  1. I'd like to, but to be honest I don't think I'll be able to get out - I'm putting my own night on tonight at the well space, so that's my bi monthly night out pass spent, boooo.
  2. Thanks guise Quality - is that the Baltic Triangle in Liverpool? Indeed it is - my new job is in the Elevator Studios building on Parliament Street (where the Baltic Social bar is), so I pass this every day. Cool place to work! I go over there a bit to meet the guys from Mocha Productions - the steak sandwiches in the Baltic Social are amazing.

  4. I've got one like that in my back yard - got some whoppers this year.
  5. I'm quite pleased about doing this to my work colleagues outside central library.

    I think it'll be a while before they die off - and the stupid old farts who read them.

    What do you mean by fuckups then, people on low incomes who can't afford private healthcare? People with substance abuse problems? People who can't find work who are claiming benefits? Where do you draw the line that decides who deserves to live or die?

    No I don't. I believe you're a bellend though. if you support the notion of universal free healthcare, education and whatever you do exactly that, maybe you just don't realize how that mechanism works so that's the actual issue? Yeah you're exactly right, my left wing brain just doesn't get it - I'm so overwhelmed with compassion 24/7 I can't use reason or logic anymore. jesus, it's not the point. it's just a honest realization that the universal whatevers are blunt tools that often take money from people who earned it and give them to fuckups who you would never thought of supporting if you had a direct interaction with them. i mean i too support subsidized shit because it makes things easier for me, but at least i don't lie to myself about its fairness, as i said it's often not fair at all. What about children? What about people who can't work because of disability or life changing injuries? What about people who are retired or spend their lives caring for a loved one? Are they all fuckups too?

    i'm just a product of public education. Me too, but there's a fundamental difference between us.

    I'm not discussing this with you anymore. You're an imbecile.

    ok but why demand that from people who don't feel like caring for literally everyone? you could set up some charity yourself. Because it should be an obligation as a citizen of the UK. If you don't like it maybe you could go and live in the Victorian era, or somewhere else where they don't have public healthcare and education - perhaps Indonesia? You could put your kids out on the street, selling their arses to pay for your root canal surgery. That'd be nice wouldn't it?

    there's nothing wrong with dying on the street if you can't be arsed to take care of yourself, i'm not talking about people who have suddenly became disabled and unable to work or something, i'm specifically talking about people who will exploit such systems. yeah i'm not really into marxist mythology, and that's going off topic quite bit. but anyway, taxation covers everyone anyway, those who worked hard and those who didn't. what does it mean "should be a right" exactly? it's not air or sun that are just there, those are (still) expensive services. i mean it's not wrong to have those systems socialized if there's a consensus about it, but no need to portray them as inherently ethical. essentially it's just more well off people paying for those who can't/can't be arsed to pay for themselves. Say a kid's born into a working class family, who pay tax and national insurance - shouldn't they entitled to the same level of care for cancer treatment as a wealthy entrepreneur who pays a fraction of the tax just because he can afford private healthcare? Is it fair the NHS is being deliberately run into the ground to pave the way for US-style private healthcare? I don't think so. I believe it is an ethical issue and I believe there's a duty of care from a government to look after the people it taxes for those services. you're pitting corporate tax with the regular taxes, which is a different issue. better compare middle class ( a lot of them vote conservative too) and the poor. why should those who pay nothing have the same healthcare as those who pay much more tax? Because I give a shit people other than myself - can you dig that? If not, sorry mate, you're a lost cause.

    This. I just joined the Labour party because Corbyn won. My rational for this is simple: he's in the corner of the working classes as opposed to greedy mega rich cunts. Healthcare and education should be a right for everyone, not just a bonus for the well off. The tories should be tried for the eugenics program they're currently undertaking - all because some disabled and sick people can't be milked for cash.
  17. Digging this one mate - consistent high standards as usual.
  18. Why is that black woman stealing the disabled man's water?
  19. "Mr Lim defended the content of the billboard, telling the Herald it was a harmless play on words." - brilliant.
  20. I thought it was okay. I like Braff. Garden State is way better tho.I don't mind Braff either and I agree on Garden State - I found the whole thing sickeningly sweet though, plus there's no way Kate Hudson would put up with his loser-but-passionate-about-his-dream ways in real life.

  21. 'Wish I Was Here' written, directed and starring Zach Braff. The most pretentiously cool, mawkish, pseudo-wise piece of shit I've ever seen. Fuck Netflix and their bullshit ratings. Sent from my Vodafone 890N using Tapatalk
