While I'm on the subject of angry sex did you hear about the Tsunami about a week ago in the Solomon islands? about 39 people dead which is always unfortunate. They have been complaining about the lack of government aid to help them.
Then I got to thinking if a disaster happened 100 years ago what did they do? did they go on about the bloody government? what about Pompeii when Mount Vesuvius erupted in 79 AD hiding the city for 1,600 years, did the people expect Rome to send out a task force and help the survivors live, if so would it be ROMA and not FEMA?
When Katrina hit a lot of the people huddled in a Stadium and waited for help or on their roof tops, then they complained when it wasn't fast enough, and played the race card, victims to be sure.
Heres my point, poor people in a disaster are just as fucked as those 100 years ago, no in fact Oxfam will send you mosquito nets for yer bed, you know the bed that floated away on you but getting a package always cheers people up.
Everyone thinks they live in a socialist country when mother nature destroys their town a most convenient attitude, sorry folks if you were rich or famous you'd get help stat as rich and famous people are at least 1000 times more better and important than poor people, that's the way it is their lives are far more valuable and their shit don't stink. A 1000 troops could die in Iraq but if one of them was a famous American Footballer guess who gets the air time? poor or unfamous families don't grieve or feel pain, that's a proven medical fact.
The most vile and widely read newspaper in Britain by the common man 'The Sun' would have headlines like this and in this order.
'The Queen is recuperating after her ingrown toenail surgery' full story centre pages.
'Off To Phwoarr' Page 3 beauties Ruth, Becky and Mel visit the troops.
' Is Robbie off to rehab again?'
'3000 killed in an earthquake in Wherethefuckistan' see blurb on page 12.

You'll cheer up when you get yer mosquito net.

You say the Sun (known to the hacks who write it as "The Comic") is read by the common man, but really he just looks at the pictures and then sticks the paper in the gap between his windscreen and the dashboard of his Ford Transit van.
Mind you I once got a copy to look at and there were two quite funny articles, one about a parrot being kidanpped and another comparing Prince Edward to Julian Clary. The news about North Korea dropping an atom bomb on Israel was on page 17 at the bottom, and occupied a whole 2 square inches.
Rory Gallagher knew all about that; when back in 69 when he sang with the Taste: "Same old story" I agree 100% Knudsen the rich get richer and poor get poorer, and there's you thinking you're not a socialist.
This post hits the nail on the head - one of my fence panels blew down the other week - I have received absolutely no offers of help from any organisation. To make things worse aparently my insurance doesn't cover it. I am at a very low ebb at the moment.
Sad thing is you touch on the topic that everyone thinks they live in a socialist country when disaster hits. What you don't say is how terrible they view socialism before the disaster.
I'd like to know more about the painting.
let the seals cry to FEMA once i'm among'em
AHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!
good post knuddie, for once you're making good sense.
When a Tsunami hits Mytholmroyd, i will use my mosquito net to catch fish.
Club em,
& eat them out of yesterday's Sun.
Sorted.
Mr Warmington Prince Edward to Julian Clary? shit I must of missed that one.
paddy I'm a socialist when I want healthcare and when I read about the US.
Mr Frobisher I will start up Frobisher aid, lets hope yer former partners don't panic at the name.
pickled olives good point.
samd so would I, it makes Satanism look sexy.
first nations you should learn to be comfortable in yer own skin.
rich for once you're making good sense.

tony when the end of the world cums you're the man to be around.

To be fair, a lot of them got a lot of free sex while they were in there....

"Prince Edward to Julian Clary? shit I must of missed that one."
It was a long time ago, in August or September 1992 -- I really bought that paper to read about Fergie's toe-sucking escapades. I seem to remember they'd got pictures using a telephoto lens. Very tame, What-the-Butler-Saw stuff by modern standards. Her paramour had even less hair than I do, which brought me a glimmer of hope for about 3 seconds until I recalled the appearance of his hippo-sized conquest.
You'll find that 99% of admitted Sun readers take it "for its comprehensive sports round-up." Yep, that and the in depth policy analysis at both the national and international level. "Off to Phwoarr!" was actually a discursive essay on the pros and cons of bosoms as a weapon of war. They've been developing stealth bosoms in Q's lab for the past few years and have them to the point where they can take out an armoured tank in one spray. Deadly. But will the troops remember that after 5 tequilas in the mess-hall? Field trials continue.
Mr waring - free sex? yeah I've used that defense too.
Mr Warmington - I remember it well, though I never bought it the sun has always been a part of my life, I buy the more classy Mirror, Ha!
Sam problem-child-bride - thats right,I also read it to find out the truth.
