You're a yob or you're a wanker -
Take your fucking choice
So who is your favourite genius
James Hird or James Joyce?
You ever seen a live performance?
Join the wanker club
You thought I meant table top dancing?
You're a yobbo, bub

What are ya? Yob or wanker?

Wankers once used mobile phones
But now that's sorta changing
And yobs once lived in cottage homes -
Ain't social change amazing?
If a yob and wanker want a girl
The wanker guy will get her -
Both of them are equally ugly
But the wanker hides it better

What are ya? Yob or wanker?

A wanker fights inequality
And for people's rights;
A wanker fights class prejudice
A yobbo just fights
Yob or wanker - wanker or yob
Pass me the brush to tar ya:
Make your choice then live your life;
Come on pal, what are ya?

I hate Hollywood for attempting these shitty remakes. Where's Bub?! If that dumb soldier at the end is their version of Bub... grrr. And the race-related jokes... two in the trailer alone? Seems like they hired good writers to bastardize the script *rolls eyes*. I'm not going to watch this >.<

Wow! I have to say that is the first baby I have seen being born, and it kinda makes me wish we had a video of our 2!

The birth of my boy (from what I remember)was similar to that, I was very calm and estatic when he was born. My daugther's labour went for 3 days and by the end the midwife said 'ok push' and I had no energy left.

Very proud to say I did both without any pain relief although both bubs were prem and weighed 3lb 6oz and 2lb 4oz. I would love to have a full term baby next time and experience a birh like this especially where my bub could be bought straight to me.

Beautiful persephone

P.S. Persephone was what I wanted to call our daughter but hubby thought it was too out there... I love that name

Very nice, nicely done indeed. And friends of ours were one of those who had a bub on the kitchen floor because it just decided "NOW'S THE TIME!"

Fun times...

Fun times...

Great sift. And to the question in regards to the bub being underwater for a long time... yeah while they're still attached to the umbilical cord (before the placenta detaches from the mother) it's getting all it's oxygen directly in its blood through there.

There's a cool thing with babies in that they will not breath in until air touches their skin. There's a mechanism whereby once air touches their skin it triggers the breathing via the mouth/nose... so if you give birth underwater that is not yet triggered. It's also why you can't imediately put them into water if you happened to have been out of the water to begin with.

Good to see a more natural birth to counter the alarming increase in elective caesars and drug addled births.

stayinalf - this one's for you, bub!

welcome to the sift, bub.

hey neb! you get to vote your own stuff up, bub! counts as much as anyone else's here.

Its like Wolverine meets Thor... bub.

wow, i missed the hub-bub ... glad you guys sorted it out.

"It may or may not make you feel better to know that I had already read or heard about both of those."

What do feelings have to do with anything here? You're being patronizing. That's rude. And I don't see where you've asked me a question, by the way.

"No one is above the law. Everyone should be prosecuted for breaking it. That so many people (not just the evil rich) get away with cheating the tax system is a sign that the system is thoroughly and completely broken. Again notice that I have previously stated that this is true."

First off, you're attributing words to me I haven't said or implied with your "evil rich" quip. That's not kosher. Secondly, your insinution that people of every level of wealth break tax laws and that it then follows that "the system is thoroughly and completely broken" is not supported anywhere in either article. But you imply as much, and then you go on to marshall this false premise to support your opinion. This is a form of dishonesty.

"Were you in power in the US government, I believe you would attempt to manipulate the tax code in order to improve the lives of the middle class as best you saw how."

I take that as a compliment. But I'd not limit my efforts to the middle class of course; the marginalized and disenfranchised poor are at least as deserving of fairness as are the middle-class.

"I on the other hand think there is a fundamental entitlement to the fruits of ones labor."

The word "labour" is meaningless when we are talking about the uber-rich; the only fruits in question here are derived by the labour of others--for productive property accrues value on its own while owners sit idle or lobby their friends in government to manipulate legislation in their favour ie., for more welfare-for-the-wealthy.

"You want to continue to talk tax / budget, go start posting on my video about that."

I've never been one to follow orders, bub; I'll have to decline your attempt to socially engineer me.

So what you call social engineering I call social justice and what I call social justice you call social engineering. But your position is an abstraction; it's diffuse, widespread and intangible. It derives entirely from your perverse ideology where the property rights of a few hundred multi-billionaires and the under-taxed mega-corporations take precedence over the needs of the citizenry to have access to universal health care.

And you know quite well that your consumption tax scheme is regressive and unjust; for although goods are taxed at the same rate whether rich or poor the poor pay a much greater percentage of their wealth in tax than the wealthy can ever spend. You can argue that the wealthy consume more on goods and therefore pay more tax but this merely obfuscates the point which bears repeating: With regressive consumption-based tax schemes the poor pay a much greater percentage of their wealth in tax, therefore it is punative and unjust.

"Social engineering, no matter if its intended for justice or injustice, is still social engineering."

In other words "it is so because you say it is so--for no other reason but this." Except I'm not buying any of that today.

And by the way, everything I've posted is germane to the topic. You were wondering about possibilities for funding universal health care for the United States. I've pointed out huge untapped areas of potential tax revenue that wouldn't at all strain the debt-ridden middle-class. (But you were just trolling here, right?)

There was quite a bit of hub-bub in the media about a local girl who was raped by a U.S. soldier in Okinawa back in the mid nineties. I remember that incident firing up the Japanese lobbyists for the removal of the base then.

"What does it stand for?"
"I don't know, bub I've been told : nothing good."

genius!

The far-right wing John Birch society video, you mean. Of course they said that. Ask yourself why it is certain groups don't come right out and say "Jews" when that is exactly who they mean. It's not my little "theory," bub. And "libertarian" is extreme right-wing, you nitwit.

"The John Birch Society video said that people like me would try to do exactly this..." lol.

Self link. Merits a *discard at least. Read the rules bub.
