DI Bruce Robertson Posted August 31, 2016 Share Posted August 31, 2016 Deep down you obviously utterly loathe people who make a success of themselves in life. What a sad vindictive attitude to have[emoji5] Deep down, I utterly loathe people who boast about their earnings to try to prove a point about social justice & monetary rewards by posting about how much they earn** which at most will amount to a Middle managers wage, which is disappointing given he is at the end of his working life!This is not a pissing contest.

I don't mind admitting I find braggards like oaksoft (whether they're actually successful or otherwise) pretty loathsome but I'm pretty sure everyone does. I assume this is your way of trying to suggest you're one of the 'successful' bunch you think I loathe? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I look forward to many years of fruitful interaction with you assuming my arthritic old fingers can cope with the effort of typing at this new fangled keyboard doodah. What was wrong with a good old fashioned typewriter and a postcard? Right I am away for my milky drink and afternoon nap. Hopefully I can get to 4pm without soiling the bed again. Then I have to get up and tend to those quantum mechanical calculations which I kicked off this morning for one of my clients. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
williemillersmoustache Posted August 31, 2016 Share Posted August 31, 2016 Is "I used to work in IT" the shittest argument for anything on P&B ever? It's up there I reckon. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MarkoRaj Posted August 31, 2016 Share Posted August 31, 2016 When things go well they take the credit. When they do badly they attribute blame elsewhere. This is actually my main argument for independence. We currently have 2 elections: 1 for the overall government that has the most power that we have limited (or zero, depending on your outlook) say in who actually wins the election. The other has limited power but we do elect the government ourselves.So even if we don't like what is happening with the UK government there's pretty much f**k all we can do about it. Not only that but the government we can vote for can just blame everything on the government of the UK. Why not just vote for one government, stop the blame games and give the Scottish electorate the authority to hold whoever is in charge accountable for everything? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That what most men are taught when growing up. Well it's just simple reason isn't it? Bragging is usually the result of insecurity about other things. What exactly do you imagine I've been "receiving" from you? You act like an absolute cretin on here and I'm calling you out on it, that's all. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What do you think I have to be jealous of you over and why are you so desperate to imagine people are jealous of you? I can only form an opinion of you by what you post on here and however much money you might have, I imagine you as a fairly sad and insecure figure. I seriously doubt I'd trade places with you, given the chance. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I assume this is your way of trying to suggest you're one of the 'successful' bunch you think I loathe? No, certainly not.

Loondave1 Posted September 1, 2016 Share Posted September 1, 2016 The" young people are smart because they agree with me and old people are thick because they disagree" patter is a bit simplistic is it not ? I mean young people fall off hotel balconies in Spain on a regular basis and old people seem to have more "wisdom" and negotiate holidays without death from great heights.However i wouldn't dream of extrapolating that to claim old people were therefore more intelligent. Similarly understanding computer code etc is a bit of a narrow basis to claim superiority and a bummer for a pub conversation even.I actually had one of the first pocket calculators,a Sinclair job you had to solder yourself before amazing your elders.I was so far ahead of the game i really was.Look at me now though fuckin nowhere.Look and learn Grasshopper... 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It is simplistic but you'll find exactly the same type of stuff directed the other way about 'wisdom', 'experience' etc. The flow is just more noticeable in one direction because of the demographics of this site. The dynamics between younger and older generations will always be the same in a lot of ways. You'll find similar complaints and gripes flying either way in every era in every part of the world. Today's older generation will have said the same things when they were younger and today's younger generation will face the same criticisms in a few decades time. It's a natural thing to ignore the failings of 'your' side and focus a bit too much on the good parts. Take Brexit, yep the older generations pushed through the Leave vote but if the younger folk had bothered to get off their arses and actually vote, Remain would have won. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
