    In fairness though, Ruth’s closer to a bald man, than she is a pretty woman.

    This thread is why Statistics should be bet into students at second level.

    The ultimate nightmare for most socialists would be having to work in a socialist workers republic.

    You can have that one for free, OP.

    True. How many poets does North Korea need?

    Mussolini was bald and short but at the same time had 6 children and younger lovers.

    You wouldn’t catch Mussolini going around wearing a shapeless wool jumper.

    OP has a point, to be fair. I'd like to add to the extensive list;

    Jeff Bezos
    Warren Buffet
    Steve Ballmer
    The Donald

    There does indeed seem to be a causal link.
    So then, if we can just eliminate socialists then we'll have cured male pattern baldness.

    Do you think if we found a cure for male pattern baldness that it would eliminate socialism?

    You’ll never eliminate socialism. There’s a pecking order, and uncompetitive people will always sit at the bottom of it.

    I hate socialism and the left but I love communism, in socialism some people work very hard to get their needs satisfied and some people do nothing and get their needs satisfied, in communism everybody works very little and everybody gets very little.

    Oh I don't know. Five minutes, or less, on Google will throw up the following, just off the top of my head.
    All good, woke, guardians of safe spaces, minders of vocabulary and insistent on "inclusiveness to all"!
    None of them could be described as "Bears" (or could they? ;))
    I could go on but life is too short.

    A capitalist is a man too cowardly to fight and too fat to run.

    There's certainly an element of that to it.


    Nature across all animal species seems to follow that pattern . Survival of the fittest, the strong rising to the top etc.


    Seems the socialist bashers don't really know what socialism is or what capitalism is. They think they have a grasp on both economic models but are really just gas-bagging.


    They're also happy to avail of evil social programs like public transport, free libraries, universal healthcare, subsidised education, unemployment benefits, children's allowance, public parks, beaches and playgrounds, etc.

    I meant the common weed smoking, soy latte swilling Irish socialist, who says stuff like “eat the rich”. I’ve never come across one of these guys, who’s been physically impressive in any way at all.

    Don't believe you. I bet you come across guys who are not physically impressive all the time... maybe even twice in Tuesday's

    I’ve no problem paying taxes, although I think the current tax structure in this country discourages progression and innovation.

    We need to encourage career progression and development, not discourage it.

    Nope, but I’m pretty sure that these guys have been “full time activists” their whole life. I’m pretty sure none of them have actually held a proper job in their lives.

    If you’re that concerned about being exploited, start your own business and stop expecting something for nothing.

    Look at Paul Murphy, Boyd Barrett, Gino Kenny etc. All of them are suffering from some form of male pattern baldness.

    There also all under 6 ft. Do these people simply have weak genetics?

    Sure look at Micheál Martin :confused:
