Rhianna is one of the ugliest "celebrities" I've ever seen. Can't get my head around the obsession with her. The fact she is a massive whore still doesn't get her the benefit of the doubt

if you need a licence for your car, television, dog, to cut down certain trees, hold a street party, operate some HGV's and own an exotic pet - then you should have to obtain one before having a child; having some demonstrable ability to be able to provide for the thing would be a start, rather than relying on hand-outs from day one, let alone having the intellectual capacity to bring the thing up as a potentially worthwhile member of society rather than just another cretinous parasite...

 

engelbert humperdink's kind endorsement of my tiny-minded bigotry reminds me:

just down the road from where I live, engelbert and tom jones had a fucking great country mansion which they used as a shag-pad for sundry birds they fetched down from london for the weekend

it was on the market a while ago for untold millions - spectacular place - particularly liking the basement disco and the zebra skin rugs

google image search results

daily mail article

and, in the other direction, robert smith of the cure owned another huge place, but that was only worth £1.4 million - the bloated povvy goth twat

also roger daltry lives just down the road, runs a trout farm and quite often (well - once in eleven years) goes (has gone) in the pub over the road from mine

do any other P&B'ers vicariously live the hedonistic life of top international rock stars by the simple expedient of "living a bit near them" ?

btw - this is rural east sussex we're talking about here, not knightsbridge, park lane, croydon or some other luxurious london postcode area !

Absolutely disgusting misogyny to suggest women would do such a thing

In my most productive pumping years ('a regular for each day of the week' type affair), my otherwise maid-cleaned bedroom apparently smelled like sex. An entire shag pad must've had wild  animals howling at the doors.

The worlds fucked. You make it through life by bullshiting as many people as possible. You dump all over people in the hope that you'll one day reach those you claim to despise, the one's who dump on you. Honesty, morals, niceness gets you nowhere. Be an uncaring, superficial asshole and our brainwashed TV junkie culture will love you for it.

Dogs are severely over rated. Mooching your dinner, slavering everywhere and loud. Not for me

Pets are a bit manky. Shit all over the place and leave hairs everywhere.

90% of high fliers at work are complete c***s bordering on sociopathic and sometimes psychopathic.

The scary thing is the two faced lifestyle they have as outside work they appear normal. What does it say about society when you are encouraged to be a dick to succeed.

As much as Donald Trump is a moron and says stupid crap, I'm done to death with these people on my FB or Twitter sharing videos posts "exposing him" etc. Yawn, a bit boring now.

Gone are the days where going to university was special.
A heavy lack of jobs for school leavers, access courses and setups like University of Paisley dropping the entry bar so low a degree isn't a sign of intelligence but rather an indication that you're not a complete loser.
You do need a degree to work in a bank for a little more than minimum wage because all the candidates will have one.

Don't go to university to get a great job. Go to university so you're not left with a horrible job.

Elite English universities are still stand outs.

It's very doubtful that they are.  It's more likely that you just don't like them and probably have envy of their achievement so rationalise your feelings by calling them sociopathic or a psychopath.

Economic changes made this inevitable - many jobs that previously didn't require a University degree now do.  My dad didn't go to University and worked for many years as a reporter, a job you'd likely need a degree for.  He moved from that to run his own business and he said that he looked at an applicant with a University degree as being someone who had demonstrated their ability to achieve something so they could probably learn the job, even if the disciplines didn't totally overlap.  Sadly, this line of thinking lead him to hire a load of Gender Studies graduates to work in his maritime private security company and he's been a hostage to Somali pirates for the last ten years.  Miss you dad.

Ok 90% is a bit high but I've seen workplaces ran by people who seem to love creating a climate of fear and politics. They also seem to have a sychophantic clique who spy on others to get ahead. It's like some sort of weird control they have and you are at risk if you expose it or call it out.

Behind it is incompetence and insecurity, with a very small percentage actually psychopaths. My first workplace was run by a total nutball  who would stare out his office window over everyone and if you looked back you were hauled up to HR. Meanwhile equipment  was ran without safety equipment or training. So yes, I don't like these people. I like honest and fair managers who back up their workers but since the unions were destroyed working conditions deteriorate all the time. Sociopaths fill the gaps and create hellholes like amazon or sports direct etc.

Who cares if workers have to walk ten miles a day, they are lucky to have a job. Let's time them for toilet breaks and employ nasty middle managers who will threaten them.

The figures that Jon Ronson uses suggest that 96% of business leaders aren't psychopaths.  If you look at the criteria for psychopathy then most of it is not conducive to being a successful person in the corporate world - laziness, boredom, compulsive lying are all traits on the checklist.  These aren't going to help you get on in the corporate world, they are going to hinder you.  In Jon Ronson's book he interviews a corporate boss, I can't recall his name, and finds that although he is certainly callous and lacking in empathy, he has never had any behavioural problems and has a stable family life, things that are not associated with psychopathy.   

You are far more accurate in saying that bullying and poor management is caused by incompetence and insecurity than clinical mental issues.  British managers are poorly trained and over-promoted. 

I read an interesting post about Amazon warehouse jobs - the poster was an experienced warehouse worker and said that the reason that Amazon warehouses get such a bad rap is because they are advertised as for people who aren't used to working in physical jobs.  People who would normally work in retail jobs go into a warehouse environment and find that it's hard going - the poster said that it was basically a normal warehouse job.  I've not worked in a labouring job for many years and have never worked in Amazon so can't comment on the accuracy of the comments, but it was interesting to me.
