Those people make up part of the new proletariat/precariat now that a job for life is a figment of history. e: 1914 - A young man fails his physical exam for induction into the Austrian Army and returns to Munich embittered and saying he never wanted to join anyway due to the 'mixture of races' in the Habsburg Armies. Could have been prevented by more rugby in schools if you ask me. Guavanaut fucked around with this message at 18:38 on Mar 3, 2016 |

Was just in the corner shop and saw a tabloid with the title "Paedo in his speedo" with a man in his speedo. I guess this is a public service. They deem this sight to be incredibly disturbing and harmful to children, which is why they've decided to print it on every single newspaper in every single shop in the country. At child height.

Well the British are largely the descendants of people who, when the old British turned up and said "We have a flag" didn't immediately kill them and drive them away so I guess that's why, maybe?

Tesseraction posted:"I lived in a place where people loved rugby and no-one ever forced me to play it, truly, no-one could possibly be forced to play it in places where it isn't loved." Were you repeatedly concussed as a child or something?  MrL_JaKiri posted:Afaik schools tend to play union so you being in Leeds or whatever doesn't have much bearing. State schools, up here at least, all play League. You definitely would end up with concussion if you suggested they play "the other one", there's... quite a lot of feeling about it. tooterfish fucked around with this message at 19:34 on Mar 3, 2016 |

Plus all the people who were of an independent mindset hosed off to the Colonies and then told the King to do one, whilst all the upstarts got shipped to Oz (though look how that turned out).

Hahahaquote:[English Canada] inherited, not the benefits, but the bitterness of the Revolution. It got no shining scriptures out of it. It got little release of energy and no new horizons of the spirit were opened up. It had been a calamity, pure and simple.[104] To take the place of the internal fire that was urging Americans westward across the continent, there was only melancholy contemplation of things as they might have been and dingy reflection of that ineffably glorious world across the stormy Atlantic. English Canada started its life with as powerful a nostalgic shove backward into the past as the Conquest had given to French Canada: two little peoples officially devoted to counter-revolution, to lost causes, to the tawdry ideals of a society of men and masters, and not to the self-reliant freedom alongside of them.

The intro to that book about Liberalism that Oberleutnant recommended has some good stuff about how the liberal desire for 'self-reliant freedom' seemed to be positively correlated with the liberal desire to own other people at the time.

OwlFancier posted:I would concur that small business owners are disproportionately vile, yes. But if we're only going to give economic autonomy to nice people we're going to run into some problems when it comes to implementing communism. Jeremy Corbyn has far more to offer small businesses than Cameron, as the tories basically see little businesses as meals for their pals at MegaCorp ltd. Cameron will make the odd sop to little businesses but it's smart of Corbyn to actually reach out to them with solid plans to help them. If he can sound more economically credible than the Tories then he's won. I'd rather see local shops ran by local people than as discardable limbs of Bastards incorporated. Doctorchat. Junior doctors will boycott review into poor morale. In what is quite possibly the most naked example of "creating some research to get the answers you want", Hunt's review of poor morale of Junior Doctors in the NHS explicitly will not look at working hours or salaries. I wonder what will happen if the main cause of poor morale comes back as "Jeremy Hunt". absolutely nothing

American plutocrats have such influence and attract such obsession that I'd argue they're indistinguishable from old royalty/nobility in a practical sense. See especially the kennedys in the mid 20th century.

Making tea and coffee for anybody who wants one is one of my break tactics too. Also fill the kettle to the brim and stand there while it (slowly) boils. I do some of my most productive thinking while staring at a boiling kettle.

Apparently it (sand) was brutal because it wormed its way into armour and burned through underclothes in a way that water didn't often manage.
