Every child born in Britain should be implanted with a device that prevents them from becoming fertile until it is removed. In order to have it removed they should have to meet certain guidelines. ie - not be a drug user, ____insert other controversial rule here____.

There. Vote Rumpie.

You insert NuvaRing® into your vagina just once a month.

And have to pass stringent tests to have it removed.

People are social creatures -- and we work much better in tribes than in festering little family units.

link?

Christ, there's nothing more tedious than the new non-argumentative way of arguing on the internet. Rather than think up something to counter someone, you just go "link?" as if net posts are all essays that need sourcing. rather than points for discussion.

Take any residential street. Imagine a con-man is going door-to-door fleecing homeowners. If they all know their neighbours, he'll get fewer than three doors down before someone's phoned ahead to warn everyone. But if they're all isolated little "I'm in my castle" types, our con-man is going to fleece the lot of them.

Modern society allows people to pretend they're not part of an interdependent tribe. They are. And happyslapping is another manifestation of the breakdown -- of our society working much more poorly broken n little units

see when the old trout finally carks it? can we do an ILX megaFAP, involving as many people drinking as many pints of foaming lager as possible, then go and piss on her grave?

seriously: they're going to have to put a fucking electric fence round the thing to stop me.

"but she's a human being," several people have mewled when i've said stuff like this before. to which i would counter: show me the fucking evidence.

You want to examine her body?

― Alba (Alba), Friday, 16 December 2005 17:03 (eighteen years ago) link

Just to make sure she's really dead I imagine

of course, people (in absolutely every social class and walk of life) actually THINKING before they have children - am i able, in every way, to bring them up to be decent human beings? am i willing to put in the effort here? do i actually want a CHILD, not just a baby? etc etc - would be a vast, vast step forwards too.

oh my god so completely otm! grimly, you've been very good value here, thanks for popping in.

she has a reptilian heart.

x-post: coo, ta!

btw, charlie, you never did e-mail me about that human league CD (qv YSI thread number 4 or 5 on ILM). if you still want it, do so. (use the webmail link.)

i remember the standard trying to blame the killing of that poor guy on jamaican music. smart reporting.
anyway, it's a horrible trend, tho i don't think it is likely to happen to me.

No?

That was almost impossible to see, it was too jerkyblocky.

Thats mobile phone technology for you.

― Brigadier Lethbridge-Pfunkboy (Kerr), Tuesday, 18 April 2006 07:33 (eighteen years ago) link

That is quite disturbing.

I assume it is a fake.

Disturbing? I must live in such a rubbish town.

i can't get it to work :(

― Ste (Fuzzy), Tuesday, 18 April 2006 10:09 (eighteen years ago) link

Well, I would not like to be clobbered, hence I am disturbed.

― PJ Miller (PJ Miller 68), Tuesday, 18 April 2006 10:46 (eighteen years ago) link

even a fake clobbering can hurt

Bloke clobbers person for benefit of camera-totin pals, person turns round and clobbers bloke then kicks him while he is on ground. All very unlikely.

I have not seen any of this before, I supopose I shouldn't have clicked, but we all make mistakes.

― PJ Miller (PJ Miller 68), Tuesday, 18 April 2006 10:55 (eighteen years ago) link

a man says "I am going to happyslap" then pretends to happyslap another man then the other man pretends to beat up the man who pretended to happyslap him

No he doesn't, he says "Tonight, Matthew, I am going to be a happy slapper". Credit where credit's due.

― PJ Miller (PJ Miller 68), Tuesday, 18 April 2006 10:59 (eighteen years ago) link

The real question here is will there ever come a day when it will be "Tonight, Cat, I am going to be a..."????!!?

Does this happen anymore (in the UK I mean) or did it only happen in 2005 and 2006?

― Pat Condell tha funkee homosapien (Noodle Vague), Saturday, 25 April 2015 15:32 (nine years ago) link

is it a small plate or a big plate? would you want more than one for a main course?

Had it not been for ilx and this thread, I would probably have lived the balance of my life unaware of the happyslapping fad. Now I cannot unsee this.
