Eddie: Right - I, the proposed accused, think that, well, I mean, you know, well the day in question was not a good day for me, all right? But I put it to you that I don't see how any day could have been good the way this bloody country's run. Well, you know, I was just trying to do my best, trying to get from A to B, do a little shopping. I was trying to take control of my life, you know, only to find that it's actually controlled for me by petty bureaucracy and bits of bloody paper - ignorant bloody petty rules and laws that just obstruct every tiny little action until you've committed a crime without even knowing it! I mean, you know, why can't life just be made a little easier for everybody, eh? Why can't it be more like the Continent, and then run down the street in front of charging bulls whilst letting fireworks off out of his bloody nostrils without anyone blinking an eye? Uh? Because it's probably a local holiday and nobody's at work because they all want to have just a little bit of fun and they're not intimidated by some outdated work ethic. I mean, there has to be more to life than just being safe...
Judge: Is there a point to all of this?
Eddie: [explaining to the judge her problems with the law] Yes, Yes!... Why, oh why, do we pay taxes, hmmm? I mean, just to have bloody parking restrictions- and BUGGERY-UGLY traffic wardens, and BOLLOCKY-pedestrian-BLOODY-crossings?... and those BASTARD railings outside shops windows, making it so difficult, so you can't even get in them! I mean, I know they're there to stop stupid people running into the street and killing themselves! But we're not all stupid! We don't all need nurse-maiding. I mean, why not just have a Stupidity Tax? Just tax the stupid people!
Patsy: [stands up] And let them DIE!

Eddie: Mother, are you still on the computer?
Gran: Yes, dear. Sometimes you get into a porn loop and just can't get out.

My father had a saying for everything. One of them that has stuck with me all through the years was:

"I'm so poor I don't have a pot to piss in nor a window to throw it out of"

I've come to appreciate that sentiment

"He has all of the virtues I dislike and none of the vices I admire." Winston Churchill

 

[W!nston]

This is one of my favorites:

"We are all in the gutter, but some of us are looking at the stars." Oscar Wilde

 

[W!nston]

"Always forgive your enemies - nothing annoys them so much." Oscar Wilde

 

[W!nston]

Anonymity is liberating. We all use avatars when we move around the internet. We feel free to speak our mind from behind the mask of our avatar. It's nothing new...

"Man is least himself when he talks in his own person. Give him a mask, and he will tell you the truth." Oscar Wilde

"He has all of the virtues I dislike and none of the vices I admire." Winston Churchill

I just love Churchill's eloquence as a speaker - it's hard to pick a favourite, but I do love his put-down of MP Bessie Braddock:

Bessie Braddock MP: "Winston, you are drunk, and what's more you are disgustingly drunk."
Churchill: "Bessie, my dear, you are ugly, and what's more, you are disgustingly ugly. But tomorrow I shall be sober and you will still be disgustingly ugly."

 

[BearGut4Yngr]

"You're never too old for dreams or too young for reality."

 

[mmarty]

Nothing is impossible for someone who doesn't have to do it themselves.

 

[slimjim]

Another of Churchill's:

Sir Wil­fred Pal­ing shouted at Winston during a parliamentary debate, calling him a “dirty dog!”

Churchill's reply was: “The Hon. Mem­ber should realise what dirty dogs do to pal­ings.”


( "Piss on them" being what he was meaning )

Only the dead have seen the end of war - Plato

 

[dargelos]

The modern conservative is engaged in one of man's oldest exercises in moral philosophy; that is, the search for a superior moral justification for selfishness.
John Kenneth Galbraith.
