Hmm, not sure about that
I recently bought a TV bracket that had a multi-page multi-language legal document and a single very ambiguous pictorial assembly photocopy. Due to the "no expense spared" legal approach, I was in no doubt that there would be no recompense for the trial and error involved putting the thing together. That was the only thing made clear to me.

Everyone seems afraid to post new threads these days
I think it's the effect of too many years of Nazis shouting "THREADRUSH" and "BOARD FUCKING ETIQUETTE". Me, I was going to post an amazingly annoying and amateurish Freebase this morning but real work got in the way and I never finished it. It was shit anyway.
I've noticed an increasing level of arse'y-ness about here of late. The couple of people I spoke to take the attitude "it's only a bit of banter, and if they can't take it they shouldn't be here...."
Which strikes me as a touch unfluffy.

I reserve the insults and banter for people who've been here a long time and hopefully know my sense of humour
because anyone stupid enough to stay posting on b3ta for five fucking YEARS deserves whatever they get. Fucking morons. GO AND DO SOME PROPER WORK YOU GOD DAMN HIPPIES.
Edit: Good God. I'd have sworn that I've not been on B3ta as long as chutney. Turns out I was wrong.
I've no problem with banter, but I think even regulars are posting fewer new threads. There's still plenty of stuff going into the threads that are there but I've noticed more new pictures in old threads than before. Maybe it's just me noticing it and it's always gone on, but maybe not.
I've been mainly photoshopping story covers recently, and even those I don't have the time to photoshop properly. Although since I use Gimp I should probably say I don't have time to gimp them properly.
I'd say the situation is not really comparable with slavery.

Sorry, I think the comparison is fatuous. I'm in South Carolina at the moment and, having toured a rice plantation yesterday, I'd say the slaves were worse off than the poorest in the UK at present.

If you really think that the current coalition government is to blame for the current state of affairs regarding unemployment or the rich/poor divide, please gaz me with your reasoning as it seems to me that the inherent issues that have resulted in the current state of affairs (regarding employment and wealth distribution) are all hangovers from the previous government and cannot be rectified immediately with some magic wand by the coalition within one year during a global financial crisis (not least due to the massive overspending by the previous government which led the current administration to take power in a situation of already massive debt and impending financial meltdown).

because this is b3ta
But no, I don't think they magicked up all these problems in the last few months at all. I think the majority of the problem (financial) they set in motion in the 80s with letting the banks get ahead of themselves and encouraging everyone to buy houses and things that they could never afford.

B3ta is not a place I expect to see political propaganda that contains no actual joke but instead just unfounded accusations. I have nothing against your picture but was surprised it was FP'd.
I don't understand your reply. I didn't suggest that they magicked these problems up, more that they existed and that the inability to magic them away cannot be held against the tories. Also I don't understand what you find wrong about encouraging house ownership Don't you think people should aspire to own property and assets? Do you want your children to own homes? And what of the years of labour rule? Do you think that the tories fucked it all up before, then labour came in and did nothing wrong, and now the evil tories are ruining it all again? What about labour selling off our assets and gold, borrowing left right and center, increasing the civil service into a huge unsustainable bloated mass (in order to decrease unemployment by employing them directly by the state) and encouraging mass immigration at a huge rate which resulted in a figure of something like 97% of new jobs created in london being filled by immigrants since 2007?
I'm just saying, they took over the country in an awful state and blaming something like unemployment or the wealth divide on them is as hypocritical as it is pointless. They have done plenty to make fun of without pandering to cliches and lies.

and apologies if I snapped at you. Again my rant wasn't so much at your picture as it was at backing up the sentiment using rabble-rousing statements out of context. Don't wanna seem OTT but in my defense I did suggest gazzing me for debate rather than carrying on here.
Anyway obviously I know this is just b3ta and I don't take any of this seriously, but if some people are gonna yell "bunch of cunts" then it can't hurt to hear the other side.

The satire has usually been shit
BBD'O is rarely funny, Happytoast with very few exceptions is great though. But it's getting worse and worse. I've become really quite sad at the way b3ta has changed from a fun, fluffy way to spend some time to what we have now. The dinosaurs compo was a nice change though and reminded me of how much of a nice place it used to be.
B3ta has always done current affairs, but generally it's done them in a way that everybody has accepted is wrong, but funny. The political stuff isn't funny, it's just hatred.
Also, to adress the point about "letting the banks go mad", Banks are private businesses and should be treated with the same rules as any other. They should be Neither overegulated, as in socialism , nor bailed out, as in corporatism, when the consequences of their actions hit them.

I used to regularly commission a journalist in Dublin, who was slagging off Bono.
When I joined in, she gave me a right bollocking. "That's Saint Bono to you, English boy" she told me. Aparrently slagging Bono is like the World Series - it's a national sport that no one else is allowed to participate in.

Bit of a mistranslation
He actually Lidled while Rome burned - he nipped down to the local Lidl shop to get some cheap German chocolate and other fine produce.
His successor, Galba, was much more of an Aldi fan - but only lasted 7 months in power before being executed. Emperor Constantine, however, was very much a Waitrose shopper. He loved their own-brand bourbon cream biscuits.
