With the passing of generations the land itself comes to define what America is. No longer an imported way of life from the European enlightenment, but a native way of life as America becomes a homeland more than the holding pen for refugees that it used to be.

RE: Jesus

And do you know who praised the founding fathers efforts to be free? Karl Marx. You're on a hiding to nothing trying to use the enlightenment to say that a woman's place is in the home. Your founding fathers were liberals, leftists if you want to say that a woman's place is in the home you must also have the King in his castle. You'd have to default on the age old pecking order where life is decided for you, being told what to do and how to feel about it since time immemorial.

RE: Jesus

Nah I very much reject the idea that liberty and the pursuit of happiness for women is to be a stay at home mum. I actually do think women have dreams more than that. But heres the problem when you're talking about Jesus and your founding fathers who were not the god squad but a group of deists who founded a revolutionary modern state that puts personal choice and the individual as the foundation of society.

RE: Jesus

It's a difficult one because it is the life of the baby on the hand versus the liberty and pursuit of happiness of the mother on the other hand. Unless you're saying that liberty and the pursuit of happiness for a woman is to be a stay at a home mum. A woman's place is in the home which I don't necessarily agree with. Liberty sounds like a choice and the pursuit of happiness sounds like an ambition that could easily be a careerist. The fetus has no liberty nor right to pursue happiness, it's stuck in the womb, and to be pro-life the woman must also give up liberty and the right to pursue happiness. She must stay in the same boat as the baby where you're forced into living a certain way. To be pro-life you accept unfreedom for the sake of the children.

RE: Football versus Soccer

And you know your empire could have lasted twice as long with half the mess through a game of what the outside world calls football. What you've effectively done is picked up the ball and taken it home with you when everybody hated that kid. A behaviour too exceptional for what a superpower is, you can't just buy mates everywhere you have to have things in common.

RE: Football versus Soccer

Soccer is an everyman sport and football is more like dressage where you're gonna win because of the excellent facilities. It's sports for people who are not naturally good at sports but have been well-fed and facilitated.

RE: Football versus Soccer

And soccer is the opposite. A sport made out of prison dodgers and an art perfected in spite of having the poorest facilities. Soccer is the poor person's sport that can be played just about anywhere, it's something you're better at if you grew up the hard way like dancing far from the two left feet of sheltered homes.

RE: Should everyone trade in their internal combustion engines for All Electric Vehicles?

And I say came along, I mean became affordable. We have to give these things time

RE: Should everyone trade in their internal combustion engines for All Electric Vehicles?

Not yet there's isn't enough nuclear and renewables or enough energy storage. It's definitely the future but it is not the immediate future. A lot of it makes more sense for living in space and think of all that was wasted in energy efficient light bulbs before the led came along just obviously better. The timing is everything

RE: So , when did you become old & bitter ?

Usually when I login here for another dose of 55 year old fascist taxi driver.

RE: Why do some women lash out...at strangers online?

Another element is that women tend to speak a language of subtlety but for many men they need a rejection as painful as it is obvious. It could easily be that talking to him in the only way he understands contrasts completely with how she would prefer to say it.

It all follows a similar where man is in some way ignorant and rude and the woman suspicious and easily threatened.

RE: Why do some women lash out...at strangers online?

Stress?

From what I hear women require normal human physical contact more than men do so perhaps they're irked by the leprosy of the online world. They succumb to that constant state of virtual dread without the human touch where men are somewhat content to live inside a disgraceful social condition.

RE: Do women want a player?

And that makes perfect sense when you know that it's woman's nature to "improve" a man a bit like civilisation in general. Man represents the wild and she's here to domesticate it, he's the Amazon and woman the astroturf and if you become too much like astroturf, too domesticated, she will have lost interest.

RE: Do women want a player?

What they're really into is a reformed man which means they must have a problem with you to begin.
