 Despite the oil industry, farming, fishing, whisky and sundry other stuff Donald Trump, Alex Salmond and the Aberdeenshire Council would have you believe the North East of Scotland needs golf.

 My neighbour is a golf pro. If not for golf he'd be phucked.

Also, if not for Caddyshack then stoners of a certain vintage would've been even more lost. Poor souls.

American womanhood definitely needs golf. Imagine if Tiger had nothing else to do...

 The makers of plaid trousers. They'd be ruined. They need all the help they can get.

Alice Cooper and Iggy Pop would both be back on the hard drugs if they didn't have golf to obsess over.

Students everywhere would have to work during summer "vacations" rather than pretend to check if people had paid to get on courses. Students like me in days past. That would've sucked balls.

The dads are a metaphor for countries, I was joking about yours and Shifty's one-upmanship about your respective countries. I was thinking about going for a pissing contest metaphor, but preferred the the dads fighting one because it made me chuckle when I thought of it.

You did understand that it was mocking one-upmanship, though, right? That I was replying in a flippant manner? I was actually going to reply with 'my dad is bigger than your dad' but decide against it so at least you spotted that

 James Cameron on climat change
-------------------------------------------------
Part of the Titanic parable is of arrogance, of hubris, of the sense that we’re too big to fail. Well, where have we heard that one before?

There was this big machine, this human system, that was pushing forward with so much momentum that it couldn’t turn, it couldn’t stop in time to avert a disaster. And that’s what we have right now.

Within that human system on board that ship, if you want to make it a microcosm of the world, you have different classes, you’ve got first class, second class, third class. In our world right now you’ve got developed nations, undeveloped nations.

You’ve got the starving millions who are going to be the ones most affected by the next iceberg that we hit, which is going to be climate change. We can see that iceberg ahead of us right now, but we can’t turn.

We can’t turn because of the momentum of the system, the political momentum, the business momentum. There too many people making money out of the system, the way the system works right now and those people frankly have their hands on the levers of power and aren’t ready to let ‘em go.

Until they do we will not be able to turn to miss that iceberg and we’re going to hit it, and when we hit it, the rich are still going to be able to get their access to food, to arable land, to water and so on. It’s going to be poor, it’s going to be the steerage that are going to be impacted. It’s the same with Titanic.

I think that’s why this story will always fascinate people. Because it’s a perfect little encapsulation of the world, and all social spectra, but until our lives are really put at risk, the moment of truth, we don’t know what we would do. And that’s my final word.
-----------------------------


If the passengers in steerage knew there were not enough life boats, that the rich would be able to buy their way on to boats going out half full, and that the captain had no intention of slowing down through ice choked waters, shouldn't they have risen up and demanded a change of leadership on the ship?

Any thoughts? I don't think it will really change much. If you're that hung up about gay marriage then you were never going to vote for Obama anyway.

Good to see the right wing are as predictable as always in their response.
