BRAVO to the British population for electing the strongest Conservative majority since Thatcher !

a reply to: PaddyInf

it didnt make me unhappy , it obviously doesnt sit well with you though otherwise we wouldnt be having this discussion , I do take on board peoples opinions when I consider them worthy.

This particular opinion of yours I dont care for.

Aye please stop derailing the thread with personal attacks on the way I express myself thanks.

Unless you are from Blighty people struggle with "Jockanese".

Only really the very serious Glaswegian i need an interpreter for. Well, that and whatever language the drunks in Dundee speak!

Howay lads, haddaway n #e.

Nee need to barney ower this.

I understand Jockish perfectly well....and anything that confuses our colonial cousins and continental neighbours and gives us a giggle is ok with me.

even coming from Scotland its very hard to understand anyone when they are seriously drunk , the slurring of words and the rolling of letters , normally because they are shouting into your ear in an attempt to communicate but only deafen you in their futile attempt.

It reminds me of my flat mate Patrick from Belfast, lovely man , but when drunk he was a wee toerag , you could get on with him no problem but understanding him was a difficulty , but I think he embelished his drunkeness often to act the fool in front of the fairer sex , Im not sure what his angle was , "pity the drunken fool " ?

Just thinking of our situation
why dont we have "scotsmen , englishmen and irishmen " jokes any more , I miss those


One of my favs told by many comedians but Hector nicol the tartan tinker.

The scotsman the Englishman and the Irish man are all stuck in the sahara desert , they are walking along dying from thirst and their skin is all blistered from the sun.
The scots man sees a shiny object burined in the sand , then on closer inspection realises its a lamp. He announces triumphantly and shouts " Aww ya dancer , a big effin geenie lamp, whur lucks in noo boys "
The scots man rubs the lamp and right enough out pops a geenie , "three wishes for thee three men" the Geenie proclaims.

The scotsman scratches his head and thinks , he then says " Aww geenie am awfy homesick I miss scotland and the green glens and mountains , and I miss my whisky , send me back tae Bonnie Scotland."

Sure enough the geenie says "Your wish is my command" and POOOF the scotsman dissapears

The English man picks up the lamp where the scots man last stood , and thinks to himself
he then says "Indeed the jock was right , I miss dear old England , I miss my lovely wife, my flat in Whitehall and tea and crumpets" and as if by magic , POOF the englishman was gone .

The Irish man amazed at what he has just witnessed picks up the lamp and really thinks , the Geenie says and So Mick
what will your final wish be , He says , Aye its been awful lonely out here in the desert the three of us , big Tam and and Rutherford , We've been lost for weeks wandering the desert, I really miss my home and I really miss them
I wish I could see them again.... and before Mick could stop he had uttered the words
POOF , the three were united once more

Because of the ridiculous PC culture we live with censors EVERYTHING.

I used to love Dave Allen....... wonder how he would have fared today with

his irreverence about the Irish and the Catholic church?

A Corbyn government would be the greatest threat to common-sense financial management, and common-sense anything.

Because it's worked so well up to now?

The Haves have had it well for a long time. Corbyn is was a huge threat to them and they're media assassination of him made that clear.

I'm not a socialist, or capitalist as i lean more towards the idea that the 2 party paradigm is set up to keep the mob subdued with a pantomime of democracy.

The biggest threat to it are individuals with popular followings whom don't subscribe to maintaining the status quo of financial power for the few. Corbyn was such a threat and that's why i voted for him.

Certainly his policies would've caused financial strife, but, unlike previous Labour, Tory and Tory/Liberal governments he would've put a fair share of that strife's burden upon the rich; upon the mollycoddled financial industry and the land owning elites.

That's why, like Caesar in the senate he was politically assassinated from all quarters; all of those quarters trail back to very rich individuals.

Hopefully by mentioning the names it will draw them out hahaha

Diane abbot + jeremy corbyn nudes, and POOOF here comes carpy !

I see bojo has added a clown to the circus.
www.theguardian.com...

Seems a lovely chap, fan of eugenics and follower of that bell curve book.

I just don't understand what the government thought he could bring to the party that was worth all this baggage.

a reply to: SprocketUK

He does seem a particularly repugnant sort of person.

OI know what little I have read in the papers/internet etc about him but how Boris could even consider having him as an advisor is quite frankly beyond me.

Boris seems to surrounding himself with some thoroughly unlikable people and it appears his style of leadership will lean towards the authoritarian.

We can only wait and see.

Maybe they're easier for Dom to keep in line?
I dunno.

I don't have much faith in IQ tests anyway, they seem to test how good someone is at those tests, nothing else.

I was reading a while back about Richard Feynman, a real, honest to god genius and Nobel prize winner for his work on quantum electro dynamics.
Iq of 125...says it all really when some Muppet in a chatroom boasts about their score of 1 million and still works at McDonald's.

Nothing particularly wrong with Sabisky's comments. Free speech and all that. We've just had a court case about that remember?
I certainly love a devil's advocate.

"...black Americans have a lower than average IQ than white people..."
Well, I haven't seen his sources to point to that conclusion, but someone has to come bottom don't they? If that's what the statistics show, then there you go. Never going to be a perfect average split. Race card again?

The basic idea of eugenics is sound really, just the runners up in that war ruined it!! (that's a joke)

After all, designer babies will one day be a thing, which is meddling with the natural order of things isn't it? Same thing different brand, that innate desire for better or to have the 'best'.

They do checks on unborn babies nowadays don't they for disabilities and such? Undoubtedly some decide to abort upon learning of certain abnormalities. You could say that those parents in a way are practising eugenics.

Humans are a weird bunch, we selectively breed horses and dogs (and any other species we can get our mitts on), in order to produce bigger/stronger/faster (or better looking) organisms.

As for forced contraception to prevent an underclass of people... was the UK still European champions in the highest teen pregnancy league until we left?

a reply to: baggy7981

the problem with these ideas is that it only extends to those who are preferable and of the right breeding to begin with

therefore all eugenics will apply to only the rich and powerful and we will all be left behind as homo sapiens sapiens

while they claim they are a better species and lead to our removal as inferior beings

If these people are fans of eugenics , let them have their DNA screened first , if they are found to be abnormal then we get rid of them first eh !

as for making his statement about black americans being lower in intelligence tests
then how does he explain the two youngest kids in the UK being the youngest to reach college university level are both black males ?

the colour of your skin makes zero #ing difference as to your intelligence, anyone who thinks that is a #ing idiot

show me one piece of biological evidence that links skin colour to intelligence
that guy is full of #e

Putting it that way mate considering the amount of interbreeding that has gone on with the wealthy elite I'm absolutely certain there'd be a more than average number found to be of sub-standard I.Q.....thus a natural culling of the elite and a means to a certain amount of wealth distribution and levelling of the land!
What a beauty idea.....why on earth haven't we thought of it before?

And there's no end to the possibilities if we include the political classes and the clergy in this.

Mate if we were to screen our DNA you will find the strength of our DNA is via our diversity as it keeps the gene pool strong , look at all these interbred royals and you will find likely they have # DNA
therefore they wouldnt pass their own test


these ideas of Pure breeds or races are absolute biological fallacy , , but yes lets indulge them , let them have their wee colonies of "pure" humans and after a few generations they will all likely succumb to bad mutations and DNA errors and eventually they will all get some genetic disease and be wiped out by the next normal cold or flu. While those of us who share our dna and mix as it is supposed to be , we will stay strong

a reply to: sapien82

I don't think there is "in-breeding" in the way represent it. In the here and now, there is a problem with first cousin marriage in some cultures and this does spill-over into the UK, like in the Pakistani community. This does produce health problems and the practice should be banned IMHO.

There is an issue with social "class". Rich people marrying rich people tends to keep rich people together. The same is true with the poor. However, even these social demarcations continue to be eroded. However, this is not genetically problematic per se, because the gene pool is big enough.

There is a problem with people who think they are racially superior, or trying to develop divisive politics to produce a separation i.e. the “we are different” argument. Trying to invent difference where none exists is a habit from certain politicians. That's where we enter the problems with nationalism.

a reply to: paraphi

well I can see the UK becoming exactly that since boris is taking advice from adherents to Eugenics theories

we have a right wing corporatist government , can you see where we are headed ?

who else in history liked corporations and private ownership , who else was right wing, and who else likes eugenics

who else had dreams of making their country great again , yeh the nazis .


Is there a gene for nationalism ?
