Robin Evans Posted January 31, 2017 Share Posted January 31, 2017 4 minutes ago, Farmduck said: My Rant: SUPERMARKET EGGS I had my own ducks and chooks (and turkeys and geese) for about 20 years. Since I've no longer had them, I've had to buy supermarket eggs. WTF are these things? I used to have incubators and after a week I would take infertile eggs out and eat them. Those eggs, after a week at 38°C and 90% humidity were in infinitely better condition than supermarket eggs. I've seen supermarket eggs that haven't even reached their Use-By date so stale that the yolk falls apart as soon as you crack them. I bet I haven't bought eggs from a supermarket in 30 years. I either use donny market home produce stalls or old Jack.... he has an allotment at the back of Rosehill park. Fine eggs. Similarly, though supermarket bread has improved no end this century, you still can't whack Leverton's off Kilnhurst road..... I like to keep my supermarket shop to a minimum and support locals as much as possible. Biggest rant on this.... I can get local milk delivered!!!!!!

You will only upset someone or everyone (and every variation in-between) by trying to explain it. With the best, thats a good bit of PR, though I would say the Bedford team, theres, like, you know, 13 blokes who can get together at the weekend to have a game together, which doesnt point to expansion of the game.

In literary terms it's like a cross between 1984 and Alice in Wonderland. But surely tis a wondrous place, where concepts that might seem laughable to a rational human are actually taught in universities and relied upon to make laws and Govt policy. Here are two magical examples: - Because of the magical properties of "Male Privilege" a 20-year-old Scouser on the dole actually wields more political power than Teresa May, because she's a woman. - There's a wonderful clip doing the rounds on YT of the Cape Town Uni student who posits that Newton's Laws are not suitable for African Universities because he was white (and European and male and a colonialist) and hence his ideas aren't culturally appropriate. Yep, that's right! There's no gravity in Africa. The other funny part about that video is when one of the other students laughs he is told he is being disrespectful and is asked to leave. Now I don't understand how a black student can be micro-aggressing anyone since, being black, he has automatic, irrevocable victim status but I'm sure Franchesca Ramsey can explain it. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I could be very easily convinced that the whole idea of Identity Politics was to splinter and dissipate the Left. Most of it is so moronic that it supplies Fox News and other outlets with an endless supply of idiotic straw men (or straw persons, or maybe even straw entities) to denounce as "the Left." Then throw in the term cultural Marxism and the job is complete.

Hope that's cleared it up for you. Funny thing just happened: I was looking for an example so I googled "heteronormative patriarchy" and it said "do you mean white heteronormative patriarchy?" You know, I guess I do mean that. Here goes: You know how, if you are a white straight male you always get every job you ever apply for and, if you only ask for $1 million/year, they'll say "No, no, you're a man so we'll give you $2 million!" That's Patriarchy at work. Earlier I mentioned a hypothetical Northern dole ####, who happens to be male, hetero and white, let's call him Keef Mersey. Let's say Keef, who dropped out of high school at 14 because it was interrupting his drinking schedule, decides now, at 20, that he wants to be an engineer. He just rings a major construction company and tells them to get rid of a female engineer, or a brown- or black or Chinese engineer or a gay engineer so they can give him the job. The company will immediately do it because they recognise his white, male, hetero privilege. Because Patriarchy. Another advantage Keef has is that he can rape and murder women at will and he will never be charged or convicted of anything. In fact, since the victims were women, the cops won't even investigate and will just chalk it up to rough sex followed by suicide. With his new job, Keef can get married and keep his wife chained to the kitchen sink. He's allowed to beat her, starve her and rape her whenever he feels like it. When he's sick of her, he can divorce her and the judge will give him everything and tell the woman to get on her bike and just be grateful she's lived this long. Because Patriarchy. By now, at the age of 25, Keef is eligible to be promoted to CEO of a Fortune 500 company despite having no relevant qualifications and never bothering to turn up to his previous job, because white, heteronormative patriarchy demands that every white male - except gays - has a natural right to be rich, lazy, stupid and powerful. Now you might think, "That's BS!!!" but you'd be wrong. You would be demonstrating that you are a mysoginistic, wife-beating, privileged, transphobic, homophobic, xenophobic, Islamophobic tool of the Patriarchy, using your privilege to continue the oppression of .... well, just everybody except white men. You are probably also a Nazi. I think that covers most of it. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
