Yh, not like it’s her job to parent the child, that’s the government’s responsibility!
- Comment on Posting the shopping cart theory because people had questions in a separate thread 2 weeks ago:
No, I want to argue the point that you think it’s a job worth creating, but that I also get the impression that it’s a job you wouldn’t want to be doing yourself.
But I also get the impression that engaging you in debate is going to be a waste of my time.

If we did, we would do something about it."
Like building conveniently place cart returns with “please return your cart” written on them?
- Comment on Posting the shopping cart theory because people had questions in a separate thread 2 weeks ago:
I’m not asking if you return your cart, I’m asking if you’re employed to return the carts of other people.

I also have an emergency that I need to get to NOW!
- Comment on Posting the shopping cart theory because people had questions in a separate thread 2 weeks ago:
If they’re so tired after walking around the shop and walking back to their car that they can’t do that tiny bit more and return the cart to the corral, maybe they should be seeing a doctor and if they are eligible for disability (sounds like a severe case of lazybonesitis) and use a handicapped spot. Or you know, stop being so fucking lazy and making excuses.

If you piss on the toilet seat, do you clean it up (free labour as you call it) or hire a cleaner?

Are you a trolley returning person on minimum wage, or are you just saying it’s a good job for someone else?
- Comment on Posting the shopping cart theory because people had questions in a separate thread 2 weeks ago:
Imagine living in a country where someone might threaten to kill you because you told them they are lazy.

He fucking hilarious and you’re a suspected lazybones.
- Comment on Posting the shopping cart theory because people had questions in a separate thread 2 weeks ago:
You can’t think of a job more productive than cleaning up after lazy cunts?

We should hire someone to wipe are arses for us too!

They’ve started doing it in some places in America with quarters and it works. Turns out the price of laziness is 25¢ haha.

It doesn’t make you an animal or a savage, it makes you at best willfully ignorant.
If your mother taught you that 2+2=3 but later in life ample evidence shows you that 2+2=4, do you change you mind or still insist that your mother knew best?
Your mother’s mindset is called “lowest common denominator”, someone else doing something wrong doesn’t make it OK for you to do.
- Comment on Next shop workers win equal pay claim - BBC News 4 weeks ago:
Yh, I feel like there’s more to this case than the article is letting on.
- Comment on Next shop workers win equal pay claim - BBC News 4 weeks ago:
Interesting. I think it’s also worth noting that in this case that the warehouse job roles were not male dominated as bin men are. Usually equal pay is to ensure that men and women are paid equally for equal work but the warehouse employees were close to 50/50 men and women.
- Comment on Next shop workers win equal pay claim - BBC News 4 weeks ago:
Correct me if I’m wrong but my understanding is that equal pay needs to be for the same job. In this case the argument seems to be that the jobs are not the same, but that they are similar, it seems to be a grey area to me. Presumably any of the women in the shop front could have asked for a transfer to the warehouse.
- Comment on Anon defends Michael Jackson 4 weeks ago:
Aye. Some people will be of the view that being fascinated with young boys is strange at best, other people will make excuses and say that it’s very unlikely that anything untowards went on anyway.
- Comment on Anon defends Michael Jackson 4 weeks ago:
Macaulay Culkin saying that nothing happened to him doesn’t mean nothing happend with any other of the young boys.
- Comment on Anon defends Michael Jackson 4 weeks ago:
I don’t believe that you watched both parts of that documentary and still thought that nothing untowards was going on.
- Comment on Anon defends Michael Jackson 4 weeks ago:
At the end of the day, we’ll probably never know and many people argue that he should get the benefit of the doubt unless proven otherwise.
I think not only was his childhood was repressed, but also his sexual development and I’d be absolutely unsurprised to find that his attraction to young boys was partly, at least some of the time, sexual.
- Comment on Anon defends Michael Jackson 4 weeks ago:
I agree that his upbringing is an extenuating circumstance and I do believe that caused him to be repressed in many ways, that doesn’t mean he didn’t act out some fantasies that he had with young boys.
“Sick” is a term that’s open to interpretation, some would say that the things he was accused of are sick, others would interpret that he was mentally unwell. I would say it’s a bit of both.
- Comment on Anon defends Michael Jackson 4 weeks ago:
It’s an odd case. Whilst most agree that he wasn’t a full blown child rapist, it’s clear that he had an interest in young boys that went further than just fantasy, but people choose to ignore it because “JuSt BeAt It ThO!!!”.
You can appreciate art whilst knowing that the artist was sick.

I watched this not just with an open mind, but like many others here, with the mind that people were colluding to extortionate money from Jackson. This completely changed my mind.
I mean, I get it. If one of my favourite artists was accused of being a pedo, I’d defend them and say the claims can’t be proven etc. In this case, I think it’s safe to say that whilst he wasn’t a full blown child rapist, that he clearly had an attraction to young boys.
- Comment on Anon defends Michael Jackson 4 weeks ago:
Anyone who thinks Jackson wasn’t a pedophile is willfully blind.
Being a great artist doesn’t stop you from being a very sick man. His upbringing certainly is an extenuating circumstance, but it doesn’t change the nature of his relationships with young boys.

It’s worked for me but with a couple layers of insulation tape rather than a rubber band.
- Comment on U.K. might follow Europe in fining employers who message staff after-hours 5 weeks ago:
I do. Your own time is your own time. I don’t want to be going to work the next day to be asked first thing what I’m doing about all the emails I was sent last night. Thinking about or reading about work is still work.
- Comment on Anon goes to the gym 5 weeks ago:
To be fair, I never said three vaccines makes COVID zero risk, the implication was that you shouldn’t be worried about COVID unless you’re seriously frail or elderly.
I’m not precious about the precautions that other people would like to take and I respect the wishes of people that do want to take their own further precautions, it’s a free country.
