OT - Donald Trump's Big Red 'Button'

[drillerpie]

This isn't the beginning of a bi-partisan circle jerk is it?

Ahah! If it does we'll have Tarkers on our backs, so to speak.

No no, don't apologise. To be honest I'm already quite impressed that you've started to judge a person's intelligence from their vocabulary, and not by other criteria like nobbing lots of women back in the good old days, being old, or...ah no actually being old still is one isn't it?

Anyway getting back to our original exchange, I'd be interested to hear your thoughts on the share of governments' tax incomes being paid by low earners since neoliberal economics came to the fore.

No problem boy, I say it as it is. Firstly " Nobbing women " - very poor use of words and shows inexperience of same. The verb 'Shag' is the operative word to use without using the crude 'F' word. Being old is still pretty good actually and I've made it .... you've still to get there no doubt.

"Neoliberal Economics" ffs ... I haven't a clue what you're on about. Probably makes for interesting discussion amongst the half pint
academics of today who are skint. I'm a simple country boy Driller who was given the chance to sell things and was lucky to succeed.
Likewise I've been a simpleton for the past 70 years following the 'Pies from early childhood - but that's leisure.

So sorry son, I can't answer your question because I have no opinion on something I'm not interested in. To me, you work hard .. you make good money and you pay the required tax. No problem, no frills. If you can't make money with one outfit, you move on. You only make money in three ways. (1) You earn it (2) you steal it (3) You win or inherit it. That's the way it is young man whether you like it or not. Some will win some will lose in life.

On a slight slant I'm looking at a book I've just got out the cabinet but not read. It's a 6th edition of "The American Civilisation - an Introduction". The book was given to me by one of the co authors who is also the author of "British Civilization" now in it's 7th edition. This guy was in my class at school and I met him again after many years, last year. This bloke is a true academic and naturally LW in his views, always wanting to make the world a more caring place but does sod all to help - only whinge about the unfairness of the world. The guy's obviously very clever (Sid may know him !!) as he's formerly an Associate Professor in English at the Norwegian University of Science and Technology. So my point once again Driller is this. The world is full of failed academics who simply talk and do nothing. The ordinary guy with enough guts and perseverance to make good will prosper - but I doubt you'll understand.

And despite saying that, you still don't see a problem with the Tories!

[seriouspie]

What’s your problem with people’s ages and your arrogance ie being more experienced and intelligent

Don't get 'Touchy' youth. No arrogance in what I said. I'm a self confessed ignoramus by the way but certainly more experienced in life I would suggest.

That's a fascinating insight into the man behind the legend that is Serious Pie, and it's not easy to call people stupid on every other post and then admit you don't know much yourself, but I think you pulled it off.

I'm feeling so inspired I might change career and start earning money by persuading people to pay for things they don't want or need. Maybe one day I too will be able to afford a wife who pretends to love me in public in exchange for money?

Not at all - the same principle would apply in my case whosoever was in power. Is the statement true or false?

[JoePass]

Fake news.

From Momentum it is.....
