What's caused the downfall of this country?

[Shizuoka Dolphin]

All we ever seem to read about on NSC these days is how the country has gone down the pan. So what's the cause?

 

[Nibble]

Polls.

 

[beorhthelm]

Would you care to define when it started to go down hill? You cant blame Blair, he is a symptom, not a cause. dont feed his ego in such a way.

Society has been decaying since the 60's as far as i can tell. The advent of the so called "comprehensive" education seems to be at the heart of this, but again im not sure if this is a cause or effect.

Also, missed off media. there is a perception of things being far worse than they are because we are constantly told how bad everything is.

 

[Buzzer]

I blame the changing of brand names. Opal Fruit, marathon, oil of ulay, smarties no longer being sold in tubes with lids with letters.

Crisps in the wrong colour packets - light blue is salt and vinegar, green is for cheese and onion.

That's when it all went wrong.

 

[RM-Taylor]

I would say neither of them, it's just society that's changed.

 

[Lokki 7]

You forgot MUSLIMS.

 

[Nibble]

I think in all seriousness the country started to go downhill during WW2. Absent fathers, lack of discipline, families broken apart etc

Damned right. What the f*** is a Snickers !

 

[Les Biehn]

Things were so much better when we were an Imperial power. Why can't we start enslaving, killing, stealing and generally butt f***ing everyone again.

 

[Everest]

Politicians. End of.

 

[Trufflehound]

Which country are we talking about?

 

[Big Jim]

Things were so much better when we were an Imperial power. Why can't we start enslaving, killing, stealing and generally butt f***ing everyone again.

I thought we still do that?

 

[Les Biehn]

I thought we still do that?

No, we are sucking the dick of a new imperial power while they go around doing that. Unfortunately they are not as good as we were at it.

I think you're right there les, chuck in a bit of starvation, child labour and opium dens and we'll get back on the right track.

This country has been going downhill ever since

It does make me laugh. Because of course things were so much better in the 40's and 50's, I mean we had war and poverty but there was no crime on our streets you see, all the gangsters made sure of. They only hurt their own. And anyone who got in their way. Never hurt women though. Unless they were married to them and they got in their way.

Yeah, good point. Although the thought of Blair Sucking Bush ain't too pleasant. Although I do wonder whether if it would be a sexual relationship?

 

[Trufflehound]

Intolerance - a lack of respect for the rights of other people.

What happened to "live and let live"?

 

[Les Biehn]

Yeah, good point. Although the thought of Blair Sucking Bush ain't too pleasant. Although I do wonder whether if it would be a sexual relationship?

It kind of like rape from Bushes point of view in that its all about the power, while for Blair it is a transaction. So you are right, no sex.

 

[Garry Nelson's Left Foot]

Surely political correctness has been the downfall of this country?! It's an absolute disgrace that an Englishman can't rape, pillage and sneer his way around the world anymore. We bloody built the modern world you ungrateful savages, the least you could do is acquiesce to a bit of subjugation. Bastards.

And teenagers. They're definintely a pestilence that needs dealing with. Perhaps we could kill all teenagers at birth? That way we wouldn't have to worry about young people lacking in respect.

I'm also not entirely sure that giving the vote to women, gays and common people was a good idea. Just look what's happened since then.
