Thread: Time to step up for Queen and Country...

I loved that cheap, stupid movie. So many great parts.

"Scotty Doesn't Know" is on my permanent shuffle list.

The link to the flag is in the original article, see the first thread.

When I saw the title of this thread I thought,

"OMG! Leo has joined the Royal Marines!"

I'm not sure this counts as a news story - as when they changed the confidentiality laws everyone capable of thought pointed out that this would simply deter the majority from donating. Who wants a 15 year-old who got curious about their biological origins turning up on your doorstep because you wanked into a cup once?

And I'm quite disappointed by the picture - from the description I was expecting to see a Union Flag just covered in white splatters - that would have amused me more.

OC... you seem awful fond of our young Leo.
Careful mate, he's still a minor.

Thats cause you went to the bargain brand sperm donor clinic. The one I use has a hot blond give you a blow-job and she spits it in a cup.

For once, don't be a jerk.

I am fond of him. He's bright and thoughtful beyond his years. He has the gumption to intelligently discuss politics with older citizens of a foreign country, and do it so well that we only know his age because he tells us. At his age, most young men in our country couldn't offer a cogent political paragraph.

Being a teenager and embracing serious, broad and deep thought on a wode spectrum of issues while fostering true concern and compassion are burdens that almost every youth eschews. There are always prices to pay for such early personal development, and I think he knows this.

Of those youths I have known that accept the weight of such a nature, many have been unable to deal with the results later in life.

He is invariably kind, considerate and thoughtful.

Why should I not be fond of him?

What?

I can't decide if that's simply presumptuous or downright patronizing.

"The weight of such a nature"? You mean arguing political and cultural topics that you've read about and observed before you're 21?

OC is right that most kids dont know jack shit about politics. Listening to my sister try to interperet the evening news is oftentimes both amusing and frustrating.
