A person can be offended by anything; a comment, a joke, a film, a song, a painting, an advert, an idea, even a piece of clothing. The reasoning behind the offence can also be vast from political to personal but no matter the rationale, being offended is part […]
We’re living in a time in which we’re told never to generalise and not to stereotype, and yet the media seems content in putting generations into a box. It seems that everywhere you turn these days, some headline or hashtag will pop-up and tell you what the pissing […]
Apparently, nothing says “I love you” like commemorating a Christian martyr who was executed because he refused to convert to Roman paganism. Let’s face it, whether you think the legend of Saint Valentine is romantic or not (and it definitely isn’t) Valentine’s Day is simply another commercialised celebration […]
Problem, reaction, solution; you hear this term a lot these days, especially in conspiracy theories. A form of the Hagelian Dialactic (thesis, reaction, antithesis) seems to me however, to be taking place in the most unlikely yet obvious sector; in consumer products. If you look at various products […]
If Maths teachers constantly shouted at and belittled their students, would they keep their job? So why do Physical Education teachers get away with it? From my experience as a young child and then later as a teenager, every single P.E. teacher that I came across was woefully […]
We’re living in a time of complete idiocy, nothing makes sense any more. For two decades the masses have slowly accepted any and everything thrown at them; an event takes place that results in legislation that is fundamentally against the ideals of a nation but people accept it […]
An unfortunate and unintentional by-product of an act of terror is highlighting all the morons in our society. The recent Manchester attack brought out all the idiots from the woodwork and like 9/11, 7/7, The Boston Bombing, and the Paris Attacks, it showed us who the fools and […]
Social media was supposed to be a method of connecting the world, where people from all walks of life got together in order to discuss and share their thoughts and opinions. No longer were people from different parts of the world going to feel alone, hey, let’s all […]
There seems to be a growing number of people, especially on the right who reject the idea of Islamophobia; they either say it’s justified since modern-day terrorism is perpetrated by Islamic extremists or that it flat-out doesn’t exist because it’s somehow impossible to be prejudice against a religion […]
The public’s fascination with Donald Trump is maddening to watch. As it unfolds like a predictable plot to a second-rate conspiracy thriller, it becomes wearisome to anyone with a sane mind; the right constantly praising him, the left constantly berating him, all the while the rest of the […]
There seems to be a growing number of people who incorrectly group those who are critical of bigotry with those who advocate censorship and what’s worse is that nobody seems to be correcting them. You’ll witness this confusion on many occasions in contemporary society, especially online; someone leaves […]
The weirdest plot for the strangest show has now had the most unbelievable conclusion. If you don’t already know, a comedy show, a satirical comedy show I’ll point out, has now had one of its episodes “pulled” due to a few tweets and a petition. This show is […]
A fan and a fandom is a strange creation if you think about it. I have no idea what happened before the concept of celebrity – in let’s say the year 1593 did people stalk the head of their church or worship a specific knight in the same […]
So many sellouts came out of the woodwork on and after 9/11. So affected by the overblown events of that day, this multitude of morons without thinking of the consequences, were fine with their freedoms being eroded for the sake of so-called “protection against terrorism”. 9/11 brought out […]
One completely unexpected outcome of the Brexit vote was the strange and unfathomable reaction to the result itself. June 24th 2016 aside from marking the date that Britain left a corrupt, money-grabbing federal state, was also the day that I finally realised how fake the majority of people […]
