If we think about it we are a land of idiots, a world of idiots even. Out of the millions of people that actually live on this planet and use daily a washing machine, a computer, a cash machine even a bloody toaster, how many know how these things work or if they broke how many could fix them? Not fucking many! If the electric went out in Britain today I'm positive we would be reduced to a land of barbaric mutherfuckers. I'm serious i think it would be Hell on earth as people would be looting TESCO (personally I think we should start doing that now), dying in the streets, your money would probably become worthless, there'd be riots etc etc.
Every minute of every day a new idiot is born who will grow up taking for granted all the technology in the world and never learning anything about it except that it dries there clothes or heats their house.
Humans are the only animal that has the ability to create and use technology in more than a primitive way. As a result of this we have now stopped evolution for the human race as we will no longer die out and evolve to suit our changing habitat but we change our habitat to suit us. Perhaps the inevitablility of global warming is natures way of making us evolve once more. As the earth gets hotter and hotter will we begin to see evolution in action, as the people who cannot survive in the new climate die out?
We are babies constantly being babysat by the very technology based society we have created around us. I mean for gods sake most people today wouldn't know how to cook a basic meal if it wasn't available in microwave form.
The dawn of the dumb is upon us.

So im like what? and shes like what?!
And you were like what!?!
Watching the news yesterday i cant believe how corrupt our(English) government is! Sure you may say thats nieve but to be honest although I hate party politics i'd always had a certain amount of respect for british politicians compared to some of their american and european counterparts. It now emerges however that the top cabinet members of New Labour have been taking 'illegal' donations to fund their election campaigns. Should we expect more from the leaders of men? I 've always believed that politics is inevitably corrupt by its very nature. For instance, when you become chancellor of the ex chequer you must go into thinking 'yep, im really gonna make a difference and make peoples lives better'. but then when you've changed a few lives, I reckon you start thinking 'Yep i'm definitley the man for this job and It would be a travesty if someone else was in this position.' So thats when you start doing everything you have to do to keep that job. And if that means bending your principles or doing something for the prime minister you wouldn't usually then you do it. Although thats a bit simplified I really think this can be applied to all echelons of government and in a way nearly all jobs.
The american system is even more skewed away from democracy. When your top politicians all hold large share holds in multi national corporations how can you expect fairness when contracting business. Isn't it inevitable that these so called 'politicians' are going to give the contracts to their own businesses? or to their friends?
It really makes me sick these american bastard politicians, they think their country is the peak of civilization but really its the sodom and gomorrah of our time. Super capitalism as displayed by america serves only to corrupt the young and keep the poor (and mainly black) population in there place.
My final point on this is the hypocrisy that Britain and America two of the worlds most heavily armed nuclear powers can say to another sovereign state, in this case Iran that they are not to be allowed Nuclear power, simply because they dont like their way of life. This all so they can keep their Cultural and now rather diminishing economic control on the world!

Ok so i've got a gorgeous beautiful girlfriend. We've been together for about a year and a half and I really get on with her and we have a great love life. However Im only 22 and I met this girl and started a relationship with her immediately after coming out of a pretty intense 5 year relationship. After that I was just really looking for a fling but now its turned into this.

I feel like my life as a young man should involve going out with my friends and meeting loads of different people and having lots of sex with a variety of women. Basically I feel like Im missing out. i've never really had experience of going out and 'pulling' girls 'cause of these two relationships I've been in.

My girlfriend at the moment also comes from an indian sikh family whereas I am from a white family. She practices her religion though like I practice mine, which is not at all. the problem with this though is that although we have been going out for nearly two years her family knows nothing about me or our relationship. the reason for this being basic rejection on the part of her family to accept that she can or would go out with a man who is either not indian or more particularly not a Sikh.

Like I say she is gorgeous she makes me laugh and we get on amazingly. my question is this though, two years for me is definitely a serious relationship, but how can she be taking it seriously or expect it to go anywhere if she wont even tell her family she has a boyfriend. I realise the amount of aggravation she would no doubt get but at the end of the day shes going to have to tell them at some point whether its about me or someone else she meets in the future.

So in this context I'm unsure what to do. Should I carry on in a realtionship that I really enjoy and get alot out of but that probably has no future or should I go it alone?

Soon be home
You'll soon be home
Under soil and hearth
A friend to
The worms of Earth
All dressed up
And coloured in
Until we say hello again
Goodbye, our friend you will be missed
And your name added to oblivions list
