Tracker Posted May 11, 2020 Share Posted May 11, 2020 It's not original but it does seem appropriate at the moment? Today we mourn the passing of a beloved old friend, Common Sense, who has been with us for many years. No one knows for sure how old he was, since his birth records were long ago lost in bureaucratic red tape. He will be remembered as having cultivated such valuable lessons as: Knowing when to come in out of the rain; Why the early bird gets the worm; Life isn’t always fair, and maybe it was my fault. Common sense lived by simple, sound financial policies (don’t spend more than you can earn) and reliable strategies (adults are in charge not children). His health began to deteriorate rapidly when well intentioned but overbearing regulations were set in place. Reports of an 8 year old boy charged with sexual harassment for kissing a classmate on the cheek, teens suspended from school for using mouthwash after lunch, and a teacher fired for reprimanding an unruly student, only worsened his condition. Common sense lost ground when parents attacked teachers for doing the job they themselves had failed to do in disciplining their unruly children. It declined even further when schools were required to get parental consent to administer sun lotion or an aspirin to a student, but could not inform parents when a student became pregnant and wanted to have an abortion. Common sense lost the will to live as the churches became businesses, and criminals received better treatment than their victims. Common sense took a beating when you couldn’t defend yourself from a burglar in your own home and the burglar could sue you for assault. Common sense finally gave up the will to live, after a women failed to realize that a steaming cup of coffee was hot. She spilled a little in her lap, and was promptly awarded a huge settlement. Common sense was preceded in death, by His parents, Truth and Trust His wife, Discretion His daughter, Responsibility His son, Reason. He is survived by his 4 stepbrothers I know my rights I want my rights I want it now I’m a victim. Not many attended his funeral because so few realised he was gone.

Instead of constantly whingeing and moaning many of us are thankful for everything we have and living in a country with so many freedoms and priviledges - including ironically the freedom to whinge without fear of persecution.

Tracker Posted May 13, 2020 Author Share Posted May 13, 2020 A light hearted thread is much better when several like minded people who do not take themselves too seriously all contribute and I have seen little evidence of that in recent years. I often post jokes and whilst I accept that few are original they all raise a smile but it seems there are very few smilers left on here? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think there is a lot of Covid-19 fatigue/worry/stress around at the moment contributing to the general sniping and bad feeling. I remain optimistic that better days are ahead.

I wish that were true, Covid followed 4 years of bad mouthing, bad tempered, badly written, ill conceived, political gibberish Brexit codswallop, which achieved nothing - exept persuading quite a few good contibutors to leave.

Yeah, its like I said, he can lie, allow people to die, shag his way through half of London (actually ill let him off that one) and do whatever he likes as long as he delivers Brexit for you eh? Its a big deal to the people of Northern Ireland and those here that trade with them. Thats probably of no bother to you though I expect. This is why so many of us are totally unable to have any trust in this current government at a time when we should be all behind them and supporting them. There is zero level of trust, nothing whatsoever. You elected a serial liar for one purpose and now as a result we are all paying the price.
