When Islam takes over it will be a relief

[Eric Cartman]

He defended himself very well, but he can't survive. Once these fanatics smell blood they will attack until you are sacked or dead. It wasn't so long ago when same sex marriage would not have been thought possible. How far are things going to go? I predict that before the Muslims take over you will be able to marry your pet, your parent and even your clone.

Still hope for us on the politics forum then.

That's funny. Eric, you are a bit soft headed but at least you have a sense of humour which is something these fanatics lack.

[BlueWales]

Dear me. Go seek help.

Dai, you veer between episodes of lucidity and senility. It's little wonder matron becomes frustrated with your antics.

The moral compass that most lived by when I was a kid in the 1970s has largely disappeared. These days and for many years prior we have had a popular culture that consists of vulgarity and precious little else. The constant need for idle amusement which is satisfied by gazing at a screen of some description has become a necessity for so many.

Ah yes, the glory days of rampant sexism, homophobia and racism.

The moral compass of all those baby boomers that bled the country dry...

Pull out a chair for a women and that'll make up for her never having a chance of a career.

Where did we go wrong...

[LordKenwyne]

But I'll agree on the gazing screen part. I have no idea how recent media will affect the generations growing up.

14 year olds watching videos of beheadings in syria etc. It cannot be good.

When Islam takes over it will be the same, as some will always judge,hate and kill someone.

Up until I was 12 in 1974 I attended a church or chapel every Sunday, so did all my pals. I wasn't religious at all, nor were my parents. It was just something we did as that's how it was. My parents had ordinary blue collar jobs, ditto everyone else's father, though far fewer women worked then, and every one of them had a mother and father who were married. These days most kids are born out of wedlock. Aside from a tiny few who occasionally smoked funny fags, drug taking was unknown and so was home burglaries. That was Treforest, not leafy suburbia.

Less women worked because of cultural reasons and homes cost circa 3 times a typical annual wage instead of times 8 today so they didn't need to work to purchase a home, again unlike today. As a direct consequence far more infants were nurtured by their mother instead of others because they cannot afford not to work. It's fabulous for the money lenders as they rake in much more interest on mortgage loans for money they don't actually have (read up on Fractional Reserve Banking to learn how the scam works). And when they cock-up, the state's there to bail them out, plus they're exempt from the Theft Act; they get a corporate fine when done for manipulating LIBOR rates and laundering billions of criminal proceeds while Mr or Mrs Nobody is pursued relentlessly for laundering peanuts.

Casual sexism, homophobia and racism (I'd define it as culturalism) were openly ubiquitous then, I agree.

Am not sure what you mean re boomers bleeding the country dry. Without checking, I'm sure the State Pension here is far less generous than Germany and France.

As I read that I could hear the largo from Dvorak's New World Symphony and I could see a boy pushing a bike up a cobbled hill. It brought a tear to my eye. A tear of laughter because you never set foot in Treforest. You were a spoilt rich kid from Cowbridge. You looked just like Little Lord Fauntleroy with your top hat, frills and spats. I, on the other hand, really did spend some time in Treforest - in the hospital suffering from something that would be hard to believe today.

Christ, we wouldn't want them to miss out on a career would we.

Organ if your moral compass was set in the 1970s then that explains your sexual depravity and your ludicrous dress sense. In the 1970s we had paedophiles and their apologists like Harriet Harman running riot. That's when the wheels really fell off but they had started wobbling in the mid to late 60s. Your sentence about "the constant need for idle amusement" reminded me of Alan Durban when he said if football fans want entertainment they should go to a circus. He was talking about the complaints of Stoke and Arsenal fans but, of course, we, as Cardiff fans, had no such expectation.
