adios

don't get me wrong, I'm all for progressive taxation and social programs, for exactly the reason of benefiting society as a unit, but modern liberals are a hilarious contradiction, the word has lost all meaning

as they do to tell us what we can eat, drink, play and smoke. can't get my head around that philosophy tbh and do we bollocks choose our government. opt for 2 sides of the same coin and you'll take what you're given and be happy with!

camera man's done a canny job in her profile pic tbf

Remember the Derby chairman when we signed Paul Kitson. "You've signed a gem." He must have got his wife's jewelery from Ratners! Re Simpleon the Best: 3 swallows does not a summer make. makings of a good porno though

There's some relationship between income and class obviously, but this is largely true. I was born into a middle class family but we were much poorer than other families around us who had a more working class background. Class snobbery is stupid anyway. You have no more choice into which class you're born than you do what colour or religion you're born into. Fwiw there seems to be a lot of inverse snobbery on this board. There used to be a canny poster on here called Northern Soul who was a bit of a Billy Bragg type. Canny poster but he had an almost psychological hatred of the middle classes, I could never get my head round it. On the other hand, got to admit I don't respect the true upper classes, the Landed Gentry. We should put up inheritance tax to 90% to eliminate these parasites. Everyone should get, or at least have the potential to get, what they work for. I believe in meritocracy. I agree that class snobbery is stupid. Also that its not just about wealth. But, I don't agree with a hike in inheritance tax. I'm working my bollocks off right now and doing ok. But, why do you think I'm so keen to work hard? Fair enough, you've got a point, but the main reason we still have a class divide in this country (and therefore a divided country) is because of the privilege that inherited wealth brings. I think a parents role is to bring up their kids properly and provide with everything they need for them to lead a productive life, not for them to die and leave their kids shit loads of money with no appreciation of what it means to work for it. I'm proud that as an adult I've never taken anything from my parents and I don't want to when they're dead either. I'd rather they spent their money on themselves while they're here. Maybe a compromise is in order. that's a commendable attitude, but what right do we have to decide what they decide to do with their cash?

Hope they have regular tea breaks can't imagine them watching that closely anyway

"but I don't work" OWNED!

oh dear

here's one for you, that kid out of gentle ben was ron howard's brother

I'm never going to newcastle

class

*big man in sky make rainy face

quick as a flash

yep, that would be the key for me. I don't know if you can really compare the increased standard of living of previous generations, people who will never work a day in their lives live better than my grandparents did back then. There's a school pic of my granddad somewhere and most of them don't even have any shoes on ffs

JOC was one of the stars of sliders too

No way! Is that true? 1/3 confirmed

tbf mark, who I haven't seen post here in years, wandered in here and predicted it like he was just stating a fact and fucked off again messiah tbh

didn't hit a nerve with my mention of middle class nonces in that other thread did I? I don't think you ever really get away from your roots, so working class. then again I think a lot of what I define middle class as, is trying desperately to look like you're better than others (materially I guess?), which plenty of working class types aspire to, so fuck knows what I think

PM me your number, I won't give it to Leazes

funny you should say that, I was going to say if you can hum it, there's probably an app that can tell you what it is

fuck me, I'm glad I don't get to hear a lot of pop music any more thought listening might help, but no bells rang

None of his threads go anywhere. I wish he could just move on. I wonder if forums are a bit like the big brother house like that, you think you want rid of anyone vaguely annoying until all you're left with is a few middle class nonces sat around drinking tea

please note the one time I chose to get involved I trolled a leazes thread that was going nowhere good anyway

leazes got what he got because he treats people like shite on here and thinks it's acceptable behavior. he had it coming imo.
