@fesshole My dad’s been gone for nearly 22 years and I’m not ‘over’ it. You don’t just ‘get over it.’ I didn’t deal with his death at the time and ‘got on with my life.’ It hit me a year later and it’ll hit you.
No individual and no generation has had enough personal experience to ignore the vast experience of the human race that is called history. Yet most of our schools and colleges today pay little attention to history. And many of our current policies repeat mistakes that were made, time and again, in the past with disastrous results.
@ishirubi@jk_rowling@alexmassie It was like that at my schools, especially secondary. The bullies got away with all sorts, but heaven help anyone who retaliated.
@Danny_McMoomins Parenting experts aren’t self- appointed, self- righteous know alls who never make parents feel bad. More so if the expert has no children.
@JulianPowerVO@anon_opin I heard a lot with my ex. He’d call anyone born ‘higher up’ than him “toffs@ & “snobs.” He’d also call anyone who bettered themselves snobs particularly if they were what he called working class. Hadn’t heard the word for years until now.
