According to Zeitgiest you should not support team sports which are designed control the masses and reinforce our evil capitalist competitiveness. Yeah or it's just a a football match loved by millions.
FWIW, I think Capitalism has had its day, if it ever had a day. At most its days are not long. A couple of decades, maybe. I'm not communist or socialist either. Probably fairest or humanist. Any 'ist' where people don't have to go hungry or be in fear of their lives or security. In a world where, for there to be winners there have to be losers, it's not workable. In a game, winning and losing is fine. In life, it's a killer - literally.
Children! Calm down 'On the Bus' Fran's post's are fair and insightful. WHY do politics have to ruin a football forum!!! FWIW, Bankers are to$$ers, BUT, we need them and they will get us out of it. Banks on the other hand... Let's get back on topic. Nigel Adkins Football Genius....Discuss
My income has been decimated by interest rates of 0.5% and like everyone of my age I have never been a borrower and live well within my means. So why am I poor and the bankers are rich? For someone to become richer others have to become poorer. It is a bit like the lottery buy a ticket and you are poorer but you have given that money to whoever wins. So they have become richer and you are poorer. Social divisions in society are greater today than they were during the reign of Queen Victoria. The next step in the onward march of capitalism is outright slavery and don't tell me I am mad we have seen it already. Greed is what drives capitalism and it is greed that will destroy it. Up the revolution let us man the barricades. Bags I get to shoot the Eton Tory Toffs and their banker chums when we win.
We will continue to be in World financial do do's until we can get parity with the Pound against the Matabele Gumbo Bean.
