Curtain Twitchers and Outsiders and Retired Colonels and Self-appointed Sages27 Aug 2010 08:50 am

Thanks to Laura for discovering the splendidly named grumpovian, a proper, old-fashioned, mean-spirited bastard who, for reasons that remain unclear, was compelled to answer when HYS asked, how concerned are you about your sexual health?

Cease sex education immediately. What a lot of absolute tosh! In this world full of left wing do-gooder, liberal pansies, what do we need this nonsense for. We never had such a waste of time when we were at school, 50 or so years ago, and we found out what to do, as did the early cave men! We will be telling them how to use toilet paper next! Teenagers deserve what they get, as they have no moral scruples whatsoever, following in the footsteps of their parents. Don’t treat them on the NHS, but let them pay privately for their disease. Why should precious resources be diverted from real, and genuine sickness, to deal with the likes of some teenagers who, with their “sex education”, should know better!
grumpovian

Has grumpovian misunderstood the point of sex education, mistaking it for a simple how-to guide for youths so far out of touch with their essential natures in a digital age that they require step-by-step instructions in order to perform the most basic biological functions? Or is the raw, bleeding truth that he/she/it (I’m going to go with ‘it’) knows full well what sex education is, and simply wishes AIDS on the young?

If I wasn’t in a generous mood (and, as luck would have it, I’m not), I’d say the latter.

    What a cock! To me this read as

    “I’m old and not getting sex any more so why should anyone else”

    Also he is worried that if the NHS spends all it’s money on sex diseases then they won’t be able to treat his inevitable dementia.

    If Grumpovian has a partner, I’m very glad I’m not that person.

    I think grumpovian is most likely a troll. That doesn’t read like a real post- far too coherent for starters, although I admit I don’t see the point of trolling a site that doesn’t allow voting or replies.

    I actually think he believes the former. That there’s a whole group of Kadir-Buxton’s going round teaching kids how to caress the Inner Labia.

    When in fact, my sex ed classes consisted of our teacher saying – “if you perform oral sex on a women, to avoid the chance of catching an STI, use clingfilm as a barrier”.

    My packed lunch was ruined that day.

    In this world full of left wing do-gooder, liberal pansies, what do we need this nonsense for.

    Coherent? The world’s so full of commie gays that kids don’t need to be taught about proper condom use?

  6. on 27 Aug 2010 at 9:47 am Kris

    My sex ed consisted of a large scottish woman booming that ‘if ye are going to have anal, make sure ye use a thick condom, and lottsa lube.’

    Wise words.

  7. on 27 Aug 2010 at 9:50 am Kris

    Thinking about it now, I don’t think that woman was even a teacher. She did after all tell me that while we were alone in a dark cupboard.

    It’s nonsense of course – every teenage boy knows what toilet paper is for and how to use it.

    As the only organic species on Earth capable of communicating history so that we do not repeat the mistakes of the past, I cannot believe we have not beheaded grumpovian and used him as high-protein animal feed rather than listen to him grumble on about how he never had sex education even though it is, in his case, a completely moot point in the same way nobody ever instructed him to land a commercial passenger aircraft as it is not strictly required for the execution of his job as Junior Telephone Sales Executive for Elite Office Cleaning Products Ltd.

    I seem to recall that my Sex-ed classes generally involved chucking a Diaphragm around like a Frisbee while the temp RE teacher tried to regain any sense of order.

    At my school the sex ed consisted of attempting to get a recycled condom over a 9 inch long and 2 inch diameter test-tube. Needless to say, we left school with some “issues” between the sheets.

  24. on 27 Aug 2010 at 1:00 pm Edwin

    I went to a Catholic school, and the sex ed was shite. All “hell”, “damnation” and “rimming”.

    <NotFunnyButTrue>
    I went to Catholic schools and was taught all the biology and some genetics too. As for the “moral” side, we were all taught that “Sex is NOT a dirty word”.
    Contrary to most of what is written and said vis-a-vis Catholic schools, I received a good education and am gateful of it.

    …we found out what to do, as did the early cave men!

    I rather think the point of sex education is to teach the youngsters what not to do, or, if they are going to do it, not to end up pregnant / diseased.

    An ounce of prevention and all that.

    Translation to Grumpovian’s answer to the question “How concerned are you about your sexual health?”

    “Not at all. I’ve still not worked out what the dangly bit is for.”

  39. on 27 Aug 2010 at 6:24 pm Stop the wars and so on

    I completely see Grumpovians point of view, if they continue to educate women about the right to say ‘no’ prosecution is a real danger for him.

    But we DO teach our children how to use toilet paper. Its called potty training and if Freud got anything right (not much – granted), this retentive guy was forced into it way too early.

    I like his idea that sexually transmitted infections are not “real” or “geniune” illnesses. I wonder how long he’d feel that way with burning hot piss, weeping genital sores and an auto-immune disease that might give him a slow and painful humiliating death. Lets find out.

    @Cennair. Thank fuck the mic wasn’t open for that one!
    As thanks for the Shropshire-based erectile guffaws, here’s part of a poem about brewer’s droop in Ludlow. :-)

    Why, if ’tis dancing you would be,
    There’s brisker pipes than poetry.
    Say, for what were hop-yards meant,
    Or why was Burton built on Trent?
    Oh many a peer of England brews
    Livelier liquor than the Muse,
    And malt does more than Milton can
    To justify God’s ways to man.
    Ale, man, ale’s the stuff to drink
    For fellows whom it hurts to think:
    Look into the pewter pot
    To see the world as the world’s not.
    And faith, ’tis pleasant till ’tis past:
    The mischief is that ’twill not last.
    Oh I have been to Ludlow fair
    And left my necktie God knows where,
    And carried half way home, or near,
    Pints and quarts of Ludlow beer:
    Then the world seemed none so bad,
    And I myself a sterling lad;
    And down in lovely muck I’ve lain,
    Happy till I woke again.
    Then I saw the morning sky:
    Heigho, the tale was all a lie;
    The world, it was the old world yet,
    I was I, my things were wet,
    And nothing now remained to do
    But begin the game anew.

    I’m half Irish, and ’tisn’t me, to be sure.
    I also went to a Catholic, boys only, Christian Brothers-run school, and the only formal sex education we received was in the form of a booklet handed to the parents in the pre-school interview. Following that we were on our own. Apart from the practical sessions with Brother Maloney, that is.

    Subsequently I went on to meet an accommodating lady-person with whom to refine the details, unlike grumpovian, who appears to have spent the years since the 50s in the company of the widow palm and her five daughters. I think he’s just angry and bitter because he’s never had the opportunity to catch a sexually transmitted infection.

    As many social scientists will confirm, crime is linked with inequality poverty and social exclusion. As society becomes more polarized by wealth and status positions, social cohesion begins to break down and society no longer trusts each other.

    As the capitalist system throws out more poor and unemployed people the rich begin to feel ‘surrounded’, and more paranoid about crime and the security of their wealth and property. This perception is relayed through the media, government, police, judicial system, that we are in the midst of a crime wave and that the authorities should be locking more people up with an emphasis on criminalising and repressing the working class youth.

    The real criminals are the successive capitalist governments and their neo-liberal policies, that have impoverished and alienated a large section of society, destroyed communities and living standards. Written off vast amounts of potential of the young working class and have applied rascist stereotypes to them such as ‘Chav’ which is predicated against the ‘white’ working class. They have destroyed secure employment, and at the same time have been dismantling the welfare state and public services. Decent jobs, training and education is a distant memory for the working class so they can no longer compete in society. They have closed down schools and youth facilities, have neglected social housing and have let families live in the most squalid and overcrowded conditions for decades (those are the lucky ones who have actually got a council prpoerty), whilst millions are stuck on the waiting list. Or they face the greedy landlords who can’t offer much better and will bleed you dry for it, and can kick you out whenever they see fit.

    Its these conditions that breed criminality. When a society is divided so brutally by the capitalist class, gangs, drug dealers, gun traffickers, organized crime and thugs will always step in to the vacuum of hopelessness and despair that plagues the inner cities and the sink estate ‘holding pens’. Eventually the U.K’s poverty and inequality epidemic will lead to an almost lawless society like Mexico and US ghetto culture and some of the African nations. Although I can’t help thinking that perhaps this is what the capitalist class want, since a fearful and isolated public feels powerless, and will be far more pliable and co-operative under the capitalists control.

    Good point well made

    Kris, you make a good point. Whilst the EDF are probably white, ill-educated pricks, the UAF are a bunch of middle-class pricks, whom seem ignorant of their implicitly imperialistic tendencies through their tacit support of monoculturalism. Furthermore, both organisations present facile and vacuous arguments concerning islam and immigration, with the UAF providing a reprieve for otherwise rightfully despised politicians.

    What is worse, this moral dilemma cannot be easily overcome the usual way – by adopting the stance of the unelectable left-wing parties – because doing so will accept the editorial line of the Daily Mail.

  60. on 29 Aug 2010 at 6:21 pm Cylux

    Our good friend govt_helper is back, and this time its still the wimmins fault:

    For example, we constantly hear campaigning about violence against women, but nobody talks about the CAUSES of violence against women, which on the whole are MALE INSECURITY.

    But that is not to criticise men, because men have been MADE INSECURE by having their traditional role taken away or seriously threatened, and so called “women’s liberation”, so that men now live in fear of their wife or girlfriend having sex with other men, and you only have to look at the occasional episode of the Jeremy Kyle show, to see that this is WHY a lot if not most of the violence arises – male fears of their wives or girlfriends being unfaithful.

    That’s right folks, women getting beaten up is the fault of women, you know, cheating on men. Since its well know that men NEVER cheat on women. No Sir. Not-a-once.

    Alas it appears our hero is a bit put out from non-cunts using the tags to tell him what they think of him:

    Just a note to the COWARDLY MORONS who posted those tags.

    Yes, that’s what you are, COWARDLY MORONS (or more likely ONE MORON) hiding behind your computer screen, hurling abuse at people who if you met them in real life you probably would be too scared to look in the eye.

    So hide in your hate and shame, you’re pathetic, I LAUGH at you.

    I’d be scared to look him in the eye its true. Mainly cos he’s a foaming nutcase, and a twunt.

  61. on 29 Aug 2010 at 6:55 pm Undemocractic Speed Bump

    (or more likely ONE MORON)

    That just sums up govt_helper right there. Totally unable to believe the majority of people think he’s a cunt. Instead he thinks he’s being personally attacked by one person who goes to the effort of repeatedly tagging him as the cockwomble he is.

    End.

  63. on 29 Aug 2010 at 8:54 pm tw@basket.com

    Govt_helper on gender seems a bit tame after Eivind Berge’s bilge but never the less…

    It is all very fine for govt_helper to bang on about relationships between men and women as a whole, as if he has some sort of valid perspective, but the truth is that personal relationships are actually formed between individuals. Generally, they work better between individuals who trust and respect each other.

    If govt_helper flips on a Jeremy Kyle Show episode called “I Shag Rugby Teams While My Partner Is Too Busy Posting Crap On The Internet To Notice”, fails to realise that the entire Jeremy Kyle franchise is an freak show artificially confected for the entertainment of morons like him, looks at his partner and thinks “She’d totally do that if I turned my back for a minute” then that may or may not tell us anything about his partner (who may or may not even exist) but it sure as hell tells us a lot about the paranoid, insecure, untrusting twunt that is govt_helper. [Fuck me that was a long sentence!]

    I also like the idea that he thinks that one person is dedicated to abusing him; a Moriarty to his Holmes. Somebody really should point him over here and show him that his imagined arch nemesis is actually just a disparate bunch of bored people who have noticed that he is a twat and enjoy pointing it out.

  64. on 29 Aug 2010 at 9:23 pm Cylux

    govt_helper’s WRITING style does MAKE things MUCH more interesting to READ though. The best part about him is that quite a few of his posts start of being sensible, almost something that could make you think “yeah, he’s got a point there”, before he inevitably ends up just blaming women for everything.

    A bit like how Kadir-Buxton solves every problem with a few slaps round face before a handclap up the chuff.

    Also I think the tag “possible spermdonors” is his cack-handed attempt to insult everyone calling him a cunt over tags, which shows you that his ability to insult is about as good as his reasoning skills.

    After nearly a month’s self-imposed non-reading/non-posting of SYB, naturally my first urge on return was to check if I’d been mentioned. Thanks to Welshboy and Kris, I am now cumming so hard that I’m having difficulty seeing the letters on the keyboard.

    Oh, and I had the, er, benefits of a Catholic sex education as well. I remember a girl friend (note the space) of mine recounting that she’d been told, at school, by a State-appointed teacher, that every time she had a period she had failed in her duty to God. That gave her a complex for quite a few years.

    Weren’t you supposed to be a goose steppin’, sieg heilin’, and chantin’ “pakis out!” in Bradford today?

    Shit, how did you manage to discover my beliefs were extrapolated from German domestic policy in the 1930s and applied to unique social problems of contemporary Britain based on a single critique of the UAF? That is impressive.

    I mean it is impressive for a reactionary, illiterate fuckwit.

    So they were correct and you managed to evade arrest then? Good chap.

    Does the labelling of the entirety of a large anti fascist group as ‘middle class pricks’ also count as ‘reactionary fuckwittery’? Or does that not count because an intellectual colossus such as yourself did it?

    Also, why the chip on your shoulder about the ‘middle classes’?

    What I have learnt about teenagers….. although bought up well with strict parents our son is HARD WORK! It took two years before we had him …. and sadly he is too young to LEAVE HOME! He is rude and disrespectful to us and his teachers. We can’t wait for the 6 LONG WEEKS to be over so he can go back to school. The poor Teachers! He says “NO” to everything we ask. If we tell him he is grounded he tells us he will jump from his bedroom window. When he washes up he refuses to rinse & does it badly. He refuses to brush his teeth, doing so only once a week. He says if we dont give him pocket money he will mug someone.When he is extra naughty he doesn’t get pocket money. He swears at us his parents & his brother. We are at a loss at what to do. He only does what he wants to do.He listens to awful insulting music on the internet & on his mobile, we have now put a simi lock onthe internet, so he can only look at certain things yet still he can look at rubbish … if we put 100% lock on what would be the point? In the 6 weeks he had made ‘friends’ with some bad lads – lads we dont know one asked him to beat up another child (he couldnt do it himslf as he was on bail) child on bail said he would give him MONEY to do it! He told us & I told him I would give him the money NOT to do it. This I did. My other half was angry with ME for giving him he money (not to ruin is life) for other half said, “what will I do later on when the money is higher will I give him that too?” I said “No but it was so show him “WE LOVE HIM!” He later told us the child on bail beat the child up himself & got himself into more trouble. It’s a jungle out there!!!

    Our kids have all the mod cons that kids love to have today DS, PSP, COMPUTER, WII, many CHANNELS on our tv yet they are still not happy. We have taken them to London twice in the 6 weeks holiday they fought all the way on the train, there & all the way back!We had spent the whole day in the amazing British History Museum. On the second floor in one of the rooms (there is another floor above) he even sat on the edge another inch and he would have fallen to his death! I just walked away he seems to try to shock and does always the OPPOSITE to whatever we say, because I walked away he got up off the edge & follwed me. We said we wouldn’t go again!!! We’d planned to go 2 weeks later we told them we wouldn’t take them. Yet we did 28th Aug It was a fantastic day they still argue & fought we went on the amazing London Eye! And the fantastic Madame Tussauds. We went to Buckinham Place he went on the top of the statute of the LION near the shallow water below… he wouldn’t come down so I said I’ll take a picture of him. Then he came down. He loves one to one with us & as soon as that is over he attacks his brother.

    I know we were teenagers once & I know I was ‘naughty’ too I haven’t forgotton what it was like for I remember what it was like & I remember saying to myslef “Remember what this feels like” it’s not nice. The feeling that no one is going thru what I am going thru especially my PARENTS! I thought they don’t understand. I have told my son when he has kids of his own he will remember my words. all the do’s & the don’t. He is young, not for long as time flies & quicker now it seems. He too will soon be saying to his children “don’t do that & please do this.

    Yet he is one of the GOOD ones when I look at our TV & the news I think of all the kds running wild on the streets all hours of the night, SIGH! what is our world coming to. We his parents could do with counselllng! For what we have been through. Yet I’ve said to my Mum ” how did you cope with 5 kids!?” Mum’s are amazing (and dad’s too, although mine wasnt).

    So this is what I have learnt about teenagers? No book comes with them & I can’t get a refund…. not that we would want a refund, he is hard work, BUT SO WAS I & I turned out well with a job & family & lots of good friends.

    There is NOTHING NEW UNDER THE SUN.

    This is going to be fun with her on board.

    If my Mum made up a long and tedious story about taking me to a museum that doesn’t even exist and posted it on the internet I think I might have an attitude problem too.

    It is hard to tell how much of EbayTkmax’s story is fictionalised. Clearly there is quite a bit of tosh in there even after letting the details of which London landmark is which pass. I certainly don’t buy the claim of the kid doing the washing up, even very badly, while being as far gone as she claims in other respects. Besides, she doesn’t sound like a an exasperated mother with a problem child. She sounds like a reactionary tosser making at least part of this stuff up.

    Anyway, if EbayTkmax should pop in and read this, I have two points:

    1. You did not turn out particularly well.
    2. You are still hard work.

    According to the teen-speak glossary in that Grauniad article

    Clunge Vagina

    We is so down wiv da kidz here, man!

  79. on 30 Aug 2010 at 10:55 pm Fuck it

    Or does that not count because an intellectual colossus such as yourself did it?

    Also, why the chip on your shoulder about the ‘middle classes’?

    Jesus Christ, what is with the boner everyone has for the fucking UAF? It is a yet another bullshit SWP ‘united front’ organisation.

    I am just thanking fuck I never made a shit joke about Diana or ‘our hero boys’ in Afganistan.

    At least 50% of that list of teen-speak words is total shite, made up by teenagers tired of being patronised by Guardian columnists.

    Safe.

    we found out what to do, as did the early cave men

    Cavemen were polyamorous and enjoyed hallucinogen-inspired actually I don’t think we’re going to go there.

    What a great blog. I spend hours on the cyberspace reading blogs, about tons of different themes. I have to first of all give kudos to whoever built your theme and second of all to you for writing what i can only describe as an unbelievable article. I honestly think there is a ability to writing articles that only very few posses and frankly you have it. The combining of enlightening and quality content is by all odds super rarified with the king-sized amount of blogs on the cyberspace.
