When i was in college living in a hostel, one of the lads used to read the Daily mail, one day one of the madder lads set it on fire as he read it, and anyone who remembers the Bonaza opening titles, and Road runner, as he realised his paper was on fire will understand.
He never read it again in public, and we got a serious telling off for starting a fire.
gweilo, newsflash!! There is a hitherto hidden "[url= http://www.politicalcompass.org/ ]2nd axis[/url]" of politics. 😯 and indeed 😉
...which means you can be both lefty and heavily interventionist at the same time.
I would love to know if the STW masseev feels that there is a difference bvetween the scientific misinformation and "advice" propagated by various religions and the scientific misinformation and "advice" propagated by the Mail. Hopefully being concerned about this does not make me overly authoritarian.
I don't have a problem with anyone reading the mail, as long as they don't have a problem with me kicking the shit out of next person who treats my family badly because of their origins.
Seem like a fair trade to me 🙂
a 2ndaxis oh bugger lol
I just completed the test and apparently I'm libertarian left..... which must be why I hate the interventionist approach 😕
I've passed the link to my daughter who is studying politics at A2 I'm sure her cohort will enjoy it tomorrow

As has been said earlier most of those likely to attack your family are unlikely to have the intellect to read the Mail, much more likely to be The Sun, Star or the Sport...
The view of an immigrant, my wife, on the Mail is as follows: "You have to realise its the opinion of the journalist that wrote the piece and if you cant get beyond that you should shut up as you can't form your own opinions and have nothing to say"
I'm not sure she's a libertarian....
Its got to the point where he thinks im being funny as i tell him i have no interest in anything he says when it starts "I read......." knowing that it will be from that rag not worthy of wiping your arse on.
he's trying to bond with you and take your relationship to a more intelligent level..
he needs you to challenge him as he's worried that you're too absorbed in Corrie and X Factor..
He needs to know that you care enough..
Get thyself round to his gaff immediately with a big bottle of grog, stick some tunes on, get the old fella royally pissed and then wrestle in the garden, before getting a taxi into town for coke, hookers and a punch-up with some students in the kebab shop..
then you can get home and do lines of dodgy chaplin and rant ecstatically together til dawn about what you would do if it was you and yer pa in the coalition..
it's your duty as a son, don't ignore his cry for help... he's lonely and he misses you, misses your innocence, misses rocking you to sleep in his arms
gosh I do hate politics, just let folks do their own thing as long as it's legal and among consenting adults it's no-one else's business.
Also worth bearing in mind that politics stems from Poly -meaning many and Ticks- pointelss blood sucking parasites. 😆
It certainly has its place. It gives me great pleasure coming on here and seeing how many lefty/attention seekers its wound up 🙂
