This is the Conversation Forum for Talking Point: Now and Then Drifter >> Subject: Well, thanks a bunch, you daft young git... Posted Feb 14, 2003 by Pinniped   Posting 1 My younger self doesn't deserve an opinion. Bl**dy idiot. He had the talent. He had the looks. He could have embarked on a lifetime of wanton hedonism; drunk, drugged and shagged himself stupid, and silver-tongued his way into any money-dripping, parasitic career he fancied. But the prat had a conscience, so we had to go and do something economically-relevant and socially-worthwhile. Except that it wasn't, because Margaret Thatcher promptly set about venerating the parasites. God Knows what the present incumbent of No. 10 stands for, but it certainly wasn't foreseen by Teen-Moron back then. I've made a belated attempt to eschew moral standards, but I find I'm too old to manage more than about three Deadly Sins at a time. Let that be a lesson to you whipper-snappers* out there. Fall early. Decadence becomes only the young. After all, you've got a lifetime to get over it. Pin (* come to think of it, whipping the odd snapper is precisely the kind of thing I missed out on...)

And they have free medical when you want to stop or have contracted a "social disease." Read the First Reply to this Posting Subject: Well, thanks a bunch, you daft young git...

Posted Apr 2, 2003 by Mergatroyd McGlubb...incompetently lurking This is a reply to this Posting   Posting 9 Well, you see... last summer there was this expose (how do you make the little accent marks, anyway?) by Fox News (tm) on how the U.S. Army is condoning prostitution and slavery in Korea. So the pointers are kind of dated now. But the main one is (if you are serious about it, but don't want to endanger your life): Go to Korea. Very safe, condoms at the whore districts (of which there are many) and the booze and cigarettes are cheap if you don't mind a certain lack of quality.
