What we have learnt in the last few weeks


That you've got the political nous of a six year old ?

Quite obviously, the proportion of your adult life you've spent either
under sedation, or in conditions of complete isolation, is far greater
than even your harshest critics on this group could have imagined.

I've noticed a percentage of people start suggesting mental illness when their child-like notions of the world are challenged by hard realities.

To be perfectly frank with you, there's no bigger "child-like
notion", than for a person to believe they can seek to impose
their own values on complete strangers on UseNet; let alone
that anybody would take a blind bit of notice of them.

They'd simply be told, by the less polite posters at
least, to "stick their advice where the sun doesn't shine".

That's the "hard reality" in this instance, I'm afraid.

What you need to appreciate is that there may be
impressionable newcomers to this Group, as perhaps
you were at one stage yourself, or maybe still are,
impressionable that is, who when they read someone
styling himself "The Natural Philosopher" post the
following manifesto

quote

"The only statement that rings true, is that our current
political classes and institutions, are completely unfit
for purpose.

We've kicked one load of donkeys in the nuts.

WE now have to find someone in the UK who actually knows
how to do the hard work involved in actually governing a
country, rather than just winning elections and playing
the PR game."

/quote

may be led to believe that he's actually serious, and may be
persuaded to start revolting themselves. They may even seek
to adopt him as their Leader. He may even be attempting to
grow a moustache, as we speak.

When in the UK right now we've got more than enough revolting
people as it is; as the fiasco of two weeks ago, proves.

Someone like Tony Blair you mean?
Or Margaret Thatcher?
Because we want stupid, selfish, senseless, greedy people to spend there last years contemplating eveything they accomplished with deep regret.

I somewhat agree, though people do take notice when the arguments look good. And let's get real, no-one is imposing here, they're merely stating.

of course. At least here some of the leftybull gets challenged.

all that section proves is you disagree with TNP and are willing to be silly. So what. As you pretty much said yourself.

TNP is as imperfect as anyone, but at least has some idea about how politics works. Why don't you try posting something similarly useful.
