@Moravian I am aware of that, which is why I did not mention infidelity. Wife beating, however, is another matter. My first wife beat the living shit out of me for five years. However, she made it quite clear that had I ever raised a hand against her to protect myself or, god forbid, removed myself from the situation, she would have no hesitation in calling the cops on me after she had “justifiably” crippled me for life for being a rude wimp. In spite of the fact that she was a foot taller than me and seven stone heavier and a martial artist, the rules on spousal abuse are socially quite clear and one-sided. If a woman does it, it is freaking hilarious and well deserved, because after all men are guilty of something and the woman is always the victim, I mean how dare I attack her foot with my bollocks.

@altschmerz Sadly to the rest of the world the US does appear to be a largely violent, angry and combative society, all to ready to use the last resort as a first response. As for the mask thing, here we have a track and trace QR code at the entrance to every place of business, which has to be scanned as you enter. Along with a warning that should you choose not to wear a mask or face covering inside and are caught on CCTV doing so, you thereby abnegate the business from all liability. You are further informed you will be contacted by the authorities or are likely to be a sent a statutory fine. When faced with this, but no confrontation with a person most either wear a face covering, go away or get fined. Stores that insist on face covering, usually offer people the option of using a scarf rather than a mask, and this suffices to let them think they have won, and proceed with a smug sense of self-righteousness.

No, a Plimsoll is not a sneaker, they are horrible blister making, dirt cheap canvas and elastic topped gym shoes with latex soles glued on to them. They are uncomfortable, smelly, invariably dyed with black dye that comes off on your socks and feet. Plimsolls have for years been mandated upon in primary schools for indoor PE lessons. Furthermore, they are called Plimsolls because they have a latex band that separates the two parts, resembling the Plimsoll line of a ship. (Plimsoll is actually a Dutch name that translates as Sun grown Plum) The Plimsoll line, and by extension the shoe, is named after Doctor Samuel Plimsoll who invented it.

@AnonySchmoose Fine idealism. Unfortunately, in real life every one of those measures would be contested by industry, by unions, by people fearing for their livelihoods and by politicians fearing for their votes. It would be hindered by compromise, outright rejection and the demand that “another way” be found. Another way that would face the same round of objections. There is only one solution, and it is horrible. If the human race is to survive, there has to be an 80% reduction of the human race. There has to be a rebalance between supply and demand. It could have been avoided, had we listened to those with foresight in the last century, but we did not. “Live for today and let the 'Devil' take tomorrow” Well the devil is taking his due, the horsemen have ridden out, we have plague, we have war, we have famine, and we have death. And the great irony is that they are all of us, the only thing that will save us as a species is an unstoppable culling of our own making.

They were all suppressed (how else do you think electric car manufactures suddenly made the technological leap forward when they HAD to, because the oil is running out?). 10 Years ago, an Indian scientist patented a compressed air engine car, completely clean. Where is it now? Like all the others I mentioned they were bought up by the fossil fuel industry and suppressed, so they could carry on selling their filthy world killing products, until such time as they had extracted the maximum amount of profit.

@AnonySchmoose Not for the individual sane person, but for a society run by Republicans in the US and Conservatives in the UK, the capitalist economy will always mean more than lives lost. WWII was a purging of a worldwide recession, millions died and population was brought under control. If you don't believe me, look at Britain and the US reactions to the COVID-19 crisis. Two of the worst in the world, with our prime minister being caught saying that he does not care if “Bodies are piled high in the streets” so long as the shops open and the economy recovers. Yet he stays in power, and Trumps advocating the drinking of Bleach, and Biden's “solutions” being less ridiculous but not really any better. People are an infinitely renewable resource. They will go along with the idea that some have to die, so the price of beer will not go up, so long as you can convince them that those people will of course be someone else, not them.

@altschmerz The trick is to recognise when things are being directed personally against you, at which point it is unwise not to admit to it and deal with it appropriately.

You need not confront every jab or jibe someone makes to you, but what they say about you can destroy your life, this is why we have libel and slander laws. You have a right to your own dignity, there is nothing admirable in “turning the other cheek” when you recognise there is no good reason or right for them ever hitting you in the first place.

LenHazell53 replies on Aug 8, 2021:

The Characters do not appear in the Pugwash books, but were smuggled in to the BBC TV adaptations of the stories to piss off the then BBC director general sir Hugh Carleton-Greene. The original writer John Ryan famously sued over the claim. However, since then various clips from all three version of Pugwash (1957, 1974, 1998) have emerged. “Accidental” mispronunciations of “Master Mates” and “Seaman Willie Stains” have emerged on tapes. Even a misnaming of Tom The Cabin boy as Roger the Cabin boy (not much difference in regional English slang there anyway between the verbs to Tom and to Roger) have been shown to be in at least one episode. Oddly, not many people actually caught on to the fact that to have one's pug washed in was in 16th century British naval slang for receiving F on M or M on M oral sex. A pugwash being the act itself.

Their choice is a free choice to be a tacit advocate of monsters and that makes them an accessory before during and after the fact.

@Marionville The point with what today are seen as non Pc Comedies is that they actually mocked those "Non PC" characters and attitudes, and in the case of Alf Garnett showed his slow redemption. Rather than mock and ridicule outdated attitudes today, people seem not only to want to hide them away, but also pretend they never existed. Revisionist history is a very dangerous path to get on even if done with the best of intentions.

LenHazell53 replies on Jul 28, 2021:

I was trapped in a five and a half year abusive relationship with a woman, I was physically, mentally, emotionally and sexually assaulted on a regular basis, you as a woman may not call it rape, but violent sexual attack is to a man rape. It is not "scoring" it is violent, frightening and scarring. And bare in mind, doing anything to "fight back" immediately labels you as the man a domestic abuser, the sense of helplessness is the worst part. Edit and FYI the "Member" does not have to "rise to the occasion" for their to be a sexual assault on a man by a woman. I am not prepared to describe the details here, but suffice to say, a man can be used and abused in more ways than one against his will.
