Is what Syberberg said. The forces don't train people to be nutcases. And the chances are they would appreciate some guidance, rules and understanding of loyalty. Alot of people who come out of the forces feel very lost in the outside world.Dark wrote:I think Hugh Dennis summed it up quite nicely on Mock The Week.

Seriously, you've got unstable and violent kids.. the last thing you want to do is train them to kill.

Nor should they be allowed to campaign for changes in out-dated legislation which affects their business growth, and they should just up and take it, because they don't get an opinion.
except the ones controlled by the government, because its always better to have a government-run monopoly controlled by elected officials, than, say people with Business Administration degrees.kill the monopolies
Absolutely, there's nothing to be learned from there; in fact it sucks so badly, the US has a huge problem with net emigration. California is expected to be emptied within the next decade, its such a bad place to live.and for heaven's sake stop looking at American for anything for once!

was that dry enough? new thread anyone? j/k j/k...
- Yep, a balance of men and women - lest we forget we share the planet.
- Private companies/Corporations love to feed you the line that they're doing us a favour - but the bottom line is profit. People have to make a living for sure, but don't dress it up as doing everyone a favour or that it's for the greater good. This is what makes people disillusioned, angry and selfish in the end.
- I don't mind monopolisation (new word!) as long as those who do don't exploit it. But most of them do.......
- For my part, I said American junk culture. The UK is becoming saturated with it for a quick fix. When will we learn that a quick fix solves nothing?
A new thread!? This one's become a rope!

A. If you leave a pot of yoghurt for 200-some years you'd expect it to develop a culture.

Suits me - while you're at it, take McD's, Burger King, Wendy's, Friends, and the Special Relationship. We'll take Monty Python and Wallace & Gromit back, but you can keep your infatuation with that dozy blonde tart who died in a car crash in Paris in '97.

Only if you promise to take back Pop Idol and give us back the several trillion dollars you owe us for saving your ass in WWII.

You can keep the internet, but we'll keep the World Wide Web - thanks, Mr. Berners Lee.

We're parlaying what we owe you from the Big 2 against what you owe us from 1776.

So while it may have been implemented in Geneva, it was invented by an Englishman - so it's ours. Incidentally so's the jet engine. Have fun!Wikkwwpeedeea wrote:Sir Timothy John Berners-Lee OM KBE FRS FREng FRSA (born June 8, 1955) is an English developer who invented the World Wide Web in March 1989.

I though he was referring to the fact that Mr. Berners Lee is British. If we're taking credit for other countries inventions, I'll take writing, thank ya!

As it turns out he was! Good for us. Now if we could get top speeds for everyone..... But as usual we're behind ourselves. And I don't mean self love here.....

We'll settle for ours: television, steam power (you can have the internet, but unless you're off the grid good luck powering your computer without that one), the postal service, the spinning jenny (naked Americans - uuuuugh...), the internal combustion engine, loo roll, smallpox vaccines, and Viagra.nodubmanshouts wrote:I though he was referring to the fact that Mr. Berners Lee is British.

Ok, enough is enough.
We invited rock'n'roll.
And punk.
I'll be expecting all your CD collections delivered to the US Embassy by the end of tomorrow.
We shall, of course, allow you to keep Brit Pop
