Once the computers and machines achieve parity (hell, maybe even dominance) the white collar paper shufflers will be recognised for the value they add to the world - very little - and those with the perpetual faint whiff of penetrating  oil and diesel will be crowned the socket set wielding Champions of humankind!

Trouble is you miss the fundamental point about how come some people come to be dominant over others.

Was it because I said “yoke?”

Nah, it seemed like you were in competition with Dempsey for who could rant the most.

 

I thought I could go on but you've proved  me wrong.

I’m not so sure it’s a single, fixed point - usefulness (dominance / importance if you like) will shift with changing times. 
 

I do recognise however that any individuals ability / willingness / capacity to capitalise upon opportunity is grounded in personality and that it is personality which dictates the levels at which some people will exploit others for their own personal gain / advancement. 
 

For every 1 person that ‘gets on’ there needs to be at least 1 opposite that needs to be exploited. Where we draw the lines is what matters. I don’t mean that in the extreme sense but it is the reality - person A employs person B and pays them a salary (hopefully they are both reasonably content) but person A has to make a profit off person B otherwise nobody puts bread on the table.

I know mate...

But...
Gatestone does at least have Palestinian Muslims on the payroll though...

They don’t have much time for the PA or Hamas.... they wouldn’t be able to operate or publish what they see in the areas under PA/Hamas control though. Very short life expectancy an’ all that...

Abbas’ elected term should have been up a decade ago, yet there he is still in power siphoning off millions $$$$ and making a major contribution to the misery of ‘his’ people.

It’s not just Israels fault Mark, surely you can see that Mark?




 

 

And this,  possibly a turning point  ( as there is far too many signatories to rubbish ...) 

European MPs in mass letter over Israel annexation

Signed by more than 1,000 parliamentarians, it calls for Israel to face "commensurate consequences".

It’s quite a rare treat to get a pants down Dempsey rant these days, not like the Mountain man days!

 

And since Trigger appears to be on a sabbatical, thought I’d just make a minor contribution!

I wonder how many of those >1000 signatories are citizens of nations than have, or still do, exercise sovereign power in overseas territories. 
 

Glass houses and first stones comes to mind....

Are you a Stoky or a Vale flavour ??er?

 

Can you imagine the response if some bird decided that “Delilah” should be removed from every karaoke machine and banned from being sung by the Stokies because it glorifies domestic violence?
 

It’s beyond bloody pathetic.

And if everyone who believed that legalised racism, homophobia, slavery, sexual discrimination , disability discrimination etc took that attitude, rather than working to change the attitudes of others that "don't give a toss" and in doing so increase the momentum of positive change by sheer volume of numbers pushing against the old ways change would never come. Old ways and traditional behaviour stick around unless people push to change the minds of others.

What are you blathering about You clown?

 

All of that which you seem to have got your panties in a twist about ALREADY has its place in the legal framework. 
 

That not good enough for you? You want “thought law” as well?

 

Bejebus.....
