injustice
i am going to a talk by women who are part of the arab spring. it looks most interesting. however, that's a bit serious for this part of the world. sooooo tell us about those unfair things in life, big or small, that STILL get to you. the pettier the better.

i am still bitter that my younger brother got to go to bed at the same time as me. what is the point in being older?

alt: lunch, of course. cuban bean soup from EAT or a trip up the lebanese??

if you don't like one policy of the major parties, don't vote for them if you feel that one policy is suitably important. Vote for a tiny little party, or don't vote if you feel that's your only alternative, but the system is as it is, and since, thanks to those cunts currently in power, we now have no chance of ever changing the voting system in our lifetime, you can either accept it or leave.

This is, in reality what I do (either vote for minor parties with no hope in hell or spoil my ballot) but it seems odd to say "this is how it is, accept it or leave" in a notionally democratic system.

Athens didn't do too badly, lost a little but has the slight disadvatage of being Greece, and thus being infinitely more of a corrupt fuck up then we are. Beijing is difficult to call because the info is unlikely to be true.

Most of the olympics before Sydney made a loss but aren't really fair comparison as the commercial aspect is at a different level these days.

There's a 3 exit roundabout on one of my routes home
where 90% of the time the traffic from my right doesn't indicate at all. I NEED TO KNOW IF YOU'RE GOING DOWN THIS ROAD OR THE NEXT ONE IN ORDER TO PULL OUT YOU SPASTICS.

chorizo, honey roast ham, tomato, red pepper, red onion and baby-leaf spinach. And Salt and Vinegar Kettle crisps.

Men are often portrayed as idiots, incapable of of the simnplest tasks or struck down by the smallest illness
If the adverts were potraying women in this way there would be uproar.

Yes but it makes women feel superior thus making them happy to buy their products.

(, Tue 13 Dec 2011, 12:56, Reply)
I strongly dislike that trend. He's right, men have been portrayed as neanderthals in advertising the last few years.
Because apparently the only way for women to be portrayed as strong characters is to make men weaker by comparison. Which is pretty fucking sexist against women, actually.
