Something about Facebook.

What a sad world we are becoming.

It was once thought that technology especially computers would be a slave to man, a tool to ease his burden and give him greater leisure time but it seems to me that man is becoming the slave to technoogy with people spending every spare minute glued to their computer.

If that’s living then its your choice and your welcome to it personally I would much prefer to go for walk in the country and stop and chat with people in the flesh.

Don’y get me wrong, social networking sites have their place in society and are brilliant for the less abled bodied person although experience tells me that many of the so called less abled bodied people would benefit from a walk in the country.
RonC

It was once thought that computers would be a slave to man, but since the advent of the internet they’ve actually just become a massive fucking irritant, like a horrible genetic cross between blackfly and crabs. Who would have thought how wrong we could have been, waiting for our computers to evolve into giant flying fucking cars or something and instead getting people like Ron crowded round the internet eagerly waiting to Have Their Say on a variety of stupid, banal and repetitive topics by posting stupid, banal and repetitive opinions like “Technology was supposed to be a slave to man but now we’re its slaves! It’s the Matrix all over again!” and “I don’t know who this person is!” and “Personally, I don’t watch that/listen to music/breathe through my nose, so I don’t have an opinion, but it’s all shit anyway,” and “Slow news day!” and “These cripples are all faking it. I have much experience with this because I once pitched my mother out of her wheelchair and set fire to the house, and the fire brigade still turned up. Bitch must have been swinging the lead. QED.”

Simple solution to these Facebook so-called-disableds, though. Stick pins in their legs. They’d soon walk. Right, Ron?

Right.

Merry Fucking Christmas.

    Many people, able-bodied or otherwise, would benefit from Ron taking a walk in the country. Especially if that country’s not the one they’re in.

    I’m sure that once Ron’s given Chat Roulette a spin, there’ll be no looking back.

  5. on 23 Dec 2010 at 11:18 am RIPOFF BRITIAN

    I know what’s going on here: RonC has been stalking his ex(es) and is frustrated by Facebook’s privacy settings which don’t allow him to read their status updates, emails etc, which is what he views as a failure of technology to be of any worthwhile service to Man.

    However he should wary of what he wishes, because i’m sure they refer to him as “that creep”, “a freakshow” etc, and that’s if they’re spending a second thinking about him at all. And then he’d rant about women being selfish harpies with no concern for Man’s needs.

    In short, cunt.

    Facebook. It’s OK if you’re a cripple, but no-one else has any good reason to use it. Should be called Spasbook, really, or Freakbook.

    …Cuntbook, anyone?

    The use of “in the flesh” does bring to mind a naturist park, though. Apparently it’s not enough to meet people in person anymore, unless they’re pretending to be spasmos of course. Then they can be shunted off to Facebook, where RonC won’t have to look at them in the flesh.

    You can’t dog a paraplegic, or should that be, you can’t be dogged by one, at least not without some very expensive animatronics. Hence they have to pretend to dog each other on Facebook…

    Jamesev…

    Good grief, HYS seems to be turning into some sort of soul sucking rant fest.
    First the majority of post re: X-Factor seem to be tant amount to buring effegies of Cowell, the judges, the 17 million who watch it and the contestants, now its have a pop at Zuckerberg. All people ever seem to do is say how terrible success is. Back in the 80s it was oooohhhh how bad Gates was for creating Windows, Apple was far superior. Now when Jobs company creates a popular phone everyone says its just for the pompous and HTC is the way to go. Now Zuckerberg has just created a monster, it sucks up 5%-9% of my companys bandwidth yada yada yada. No it doesn’t, the people who choose to use it are responsible for that.

    Stop blaming the inventor for individuals lack of responsibility. If you post on a public media that you have gone on holiday to the other end of the world then don’t be suprised if you get robbed, in the same way that if you buy yourself a wireless router with no idea about internet security don’t blame the manufacturer when you don’t make it secure and its piggybacked and used for malicious purposes. And stop blaming gaming manufacturers and social media inventors because individuals spend too much of their time using the product especially when, in the case of Facebook, its provided free. Get a bit of self control.

    Congratulations to Mark Zuckerberg for picking up this accolade.

    I fucking hate when people write “Congratulations to…” or “My best wishes to…” or “My condolences to…” on a HYS site. I mean at least the incomprehensible ranting can be attributed to a response, perhaps even a rational response, to the human condition. Jamesev, on the other hand, has nothing, no purpose, and no conceivable rational explanation. He does not have rage in the conventional sense, just a series of vacuous statements no-one gives a flying fuck about that can be deployed in any discussion.

    “You are suggesting that Ugandan domestic policy in the 1970s was characterised by brutality, and incompetence. Furthermore, you question if Idi Amin was sane. Well, I, jamesev, say congratulations to Idi Amin, I imagine orchestrating a coup in a small African state is a difficult task.” Oh you do? Fucking marvellous.

    An apology is required: On 6/12/10, I posted this-

    Fuck me- Judge James Pickles has risen from the grave. Anyone got a shovel?

    -And was in fact wrong; Pickles was alive at the time, and only popped his clogs today. Please accept my sincere regrets for this inappropriate violation of causality (though if it turns out his death was caused by choking on a biscuit having inadvertently surfed onto SYB, I claim first dibs on a commemorative T-shirt).
    That’s child’s play to KingLeeRoySandersJr:

    How many of you have given a individual a arm they never possessed? How many of you have stopped a comet from burning up the Earth? Who of you has healed and multiplied their own brain? Who of you have walked in a dimension that walked through 8 lanes of cars bumper to bumper at 45 m.p.h.? Who has spoken through only their mind of verbal thought and been heard? Who have created a force of energy using multi-spectrum’s of particles brought from that without dimension and forming it into a pure bright white light tornado controlling it’s decent and ascent? Who of you have allowed a nuclear bomb to explode and cycled it into time and returned it to before it came into being? Anyone with the complete belief and confidence will.

    I once had a wank over Helen Slater as Supergirl, does that count?

    Not much more than 2% greater than that of the brain stem is being utilized. The attention span is not much more than a few seconds.

    Credit where credit’s due; that’s a perfect description of the typical HYS regular. Even his marriage advice to Kate Middleton reeks of wisdom-

    Ride him Cow Girl. Take care of him. Make him last.

    -But I’d pack the anal beads, all the same.

    Old benders have child;

    http://www.dailymail.co.uk/tvshowbiz/article-1342092/Elton-John-David-Furnish-welcome-son-Zachary-help-surrogate-mother.html#

    “Elton John and his civil partner David Furnish have announced they are proud parents to a healthy baby boy.”

    A sad day for the child.

    It will grow up wondering why he has 2 fathers instead of a mother and father which is the norm.

    It is irrelevant as to how well looked after a child maybe in these sort of circumstances. It is simply not natural for a child to have so called ‘parents’ of the same sex.

    Parents are man and woman ie: father and mother, there is no other combination.

    Man and man or woman and woman are simply a childs guardians, nothing more.
    - Pip Waller, North Yorkshire, 28/12/2010 8:03

    Sound logic there. Doesn’t matter how good at parenting they are, it differs from the norm and is therefore unacceptable. That child will have to go through the mind bending trauma of wondering why he has two dads. How can we expect a child to deal with something slightly different from what most other people do? How?!

    Wrong on many levels…..
    Children need a mum and a dad, not 2 dads. It will grow up confused.
    - red arrow me…, Exeter, 28/12/2010 9:52

    Don’t you understand? It will grow up confused! Selfish pigs, inflicting temporary, mild confusion on an innocent child.

    Why have a surrogate deliver your baby when there are so many children needing to be adopted right in the UK. He’s wealthy, like Madge, he can take his pick, I’m sure. I’m sure the red arrow brigade will get me, but, sorry, he’s just selfish.
    - Nikki, San Jose, CA, 28/12/2010 5:00

    Yeah, it’s not like you can apply that to anyone having a child, ever.

    When bad people are angry about good things, you know the world is going to be OK.

    True

    But there is nothing “good” about a couple of benders being given an innocent child to corrupt. Will they be leaving it outside public toilets whilst they go inside for a quick handshank with George Micheal?

    Real wisdom is knowing the difference between good and bad, if God had wanted us to be gay, he would have given us something better than an Arsehole to stick it up, to me it stinks.

    Also, I’m a wiffly bell-end with the social skills of a senile billy goat. I think I spend most of my time here, where people don’t want me, because it’s like when I used to soil my pants so my mother would spank me. I knew it was wrong, but I did it anyway because my sore bottom was a kind of attention reward.

    Mind you, this was only last year, so I could slip back into bad habits… Please don’t ban me or close SYB! I’m only one internet site away from wanking on the top deck of the bus again!

    See? Bad people mad = good, even if their 1950′s view of homosexuality is deeply tiring.

    Also, women have bums as well. When you get around to finding a prostitute desperate enough to let you subject her to a minute and a half of frenzied, awkward rutting, I recommend giving it a look.

    I think “spelt” is an adjective and “spelled” is a verb. He misspelled the word, and the word is misspelt. The word could also be misspelled – by the speller.

  43. on 29 Dec 2010 at 3:10 pm Unthinking woman's pedant.

    ‘Suddenly, Biggles let rip with a really smelt fart.’

    It doesn’t quite work as an adj, does it?

    ‘Circumlocuitous is a very spelly word, isn’t it?

  45. on 29 Dec 2010 at 3:27 pm Unthinking woman's pedant.

    Yet, in the strange organic world of language, you wouldn’t say,

    ‘Biggles dealed the cards with experienced dexterity.’

    That would be ‘wrong’. (Sorry for all this pedantry, I sleeped badly last night)
    The point is there are a group of irregular verbs whose past participles traditionally end with ‘elt’… Spell, Smell, Deal, Sleep, Feel, Learn etc. Nowadays, many of these verbs are migrating towards a ‘regular’ spelling (spelled, etc)

    So there.

    After we’ve digested, (or not, in my case) all the awful things to eat we bought while drunk, there are still the pertinent topics of the moment to spew gastric juices over; such as marriage rights for all:

    These people should get a life. Homosexuals should NOT be allowed to marry. I do not believe in god so I am not coming from a religous angle but this is another load of PC claptrap. They should become interested in something meaningful rather than me me me. Why do the “men” all mince and wear pink and the “girls” wear Doc Martens and act butch.? Get a life…!!!

    Hi Nicky. I find gay marriages very uncomfortable, its not natural and I believe it toitally unacceptable to vring children up in a gay relationship/marr iage. Its not fair on the children. Children need both a mother and a father figure. That’s my opinion. David from Cambridge

    Homo-sexuals have reached the point in their delusion, encouraged by the deliberate and mischievous subverters of our society, that they believe their ac tions to be normal. They no longer realise that they have a harmful and deviant aspect.

    As the lady said a proper marriage is between a man and a woman it really is that simple ! Whatever same sex relationships are they are not marriages andcan never be seen as similar .

    I wish we could get Trench Broom and Jesus together so that Trench Broom could tell Jesus he was “was born and brought up in a Jewish homeland” and then we could all sit back for an hour or two as Jesus tells Trench Broom a few home truths about living in an occupied country where any expression of dissent gets you nailed to a tree.

    Meanwhile, MercThrasher is upholding the true standards of journalism in a way the BBC could only dream of.

    On how 2010 was for him:

    If you have to ask that question, it’s an admission of failure: No, Auntie darling, the earth did not move for me.

    The best thing I did in 2010 was what the BBC is failing to do, and getting worse at doing at all. I maintained the basic standards of objective journalism. I told no lies in print, ran no photoshopped pictures, bent no stories, supported no murderous organisations, and paid careful attention to not creating (or buying-to-fit, Ms Doucet!) the news. I made sure that all my editors and subs are literate, able to distinguish, for example, between ‘wreaking’ and ‘wrecking’ and trained to give chapter and verse when the Bible is quoted, even in direct speech (see today’s St. Paul’s Cathedral story).

    But then again, most of my English-language editors are British, British English is their first language, and they have language qualifications and proven track-records as effective and non-racist editors – to judge from the evidence, the very opposite of the BBC.

    And no, I don’t want to marry you. I’ve turned you down twice a decade for 40 years, Auntie. Don’t cry, darling – it’s just time you packed in trying to be sexy and tried for a personality instead.

    And on Christmas Day, when asked how he spent the day:

    Just another window for the lazy, treasonous nerds of HYS to ask another dumb, meaningless question about another dumb, meaningless subject.

    I’m spending the break doing all the things the BBC doesn’t bother with any more – fact-checking my stories, cross-checking spelling and usage, looking for collateral evidence pro and con, making sure some politico hasn’t planted the whole gig and, most of all, looking very closely at whether the presence of myself or my representatives with cameras, recorders, or just paper and pen, changed what was really happening.

    But while the Beeb creates its stories by buying action or sucking up to media parasites professional and amateur (from the Afghan beggar with a good line in rap to the most ludicrous rubbish generated by the “Palestinians”),there’s not a lot of hope for journalism in the new year, and even less for HYS.

    Well over the Dark, all.

    God Bless the Beeb and all who sail in her. No-one human will.

    Now, I’m an embittered old hack and a pagan to boot, and even I didn’t spend Christmas day spewing self-satisfied vitriol over the message boards of publications that rejected my last half-arsed job application.

    It’s not a good idea to read HYS right now, they’re vying to outdo each other in the fields of ignorance, bigotry and schadenfreude- As John Fogerty might have written, there’s a cuntstorm on the rise.

    I said exactly the same thing about Haiti yesterday, but was censored! The necessary skills and motivation just aren’t there in the native population! That’s not to say that they cannot be – I’m not claiming this to be a genetic deficit, but I do consider it to be a memetic deficit, and some degree of hand-holding and leadership is definitely required for the time being at least.

    1 life, or hundreds/thousands, not much of a dilema in my book of moral reasoning, but of course BBC HYS moderators dont like such moral justified reasoning.

    I doubt that the BBC’s moderators are prone to confusing “moral justified reasoning” (sic), with “frenziedly wanking over Andy McNab paperbacks.”

    A fluffy little article from the dark-haired one off of The Fast Show about dieting. Nothing serious, might produce some rants about fashion models, the food industry and the morals of fat people. First comment?

    I think that you’ll find the coalition has invented an entirely new diet, which the majority of us will be forced to trial in the next 12 months.

    And many more in the same vein. I hate tories from my bones, and credit for not doing one of the variations of “ConDem”, but how twattish is that?

    The thing with Eric from Warrington, for me, is that not being religious makes it worse. If someone is from a religious background I think to myself “well, he may be a twatbasket but at least he’s being a twatbasket because he is basing his opinions on a set of principles that provide a framework for his view of the world.” With Eric, however, I am forced to think “he is a twatbasket because he just chooses to be.”

    Control orders must stay. The government has to balance the possible inconvenience or injustice to a few individuals against the risk of mass murder of hundreds (maybe thousands) of innocent citizens. Preventing the latter must be the top priority, and objections from the courts, the EU and the ‘human rights’ lobby must be overridden by whatever means.

    Those who seek to destroy or enact their own agenda and philosophy on a country and culture that is alien to their own, should face harsh repercussions for what they do. There is no earthly reason why anyone of any faith or culture should hold and handle and distribute books/literature or frequent websites pertaining to how to make bombs or home made weapons to kill or injure.If you make a threat through religious and cultural rhetoric to kill or maim because your beliefs dictate it, all this and more, If people do then it should be taken for granted that they mean to use that information/the threats are real and the means to carry them out, all that should be stopped by any means necessary, if it means control orders or jail then so be it. I personally dont care about any human rights of anyone who does any of the above in this country, there is no repression here, no wars to escape and no ethnic cleansing. This is a land of very significant freedoms and frankly anyone who wishes to curtail or harm our freedoms should have no human rights whatsoever.

    There may be a couple of teensy flaws in the plans outlined above. When I wrote ‘plans’, I meant ‘cocktwaddle.’

    Control orders are inefficient and knowing the record of the security services, they will be used against animal rights activitists and assorted tree huggers.

    But ask anyone outside of HYS, the Socialist worker party, and the far right multiculturalists, and they will tell you to whom the control orders and deportation should be applied.

    So until this country improves its security and intelligence services control orders are the best of a bad job. Use them wisely, increase surveillance of suspect populations, and make it clear that deportation is to be expected.

    According to G K Chesterton:

    “My country, right or wrong,” is a thing that no patriot would think of saying except in a desperate case. It is like saying, “My mother, drunk or sober.”

    Despite this, the assortment of desperate cases that Dipsomaniac Physics Student has found for us are more than happy to admit to the terrible shortcomings of control orders (inconvenient, unjust, ineffective, prone to misuse, etc) even as they feebly try to defend them.

    Personally I blame their mothers for being too drunk to patriotically strangle them at birth.

    Ive decided this year I am going to quit the good job I have got, empty my pension pot, and go on the dole. I am going to get rid of my car, and spend my days sat in my provided house, on benefits, with some girl having lots of kids watching Sky tv on our 50″ Plasma tv, while the kids play on their Xboxes and Playstations. I wont have to worry about the price rises of petrol to get to work, or how little my pension will be worth, or where my money for xmas presents will come from, and I can spend each day having a lie in, with less stress knowing that the money will be provided by the state while the rest of the muppets run around all day panicking about how they will get through each day. Seriously though, while maybe something I wouldnt do, I does make me wonder why the hell I bother working when those who do have the above lifestyle, funded at my expense, seem to have a much better lifestyle thesedays.
