2 depressing tales of our age

Aye, that will make things much better hee hee!

 

Tad too far.

 

Once again, Jamdrop speaks sense.

 

I can quite happily admit im not the most tolerant person however i am always opened to a reasoned discussion.
However, it seems popular in this day and age to troll and hound people whos opinion doesnt hold sway shouting loudly they are being whichever "ism" is rattled around the world of social media. Mostly by young impressionable people seem to thrive off the thrill of the hunt the who can shout loudest with the latest buzzwords and sneak off into the darkness when they get challenged. The current trend seems to be extreme gender politics and white privilige.
With that youve the whinging spoilt cretchins who although they know better refuse to chastise their children for being little shites incase they become stigmatised as a "bad parent" and being the first to then complain when someone does their job for them.

I can remember when i was hitting my teens and ignoring the bus driver on way home who told me to get my feet down.

**** the old **** as i went for a kick about once i got off.

Once i got home. Only thing getting kicked was me from pillar to post. 1 not doing what the driver said. 2 my attitude towards him and 3 showing my mother up with my behaviour.

 

If I ever resort to any form of physical violence to discipline my child I will pretty much feel like I've failed at life. It seems staggering that smacking was an acceptable form of parenting only 20 years ago. But then the prevailing mood of 2016 seems to be let's see how far we can regress as a society .

 

Too many sympathisers.

 

I'm not sure if that's aimed at me. I don't condone kids misbehaving or being disrespectful. I do think it often comes from poor parenting. I certainly know that giving a child a crack teaches them nothing about having or showing respect.

 

No. You'll not get respect by cracking them.

You will get their attention. And it might even stop them doing it again.

No respect though.

 

Idiotic thick comment - as per usual.

 

Good manners and respect costs nothing.

 

Absolutely

 

You don't forget how much it fecking hurts to get a belt to the back of the legs though. Stops you from making the same mistake twice.

 

Laughing. Must be Supertyke's second account.

 

I'm more concerned at who is filming binman walking down the drive!

 

The bin stalker.

 

Stay classy #stalker #womenbully

 

Look at you with your little hashtags. How cute.

 

From what I could gather about the Carrie Fisher argument, it wasn't that he called her Beautiful, or a "creature", but the bit he tagged on the end about finding out she was intelligent too...

There was a quote that went something like "If a man had died, would someone have said he was handsome, and when I met him he turned out to be charming and intelligent too"

Please note, these aren't my views. I personally saw nothing wrong with what Steve Martin said, in fact I thought it was a touching tribute given the limiting nature of the Twitter platform...

 

Search 'george michael handsome' on twitter and you'll find loads of tweets about his looks, talent, music etc.. and not always in the 'acceptable' order.
