Curtain Twitchers and Delusions of Grandeur and Miscellaneous Prats and Retired Colonels03 Aug 2010 07:30 am
By Gainsbourg

Look, I’m going to level with you. I don’t like people. I think they’re brutal, selfish and stupid. Nevertheless, I sometimes wake up in the morning with the sun shining on my face, feeling almost at peace with the world, and in those moments I question myself. I think, am I the problem? Am I the one who needs to change?

Then I get up and take a look at HYS (currently asking: would you step in to help a child?) and BAM! Top two comments, pair of cunts.

You only need to read the ‘Sarahs law’ HYS to see why people are fearful!

I found a 4 year old wandering the streets near my old flat with no shoes on, in mid winter with snow on the ground. I had to stand on the pavement waiting for 20 minutes for the police to show up because I was so terrified of the implications of taking a half dressed kid inside to warm up. The kid nearly froze as a result.
Peter_Sym

No, I wouldn’t help. And yes I am concerned they would be abusive.

The problem nowadays, is that an adult is considered a threat to a child despite the adults good intentions.

Personally, I’d walk away, and if the child was hurt or abducted, then sorry, but not my fault. Blame the parents, government, society as a whole.
martin622

So the first two people we encounter on this thread are: a man who’s such a coward that he’d have watched a toddler freeze to death before risking any course of action with ‘implications’; and a complete monster who wouldn’t lose any sleep if he abandoned a child to some horrific fate, purely to make a point.

Extrapolate this result across the rest of our species. I feel vindicated. Equilibrium is restored.

    Holy shit, that’s amazing, even for HYS. Just be glad that what people say and what they actually do in practice tend to be two different things.

  2. on 03 Aug 2010 at 7:49 am Any Rand will do

    Perhaps Peter_Sym and Martin622 are already on the register – maybe 622 is “Martin”‘s registration number. That’s why they’re so frightened of being caught again.

    Or maybe they’re just complete hyenas’ hairyfordshires.

    Nice to see Peter Sym showing his broad understanding of everything and anything. It’s been a while and we missed him.

    In Peter Sym’s world there’s no middle ground between leaving a child to freeze on the street and inviting them in for anal sex and cocoa. Give him your coat you quivering cyst!

    I once read that stores threatened to boycott Nirvana’s Nevermind because you could see the babies danglies on the cover. In response, the band created stickers that read along the lines of “If you’re offended by this, you’re a closet paedophile.”

    Peter_Sym, think of it!

    Cuger Brant has a new book out – he has apparently written an “updated” version of “A Christmas Carol” – and I quote:

    It was the day before Christmas as the thoroughly disgruntled man pushed through the busy throng of people. He felt thoroughly ‘miffed’ (and that is being gentle on the emotion he felt). He hated them, despised them, they filled him with contempt. The thought, ‘pathetic idiots’, ran through his mind.

    He decided to buy a coffee and escape this melée of humankind jostling and pushing around him. He sat at a table outside a café in Ely Court. No! It was not a court of law. It was the name of an outside thoroughfare of the local shopping mall. He mulled over the subject of Christmas and the crowds of fools, as he perceived them: the mindless sheep who rushed around the shopping centre. “The ‘Shopping Mall’ that self-gratifying, preserver and provider of all pointless artifacts, which the local populace of the town of ‘Royal Tunbridge Wells’ frequented, in order to touch, pick and buy.” He thought, running the whole situation through his mind.

    A classic from a towering literary intellect. I’m off to digest some more of his powerful prose and deep werds.

    Link here for your enjoyment.

    Does he blow up the town again?

  11. on 03 Aug 2010 at 11:28 am eleanora_

    Well, so far he’s blown up his house, and that’s only on page 16!

    That sounds awesome. That’s definitely on my Christmas list, right alongside a packet of Wilkinson Sword open blade razors.

    From Brant’s latest opus

    Mrs Martin reciprocated by giving them accommodation in her outhouse and feeding them during their stay.

    How badly must they have treated poor Mrs Martin if she incarcerated them in her shitehouse? And what did she feed them?

    I’ve started reading Cuger’s latest effort.

    Unfortunately, I lose the will to live every few sentences and have to regain it before I read on, meaning I’m getting through it very slowly.

    It’s good though.

  15. on 03 Aug 2010 at 12:16 pm Cougar Brent

    Seriously, buy his book. In a strange way it’s life affirming, because you now have absolute proof that somebody, somewhere, there’s a person who’s more of a dodo’s dripping dangly than you are!

    Yes, but what if a puma was hiding behind the child and jumped out onto you while you were looking the other way?

    Well, the puma would obviously eat the child first. Unless it didn’t want to be accused of being a puma paedophile, of course.

    Jesus, how true. The sheer amount of times I’ve nearly been caught by the old helpless-child-being-used-as-bait-next-to-a-CCTV-camera trick. Just the other day I saw a child being pulled into the river by a crocodile and, naturally, my immediate reaction was to rush over and save him. Just in time I saw there was a CCTV camera capturing the whole scene! A close shave indeed. And then when the little bugger realised he wasn’t going to be saved he started screaming blue fucking murder, obviously. Is there any depths to which this nanny state will not sink?

    Remember how both Channel 4 and the BNP of all people were roundly condemned as racist for trying to get the story out about mainly asian muslim men coercing, forcing, and manipulating young white girls into prositution.

    Before you continue, please do the following:

    1. Apply lots of fake tan.
    2. Put on a burka or similar non-WASP garb.
    3. Walk down the street. Any street will do, really, as long as there are some white people on it.

    Then come back and we’ll listen to what you have to say.

    Cuger! Cuger!

    The vocabulary!

    Rebecca sat there beside him. She was dressed or, rather, was ‘attired’, in her tatty clothes;

    The dangling participles!

    She put her small thin hand, which was covered in burn marks, caringly on his arm and said

    The pointless repetition!

    He often did this; he did this all the time.

    But most of all, the adverbs! The adverbs! THE ADVERBS!

    Luke looked at her. “No, Rebecca, you cannot possibly dream my dreams,” he said disconcertedly.
    “Sometimes I can, Luke,” she replied whimsically.

    Cuger looked avidly but cautiously at the child, he stared uneasily. The small girl wasn’t wearing, that is wasn’t ‘clothed’ in, any shoes and she wandered unaccompaniededly through the snow ‘barefoot’.
    ‘I wish to aid you’ Cugar muttered to himself, talking quietly alone. ‘But there is a CCTV camera atop this street and I would not wish to be mistook, I would not want to be seen as, a nonce.’ He decided it was his perogative to watch over the half clothed child wandering through the snow as she wandered through Baker Street. No! It was not a bakery.
    At that moment the cat walked in erroneously and cocked a ‘snoop’. The thought entered his mind; ‘By gum’.

  51. on 03 Aug 2010 at 7:57 pm eleanora_

    @USB – it’s the time travel, obviously. Cuger, with his superior brane, has reinterpreted the text in new and enlightening ways that enable those of us of feeble intellect to “digest the moral and spirituality of the prose”.

    Ah, that’d be it. Obviously. I thought he was referring to all the genetically-engineered frogs and pigs and rats etc in the story.

I bet it was the vegetarians, possibly in league with, I dunno, the Hindoos, trying to stop thousands of years of Beefeating and Yeoman Wardening.

    Damn right they should bring it back, every bloody stone, and in good time for the Olympics.

  54. on 03 Aug 2010 at 10:57 pm Has anyone seen my watch?

    It is vital, of course, that should they bring back the Tower of London stone by stone they should use the correct manual handling techniques as taught by those in the know. And in front of a CCTV camera for good measure.

    DimTim:

    It’s not about laughing at those who criticise the system. It’s about laughing at those who think all its problems have simple causes (eg. “too many immigrants”, “the nanny-state”), and that the solutions, which seem obvious to them (eg. “vote BNP”, “abolish all laws that inconvenience me”), are also so off-the-wall and radical that the only way to get them implemented is to keep adding them to the racket on internet messageboards.

    It’s also about reminding you that you’re a fruitbat’s frotbits.

    From TimBulb’s link, a comment:

    Women are NOT suited to compete in the world outside the home. Their emotions are so easily manipulated by the pros (even by amateurs) it is a no brainer to see why the elitists want women in positions of decision making and other powers. “Easily moved by emotional appeals” translates into easily controlled. You see it everywhere. Remember that lesbian bitch, Reno? How about Hillary and Pelosi? Bunch of self-loving robots, doing as ordered. Ever had any dealings with a woman cop? Totally out of her orbit and usually a total bitch to boot. When not manipulated one way or another a woman’s decision will ALWAYS be for her usually petty self interest, and to hell with any other issue apparent. That often means her kids given any and every advantage. It’s still for HER. She doesn’t give an honest damn about someone else’s kids. No sense of fairness in business dealings, or marriage dealings, for that matter. Self-destructive self-interest in steroids. Always and forever. Without the totally biased law on their side even their material lives would be miserable indeed.

    Awesome, isn’t it.

    By the way, can we agree to refer to him as TimBulb from now on? It’s LOL-tastic.
