And I'll be fair to him, now that I'm looking at the cover I can see exactly where he's coming from. It's a horror comic, so it's always going to be confronting, but it's being as conservative as it can be with that imagery. Anything more and it would be gratuitous.

Still maybe shouldn't have pushed that logic in front of a tribunal of people he was calling communists right at the dawning of the Cold War, though.

Sorry guys, more EU ref stuff. It's a bloody civil war on UK social media.

quote:

Dear young remainers
65 year olds + knew rationing
75 year olds + knew the Luftwaffe
90 year olds + knew Panzer
They didn't "STEAL YOUR FUTURE", they gave you one!!
Remember that!!

Sure guys. You and your offspring also enjoyed:

Public services
Trade unions
Low cost of living
An affordable housing market
A tiny wealth gap
Social mobility
Free degree level education
Final salary pensions
Social housing
Welfare
A funded NHS

But didn't feel the need to pass any of that on to subsequent generations, so you could hang on to the money instead.

Your children in parliament pander to your out-dated, backward views, and give you far more tax payer money than you deserve (and no doubt far more than I'll get), because you have nothing better to do on a Thursday than go and tick the box that the Daily Express told you to (and incidentally, how the gently caress have you not realised in your 70 odd years that newspapers are full of poo poo?) As a consequence, your gently caress faced children are currently:

Dismantling the NHS
Dismantling the UK
Dismantling the EU, which was set up in response to the division of races and nations that lead TO THE WAR YOU'RE SO PROUD TO HAVE FOUGHT IN, YOU TOTAL CUNTS.

You don't know what's best for young people. You're retired. You're not in the game anymore. You have no loving idea what the job market's like, what the cost of living in relation to wages or rent is like, how hard it is for young people to even loving leave home these days, let alone entertain the idea of ever owning a house. How loving dare you vote in a decision that's going to affect these guys for the rest of their lives, but has absolutely no bearing on yours, even aside from the fact that there's not much of it left.

The post doesn't even make sense. You fought Hitler, so we're not allowed an EU? Look, thanks for beating that guy, really, but can you please just leave your mobility cart in the garage and stop loving up your grand kids' and great grand kids' future, please?

TLDR - old people are cunts.

Yes, let's keep Springfield, Quincy, Champaign/Urbana, Decatur, and East St. Louis--all small towns that are the very embodiment of redneck life

You see all that empty space in the west central and central parts of the state that he bisected for some reason? That needs to stay in southern Illinois, because that's primo, ultra-refined, top-grade redneck country right there. You can't walk ten feet out in that corn, soybean, and woodland waste without running into a cousin-humper with a kitchen-job Browning deerhead logo tattoo and an alarming disregard for dental hygiene

Also, I should point out that Rauner's doing okay for an Illinois governor. Been there since January of '15 and hasn't been indicted yet :toot:

A lot of people put a ton of stock into the presidential elections for obvious reasons, but local elections get ignored by virtually everyone. The problem is that local elections are sometimes the most important for you personally, because smaller politicians from town mayors to state governors and their respective governments are responsible for a lot of the legislation that directly affects the citizens. Rick Scott, the incumbent governor/Voldemort of Florida, has signed bills on abortion restrictions and lower funding for Planned Parenthood, public school transfers, gambling laws, medical marijuana laws, etc. But 2014 saw Florida's worst voter turnout for a gubernatorial election in 14 years at only 17.5% of the eligible population voting for their governor. For comparison, 57.5% of eligible citizens voted in the 2012 presidential election even though Rick Scott's bills would affect them much more than Obama would.

But yeah, the United States is loving weird as a country. Technically it's a single nation divided into 50 smaller subdivisions, and federal laws do affect everyone and you can freely cross borders as easily as leaving a city without any kind of checkpoints or anything. But every single state has its own laws that are often wildly different as you cross state lines, to the point where you may be breaking laws just by crossing from one state to the other with the contents of your car (there's been cases of people with legally carried self-defense guns in their car being stopped and arrested in New Jersey because they forgot to empty the gun and lock it up in the trunk before getting too far down the highway). And every state has its own unique culture and climate, so California and Texas are just as different from one another as Delaware and Oregon. Each state is like its own self-contained country with a higher authority that vaguely keeps it in control.

While the quality of writing has its ups and downs, Marvel has generally been pretty decent about representation in their comics and pushing various limits, even including some decently written queer subtext stuff well before any characters were actually out as gay. There have always been women in marvel comics, and again while different writers had various ups and downs they were often in leadership roles and are frequently very powerful characters both literally and in terms of driving the narratives.

I mean I hate to agree with an internet crazy but when the first page was posted I thought it was a cute comic and then it ends with saying she couldn't be a super hero because she was a woman, ignoring the massive history marvel has with their characters. :confused:

It's almost like the writer is commenting on real world issues rather than being absolutely literal with Marvel's convoluted and dumbass history that includes a villain that uses paste as a weapon.

They literally think that immigrants are coming to their country for the sole purpose of displacing the original inhabitants, taking over their governments, plundering their wealth to sending it back home, and attempting to forcibly legislate cultural changes unwanted by the original inhabitants. They have experience with this process, you see.

I googled the guys name and found an article written in the local independent paper about how the Uni/FemSoc was being sexist by not allowing a Male Society, which had a comment on it explaining that actually it was allowed, and the only contact between them and the women's issues societies was them saying that the male society had had no contact with them whatsoever.

This is the complete opposite from what I've encountered. There are a lot of Canadian flags flying on my neighbourhood, right next to the home owner's country of origin. When I went door to door for the federal census, a lot of the white people were rude or perverted as gently caress, but every recent immigrant was super excited to fill out the form.

U bet the dude with the truck who made up that bullshit story is the same kind of guy who would tell me to gently caress off with my census because his life isn't the government's business.

Can't speak for the perversion because I'm a dude and therefore my respondents tend to not act creepy towards me, but yeah most of the worst people I run into are the whitest of whites. I can't say every immigrant seems thrilled to fill it but they sure as hell tend to be more cooperative in general.


If you were a young woman knocking on dozens of doors in various neighborhoods you'd probably run into a lot of creeps too.

Thought you might like and relate to this one:
The typical U.S. household headed by a person age 65 or older has a net worth 47 times greater than a household headed by someone under 35, according to an analysis of census data released Monday.

They like to refer to us as senior citizens, old fogies, geezers, and in some cases dinosaurs. Some of us are "Baby Boomers" getting ready to retire. Others have been retired for some time. We walk a little slower these days and our eyes and hearing are not what they once were. We worked hard, raised our children, worshiped our God and have grown old together.

Yes, we are the ones some refer to as being over the hill, and that is probably true. But before writing us off completely, there are a few things that need to be taken into consideration.

In school we studied English, history, math, and science, which enabled us to lead America into the technological age. Most of us remember what outhouses were, many of us with firsthand experience. We remember the days of telephone party-lines, 25 cent gasoline, and milk and ice being delivered to our homes. For those of you who don't know what an icebox is, today they are electric and referred to as refrigerators. A few even remember when cars were started with a crank. Yes, we lived those days.

We are probably considered old fashioned and outdated by many. But there are a few things you need to remember before completely writing us off. We won World War II, fought in Korea and Viet Nam. We can quote The Pledge of Allegiance, and know where to place our hand while doing so. We wore the uniform of our country with pride and lost many friends on the battlefield. We didn't fight for the Socialist States of America; we fought for the "Land of the Free and the Home of the Brave." We wore different uniforms but carried the same flag.

We know the words to the “Star Spangled Banner" “America,” and “America the Beautiful” by heart, and you may even see some tears running down our cheeks as we sing. We have lived what many of you have only read in history books and we feel no obligation to apologize to anyone for America .

Yes, we are old and slow these days but rest assured, we have at least one good fight left in us. We have loved this country, fought for it, and died for it, and now we are going to save it. It is our country and nobody is going to take it away from us. We took oaths to defend America against all enemies, foreign and domestic, and that is an oath we plan to keep. There are those who want to destroy this land we love but, like our founders, there is no way we are going to remain silent.

It was mostly the young people of this nation who elected Obama and the Democratic Congress. You fell for the "Hope and Change" which in reality was nothing but "Hype and Lies." You youngsters have tasted socialism and seen evil face to face, and have found you don't like it after all. You make a lot of noise, but most are all too interested in their careers or "Climbing the Social Ladder" to be involved in such mundane things as patriotism and voting. Many of those who fell for the "Great Lie" in 2008 are now having buyer's remorse. With all the education we gave you, you didn't have sense enough to see through the lies and instead drank the 'Kool-Aid.' Now you're paying the price and complaining about it; no jobs, lost mortgages, higher taxes, and less freedom.

This is what you voted for and this is what you got. We entrusted you with the Torch of Liberty, and you
traded it for a paycheck and a fancy house.

Well, don't worry youngsters, the Grey-Haired Brigade is here, and in 2016 we are going to take back our nation. We may drive a little slower than you would like, but we get where we're going, and in 2016 we're going to the polls by the millions.

This land does not belong to the man in the White House nor to the likes of Nancy Pelosi, Harry Reid, Eric Holder or Loretta Lynch. It belongs to "We the People," and "We the People" plan to reclaim our land and our freedom. We hope this time you will do a better job of preserving it and passing it along to our grandchildren. So the next time you have the chance to say the Pledge of Allegiance, stand up, put your hand over your heart, honor our country, and thank God for the old geezers of the "Gray-Haired Brigade."

Footnote: This is spot on. I am another Gray-Haired Geezer signing on. I will circulate this to other Gray-Haired Geezers all over this once great county.
