I wanted to share a file in this category but upon upload, I'm told PDF format is not allowed? Is there an alternative or are PDF's simply not welcome here?

Hi Mike :)

Only Chip would know and he may have blocked .PDF files as they can contain viruses...

All the best Brett :)

Screenshot it and save it as a gif is your best bet, or alternatively you can host it on an external website and link to that.

The max file upload size is 256KB

Chip

If only that was funny. :(

Unfortunately its very sad and sadly true.

Luckily there is still a little UNcommon sense about and we can only pray that those who have that will eventually prevail.

So true, but the sad thing is it seems that majority can't see it any more :beatstick:

Certainly those in charge don't. I've often thought that our leaders are being taken over by aliens, because they most certainly are NOT representative of ALL the people I interact with. :x

So much for politicians be OUR representatives. :evil:

This aliens seem to be all over the world.

Our Goverment is turning good into bad and bad into good.
Over here it´s realy funny at the moment. Funny in a not so funny way.

I like to shoot someone. but i have no gun..... :D


On the other hand this is a good chance to put your own little children in the right direction!
So many parents let them do whatever they want!

We shouldn't take this path because I alone could fill a mile long thread on the subject, so God knows what our collective issue would lead to.

With so many people against all this shit what's it going to take to change it back to what worked perfectly, before these "I know better than you" arseholes got hold of power and screwed us all?

Just one INSANE thing I saw on TV on the bringing up of kids last night that I have to relate.

BTW the main problem is STUPID MOTHERS before I go on.

This STUPID MOTHER had spoilt her kid so bad that the kid was wearing £500 dresses whilst the house was having to be sold to pay of her debts!!!! :tard: :tard: :tard: :tard:

Super Nanny steps in and sets the stupid mother straight - super Nanny then leaves.

Stupid Mother tries to apply some discipline to the kid and ends up being verbally abused like she's the kid and ends up crying and then CONCLUDES :shock: :shock: :shock: :shock: :shock: :shock: :shock: that super Nanny's methods are TOO STRICT, because they've upset the fucking kid!!!!!!!!!!!!!! :x :x :x :x :x :x :x :x :x :x :x :x

GIVE ME FUCKING STRENGTH!!!!!!!!

I have a simple solution that would CURE all such problems (including child pregnancies) in a single action.

ALL girls as soon as medically appropriate and BEFORE they capable of getting pregnant should be implanted with a suitable contraceptive media that lasts indefinitely (or they are forced to have it renewed as needed) and they are ONLY allowed to come off it AFTER they have attended education on how kids NEED to be brought up.

Controversial no doubt but it would save the world from an immense amount of grief as it stands now. :idea:

Hi Trev :)

I totally agree its almost always the parents fault....

When my kids were younger they both thought I was WAY too strict, (wouldn't let them out schooldays, took and brought them back etc, always had to know PRECISELY where they were, etc etc)

I made them both EARN any money I gave them, small jobs like car washing, etc etc

My son is now in a high paying job and doing brilliantly, hes raised so much money for charity that he has been picked by his Company to climb Kilimanjaro to raise even more money...

My daughter, who is predicted to get 3 A STARS at A level has just had a Cambridge interview (which she didn't get, in my opinion because her school was not "posh" enough...)
But she had 4 other definite offers , including one from Cardiff where its a 4 years twin degree course, then a further 3 years Masters.....which she has accepted :)

When I discussed the 7 years with my daughter, she said, well you always told me you have to work for anything you get and I want a Brand new BMW cabriolet..... so after my Masters YOU can buy it for me lollllllllllllllllll

I will as well lol...

Old sayings have a LOT of truth in them....so spare the rod etc etc....

All the best Brett :)

Such an emotive topic, maybe I shouldn't have linked to that obituary which is obviously meant as dark humour but is so close to the bone it strikes nerves.

It reminds me of a very funny (but also too close to the truth!) 2006 film, Idiocracy. Anyone seen it?
I highly recommend it because it's actually turning out to be a fairly accurate prophecy IMHO!

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Idiocracy

EDIT: IF you've seen the film (and recall the energy drink marketing everyone believed) you'll probably enjoy these... http://help.com/post/180950-brawndo-the ... lator-like

I'm just glad I didint turn into my parents as they say we all eventually do??

If I had turned into one of my parents I would either be a Bleached Blonde alcoholic who chases young boys. Or........................................................ My mother :rofl:


And folk wonder why I'm such a Crazy Mixed up Kid!!!!
