pub car king Posted August 24, 2023 Share Posted August 24, 2023 We seem to have the need to label people/things these days. Everything has to be labelled as a certain condition or diagnosis, when the plain truth is some people are fucking stupid. They will make decisions in line with this, its not anybodies fault that they come from a long line of paste eaters and they don't need to be given a nice cuddly label for this just call it as it is. We are at a point where reasoned intelligence is being shouted down for fear of upsetting the swathes of f**k wits that walk amongst us. 13 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Big Rider Posted August 24, 2023 Share Posted August 24, 2023 Paste eaters We now get people who can’t give a reasonable account for their point of view on something, demanding parity with experts because its their “opinion”. Best just to keep Schtum if you don’t know anything. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Derry Alli Posted August 24, 2023 Share Posted August 24, 2023 (edited) I'm working with a fucking idiot tomorrow and without doubt I will get opportunity to call him a 'paste eater'.

I'm liking how this is a popular sentiment despite no examples being given. Pub car king could be talking about cerebral palsy or making a veiled comment about the inferiority of certain races (please pretend you were, just for the craic). When I was a kid, it was dyslexics who were routinely classed as thickos by folk who knew more than "experts", so I am curious about which groups are the modern day equivalent. 7 hours ago, Big Rider said: Paste eaters We now get people who can’t give a reasonable account for their point of view on something, demanding parity with experts because its their “opinion”.

ADHD Now there are plenty cases where kids have issues but at the previous school there was a family where all five kids were diagnosed. They were just unruly little shits with scumbag parents. At least by having 'diagnosis' school got money for ASNA to basically chase them around the school while the parents gave it poooorrr wee Jayden and boast about how they were getting a fortune in DLA. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

vikingTON Posted August 25, 2023 Share Posted August 25, 2023 The deputy leader of Inverclyde Council got a front page splash this week in the local rag for 'bravely disclosing' an ADHD diagnosis. Discarding the usual, unquantifiable bullshit like 'brain fog', the tangible effects of this crippling obstacle amounts to, err, having to take lots of notes at council meetings. The reality is that she visited an educational psychologist - psychologists being the lightly regulated, quack discipline of medicine - and got a purely self-affirming 'diagnosis' in exchange for a healthy fee. See also the increasingly widespread diagnosis of 'anxiety' - not some demonstrable, extreme anxiety disorder: just generic 'anxiety' in younger people (early 20s and younger) as an Issue Which Needs Accomodation. That generation are only responding naturally to the cues given to them by adult society about how to game the system in their short-term favour and avoid leaving their comfort zone, but are setting themselves up for much greater failure in the future. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No, your kid is a horrible little brat because you’re shit at parenting. Yip. Have a cousin who's been "diagnosed" with this and it's a lot of shite IMO. Had him round a couple of times to play with my kids and he's absolutely fine behaviour wise (sadly he's about a year behind developmentally). The problem with him is his shit parents and the lack of attention/discipline he receives. He completely wrecked his nursery classroom last year after being asked to put something away (no rules at home due to lazy parenting). His mum was phoned and she went to the classroom and tidied it up. And then after being told he was to go home for the day, I shit you not, she took him for a McDonalds en route home. "Here son, you've behaved appallingly, have a treat". Fucking useless. Too many folk are gagging for a diagnosis to cover up the fact they're useless parents.
