Aargh, fuck off friend of my mum's who has just posted this:

"Today we mourn the passing of a beloved old friend, Common Sense, who has
been with us for many years. No one knows for sure how old he was, since his
birth records were long ago lost in bureaucratic red tape. He will be remembered
as having cultivated such valuable lessons as:
- Knowing when to come in out of the rain;
- Why the early bird gets the worm;
- Life isn't always fair;
- and maybe it was my fault.
Common Sense lived by simple, sound financial policies
(don't spend more than you can earn) and reliable strategies (adults, not children, are in charge).
His health began to deteriorate rapidly when well-intentioned but overbearing regulations
were set in place. Reports of a 6-year-old boy charged with sexual harassment for kissing
a classmate; teens suspended from school for using mouthwash after lunch; and a teacher
fired for reprimanding an unruly student, only worsened his condition.
Common Sense lost ground when parents attacked teachers for doing the job that they
themselves had failed to do in disciplining their unruly children.
It declined even further when schools were required to get parental consent to administer
sun lotion or an aspirin to a student; but could not inform parents when a student became
pregnant and wanted to have an abortion.
Common Sense lost the will to live as the churches became businesses; and criminals received
better treatment than their victims.
Common Sense took a beating when you couldn't defend yourself from a burglar in your own
home and the burglar could sue you for assault.
Common Sense finally gave up the will to live, after a woman failed to realize that a steaming
cup of coffee was hot. She spilled a little in her lap, and was promptly awarded a huge settlement.
Common Sense was preceded in death, by his parents, Truth and Trust, by his wife,
Discretion, by his daughter, Responsibility, and by his son, Reason.
He is survived by his 4 stepbrothers;
I Know My Rights
I Want It Now
Someone Else Is To Blame
I'm A Victim
Not many attended his funeral because so few realized he was gone.
If you still remember him, pass this on. If not, join the majority and do nothing"

I have reached a point in my life where I still feel it is necessary to impress people by proclaiming that I don't care whether I impress them or not.

Vic Perry, Sunday, 15 March 2015 17:51 (nine years ago) link

.. AND I DON'T CARE!!!

Mark G, Sunday, 15 March 2015 17:55 (nine years ago) link

I have reached a point in my life where I no longer try to impress people, because I'm not all that impressive.

Aimless, Sunday, 15 March 2015 18:14 (nine years ago) link

I'm impressed.

Doctor Casino, Thursday, 19 March 2015 00:57 (nine years ago) link

I agree. just lol'd at the 'stevie d' part. but I did not know about this 'too much time on ilx' thread, which sounds more appropriate. or maybe I'm just being told that I've spent too much time on ilx.

Team Foxcatcherwatcher (Sufjan Grafton), Thursday, 19 March 2015 01:20 (nine years ago) link

Team Foxcatcherwatcher (Sufjan Grafton), Thursday, 19 March 2015 01:20 (nine years ago) link
