It may, or may not, be tied to a harpoon however.

When she was talking about pulling me out I was desperately looking for a Kenneth Williams gif but it would probably have been wasted on her.

It's not the wealth part I mind so much. Being wealthy doesn't necessarily mean you lose all empathy, but it makes it harder and requires you to make more of an effort to be informed. It can also lead to the 'I'm Alright, Jack' mentality, which we see in this thread, where people don't care about others and impute the worst possible motives simply because they are comfortable themselves.

The worst part of the wealth mentality is that it leads people to kick the ladder away as they rise up. In this country we are ruled by a strata of lawyers and policy wonks who have a very narrow view of the world. It used to be different when working class men like Ernie Bevin would reach high office and they would advocate for the less-privileged. It's not just politics, even the acting profession is filled with the privately educated who have crowded out the working class. We have Thatcher to thank for that, who eroded the post war economic settlement so much that only the wealthy have a chance to succeed now.

Being very wealthy is something I don't get that exercised about, I'm talking about the super-rich who exert disproportionate influence through control of the media and political donations. I don't care if someone knows what a pint of milk costs, but I do care if they use their bully pulpit to preach for neo-liberalism or the next war that their arms company stands to profit by. Most of the people on the internet who have any following, like Shapiro or Owens, are funded by right wing activists.

It's not about crushing the wealthy, it's about making them pay a fair share, but all they seem to be interested in is abolishing the minimum wage and bringing in a flat tax. At least in the old days, the landowner felt a responsibility towards the serfs, these days we don't even get that.

A Brit waxing nostalgic for the good old days of serfdom. Yes, I bet the landowners were just swell fellas back then. ;D

It never ceases to amaze me how you consistently fail to comprehend what someone has posted.  I could take the time to explain that isn't what SV did say but I don't have the patience and you don't have the comprehension.

So, you don’t see a totalitarian communist state like China as the greatest danger to the modern world? You really think it’s Russia?

Afraid not. He just sent a bigger missile and had it splashdown just off their coast as a warning. It’s go time if he wants it. ;)

Oh? When did this happen? So far Kim has had launched a few into the Sea of Japan in recent days, capable of reaching Japan and SK where lots of US military personnel are based.

MOSAD are pretty much the most ruthless and professional hit squad on the planet. If they screwed up so catastrophically they'd be facing more than an extra circumcision.

Right you are.  Let's send Jimmy Carter and Bill Clinton back over there to sort things out.  Maybe Obama could join them so they could form a trio to sing "Kum ba yah" and "I'm Sorry" to Kim and ask him to accept some more of our nuclear technology.

*Harumph*  Easy, Mad Dog.  The missile was a Trident II D5 launched from the USS Rhode Island submerged off the east coast of Florida and it splashed down no where near N.K.  It was a planned missile test that was preannounced.  Stop listening to Alex Fucking Jones.  *Harumph*

Jimmy Carter. Or 'junior', as you prefer to call him.

Whowuddaguessed...Trump is a fucking moron...

QuoteOne of Donald Trump's top economic advisers has acknowledged the president was wrong to suggest that China would pay tariffs on its exports to the US.

Larry Kudlow, who heads the National Economic Council, accepted it was US businesses that paid the import tax.

He told Fox News that he believed "both sides will suffer" from the escalating trade dispute.

On Friday Mr Trump tweeted that tariffs on $250bn of goods coming into the US were being paid "by China".

That'll be another staffer out on his ear in the not too distant future.
