The problem with your country is

Post by Sean Hayden » Tue Nov 06, 2018 4:50 pm

The level of conformity is so great there's no truth in public discourse...no point to asking the man on the street anything at all.

You know who you are.

Now it's your turn, go!
The latest fad is a poverty social. Every woman must wear calico,
and every man his old clothes. In addition each is fined 25 cents if
he or she does not have a patch on his or her clothing. If these
parties become a regular thing, says an exchange, won't there be
a good chance for newspaper men to shine?

The Silver State. 1894.

Your country is stupid and smells funny. You know who you are.
Yeah well that's just, like, your opinion, man.

My country is sulking and has thrown its dummy out of the pram.

Everybody must be happy. It's like a fucking law. If you don't greet everyone with a smile and a ready joke it's like you have a third arm growing out of your forehead.

You must be writing about the Netherlands, happiest country in the world.

Or perhaps the UK. They don't even have the expression "constantly whinging" in their vocabulary.

Why not? He might take the opportunity to tell us that the Netherlands has the best of all problems, which is the problem of improving a country that has no problems.
