Margaret Thatcher has died.

The thing that has really got me down about this is the news footage of people saying they 'will celebrate with a pint' the death of a human being. I don't believe the majority of these people even mean it. It's a herd mentality thing. Where is the humanity?

(waiting for someone to point out inhumane action caused by Thatcher led Tory government).

Too bad the ideology she stood for didn't leave with her.

It was here long before she came into power

You'd almost forget she was voted to be in the seat of pm for a pretty long time. By the people....

but one of her protégés is in power now

nope. she was genuine. this guy is a fraud. big difference. thatcher was an ideologue who couldnt escape her own ideas and beliefs, slightly deluded in her lack of empathy for certain groups of people. this guy is spineless popularity seeker wholly under the influence of banks. she had no clue about what european union was really about until the end of her career. this guy knows what it's truly about and goes along with it anyway.

wishing death on people brings to mind pagan rituals and worship of the sun, halfhuman-halfmonkeys chanting round a monolith and throwing bones into the air i understand it as being that half my country dont understand thatcher in detail but they have an instinctive tribal instinct that tells them "she is not one of us", and the other half say "hooray, she is one of us". i dont think a lot of her supporters or enemies know much about the details of her life or her personal character, which is more interesting than people realise. on a personal level she was very moral and good. though i think her ideas for privatisation were dumb and ideological in an unconservative way that put ideas before reality and people. imo she was a good person who did bad, mostly via negligence rather than design. i think most people would be evil if you gave them power. having a lot of power is quite a dangerous thing. one thing about her that seems so sad is that her children seem to hate her and didnt have any desire to be close with her. she achieved a lot with her life but then was rejected by her son and daughter. so was it worth the hassle of reaching the top if your own children hate you? i would have liked to know her answer but we can guess at that.

good:

bravery and courage after her friends were blown up in a terrorist attack in brighton

christian personal morality and strong character

proud to have difficult people and people that she didnt agree with working for her (intellectual vitality)

good debating skills and world reputation

bad:

unable to mix strength with compassion, lack of empathy

privatisation sold off the family silver to global governance bankers (stupid in the longterm)

was actually very liberal and from a liberal family. her dad was a national liberal and so was she! but conservatives (christians) take the blame for her liberal (jewish) economic ideas.

put ideas before reality (fail)

she supported the EC/EU without understanding it. when she finally understood the hoodwink, they brought in John Major (a stupid bloke who barely has any qualifications)

whats her legacy? britain is now a small island province of a new country called the European Union, which itself is in preparation for becoming a state in a World Union. Christianity is on the run. People see God as a fiction then turn on television and let themselves be influenced by a million other fictions on their screens. she didnt do anything to stop this because she didnt understand it or see it coming. in the long term thatcher is small potatoes.she had no clue about the psychology of influence. israel is preparing to slowly expand its borders to cover the entire middle east and to make the nations fight each other in needless battles as a distraction and to disrupt cultural continuity and build a global empire. so i dont see the point of caring much about thatcher or her legacy. she's just another ant on this giant rock of an ant colony that we're living on.

Wtf was up with your "Jewish" liberal economic ideas tho?

Racism is a bit like rap, in that there are three clearly-defined eras: Old School (hating Jews), Golden Age (hating black people), and New School (hating Muslims.) What you can see from that is that we’ve regressed, somewhat - bring back the days of good old skin colour, I say! None of this confusing ethnoreligious stuff.

Another thread turning into a "muslims are good/bad" shitstorm. Can we just shut down general banter already?

This is about whether Jews are good/bad, get with the programme.

It'll turn into the usual bullshit eventually

Well, you're very welcome to fuck off if you don't like it.

Say what you like about old, white, rich, male professors who don’t go to bed wondering if their house\livestock\kids are going to be a pile of chunks at the end of their driveway in the morning, rationality and clear-headedness comes pretty easy to them.

 

Nice link, I lolled

You fuck off. It's only a matter of time before compson will be in here posting walls of quotes and you sending a bunch of childish insults his way, like you two always do.

Actually I'd be more interested in seeing what kind of wacky shit Chunky posts to justify his assertions about the forthcoming Zionist one-world government. That'll be good.

threads like this make me feel much more open to the idea of shaking babies until they die. a

actually i thought this was the rational atheists thread.

and she stopped my (and many others) free milk at play time.

edit - if you're (lfeelspace) suggesting that she made the world a better place, i'd be interested to hear how.
