The thread has been an interesting insight into mindsets certainly.
I think it’d be not unreasonable to sweep up all the ‘angry at the world’, anti this sort of law and it’s curtailing of MY freedoms into an older male category. A ‘boomer’ or even ‘gammon’ label if you will. It’s easy to see why this category of society have such a reputation for self orientation.
This is a classic of the genre…
I’m a 55 year old furniture maker. When i’m wearing my work costume, I always have a 3″ Festool lock knife in my pocket…and I don’t give a flying f@ck. End of
Man doing something totally legal (because of context) who ‘don’t give a flying f@ck’. Go you, you rebel without a cause. Not just that – ‘End of’ no less. Nothing more to say. Angry at the world for a law that has been crafted to allow exactly what he’s doing to be perfectly fine. I can’t tell if it’s because he’s too daft to appreciate it’s all good, too lazy to bother reading more to find out…..or just predisposed to be angry.
Anyway, it lovely and sunny so I’m off for a gravel bike ride. Gravel – that’ll make someone angry too no doubt, should have said 90’s mtb ride. And…..nope….can’t think of a good reason why I’ll need a knife. I’ll report back and confirm I survived without having needed to slice a tomato, whittle a stick or molest a horse’s hoof and been left tragically bereft of the tools for the job.
