Why do people think sweeping statements are fine 'sahms are lazy' 'men are pervs' 'people on benefits are spongers' 'middle class parents are smug' 'teenagers are rude' blah blah fucking blah

Stop it. It's annoying.

YY, it's moronic and says more about the poster than swathes of people they'r'e slating.

It's bloody constant. Well I think it is. Perhaps my wankerdar is tuned to hyper sensitive just now.

I like sweeping statements:

I will sweep the step forthwith

This morning I swept the chimney with vigour and aplomb

The mine sweeper has left the harbour on a breathtaking mission of derring-do.

StrawberrytallCAKE · 02/03/2012 14:07

What's wrong with being lazy anyway?

PomBearAtTheGatesOfDawn · 02/03/2012 14:08

Will you sweep my step later on hully? Grin and maybe run round with a duster and a damp cloth while you're there? Grin

PeppyNephrine · 02/03/2012 14:12

Its cos People are Twats, in the main. Sweeping generalisation but I think you'll find ample evidence. Grin

Beejayel · 02/03/2012 14:12

Pagwatch - 'some people think sweeping statements are fine'. If you please. Wink

YANBU, of course.

But "People called Pagwatch live in big white houses" is true...

habbibu · 02/03/2012 14:18

But xxxx people are yyyy. I thought that was a given. Can you honestly say you've never met an xxxx person, and thought "oh, she is just so bloody yyyy she may as well print it on a t-shirt"?

habbibu · 02/03/2012 14:19

Pagwatch is going to sweep a big brush full of yellow paint over her house now, Trills.

Hullygully · 02/03/2012 14:19

hello habb!

Not seen you in yonks.

habbibu · 02/03/2012 14:21

Afternoon. No, I drift in and out these days. Perhaps waft fragrantly is more apt.
