Sweet Pete Posted July 20, 2012 Share Posted July 20, 2012 What exactly has that got to do with Marxism? From Wikipedia: "Dialectical materialism is a strand of Marxism, synthesizing Hegel's dialectics, which proposes that every economic order grows to a state of maximum efficiency, while simultaneously developing internal contradictions and weaknesses that contribute to its systemic decay." So, basically, the fact that Simon Harwood has been found innocent, along with the fact that the police have a long history of protecting their own as I said previously, this shows an example of dialectical materialism, whereby we have a relatively advanced, well off, forward-thinking society, but internal corruption such as the Harwood example is a sign of an internal decay of that very society. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would agree with that other than the relatively advanced and forward-thinking bit. Seriously I think we're far from the stage where the inherent weaknesses of capitalism is going to lead to its downfall. We are only half way through a recession brought about by greed and avarice and already the culprits, who have never really been punished, are back making millions. We have no real political choice in this country and the last Labour prime minister is a war criminal and a leech. And even the leader of the SNP is beginning to look like someone who will sell out for the sake of political expediency. I'm sure Marx used dialectical 'analysis' to predict that the first country that would see a workers uprising would be Britain, at that time one of the most industrially advanced nations. He got that pretty wrong. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ffcsam Posted July 20, 2012 Share Posted July 20, 2012 I posted about a situation last Friday night, and the same thing happened tonight. When said person (withholding name, not on PnB but he knows a few that are) started his pish again, I called him an arrogant and ignorant fucker. He was saying things as he passed by me in the pub and when pulled up about it, denied it. What a doncaster of a man.

ffcsam Posted July 21, 2012 Share Posted July 21, 2012 The Republican March (debated on here last year) is currently going through Denny and Dunipace. Wallopers one and all, and that includes those protesting against it complete with Union flags and Tcfkar tops. Seriously, get a fucking life 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

IainMorton Posted July 21, 2012 Share Posted July 21, 2012 When you make a post on a thread and someone posts right after you, but their post starts a new page meaning your post is at the bottom of the last one and will probably never be read! 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tamthebam Posted July 21, 2012 Share Posted July 21, 2012 a traffic report on Radio Scotland "there are reports of slow traffic moving eastwards on the Edinburgh City bypass between Sheriffhall and Gilmerton". Given that the Gilmerton turn off is WEST of Sheriffhall, it's bloody impossible to move eastwards between Sheriffhall and Gilmerton. Of course, I don't expect the weegee biased media to have a clue about the geography of Scotland's capital but I still found it annoying. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Steady on son, Traffic moving on the eastbound carriageway between Sheriffhall and Gilmerton was slow moving.

What's all the fuss about? they should have said between Gilmerton and Sheriffhall to be factually correct. Would they have said "slow moving traffic on the M8 eastbound between Charing Cross and Ibrox" for example? I doubt it. anyway it was just a petty thing that got on my nerves. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
