I sometimes wonder about the future of the white race, given all the mixed race relationships which are becoming more and more common.

Dave Chappelle reckons we're all going to end up 'beige', and to be honest I find it hard to disagree.

I just wonder what the world will be like without white people.

A lot less freckly and ginger.

Maybe Europeans as we know them will disappear but I don't see the Chinese, Japanese, Indians, Indonesian Muslims and Africans going anywhere. Theres simply too many of them and their languages (even French is complicated for me) are far too complicated for people to easily enter into family relationships en masse. There would need to be a massive consolidation first of languages or the invention of a universal translator.

I agree, though would add Europeans to that list too. Yes more people are having kids with different populations than before, but the overall number of the populations is growing at a higher rate. The simple fact is the vast vast majority of people marry within their population . We're a loooong way from beige people.

Although the percentage of "whites" will drop there will be more whites in the world in 2050 than 1900 for instance.

Breaking Bad is gick.

Atheists can be as sanctimonious and pontificating as religious people and are often more self-righteous.

Germany isn't bailing out Ireland, it's bailing out its own banks and we're paying interest for the privilege of being the intermediary.

Irish women in the nineties spent all their time complaining about Irish men (OMG, you can't find a good one). The noughties brought in an influx of Asian and European women who are intelligent, attractive and didn't see every relationship as a power struggle. Any sensible Irish male would be well advised to leave their high maintenance Irish female counterpart in the rearview mirror. Much better options out there.

As Groucho Marx said: These are my principles. If you don't like them, I have others.

One bad one I have is aid for Africa, people kill me over this one.

Was talking to a few environmental engineers in the past and they were explaining how apart from the exploitation by dodgy governments the biggest problem in Africa is over population.

Providing food aid for these countries is an insane short term solution as you are just pushing the problem onto the next generation that survive this food shortage and onto the next.

It obviously is terrible when people die of starvation etc. but what kind of life are they having if they get through it? Basically watching their kids die of starvation in 10 years time??

sbsquarepants · 11-07-2012 08:24AM

The biggest problem in africa, is not lack of food or water - they are problems but they could be quite easily overcome. The problem is corruption, war and tribal war lord mentalities. To put it simply, their "leaders" are generally speaking despots who rob the often unimaginably vast resources of the country to settle personal grudges, fund feuds, gold plate their shacks and so on. Practicaly every country in africa could not only support itself, but thrive and very likely surpass the west in terms of wealth - if they just ran the place properly. It doesn't matter how much aid is thrown at them, they will starve untill they get some fúcking cop on!

For me it has it's moments, but yep I'd agree more than I wouldn't. I found it interesting that the other sitcom from the same stable Two and half men(the early sheen version) garnered all sorts of hating from interweb critics, yet the BBT is lauded. 2 and half men was quite "subversive" for a network show. The main character was a drunken misogynist louche who very uncommonly for US shows rarely got his comeuppance, indeed usually profited from his attitudes, yet his "nice guy" brother always ended up being screwed. It's portrayal of women was surprisingly harsh too. They were either harpies, gold diggers, loons or whores with the notable exception of the housekeeper. I found it about as funny at times as tBBT, but more interesting as a concept on US TV.

I reckon that tBBT is lauded by a chunk of interweb types is because it's a show they identify with. Even though it laughs at them. The sheldon character is the butt of jokes fairly constantly, yet he is played, especially in the early days as a person with mental illness like OCD with high level asbergers to boot. There was an element of let's laugh at the social retard about it.

*Unpopular opinion* The Penny wan is cute, but not that cute save for the gym honed bod and she won't age well.

That will happen when we stop drinking as a nation, i.e. never.

South Park is both clever and funny, its gotten consistently better over the years, some of the jokes are razor sharp in it.

I find Chinese takeaway food to be bland and very unfilling compared to traditional Italian chipper stuff or American franchises.

Friends is a perfectly fine mainstream comedy. Southpark is ok too. The rest I give you.

I despair if this is what's considered subversive. Blatant lazy paycheck vehicle for Mr. Sheen to keep him in the lifestyle to which he has grown accustomed.

Not keen on BBT either.

That's hardly a reason for someone NOT to like a show though, is it? Important to have a sense of humour about oneself, no?

She was never really good looking but she had a good body until she started bodybuilding.
I can't look at female bodybuilders I just think muscles look horrible on women.
And their boobs seem to all but disappear as well.

People who use the world Oz, Aussie, Ozzie to talk about Australia and Australias probably have the intelligent of a pineapple.

Similarly I log into the Australia forum just to cringe at the people in the "Travel Buddy to Australia" thread saying they are nervous about getting on a ****ing plane. It's retarded.

Furthermore people who go to Australia are doing us a huge favour as in general most of them are idiots. I know about 200 people there and to be honest I'm surprised they are not incarcerated. It's unfortunate most of them will go back to Ireland.

Aaaah, you've been to AH before, right? This is a very popular viewpoint. Plus, apparently lots of AH men spend their time fighting off Czech supermodels. And, I don't know why, but every post made by a man who claims there are better women abroad and allude to the fact that they're taking advantage of that fact, still can't seem to help coming across as bitter. You're no different. Why is that? That despite apparently having great success with foreign ladies, ye're posts drip with bitterness? Hmmm.

How many "whites" are there actually left in the world though? I'd also be pretty sure that in mixed-race marriages there are more whites involved than statistically expected.

Check out the difference between now and when the show started if you catch an old episode. I wouldn't say she's aged badly but she's certainly aged a lot.

steddyeddy · 11-07-2012 07:06PM

Im not a huge fan of the big bang theory either. Its often cited as being an intelligent comedy but I dont see it to be honest. I think comedies like Bottom, blackadder or red drwarf are far more intelligent.

Good riddance to those Celtic Tiger fools. Anyone who emigrates to a country with less culture than a bottle of Yop shouldn't be allowed back here.
