First World Problems
Onemunki says: We live in a world of genuine tragedy, starvation and terror. So, after hearing stories of cruise line passengers complaining at the air conditioning breaking down, what stories of sheer single-minded self-pity get your goat?

I see parents hitting their kids.
They usually wear velure track suits with "sexy bitch" in gaudy text stretched over their fat arses. The kids tend to be sucking on a sausage roll or supping irn-bru while the parents screech the poor unfortunate child's name at them before braying them.
"KEYAN!! KEYAN!!! STOP IT YA WEE PRICK"
"SHAZNAY!! SHAZNAY!!! SHUT IT YA FUCKING STUPID BITCH!!"
yup, this is exactly the parenting advice I should be listening to.

...and if they stopped hitting their kids, they'd be model parents?
I really can't be arsed to argue though. It's one of those circular arguements:
A: I think xxx, here's a why: rhubarb rhubarb, reasonable arguement
B: I disagree, because (presents opinions whether they correspond to the first arguements or not)
A: Did you read what I said/even more vague opinions, descending in quality as they go
B: See A above, with side order of (stereotype containing only a small % fact) is my evidence
A: Well, (faintly ridiculous stereotype containing similar % fact) supports my arguement
Repeat with increasingly sillier "examples", until:
A/B: You Grauniad reading, liberal wishy washy left wing loonie, wearing sandals, wanking into the communist manifesto
B/A: You daily heil reading, physcopathic nazi child beating fox hunting tory bumming.......
I used to like debating, but the internet has ruined it. Seems to be no room for "you have a point, but..." or "OK, I see where you're coming from but...". Just an endless, depressing round of the above, whilst anyone with any real power fills their pockets, and in doing so masnages to make everyones worst nightmares come true.
Edited to be nearer what I meant to say, I got depressed half way through the first time

Funny........
where I live those are the ones with the kids that need it. Shopping trolley full of coke & chips, feral kids all over the place, screeching "Brittttneeeeeeeey,you little shit, I told you, I'll get you a coke, just put that down". Always threats with no action except a reward for shit behaviour.
