    I just found out the world's most popular soft drink is black, so I can retract my letter of outrage about milk to Dame Susan Devoy.

    I'm confused here, what does the coffee you drink say about you ? Also water has no colour at all and don't get me started on soup, sometimes it's green ffs. The politcizing of liquid is clearly a minefield .

    @jegga I sometimes take my coffee with cream. Cream as they say "rises to the top." I never fail to stop and consider for a long moment the symbolism of black brothers once peacefully inhabiting the cup being invaded and subjugated by the cultural jackboot of the overpowering white minority entrenched at the top of the cup.

    Sometimes I just avoid confronting my own white privilege, up to four cups a days.

    That being said, I should further acknowledge the original cultural appropriation of coffee from the Ethiopians (and latterly from the Yemenis, who although they may have acquired the taste of coffee while slaving).

    Coffee related facts from Wiki. Guilt from deep within.

    But just consider what drinking straight black coffee means. What kind of imagine does that convey? A white person literally consuming all that is black captured in the slave ship that is the cup. Worse is black coffee with sugar, a commodity built on the backs of black slaves. Privilege most definitely has to be checked.

    Vaxxed hit the screens yesterday. Well, by screens I mean the TV screen in the basement of Winger's parents house, as it has rightfully been banned in most city's around the world.

    Why did they choose to screen it on August 2nd? Because that is World Autism Awareness Day. These people can 100% get fucked, that is actually pretty fucking offensive to families that are dealing with Autism, of which basically none buy into this bullshit at all.

    We have a mental health issue that needs more understanding and awareness (for those of you that have never had anything to do with an Autistic person my experience is that it's more a different way of seeing/experiencing the world then an outright disability) but instead the whole conversation constantly gets hijacked by the shit-for-brains idiots that desperately want to believe in a conspiracy, ANY conspiracy, even if the source is one of the most unethical, untrustworthy piece of shit that ever walked the earth.

    @No-Quarter I can't read comments from anti-vac people. They just make my head explode with the sheer stupidity and selfishness. And complete absence of logic of how diseases were conquered in the world - and how easy it would be for them to slither back in and wreck lives/kill again.

    @No-Quarter in the comments there's all sorts of nonsense about the autism rates rising because of mmr.

    Or to look at it more honestly we have a much better understanding of autism and the spectrum so more people are being diagnosed with it now .

    Autism is thrown around as a diagnosis the same way millions of fat chicks around the world believe they are fat and smell because they are gluten intolerant...

    'My kid is a shit and yells alot, he/she must have autism, wait it started to appear the day after they had that vaccination'...

    @Virgil I remember the case about the two dickheads at the airport from a year or two back and the selfish reaction form the lawyer-parents. Someone on here said at the time that the action and subsequent reaction would come back to bite these guys in the arse as it would keep cropping up.

    And here we have it. Darwinism. Isn't it great?

    Ugh. WTF is wrong with these boys? Being dicks on social media aside, these aren't harmless pranks. The airport incident and the petrol incident are serious. Setting roads on fire especially is dangerous and costs a fuckton to repair.

    Spoilt little shits need a harsh life lesson. Like perhaps a forced term at a decile 1 high school. And their parents can get fucked too.

    This entitled behaviour is precisely why my boys will NOT be going anywhere near schools like this when they're older. I'd much rather they kept it real with the common folk than risk getting a flawed view of the world with hoity toity fuckheads.
