Society is in the gutter

In my youth I used to have a paper round, imagine my surprise when I realised I could have whored myself out to the Lib Dems completely tax free and at hours that better suited me.

In fact Hampstead Heath is downhill from me so cycling to work would 'always' be fun!

this new board is literally a young child claiming to have been abused by a priest....

it's a bloody shambles....

20 years ago the year was 1988. now we've escalated to 2008. it's a fucking shambles.

The very fact this is my favourite thread on ILX right now is testament to society's downfall.

Society can no longer afford to heat the gutter, it's in the sewer now.

Society is in the sewer, knee deep in sewage to match the sewage in it's mind!

(this thread kicks ass, but the "Have Your Say" thread on the LHC at the BBC website beats it - the difference unfortunately is that those people are serious...)

I haven't seen a neatly starchjed and ironed pinafore in ages. Nowadays, if I did, it would probably be worn backwards. By a boy with a tattoo on his tongue.

For some reason my housemates DON'T lock the door. Considering I haven't even met both of them yet, it feels too early to be cranky about this.

No, it's okay to be angry.
Might as well enjoy being angry now, before you meet your housemates and realize they are mental defectives, then you will feel guilty for being angry. So enjoy it while you can.

yeah, that pretty much validates my theory that the absolute best advice makes you feel better despite a fairly tenuous relationship with the real world

society, it is nothing but a joke!

i fall down the well of chaos and never come out, unlike your baby jessica. i see the maggots at the bottom of the hole. they sharpen their spoons in anticipation! your despair is the dark's dessert!

your suffering is not special enough to be the main course, which of course is the dirt.

Who knew that black metal lyrics and Daily Mail rants had so much in common?

Somebody at this point has to do the "semi-literate screeds of misread occultism, race hate and misogyny...and black metal lyrics aren't much better" gag here and it might as well be me.

Loony Leftie Telford Council snivellingly backtrack on their Park Pervert Patrol Policy.

It is a disgrace. The saucy socialists should be EXTENDING the policy to allow immediate detention of ALL single adults and while we're at it ALL childless couples as well REMEMBER MADDY

These so-called single adults should be out looking for work instead of molesting children in the park.

(xpost) amazing how quickly the "Have Your Say" section of that page disintegrates into a clusterfuck of "why don't you just go and live in Nazi Germany/Stalin's Russia then?"

Only the guilty have nothing to hide.

Them and the Easter Bunny.

for all we know these days the schools are giant houses made of drugsm run by a wicked pete doherty witch,
for our youth, a gaggle of little hansel geldofs and grettel winehouses

With Gary Glitter the janitor.

A drop of snow and this so called information supersociety grinds to a halt. Lest we forget it was God who made the world. Someone somewhere is having a right old chuckle.

society is in the gutter, which is full of snow, which isn't like the snow, you had, in my day.

Where was the orange ball in Liverpool v Chelsea v snow yesterday?

orange balls, jumpers for goalposts, clacking fans, flat caps, simpler days

Society is in the gutter

Nowadays, the only children who can kick a ball in the street are the children of MPs who have claimed that ball on expenses. The rest will be lucky if they don't get sent to Afghanistan.

Do not feed the trollumnist.

"booze-fuelled urine flowing over poppies"

"Culprits have learnt to claim victim status"

"Conscience has been outsourced"

"having more children with a variety of fathers meant a rising tide of cash payments"

This guy hits the trifecta and then some

"British state rewards unmarried mothers with a level of benefits most would be unable to earn in legal employment. They are incentivised to go solo."

Good. Grief.

"after 12 years of his New Labour project, the respect to which Mr Blair referred is in the sewer."

It's only funny until you get to "When Labour forced through its disastrous policy of mass immigration, what respect did it show to the millions of indigenous working-class voters whose communities would come under serious strain as a result? Did anyone explain the true consequences, rather than just the bogus benefits?" and then it's like WTF.

imo this thread is jhosheas finest moment

No quibbles there, except that after 12 years of his New Labour project, the respect to which Mr Blair referred is in the sewer.

Has Randall even been to Fratton Park Sewers this season

xp no kidding- this in particular:

One time I found a dead dog in the street. There was a boy, not much older than me, crying. I asked is this your dog. He just looked at me. Later we fought in the war together.

Randall has form for this type of crap.

May I congratulate the liberal intelligentsia for the direction they have taken this country in the past forty-odd years. Society? Hardly, or not as I understand the word anyway. This is monitored anarchy! Law and Order has been made redundant. It's all 'Rights' before retribution. Send in the social worker.
Many years ago, we opened doors for women, offered our seats etc, said 'please' and 'thank-you'. Today it's all old hat. We try and murder pregnant school girls! But for Mr Hall, they would have succeeded. A ray of hope.
Would you rather live in my world, or what we have clearly got today?
I have the telephone number of our local Funeral director written down, for when it's needed. The saddest thing is that I won't be sad to leave. 21st century Britain? I hope you enjoy it.

in the past forty-odd years

That would include the 18 years when the country was governed by the Conservatives?

ha. reminds me - the mail has a classic feature today about how you used to be able to kick a ball in the street;

that article... where to start...

this thread is all-time ILX top 20

Yep, you don't get threads like this anymore.

wilful gangs of internet thieves have literally stolen these threads and joyridden them at pensioners

Time was you could laugh at a Parish Priest! Nowadays all the parish priests have been flung into jail. God doesn't mean anything to these people.

The erosion of children's outdoor play started with the increase in road traffic from the late 1950s onwards.

So not liberal do-gooding 'elf and safety fascists then?

Meanwhile, BBC News blames curtain-twitching, paedo-scaping fearmongers for the lack of balls being kicked in the street.
