Old men complaining about youths having it too easy and being disrespectful is a tradition as old as language. The ancient greeks complained about it too for instance. Also, I read poppy abusers as a euphemism for Afghans as well before remembering about British traditions. And didn't the French de-facto control England during a lot of the middle ages?

Nope the entire history of the two realms in the late medieval period was defined by the French trying to get money from the English crown for there French lands and the English trying to take the whole thing.

It really depends on if you think Normans were french. They kind of were, but they were also vikings.

Unsurprisingly, the comments were people I see 'drinking from the garden hose' mentioned a lot in those dumb nostalgic memes. Is this something lots of kids did and was there a big push to stop it in the 90's or something? Do people really miss the days they could have a swig of nasty water from a dirty hose?

People get nostalgic for it because they associate it with playing outside in the summer as kids. e: All the young kids in my extended family still do it but that's largely because pretty much everyone I'm related to and has kids is poor as poo poo and aren't about to buy bottled water when there's perfectly good tap water available.

It's something that's clearly delineated between generations and something that people can point to as an example of the wussification of america. I drank out of the hose as a kid (only ~90s kidz~ will get this) and it's not like it's dangerous but if you gave me a choice I'd take the bottled water every time.

I grew up on a lot of television and took most of my cues from them. So when I stood up to my bully and decked him one I expected to hear canned applause and the bully to skulk away. Instead I found out that time spent in the library doesn't build up strength for a good punch. So I got the poo poo kicked out of me. gently caress this dude.

Nah, it's because we have spent the past 2000+ years letting in all these bloody foreigners that the true natives should now rise up and take Britain back! Pity they have probably been breed out of existence a millennia ago but who cares.

No, pretty sure I'd be insulted and/or freaked out even if the guy catcalling me was fit. It's not a compliment, anyway. I have a face like a slapped arse. Men who go 'hey sexy' or whatever are taking the piss. ETA: I am not a fan of Boyle, but Farage is a oval office and his fans are exactly the kind of people who'd post 'dem muzzies are takin ova britain, sport are poppys or get out' memes on Facebook.

If Brad Pitt catcalled me I'd stand around and wait for Angelina Jolie to leap out of a bush and slap his idiot face. I'm always amazed that these people think women's entire being hinges on strange men giving them a sense of worth. I hope I never end up in a relationship with someone who is only doing it because lots of other people wanted to gently caress me as well.
