Douggy B 0 Posted March 23, 2009 Share Posted March 23, 2009 (edited) After 12 years of Labour rule. A whole generation of them, mid twenties, unable to remember anything but Labour government in this country. A generation where it is OK to stay at home well into your mid twenties, lets face it "Its too expensive to get on the property ladder isn't it?". "Anyway, that's how they control you. I'm going live my life instead of working". Your life? Sitting at home on your mum's Internet connection / on the Playstation / smoking weed. Lets face it there is no real incentive to go and look for a job. The boys in charge will pay your way. You'll take the money even though you hate the government, what is a couple of quid a week compared to the billions spent on bombs? The Billions spent on bailing out banks? Its all a conspiracy designed to trap you. They enslave you for a nice holiday once a year and a BMW. Who needs a car when your going nowhere? Mum and Dad are happy to pay your way anyway. This capitalist stuff doesn't work anyway, viva the revolution, you conveniently forget where the money came from that put the roof over your head. Good job Dad bought into the system wasn't it. I see the type every day, the media studies degree never really held out many job prospects but it was a good doss for three years and it taught you the air of pseudo intelligence, whilst reading the Guardian, tutting over more misdeeds from those powers that seek to enslave us all. This generation IS the Internet generation, a wonderful invention where, if you like, you can find a site that will argue the earth if indeed flat and we were wrong all along. Where hours can be killed watching videos that "prove" that 911 was in fact instigated by the American government. Take nothing at face value. Some lad down the pub the other day tried to tell me that "It is illegal for the Government to charge you tax" and that "the reason peoples names are in upper case is that it allows them to treat you like a company rather than an individual." Wow what a revelation and where did he learn that little gem? The Internet. Nothing can be taken at face value by these people, they will pick everything from a source they don't like to pieces using some warped logic, whilst believing staunchly in the words of some crackpot students on google video who tells them that the US are run by the Illuminati and Israel is in league with aliens who wish to conquer the universe. I don't want to name names but you know who you are. (Park Life, Fop etc etc...) Edited March 23, 2009 by Danny B Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

acrossthepond 901 Posted March 23, 2009 Share Posted March 23, 2009 It's truly hilarious that you mention Fop as a 'left wing idiot.' :( You don't have a clue, do you? Either that or you can't read.

ChezGiven 0 Posted March 23, 2009 Share Posted March 23, 2009 Speaking of the property ladder, was reading some article in The Economist last night saying that the relatively large increase in homeownership in the US, UK and interestingly Spain will hinder the labour market dynamics which are critical to recovery from deep structural recessions.

Insofar as people are less able to "get on their bike" and find work where there's work to be had? That was the general idea. Compared the mobility of the american workforce post the great depression to today and said the irony is that homeownership not only caused the crisis but will exacerbate its length as people are tied to their location. Espeically if they are in negative equity. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Espeically if they are in negative equity. That phrase. The owner of my company laid it down to one of my colleagues on Friday, he said we're not in a recession, we're in a depression, lets hope he's talking cliched bollocks long term, because we all know what cleared the 30's depression.

Fop's quite happy attacking down either the Left or Right wing, or through the middle, Fop can even be found producing goalkeeping heroics on occasion or suggesting an entirely different game altogether.
