Re: Injecting sanitizer, and other tales..

If its being said, publicly and to mass media, by the head of state of one of the most powerful nations on earth - its serious. If he doesnt understand that - its even more serious.

Re: Bollocks Bingo

two out of three..

Terrorism - whatever the government du jour defines.

Violent crime - again, the right to use violence is restricted to the state, so non-state endorsed violence is criminal.

Save lives - meh, maybe not.

point of order

Use as chip wrapper BEFORE using as toilet paper, not after.

Also, usage as fire lighter prior to toilet paper usage may possibly result in (extremely) personal injury.

Re: I don't use common definitions either

Mime artists are confined to working at home at present.

Home being a pit full of scorpions, with LEARN THE WORDS in bas relief lettering around the rim 5 metres above the floor.

Re: not believe unions are in the best interest of our customers or shareholders

one of the issues is when bad unions, political parties, and companies "merge" in order to compete against the giants - generally the law and human rights..

Unions had a positive effect back in the "good old days", but then again, politicians, companies, and the media also all seemed far less toxic and predatory than appears to be the current normal.

It is possible this could be the result of the loss of a "moral compass" thanks to organised religion thoroughly discrediting itself. Without an omniscient and incorruptible judge, Do what thou wilt -to maximise personal return- shall be the Whole of the Law

Uh-huh,

I see those emails all the time..click here to unsubscibe

..no, actually I only see them when I look inside my spam folder..

The state of the web is that if anyone, claiming to be from anywhere, suggests you follow a link, treat it as an attempted mugging. If you personally know the sender, and expect the email - treat it like a possible hijacking instead, and verify.

When people start agreeing with me - its time to go back and check what I have said as it must be wrong..

Re: The most important statement in the whole article.

I did not need that image.

The important thing to remember, is that the president is an arsehole and he tells lies.

Its tragic, but thats where the USA is today.

Re: reasons not to close schools...

Perhaps I am overly cynical, but how many millenials - and government economists - are going to be seeing this as an opportunity to free up some real estate, and reduce the "Aging Population Crisis"?

Just go for a dinner at the Italian-Iranian food court, stop in for communion at your Greek Orthodox church, then go and give the grandparents a big sloppy hug...

Re: WTF?

Capitalism IS economic feudalism.

Capitalism is good for capitalists

Communism is good for Communists (party members)

Monarchy is good for Monarchs

Parliaments are good for for Parliamentarians

Tyrannies are good for tyrants.

Wouldnt know who democracies or socialism are good for, probably fiction writers.. I dont think there are any real ones out there.

Re: Dear Francis

They all DO have their own area - its called social media.

Its like a sump or drainage pond - it collects the low of intellect and keeps them out of the way. Unfortunately professional or commercial media have taken to grubbing around in there and dragging the crap out where everyone can see it. Obviously, its easier to sell stuff to stupid people, so commercial networks are all for promoting the 'social media experience"

Re: I don't have a problem with this

Not having a good alternative is not sufficient excuse to keep the thing you have.

At least you will get a new set of national dysfunctions, and be an international laughingstock for different reasons...

Who knows, eventually someone sane, competent and honest might make it through the system, just got to get the turnover high enough.

Re: "being FEMALE is some kind of HANDICAP"

The consensus is that ALL referees are completely ignorant of the game rules, therefore, women who tend to over-function and generally put more effort in (gender stereotype - deal with it), may possibly do a decent job and by doing so, overturn hundreds of years of tradition.

My personal view is that athletes in profit driven professional sports are manipulated into a state of prolonged mental adolescence, and just arent mature enough to deal with 'çhicks' in positions of authority - or even normal life. If we were talking about pet dogs, you would call it inadequate socialisation.

As with every generalisation about people, exceptions do apply.

Re: Well done that man!

What we need is for thousands more people to do this in a coordinated event

Some time later, we find out google has moved into selling second hand Mobiles,

SUCKERS!!!!!

There'll be another month end next month. And one the month after. Etc.

but after Brexit, no one will have jobs...
