    perhaps because as society's wealth grows, it is becoming more and more concentrated in the hands of a small minority. the workers, who produce this wealth, see their share of it decline, in relative terms. workers (especially in a european context, things may be different in the US) are seeing their jobs become ever more insecure, their employment rights eroded and social protections coming under attack.

      ...or maybe after watching the match and having a few pints, all they really want is a shag and a good night's sleep.
      No, I did not steal that from somebody on Something Awful.

        Experience. The last couple of years I've worked mostly amongst people who don't have English as a first language.

          there's an interesting discussion to be had about stuff like this, but probably not with you.

            No, you just want to pop off and tell us how stupid we are for being grateful for what we have. You should be happy anyone bothers to even respond to you.

              you are stupid, whether you're grateful for what you have or not.

                  Now I know you're reading my mind with you as the subject.... creepy.

                  But still only anecdotal proof of your much-vaunted long distance telepathy.

                        I'm using all the extra board irony to press a few shirts. The linen ones especially.

                            i work for myself, so there is no boss oppressing me.

                            my concern is those who are suffering as i described in post 16, which i note that no one argues against. perhaps the argument was too much for you to understand.

                              I am no stinkin socialist but you should try looking at the world from outside the relative safety of your daddy's house... and then talk about absurd world views.
