Hey ALFGARNETT love your posts man! You are a guy who talks absolute sense and I respect that.
What can be done with Britain now?? Nothing, the malaise is too deep and it's too late.

There's certainly a great deal of cash to be made from death. Why are cancer death sticks legal but marijuana illegal?? They both cause damage.

I just wonder what the suicide rate's going to be for 2008/2009?? Something horrendous I'd imagine. Not that too many posters here would give a damn.

Why don't they sack 100% of employees. They'll make fantastic cost savings.

Hope NEC will not become No Employees Company
Let's get it over and done with now. Every company sacks all workers, just think of the cost reduction! Well we seem to heading in this direction anyway.

The world's economy has truely collapsed and we are now in a different age. The age of naked capitalism is over. For one thing I would certainly expect workers in japan to no longer be prepared to give up their lives to their companies as though they were their lovers... And if that means they can have a life that's got to be a good thing. But this economic depression is now so deep I can only see major riots and unrest in many countries and in some cases, the return of fascism. We need a strong leaders now...

Asa excites the crowd and Sumo certainly needs something to liven up this fast dying sport. It's about time the old gits of the JSA were put out to pasture.

What's in store for us?? Severe social unrest in many countries, including japan. Life is going to be very frightening. Even the smug "I'm all right jacks" will lose their smugness.

japan, the land of the fad strikes again. Obama hasn't done anything yet but he's treated as a God. So amusing! Obama's speeches are written by his 27 year old aide who knocks them out in Starbucks it is reported.

Police officers, prison officers, suicide counsellors, ore ore scam artisans and undertakers. These are the thriving professions that the kids should aim for.

Well, workers are no longer going to give hours and hours of free overtime to their companies as if they were servicing their lovers. Look after yourself and don't do even one minute of unpaid overtime. The company doesn't give a s*** about you, so you do likewise. Anyway japan is changing in an instant. Early next year there will be mass street protests by the vast army of hopless unemployed leading to social unrest and riots. It's going to get very hot out there so get ready people. Better get ready to defend yourself.... And too, what the hell is the suicide rate going to look like for this year?? Frightening. Not that the J government gives a damn of course.
