Young people writing "poems" about how they'd like to wipe out "the scallies". I explain.
I hate this country. One thing in particular is the way that it's pretty much accepted, in a jocular, "oh, young people, lol" sort of way, that everyone who is a teenager or student gets pissed and takes drugs and shags around as long as they are middle-class. It's laughed about in the Times and on the BBC. Oh the memories etc.
Anything lower, mind, and you're scum if you so much as try and smoke a ciggy for a laugh. And now I have to deal with a bunch of supposedly lefty, or at least vaguely intelligent, students recycling this crappy ideology and they're supposed to be my workmates and I find myself falling out with them.
I try to explain it in terms like this:
Isn't it obviously wrong? Toby and Veronica get "sexual awakening" and an experience of "the wider world", whereas Baz and Shaz are "a threat" to our "society". Yet, they're all doing the same sodding thing. One rule for the rulers and another for the ruled.
And they don't listen. Oh man, the chavs, man, oh man, they get pregnant and stuff. Oh! OH! AND ONCE THEY BEAT ME UP! I WAS TRAUMATISED!
Me: Maybe if you're brought up with a violent dad, violence is the only language you learn? And hating on these guys isn't going to stop them beating you up, surely?
OH MAN YOU'RE LIKE SOME KIND OF HIPPY OR SOMETHING. THAT'S LIKE COMMUNISM OR SOMETHING. I SUPPOSE YOU WANT TO PUT PEOPLE IN GULAGS BECAUSE MY DAD SAYS SO.
And when I get apoplectic about this it's all "Hey, man, chill out, man, like Jack Kerouac, man. Let's not fight." Which they say, WHILST CARRYING VIEWS THAT ARE PART AND PARCEL OF AN INHERENTLY VIOLENT SYSTEM BASED AROUND DIVISIONS AND FENCES AND BOUNDARIES.
Because let's not forget: if they're arguing for something, it's a reasonable debate. If someone else is arguing against them, that person is causing trouble.
FOOKERS!
Oh and also let's not forget mister The Fake Anime Buddhist. "Why get pissed off about Lebanon or police brutality? It's all a drop in the ocean dooyousee? Because history moves in an Endless Waltz." Ah, right. I'm sure you'd be saying that if it was your family. Stop watching right-wing cartoons and read something. No, not Lord of the sodding Rings...Hey, I know, it'll be easier to just put your head in this washing machine. Yeah mate, total trip, that. There we go. Nice and spinny. (Click, hum hum hum hum)Wee! There's your Endless Waltz right there, dickface!
Another guy said, of this new law to make it illegal to view violent porn, that they would see all literature banned if it saved just one life. Whatever you think about the law- how the HELL could you think that BANNING BOOKS might lead to SAVING A LIFE? |
