I love the patois on the page of Zadie Smith's new experimental tome. But it lacks a certain existentialism. Jean Paul Sartre made his valid point here, but the nihilistic approach of the explosion of happenings juxtaposes with The Tweenies.

Is that better?

I suppose there's a difference between chatty inconsequential stuff and Real Debates.

Though 'i am a cunt' is a great credential. Feck.off Google scholar

Symbolistic proposition is a frame of mind. Symbolism is about the idea and .... Oh Christ, I can't be arsed OP - it's Friday night.

firemansamisnormansdad · 31/08/2012 23:32

Patios are good, Worra, mine is excellent. Especially when it's sunny.

I may as well get this out my system here

I hate posters who go

" no doubt all the posters will be along to say ... xzyZ, but I hung baby up by its ears/ shagged an elephant and it was fine.

Why? Why put that no doubt bit? Do they do it to make you want to kill them!?

You can call me what you like, I dnt mind.

I know this has also been debated at length but I always read your name as mary-zed and never recall f that is correct.

24Hours · 31/08/2012 23:36

I like a good debate too. Quite frankly I get enough pleasant chit chat and at the other end of the scale, Life problems in RL. So its nice to come hear for the debates that seem a bit opinionated or prissy.or overthinking in real life.

AgentZigzag · 31/08/2012 23:36

All the research on google scholar is also just made up of academics giving other academics the finger.

Just a larger version of AIBU really.

worldcitizen · 31/08/2012 23:37

maryz agreed Grin I just state facts and hope to God people don't check them [funny]

TheEnthusiasticTroll · 31/08/2012 23:37

they are inviting the vipers to rip them to shreds honey and so deserve all they get.

edam · 31/08/2012 23:38

domestic violence is very much NOT a first world problem. Sadly women in developing nations are just as likely to be victims, but they have far fewer legal rights and there is far less support for them. Although some organisations are trying to create refuges, they are obviously extremely few and far between.

AgentZigzag · 31/08/2012 23:39

Yeah, but sometimes it's true honeydragon.

I have to admit to have once Grin

The OP deserved a Val tongue lashing and should have been warned.

I miss her.

24Hours · 31/08/2012 23:41

Yeah but when you have had the dame discussions a few times you already know the counter arguments that you know are coming. If the anti elephant shaggers didn't convince you the irate few times, hearing the same thing again is not going g to work.
Btw. Irate - first. Bleddy phone wont let me backtrack

honeydragon · 31/08/2012 23:41

I miss Val too.

TheEnthusiasticTroll · 31/08/2012 23:42
