You can be who you want to be, don't let set backs early in life hold you back

So, I have no friends. Not just that, I don't socialise either. I don't go out - I don't want to be that guy who is chatting to people like a crazy person. But I'm okay with that. The reason is simple. When you are young and are at nursery or school, you are effectively trapped with the same people for X amount of years. So you kind of have to socialise with them because if you don't then you will be lonely like me. So you can socialise as little as you need to get you through it, but then after you finish school you don't need to speak to them ever again. I don't anymore and I shouldn't feel bad about it. Because I didn't fit in with that group of people and still don't. So why should I try if it just constantly gets me down? At university it is far easier, you can chat and socialise with people you actually have things in common with, this is true for the various clubs etc. You don't have to get on with everyone because you are only h

Do Video games actually cause violence? And if so do books and movies cause it too?

For some reason whenever there is a major crime or mass shooting, video games get the blame. It's a very weak argument and a very stupid one to make too. I know a lot of people that play video games and a lot of them don't even play first person shooters, so if you're telling me that someone that plays the sims or mine craft or train simulator is going to be a mass shooter because "Video games cause violence" you can piss off. It's a very stupid argument, the people who commit mass shootings have mental health problems, combine this with a racist leader and easy to access weapons and that is how they happen. Notice how they are very rare in other countries? I mean, the fact that the leader is telling people to go back to their own countries is fucking stupid anyway. Especially when you are in the public eye and have people watch your every move. I do question the whole idea that video games cause violence, I mean on one hand it kind of makes sense because yo

America doesn't have a gun problem?

In the past week, America has had 3 mass shootings, or should I correct myself - 3 were reported in the UK. I will clarify this in a minute, but I would like to point out that America has gone too far into the abyss of owning guns to be able to come out of it. They are a regular occurrence in America and that is the problem, they have clearly very poor gun laws. There are a lot of problems with mental health etc too related to this, but this is coming down to the problem of people being able to buy a gun too easily with no background check. America has had 3 publicised mass shootings in the last week: California, El Paso and Dayton. Yet how many mass shootings have occurred in the year to date? 251. That's right, more than 1 a day has occurred so far this calendar year. Between the California shooting (28th July) to the El Paso shooting (3rd August) there were 8 mass shootings where 4 or more people got shot or killed(total of 37 between them). That is insane! The fact that 8 mas

Isn't it funny how every online dating profile is the same?

I'm noticing something very funny when it comes to online dating, that being that every single person wants someone who's different, but exactly the same. I want a guy that's nice, a guy that will look after me, will like to go on a night out but also enjoy a night in on the sofa with a takeaway. He must be over 6 foot tall, he must enjoy travelling, I want a man that wants to build a life together and who isn't afraid to meet my parents. There are so many things that are so vague, I know it's difficult to write about yourself we all know that. But seriously? I can send the same opening line to 20 different women, all with the same about me section and get no responses. That's probably to do with my face more than the message, but even then, all they want is someone hot who will fit the social norm and will treat them like a queen. Fuck that! I mean will she even treat her man like a king? Even if you talk to someone on a dating website, all they are after i

Brexshit, Bellend Boris and Jeremy Cunt

Well It finally happened, what we all expected happened. Boris Johnson, the king of stupidity and the comedic ignoramus has become prime minister of the UK. It's not surprising, most people expected it and he hasn't exactly got a hard act to follow. I mean Theresa May was something special in her own right, but Boris is taking the lunacy of the UK political system to new heights. The guy who actively supported the remain party won and now leads us into what will most likely be a no deal brexit. Well fuck. I cannot believe that other MPs like him, he is constantly changing his mind and doing things that are different to what he originally said. He supported the European Union years ago and now thinks differently? It has been obvious for sometime that he has wanted to be PM, but he clearly knows fuck all about the general public and refuses to actually discuss things that are important or make a decision on anything. It just annoys me that someone so detached can pretend to b

Somehow it's okay to be racist now? and Boris Johnson is a bell end

I am constantly amazed at how a certain world leader (we will call him Wonald Dump) can out-do himself. He is often in the headlines for being a complete and utter wanker but now part of the plan of making a country marvellous again has reached new heights. Somehow racism and getting a crowd to shout "Send them home" is acceptable? They were born in the fucking country that they are representing. And yes they are women of colour and of different religion but why the fuck does that matter? It's unbelievable considering that America is meant to be the big melting pot. Especially as the only true Americans are the American Indians. Wonald Dump is actually of Scottish and German Heritage, so why isn't he sent home too? The reason is because he is a big fucking child and seems to think that if you shout it that it must be true. It's this kind of child like thinking that he has used throughout all of his life, but he is a man who has gone bankrupt before and has a str

Paper carrier bags are bad for the environment and why people don't give a fuck about it

I don't know if you saw recently, but Sir David Attenborough was at Glastonbury music festival to advocate recycling and how we all have to look out for the planet. I fully agree with him - we all do. But that is the problem, we all agree on the face of it but how many people are actually willing to act about it? The reason I ask is because he got one of the biggest cheers of the festival, but the place was still left like a shit hole at the end of it and was covered in rubbish and tents etc. So I ask you this, either you "care" about the environment so your friends don't think you're a dick or you do care and just left the place like a dump anyway. Confusing huh? Now I know that I sound like an arsehole and I am an arsehole don't get me wrong, but I work in the food packaging industry and know more than the average person about recycling and the direction that we are going in (UK primarily). I am aware too that I sound rather up myself with how I wrote th
