A bounder and a cad. Unfortunately, history is littered with excellent leaders who weren't very nice people.
In my experience, every single person I've come across who has used the word "snowflake" (in that context) has also been thick as pigshit.
Fair point, I just hate these "buzzwords". I find they are overwhelmingly used by idiots trying to sound clever, in lieu of actually putting a coherent argument together.
Tend to agree with this. The original context in which these terms are used are often misinterpreted (possibly deliberately) so that by the time they enter wider usage they're meaning has shifted anyway. As is the case with this Daily Star headline.
Love this mate, and even if we cannot be sure if it says back to Socrates what is known is that it was quoted a number of times in the 50s regarding the young people of then. As a human being you can only ever expect to know a minuscule amount of all that is known. We're talking fractions of 1 percent here. Even things you specialise in will have areas you know nothing about. Stupid people aren't ones who don't know things they're ones with no appreciation of what they don't know. I don't think it's worse than it used to be it's just that it's much easier for stupid people to get their voices heard nowadays and people are seemingly less interested in actual facts.
There are "Stupid" people and there are "Ignorant" people. Stupid people do not have the capacity to learn, ignorant people do not want to learn or refuse to listen to facts even though they are self evident. Generally I find that people who use the term "Snowflake" fall into the latter category.
There are "Stupid" people and there are "Ignorant" people.and all are Corbynistas who can't see the truth,with heads so far up their arses they belive any old ****e spouted, more radicalised than a Ji..di
I speak to people who dream of a return to the halcyon days when we were "Great Britain", and we will be "Great" again after "Brexit". None of them are aware that we are known as "Great Britain" because we live on the largest (greatest) Island of the British Isles. They actually think we are known as "Great" because we are/were great in the context of very good. Nostalgia isn't what it used to be.
Canny weird reading that quote from old Socrates there seeing as the authorities had him executed for corrupting the youth. I'm guessing he told them to tidy their rooms and give the slaves a good sweeping.
