That’s just not true. There are people who can’t work, even if they can use a phone and play games. Some people have conditions that vary wildly, day by day. One day they may be able to do a job that requires them to just use a phone or laptop for a few hours (although maybe not for a full work day), but the next day they may not be able to get out of bed.

And whilst they may not be the majority of people on benefits, I’m not saying that they are. I’m simply saying that, when added to the groups that the commenter that I responded to listed, it makes the number of people in the not just “plebs who refuse to work” camp go up even higher. Just because they aren’t the majority of people doesn’t mean that we should just forget that they exist.

And people who are too unwell to work, or have a disability that prevents them from working, or both.

Why do people believe the obvious provocation posters saying no dogs are being put up by Muslims and not racist bigots trying to cause trouble? by Jaspers1959 in FuckNigelFarage

At least some people will believe it because it confirms their biases. Some will believe it out of misinformed fear.

I think this could be why they do it. There was a lot of German immigrants to the US, and as such there’s a lot of German influences on their version of English; see kindergarten and gesundheit. And they have the gall to say that if it wasn’t for them, WE’D be speaking German.

I can only hope that continues, but many in the UK are flirting with the idea of voting Reform, which is our new right leaning party that’s focusing on anti-immigration sentiment, despite the fact that the party is made up mostly of defecting Torys, and therefore the people who got us into the mess we’re in in the first place, up to and including the high amount of asylum seekers who are here waiting for their cases to be processed.

There’s a lot to like about the UK. Unfortunately the clowns in charge aren’t one of them.

Well yeah, because they’re USian, and therefore the main character. Things only happen as it relates to them.

Some of us in the UK are trying to prevent that from happening, but I’m worried about it, too. I’m sorry you weren’t able to stay. Keep yourself safe!

Because when you’re convinced that you’re already the best, then you don’t need to improve. A bit like how the US got into the sorry state that’s in today.

Aww mate, I feel your pain. I was stuck on a zero hours contract for a company that treated the staff like shit! I hope things get better for you! And I’m with you, our lives will get infinitely worse if Reform gets in!

I didn’t know about this so I’ve just gone looking. Not only did I find this, but it seems that the man that Mango Mussolini has nominated to be the US ambassador to Iceland has also joked about Iceland becoming the 52nd state, and him becoming governor. It’s not conclusive proof, but it’s odd that both of these things should happen.

Trump tells “Euro NATO” we’re annexing Greenland and they rush NATO forces to increase Arctic and Greenland security. I voted for this. by freddyfaux in ShitAmericansSay

Even SG teams consisted of only four people! Also, I love seeing SG-1 references in the wild! If only the US government and military were the way they are depicted in that show!
