    Yeah, because in your mind I'm still playing cricket with this guy, calling him "Germ".

    Fuck me, this was 25 years ago.

    Oh I don't doubt you weren't being completely serious, but there's a difference between going along with the joke and playfully objecting. One probably has a higher correlation with people being 100% comfortable with the subject than the other.

    yeah, subtleties again.

    I'm saying it was bad and shouldn't happen, you're saying it was ok because you haven't bullied any German kids lately.

    I'm not saying it was ok, but it's perfectly normal behaviour for 14-y/o kids.

    I hadn't pegged you as one, but I suspect there's a non-zero chance. It seems like in the US the lower income families are the most patriotic, especially whites.

    There's a difference between a kid coming home from school and saying "We made fun of some foreign kid today" where one parent says "that's ok, we were dicks at school too," and the other parent saying "shape up."

    Other than when it comes to sport, I'm not patriotic at all. And so why do you think I'd get offended by people slagging off the UK? I'd only respond in what you might call a "defensive" tone if I felt it was unjustified.

    I mean you're trying so hard to take moral high ground over me bullying a German kid 25+ years ago, I have to wonder what your motivation is here. You're doing what the twats on Twitter do, again.

    What I'm saying is (agreeing with you btw) kids can't be held to the same moral standards as adults. But, when adults keep the standards they had as kids, might be time for a re-think.

    You defended or protested mentions of UK infrastructure, weather, food, imperial past and comedy shows making fun of it in the span of 2 hours. 5/5. Seems like a pattern. Appreciating something doesn't always manifest in public proclamations.

    Not sure id cocco genuinely doesn't know the difference between "defended" and "mocked". I said Little Britain was shit. And I didn't actually defend UK infrastructure, I dodged that because I know it's shit.

    Your time must be moving much slower than mine, as it took me all of 30sec to come up with that retort.

    But if anyone is wasting seconds, it's you by coming up with specious responses. So let me further clarify my meaning:

    If you (14) act like a bigot, that's different from you (40+) thinking that you or anyone else at 14 being a dick is ok.

    Yeah coco, the important thing here is he only defended 4/5 of those things, so 5/5 is clearly an outrageous claim on your part.

    You've been on at me over this German lad for half an hour. I never once said that behaviour was ok, this is something you've imagined and you ran with it, still going strong. I mentioned it as a comparison to how Asian kids were treated at school, pointing out that actually we didn't care about skin colour, even as 14 year old twats.

    3/5

    I never mentioned infrastructure, not in this convo. I last used that word when talking about schools and hospitals in the context of immigration.

    It's on a par with Twatters because you're taking moral high ground on extremely tenable terms, in this case an act of xenophobia from 14 y/o kids 25 years ago. I'm not sure why you felt that argument was worth the effort. You can't seriously think I would still behave in that way as a 41 y/o man, so why bother pressing it? It felt like you were making moral judgements, hence it was akin to debating on Twitter with morons who just want to tell people they are terrible.

    And no, I don't think it's worth opposing. Like you say, there are actual acts of bigotry that are worth opposing, historical juvenile behaviour is not really one of them. Don't get me wrong, if my kid was calling a German kid "Germ", I'd have a word, tell him it's not cool, but I wouldn't lose any sleep over it.

    To be clear, I am most certainly not ashamed of my behaviour at that age. Kids behave like twats. I wasn't so bad, I never bullied anyone to the point of hitting them. This German kid was actually a friend, sort of. He hung around with us, played sports, nobody really liked him because he was so angry all the time, but we tolerated him and let him hang out. He wasn't isolated, he just had shit friends.

    My favourite blogger Craig Murray is currently being tried for contempt of court, related to the Alex Salmond case (Scottish politician accused of sexual misconduct, politically motivated). He is a supporter of Salmond and was reporting factually, as the media were not doing so. He attended court every day, and made regular blog posts. The charge is based on the claim that Murray helped to identify one of the women making the claims.
    In court, the Lord Advocate of Scotland (whoever the fuck that is) said this...

    "That the Twitter account under profile name @CraigMurrayOrg is operated by the Respondent. When the user of such an account publishes a post on Twitter, there is an option for readers to post publicly available comments in relation to each post and to reply to other readers’ comments. Replies to original posts will appear on the timeline of the author of the original post and on the timeline of the author of the reply. The user of the account who published the original cannot delete comments by others but, since November 2019, has the option to hide replies to their original post."

    Basically, they can't find anything illegal that Murray posted on his blog, or on Twitter, but one of his Twitter followers might have said something more clearly illegal. So they're going after him on this basis, completely oblivious to the precedent it would set if successful.

    They are trying to argue that a Twitter user is legally responsible for comments from others, on the basis that you can hide the comment.

    Imagine if this succeeds in convicting him. It will radically change Twitter forever.

    On a related note, he recently accused Stugeon on Twitter of actively encouraging women to make false allegations against Salmond. I'm gonna bet that he won't get sued for that, seeing as if it's true, to sue him for it would amount to perjury.

    I don't see any issues with hoarding non-perishable items if you have the storage space to do so. I mean, if I find out you have a 20 year supply of toothpaste, I'll probably question your grasp on reality, but I wouldn't make any moral judgements about it.

    Besides, there was never a shortage of toilet paper. There was only a buying surge that outpaced the existing logistical chains' ability to move product from A to B. I had to wipe with some low-grade TP for a couple weeks a while back, there, but truth be told, the quality was never actually lower than what I have to use at work in the semi-public restrooms of a college campus, so... not that big a deal.

    I think in times of plenty it's a smart thing to do, even long life perishables. It's a little difficult at this time because there's an argument that it can start panic buying. I mean, if someone sees you walking out of Tesco with a huge 24 pack, they think "what does he know that I don't" and they buy a 24 pack. And before you know it, all the 24 packs are gone and the panic is on.

    But at the same time, if it does go tits up again, we won't need to buy any. Like I say, I'm not arguing. I pay my rent, they're my fucking bog rolls too.

    That sounds like a shortage to me. It's kinda like saying 'there's no shortage of food in Country X in Africa, there's just a logistical bottleneck in getting it from us to them'. May be true, but doesn't change the fact there's a shortage where it's needed.

    Totally different when the logistic chains are not pre-existing and the cost to grow and deliver the food is probably well above anything the potential customers could afford. Not the same at all.

    If there's money to be made in sending food to paying customers, then I feel confident that some entrepreneurial capitalist will feed those people.

    We went shopping today and he didn't buy any. Shelves well stocked. So clearly we didn't start a rush.

    To be fair, you can tell a lot about someone from their taste in music.

    "The Velvet Underground are the GOAT" - "I was a smackhead"
    "The Beatles did some great stuff in the late 60's" - "I was doing a lot of acid in the late 60's"
    "I think Coldplay are great" - "I drink shit beer"
    "Love me a bit of Hendrix" - "My coat stinks of weed"
    "I like punk" - "I hated my parents"
    "Black Sabbath for me" - "I hated myself"
    "Clapton" - "I'm boring and play guitar"
    "Pink Floyd" - "I'm boring and don't play guitar"
    "Pink Floyd's first album only" - "LSD is great"

    I mean, I listen to lots of reggae and ska. I've just added a Hendrix record to my collection. I'm clearly a weed smoker.

    Push comes to shove, if I had to pick a GOAT band, it's between the Beatles, the Who and the Stooges. Today I feel like it's the Who.

    Aw I was hoping since it was Uncle Roger's channel that it'd be footage that wasn't on Ozzy Man's channel. Alas, not to be.

    I find him a bit annoying to be honest. Funny, but annoying. The deliberate speech impediment is a bit much.

    That one video made me laugh, but other videos he does with this character are just a bit too over the top for me.

    He's pretty solid at working the crowd in his stand-up comedy videos, though.

    WTF is a "digestive biscuit" and why does it have a gross name, but is apparently a snack / treat.

    It's a cookie made with oats I think and other whole grains, but with sugar. So healthier than your average cookie, but not as healthy as a stick of celery. Some have chocolate too. Pretty tasty, I like them despite the name.

    Strangely enough, they sell these in Canada and the UK, but not in the US afaik.

    Digestives are good. They make excellent dunking biscuits. The name is because they supposedly aid digestion, or at least they did when they were fist made in the 1800s. Yeah, digestives are nearly as old as USA.

    I just think we should suspend judgment on Boris until we have all the facts through an inquiry, police investigation, and parliamentary commission...then we should explode him.

    Google says it's like a cross between a flapjack and a digestive biscuit, so like... a softer oat cookie?

    I mean... digestive biscuits are a hard oat cookie?

    Oh you're right. I mistook the little husky bits in them for oats. Shows how well i know my grains.

    I don't recall having the conversation in the past, but what the hell is time in 2020?

    I'm not trolling at any rate. I'm genuinely curious.

    It's not even NSFW, ong. Do it. Hilarious.

    EDIT
    That logo.
    And "Some of our skilled craftsman have been handling wood for over 25 years."

    It's great. I'm not downloading anything, which is what happens when I click on the sales link, so not sure if it's legit or just for the lols.

    It's the time of year when twats on Twitter complain about the word "faggot" in an old Christmas song. That's my cue to start my Christmas shopping.

    Finding my game
    Let me explain lobbying. We decide, as a society, that we're a democracy and that everyone has equal power, through voting. Everyone's vote is as powerful, be you a taxi driver, unemployed or a corporate executive. We get to choose who decide on things. Then after we've voted those guys in, those of us who are affiliated with certain causes or groups of people can use money to influence what they decide.

    That's part of it.

    There's also the part where our elected officials can't be expected to be experts on everything that is important to their job. They need to be informed about the issues by the groups affected by their decisions.

    If you're not lobbying your politicians to encourage them to make decisions that favor you, then you're not exercising one of your rights. They can't know what you need if you don't tell them.
