Says that Lewis Hamilton is not a good role model for the country.
Really?
Joey Barton. KNOB!!!! Nn
Never understood why BBC insist on always quoting him and Robbie Savage. Both complete average footballers who if they had behaved in a professional manner throughout their careers they may have actually succeeded in winning something. Says that Lewis Hamilton is not a good role model for the country.
Really?
Joey Barton. KNOB!!!! Nn
Instead they spend more time spouting absolute rubbish on twitter about people who have applied themselves in their professional discipline to a much higher level than either of them ever got close to.
Biggest highlight of Savages career was being the one failure from the 'Class of '92', whereas Barton's biggest professional achievement is being an absolute thug and getting sent off in the game that Aguero scored the late league winning goal.

Love to see a golfer play without clubs, or a cricketer play without a bat, or a footballer play without a ball.
But there may be a distinction between sports. where arguably motorsports could be one of the few truly human sports.
You could train dogs or chimpanzees run in a race, to kick a football, or hit a ball with a bat, or club (they may even be a lot better at it than we are!?) but try doing that with any kind of motorsport, and it really would not work out all that well. Cycling might also be the nearest sport that could be regarded as a truly human sport as a mix of man and machine.

The very rich have usually been this way for decades if not centuries, so the know full well how to hang on to what they have got and to accumulate even more wealth, and since they are usually the controllers of a country (any country)they know how to adjust laws to benefit themselves. Yes they do take vast sums for themselves but in a country of 63 million plus, they are likely to be relatively few in number. I would suspect that very few people know a millionaire, but suspect that many of us know at least one someone, who is a benefits claimant.Like it or not the main filter for humans is one of intelligence. Even in cave man days it often came down to strength plus intelligence, not just strength alone.
If a way could be found to give everyone on the planet an equal share of its resources, give it a year or two, and those resources will have started to be `re distributed' with some acquiring far more than their fair share, Some with more or less what they started with, and a large group with little or nothing left of their `fair share'
It is really the much derided, so called middle classes who do the work and produce the wealth and taxes which keeps those at the very top and bottom of the wealth spectrum alive.

In the UK, the top 10% of earners (whom you would probably deride as "rich") pay more than half of all income tax. The top 1% (whom you would definitely deride as "rich") pay not much less than a third.Like it or not the main filter for humans is one of intelligence.

It makes me think "knob" when people in the UK moan about the "rich" as though they are an indolent few rather than hundreds of thousands of people that are, compared to most Brits, massively productive and extremely heavily taxed. One fairly "rich" person will often pay more tax than about 20 middle-earners put together and will nonetheless be derided by Daily Mail readers for not paying his "fair share" (whatever in the name of f
k the word "fair" is supposed to mean in that context). Most Daily Mail readers will pay an effective tax rate of 20-odd %; the "rich" people whom they envy and despise in equal measure often pay an effective tax rate of over 50%.

so you either get on and do the best you can knowing you can do fk all to change the world, or have a st life complaining about it all, and 'refusing to line the man's pockets' i.e. don't have a job and complain about being skint, which also means a st life for your family, and probably the next generation of your family. Unfortunately if you insist on looking at life this way it's a lose:lose, so you need to not do that.yellowjack said:
Not really. Commas and capitals, and the importance of emphasis. Literacy standards really have slipped since I were a lad... 
Oh, and it's a LOWER CASE 'y' in "yellowjack" old chap...
Not having a go, you seem to be coming under enough flak but as Yellowjack is a username then surely it should be a capital Y?Oh, and it's a LOWER CASE 'y' in "yellowjack" old chap...

That was pretty much the sum of the argument.
Pretty much Athletics only.

Even the rich knobs who avoid tax like mad, still pay stloads compared to those of us on more modest incomes.
