God you are so far up your own arse aren't you ?

I went swimming with my girls this morning and then we went shopping and had some lunch... It was a nice enjoyable day... I am sorry about that... Next time I will make sure no one enjoys it all...

My little girl really got excited when we bought her a pretty Mickey Mouse coat... What a sin!!

FFS...

I have caught some of your posts before you quickly edited them... So please do feck off on your white horse...

and you know what, it isn't about you and your self loathing or hatred for the world... Your going to grow old very bitter... Enjoy!

People go shopping at the weekend... Its relaxing and its spending time with your Family and Friends...

No doubt your problem is you are so bitter, seething and disgusted with everyone you are probably not that much fun to be around.

I don't for a second you don't buy a nice pair of jeans and find some level of enjoyment in it. Your all bloody two faced!

We're hunter-gatherers - it's no surprise to me that humans invented shopping as a pastime, now we (in the West) no longer have to forage for our survival. So now we forage for consumer goods in a forest of shops, and pick things off shelves instead of branches.

We're just animals with civilisation tacked on. Retailers rely on this, products get organised to appeal to our foraging instincts. It's a wonder they don't put up something for us to swing along to get from one section of the shopping centre to another.

Internet shopping is more interesting - what primal instinct does that satisfy?

that's quite possible

does that mean spending money (and manufacturing the goods, and using up the resources, and adding to global climate change) on things that 'we' don't need is a good thing?

should it be a goal to have 'areas' in our lives for disfunction, just in case it stops us doing something else...?

That democracy in America's a farce, because it costs so much to put forward a candidate and it all has to be sponsored by financial institutions.

so politicians are bought in order to be in a position to get elected.

it makes a business out of the democratic system.

he also talked about the divide between affluence and poverty, coexisting side by side, with all power and influence going to those who could afford to buy it.

In an interview with RT’s Marina Portnaya, prominent scholar Professor Noam Chomsky gives his take on some of the world’s political hot topics.

Chomsky vividly shares his reflections on the wall street protests and warns of an impending serious poverty and real unemployment similar to the great depression, he talks about the 2012 American presidential campaign spending and how positions in both the white house and the congress are being bought, not earned
