Or as are in fact dolphins, huge, unfriendly ones, but still dolphins.

@MegaDixen Sounds like a very good idea. Just imagine living in a England with a population density lower than France - low house prices, plenty of space for everyone, quieter roads, you name it, it would be amazing. Pity I will never see it in my lifetime.

Almost like watching Bear Grylls and not seeing him grill a bear?

Orwell was the hero of the English teachers in my day, and quite rightly so, but I do recall this book / story being in the mix. I guess it was more about the morality of each character's behaviour than anything political in my days.

In the 60s people were still having 4 or 5 kids (I am one of 5). Then we went through a period of people being encouraged to have more kids due to child benefit payments etc. which resulted in some very large families for poor people.

@joshuakhaos4451 But what problem is there with a decreasing population? In these times when you don't need a huge workforce in any country due to technology you will only end up with lots of very poorly paid or unemployed people. Just think, 20 years ago it took dozens of men to build a car, now it is virtually all automated. Go back to the 30s and a reasonable sized farm would employ 20 or 30 people. Nowadays 3 or 4 people can do all the work.

@dilpickles5928 Basically it is evolution and nature sorting itself out.

@noelienoelie8425 Really rich people and in fact anyone in a bigger business rely on poorer people to work for them and to buy their products to keep them rich.
7
@wyleecoyotee4252 Nobody does as the social pressures to be just another sheep keeping the flock growing are no longer there.
7
@mogznwaz Nothing wrong with being a perpetual teenager, it has worked fine for me. As you get older it is not the latest "toy" (in the traditional sense, like a computer game) that you can buy but a big yacht or motorhome and big boys toys for your hobbies.
7
@dantesparda7719 It certainly won't be good for the wealthy who rely on ever increasing numbers of poor people for cheap labour to keep them in the style they feel they deserve and it won't be for those who make obscene profits from housing (building or renting).
7
@rabidsminions2079 With technology there will be much less need for a large workforce and early indications show that the aging population will start to decline as later generations will not be living so long for various reasons.
6
@TonyZmex What "they" are you on about? Big businesses rely on increasing population to sell more products and make more money.
6
@dantesparda7719 Even weirder comment? Why have so many people fallen for the myth that a smaller population is a bad thing when it can only be a good thing for everyone. Less poverty in the world, less unemployment, you name it, it can only be a good thing. With the ever decreasing need for a large workforce due to automation etc it is what the world needs.
6
@VeraldoAncodini Virtually all gold was stolen at some time or another.
6
It is supposedly what made him so brave! If only they had the BCG vaccine in those day's he would have lived much longer!

@RRHandle When I think back to when the UK population was around 50 million and how nice the country was you can clearly see that there just isn't the space for 70 plus million and you understand all the problems that is causing.

Who is interested (genuinely) in the pain of others other than virtue signallers and physcopaths?

The odd thing is that one of today's leaders started out as a comedian and baited his neighbour into war.
4
That is way above 99% of people who worship many channels on here!

@thathandsomedevil0828 Being replaced by who and why?

I guess wisdom is the fourth element when taken into the same context as education, intelligence and being "clever". You can be educated but neither clever or intelligent (the classic rocket scientist!). You can be clever without being educated although you will tend to be intelligent, just as intelligence tends to make you clever. Being Wise is not necessarily directly linked to any of the other 3 but tends to come to the intelligent.

Putting the world to rights down the pub!

@nosirrahx You really do have a very strange outlook on life! What on earth would be the point of what you are saying - makes absolutely no sense. By the way, who are this "they / them" that you are so worried about?
4
@mrustle5707 They have started to attack sailing yachts in the bay of Biscay
4
The French railway system seems to be very efficient and has some of the fastest "real" trains on regular services. I have no idea how it is run or who owns it but it seems to be a good model.
4
Fascism and nazism are subtlety different things.
4
 @tangoalpha1905 WTF are you on?
4
@shadowpriest2574 And you know how backwards countries where that is the case are!
4
@shadowpriest2574 For a start, it is you who seems to want rules & limitations in place. As for only wanting to change things if they benefit you then that applies to nearly everyone to a degree - even changing who can vote like you want to will benefit you.

Why did the Ukrainian comedian effectively declare war on Russia when half his people are actually Russians? Ordinary Ukrainian people would be no worse off under Putin than they were before.
3
@chrisredding6673 Totally agree there, I worked with Parisians but love the people from rural France- they are so proud of who they are (in terms of culture) yet so laid back and friendly.
3
@hosmerhomeboy The biggest concern that all decent & honest people have is about how much "more" can be gained honestly and decently. The concept of "to every man his worth" is what enters into it. Do you honestly believe those who tend to be branded the "Elite" these days should use all their power and money just to make more and to control anyone with less than them?
3
QuesadillaQuest808 Always look on the bright side, be prepared to take chances, be honest and always treat others how you would wish them to treat you until they prove unworthy.
3
@dantesparda7719 OK, if you seriously think it is not good, please explain in detail and not emotionally why it is not a good thing or better still why it is a bad thing.
3
@stefanisilva2493 I have been driven through parts of Rio and to European eyes it seems terrible, mind you parts of Portugal are not a lot better with at least one large squatter camp I know of not far from Lisbon.
3
So much for greed and capitalism!
3
It is so odd, but I have only ever really seen the opposite to many of the side effects regularly quoted. Women who are seriously randy and as a consequence walk round with a big grin on their faces! My Mrs completely avoided menopause by staying on the pill longer than normal. It has allowed my three sisters to live great lives.
3
An interesting point you raise regarding guns and bank robbers in the UK. Did you know that more people got seriously injured in the days before guns became widely used?
3
I would suggest American cooks would take hell to a whole new level!
3
@namastereciprocity4549 I ate at the famous Dallas tower resto and was very pleased with the food, I have to say. I have also eaten some fantastic Mexican food and Asian food out there. Sadly, much of what I was served was just big portions of bland stuff.
3
@rtg5881 oh dear, that is why I am a Libertarian!
3
@shadowpriest2574 It wasn't long ago in the UK that very many men did not have the right to vote, in fact right up until just before women got it. As for work, it was never a "right" for men but a necessity or even compulsory.
3
Intelligence is nothing to do with the accumulation of knowledge - that is education. I have known many intelligent people who were quite uneducated and more than a few educated people who were far from intelligent - genuine rocket scientists who could hardly change a light bulb!
2
The consequences of religious zealots can be seen in many places! They are not good!
2
Clamidia and gross obesity are big contributors to infertility, it is natures way of controlling population as there are currently way too many people on the planet. Just look how our countryside is being dug up for new houses and how house prices are going through the roof.
2
Dear Buragi, it looks like your comment in reply to one of mine has "got lost". I can tell you that a great many people on YouTube do seem to worship channels on both sides of the fence from animal rights nutters who hang on every word of some vegan ranter to out and out merchants of hatred who believe everything someone who purports to share their views. There are many who challenge or question the views of those on either side of the fence with honest reasoning and arguments.
2
@evilemperorzurg9615 You want to watch yourself saying a tiger isn't sentient - that will up set the animal rights looines!
2
@orirune3079 Good point there, but still disappointing.
2
@helenmalinowski4482 I guess you are not aware that the ability to make witty quips on topics like this is an indication of intelligence. The ability to fawn at the feet of someone who goes against the grain for the sake of it and believe everything their heroes say, despite them not actually offering a proper solution is something else.
2
@GodwynDi Very true, and most legendary people have put their lives at risk one way or another, it is just that the more respected ones have not killed so many.
2
Natural breast feeding is a very good method of contraception which is one of the reasons baby milk products are so bad.
2
@wyleecoyotee4252 In fact it is almost the opposite to a problem.
2
@mikeallan7740 You will actually find it is often much nearer 90% in most cases. Just look at the behaviour of BMW drivers or motorcyclists next time you drive anywhere. You will notice that 90% behave exactly as their stereotypes would predict. This is a very good way to drive safely!
2
@davidjacobs8558 The snake thing is very interesting - it seems that even in the UK with only one venomous snake, many native animals and birds are scared of them.
2
That is most peculiar as my father was as they say, a little to the left of Chairman Moa, having been born in WW1 and served in WW2 and seen all the bad things done by those in power (ie the rich). He hated the 4x2s and although he fought against him, had time for some of Adolf's ideas. He despised Americans due to their arrogance in general but had time for any decent, honest working class person.
2
@АндрейНеугодников-м6е That is what I was thinking.
2
@Tommysimonsen I did look up the Frankfurt School and it sounds quite an interesting topic.
2
If you want to see real strong women, check out Ellen MacArtur, Suzy Goodhall or Pip Hare. I doubt either of you to could match them!
2
@harrytd It rather depends on how you view capitalism - the side that has caused many of todays problems is the one where greed and selfishness has taken over - just look at some of our MPs? In theory, it can reward the hard working and honest, but so can other economic / political "isms".
2
And you trust an economist to tell you things like that? I am not sure when your grandfather was working but I doubt he had many of the things we take for granted (ie feel entitled to) today and that would make a big difference to how far his money went. His generation (like my parents) would have been very careful with their money and been prepared to go without many things to ensure their future was good.
2
I bought my first tiny studio flat around 1985 when interest rates were pretty high. It cost 3x my annual salary for quite a responsible job. My next tiny one bed starter home reached 10x my annual salary a year or two after I bought it. The equivalent salary these days for the job would be around £40k (based on what I was paid when I retired the other year).
2
One of the reasons people believe that housing is unaffordable these days is to do with expectations. I had a young guy at work say that no one would want to buy a tiny one bed starter home like my first house. He seemed to think that a 3 bed semi was a starter home!
2
@cwm6203 I am only going by what people who have used it have said about it. My only experience has been the Paris metro ( not quite as organised as the London underground or the Montreal metro, I have to say) and a quaint little local train, more like a tram that was jammed full when I went on it. I would like to know what you feel makes it efficient or not (when compared to the UK network).
2
Some make the decision after lots of thought and do it for the same reason that professional footballers play their game, lots of money to be made. Organised crime is pretty much dependent on the cash only society and cannot function in a cashless society.
2
@raypurchase801 Nearest thing to sushi I am likely to try on a regular basis!
2
As long as it is used against some of the little scroats these days, who cares - LOL
2
Pretty wise words there, although not anything really new.
2
Just ask Trump or Adolf!
2
If the Russians released all their gold, the rest of the world would be in deep trouble!
2
@VeraldoAncodini I sort of guess you are from South Africa, in which case, yes you did mine it. Not sure who the ground belonged to previously?
2
@redstarling5171 Animal Farm, through and through?
2
@Luke Perkins One of the whole concepts of true libertarianism is that there are no rules as such, the idea being that behaviour is moderated by what other people accept. Sadly it is the one thing that would cause it to fail like all other "isms" because of people.
2
The bus analogy is quite interesting - The UK (from Civil Service times) way has always been - Not many people are using the buses so we have to put up the fair to make more money. Less people use the buses so they get cancelled. It seems that in the Scandinavian countries they ask "Why are not many people using the buses? Perhaps if we lowered the fairs more people would? Suddenly instead of one old lady, three people use the bus and the economics start to change and then six people and so forth (this is in effect what the supermarkets do with their cheaper & cheaper pricing). Is this about capitalism or socialism or not about any "ism" whatsoever?
2
@TheTurnipKing Your last sentence is so true and so wise! When will people start to see that there is actually a "Middleist" (I hate the term "Centrist"!) way to do things correctly for the majority rather than either "side" benefitting unacceptably?
2
It is what happens when people become more educated and better off. That why the chavs are still breeding like rabbits.
2
@akiramiller9025 They still get married at that age in parts of the USA- lol.
2
@AmazingStoryDewd It is simple evolution, animals with a low survival rate of offspring have large numbers whereas those with a high survival rate only have one or two.
2
@shadowpriest2574 When you are old enough you can vote unless the system changes (unless I have mistaken your being an animal and not a child).
2
@MrHkl8324 But that has come about for very many reasons with the large female workforce in WW1 being a major driver. Anyway, so what if birth rates are falling, it will only benefit ordinary and poorer people as their skills and labour will be in more demand and hence command higher rates of pay.
2
 @MK_ULTRA420 They are rarely feminists
2
The number of true Americans these days is very small and those who are have few rights. All the rest are descended from economic migrants, asylum seekers and criminals.
1
@DREAMLANDSLEEEP Please think about what I said again. As is always the case with war, it is ordinary people who suffer, regardless of who is on which side. Both Russia and the Ukraine have a much darker side, although we tend not to be shown one of them. Independence from Russia was effectively bought by the West, and much like Brexit (which incidentally I voted for! ) it was a close run thing by all accounts. I am not saying that what Russia is doing is right or good, but then would Putin have attacked had he not been provoked? The "West" did very little to stop or avoid the conflict and are doing a lot to prolong it.

4x2s and capitalism! There has to be a better way?

A filament bulb will never fail if it is left switched on and is not over loaded.

Funny how these guys are so knowledgeable about the oldest profession and are able to decide why it happens?
1
@deltacharlieecho4732 My comment should have been against the Lotus Eaters who were discussing the profession as though they knew it inside and out and making judgements based on what others have said and rash assumptions.
1
I assume that by "Aussie" you mean the defendant of a criminal, asylum seeker or economic migrant and not an Aboriginal from that country?
1
A law firm blaming someone? Wow, what ever next? Think of all the money they will be racking in!
1
Which Watford crash? There was one of the biggest ever just north of Watford, near where I lived.
1
When you compare the cost of white goods 40 or 50 years ago and how long they lasted, you get a pretty good idea why they are now so cheap now and do not last that long.
1
I guess you don't like women - there is a word for that!
1
@Thule Magna I was being a little mickey taking - he did sound rather anti women did he not? I know plenty of unwise women, but have met more than a few who are pretty wise.
1
I thought you guys would have considered public transport as a bit socialist? It certainly seems to work well in socialist leaning countries?
1
@mistahsusan2650 Yep, that's it, caring about ordinary people- much like Holland and the Scandinavian countries.
1
@buffuniballer You are quite right in what you say, but sadly, most people who make great fortunes are far from ethical or moral, even if they started out that way. As you say it is all about power and how that corrupts and money gives you power and then greed takes over. At the end of the day, it is us humans and our nature that messes things up for everyone.
1
Never read so much pseudo scientific bull in a long while!
1
@hosmerhomeboy So what drives a multi millionaire to want to become a billionaire?
1
@tonygrowley5275 Sadly there are few countries like that these days. I tend to think that the Scandinavian countries seem to be the better ones when it comes to that.
1
@tonygrowley5275 How do you rate the politics in those countries? I am well aware that things are changing in those places, or rather change is being forced on them and I really hope it doesn't destroy the good things they have.
1
@tonygrowley5275 Some of what has been happening in Denmark is not good. Their way of life is being abused by people from outside who don't share their values and culture.
1
Are we all not in some way or other? Why does everyone want the biggest TV or fastest car these days? Is that not about envy or as the 10 commandments would put it "coveting"?
1
Is condemning the "Elite" for how they are running the world for their own gains envy? Who in their position would do any different? (well, actually, a TRUE socialist might, but that is another can of worms!).
1
I bet there were lots of leather harnesses but not on teddy bears! (Reference to one of their other stories/ topics).
1
@ANobodyatall Makes me feel hungry at the thought of it.
1
@seabreeze4559 Where does that fit in with envy? Or are you suggesting that some people are envious of the pleasure that others get from sex so they condemn them for what they do?
1
@rassilkrishnan3120 In saying that you could never see envy as being a positive, you seem to be going against the principles of capitalism which relies upon people continually wanting more because their neighbours have it. Why would you want to buy a bigger TV just because you have seen your neighbours one when you should be proud to accept that the one you have is much more appropriate to the size of your front room?
1
When you see the envy and resentment directed at the so called "Elite" being blamed for all the ills of the worlds in some quarters, how does that fit in?
1
@rassilkrishnan3120 Pride has it's place, but am I truly proud that I could buy my large yacht with cash because I worked hard and saved my money? No - I am glad I did so, but not what you would call proud of it, and I was not driven by envy but by desire.
1
@sailormatlac9114 Personally I feel that some forms of pride do have a place - be proud that your town is pleasant to live in or something good that you have done, but being proud of something you cannot change or influence is not so good.
1
Is there a stereotype bigot or racist? If so, then stereotypes are correct, if not then maybe they are not?
1
@GIwillo Are you saying it has or has not? It certainly has not kept up the way it used to when most people were not that far from most of the things they needed on a day to day basis.
1
@Yea_I_Got_Nothing More paranoid ramblings from a commie.
1
@seabreeze4559 Now that one is totally off the wall!
1
These guys would not know "Far right" if it bit them on the bottom! The way they rant about big business / "the elites" is not unlike "the other side"!
1
Most people come out of university with education but no knowledge, common sense and certainly no more intelligence than they started with. Says a lot about university for the last 10 plus years!
1
@nt78stonewobble I totally agree with the 90% rule - you will rarely get it wrong based on that and it is often a very pleasant surprise if ever you do.
1
@umiluv So you are saying that everyone in the UK government fits a stereotype?
1
I like the term "first nation" when describing the people who have occupied a country for a good 2 or 3 thousand years.
1
@reclaimerbear6760 No, down the pub.
1
Who ever watched or read about Robin Hood - the well know English hero? Was he a patriot fighting against the foreign oppressors and the wicked church of his day or a socialist re-distributing wealth?
1
Two young entitled persons pretending to be intellectuals, except they are not wearing ties like gentlemen should. They look and talk just like the commies of the sixties used to!

These two guys are perfect illustrations of a stereotype. BMW drivers are another typical one.
1
I suppose the current obsession with possessions and status is a modern version of these cults with Tik Tokers being the new gods.
1
I am all for it making them bi if I can join in!
1
Who out there resents the so called "Elite" with all their power and money running the world? Who out there considers Socialism / Communism to be just envy of those richer and more powerful than them than them?
1
I only ever read story books or watch movies for entertainment - I do not believe one word of any story nor let it make me think anyone is particularly right or wrong in that story. I failed English mainly because of the literature part because of this. By the way, when I was at school, all the teachers were out and out Tories and anyone vaguely working class was looked down on - How things have changed (probably due to the rebellious people from my generation?
1
Greed and entitlement is the root of all evil. People have got so used to having more & more (the capitalist ideal) for less and less that it has become the "norm". We need a big kick up the backside to get back to a sensible way of living.
1
National Socialism is the only good form that could benefit many of the normal people.
1
@Uppernorwood976 Do not tell the real French that, you will not get a polite response!
1
No wonder they thought it was the end of the world with a bunch of Yanks turning up. They must have been living an amazing life, completely free from all the bad things of modern life.
1
@TheJeremyKentBGross Sadly spending other people's money applies to many ordinary people and not just those at the top. Borrowing money for luxuries is part of it and being "bought" by promises of lower taxes is another. Tax rates in the Scandinavian countries are pretty high but so is the general standard of living.
1
@harrytd Is mass immigration necessarily a socialist policy given that it provides a source of cheap labour for employers and thus more profit for them. Was slavery socialist?
1
Your grandfather must have been pretty well paid as my parents were in much the same situation as him in many ways but we lived well outside of London near Watford. There was no way dad could have afforded to buy a house despite being in a skilled engineering job.
1
Suit jacket and jeans, how American! Or is it just trying to be "cool"?
1
@mrror8933 Once again, the French have the right idea.
1
@cwm6203 It all depends on how you assess efficiency. To an account, anything that does not make a big, easy profit is not efficient. However, to the user it may well be. All transport systems can be made more efficient but the will to do so has to come from somewhere.

@marlonmoncrieffe0728 I would suggest that the thing that made the comment is the mentally unfit one!

Is Libertarianism right or left, or is it just correct?
1
@juliantheapostate8295 So, in many ways my third option?
1
It seems so odd that at one time, 35 or so years ago, my tiny one bed starter home in Hemel Hempstead was worth 10 times my salary for a pretty good and responsible job (I retired from doing the same job effectively last year on around £45k). The reason average house prices are so high these days is because of expectations and greed.
1
I never realised until quite recently that the fighting and killing in Spain was going on until quite late, infact even when Brits were starting to go there for holidays.

A good point.

A large number of people react very badly, even fatally to peanuts and even orange juice vapour is incredibly dangerous to the son of an acquaintance. Does this mean peanuts and oranges should be banned? Wheat flour makes many people very I'll- let us ban bread?

When you hear what happened in WW1 to our troops you wonder where the Russians got the idea?

The Romans had a very good means of birth control. It involved what prudes would call unnatural acts.
1
One of my daughter in laws is American by birth and claims to have PTSD because she had a car crash! That is the way they think.
1
Why is it that today's generation seem to think middle class entitled liberals are "left" where as normal people (sometimes even with somewhat true socialist views) are "right"? The world is getting stranger and stranger by the minute!
1
They always remind me of two commies back in the day in the Student Union, spouting their message to all who would listen - even the dress code is familiar! How times have changed.
1
All these things are about capitalism - making money!
1
Who is worried about armed drones with autonomy as are being used by America? Far too close to "Terminator" for me.
1
@SuperDeadseagull I have no idea if what you say is true nor any way of proving it either way (without relying on possibly biased info from either "side"). I do know however, that power corrupts and tends not to be so much about left or right but the person with the power.

£1/2 million really is not much for a half decent house- one of ours is worth around that much!
1
@VeraldoAncodini By the way, I did not intend to insult any country who came by their gold reserves through legitimate means, just pointing out that a great deal of it was not honestly obtained.
1
@VeraldoAncodini Me, valuables, you would be lucky as I have not found any yet, LOL.
1
@VeraldoAncodini Very sorry I insulted you like that but I didn't know that your part of the world had that much gold to mine. In the UK we had some, but much of that was stolen from us by various invaders. Most of "ours" is now stolen from others in turn.
1
We still have an old fashioned filament bulb in our our bedroom that get switched on and off every night - from my reckoning it must be well over 5 years old. It is on an old fashioned dimmer switch.
1
Orwell was a very wise man as he saw through the ill's of both the left & the right. Some of his observations in "The road to Wigan pier" are incredibly true today!
1
@jhpfdijtuiweruot I see what you mean - and the much deeper meaning of it too!
1
Was there not something about "To every man his worth" at one time?
1
@allanmonroe692 Do you know why many great ideas fail? Because of greedy people who want power.

@markzuckergecko621 Just watch some German TV to see how much they love slapstick! Mr Bean is a real hit out there!

If someone said that the stereotype from country X is fat and lazy, not very clever, has appalling taste, eats huge meals of tasteless food, would not know a decent car if it ran them over, which country might that be?
1
@hosmerhomeboy I guess that is much like those who rant about the mythical "elite" in many ways?
1
@AnimaVox_ peterson one step from being a flat earth happy clapper. I used to be interested in what he had to say, but have become increasingly aware that he is much like Adolf, playing on people's fears to spread his own ideals
1
@AnimaVox_ Totally agree with you on the laying off of politics, it is far too divisive. Neither side is 100% right nor wrong. It is human nature (very sadly) for some people to use a good idea to their own advantage and turn it bad. Animal Farm is the classically quoted example of something that started out with good intentions but got seized by the corrupt and greedy. I suspect that Orwell's pigs were not really what many take them to be these days, given some of his views, but were "would be farmers" if you see what I mean. The fact that he chose pigs rather than, for instance a shire horse as a "Leader" is a clue to me.
1
They need to be shown how to use a waste paper bin and a truncheon to get confessions - it always used to work well.
1
@markzuckergecko621 That is what makes the middle ground (Libertarianism) the best choice. There will never be equality of outcome, but when the "rules" are made in a way that means playing by the same rules really isn't doing so, then the outcome is never likely to get close to "fair".
1
@Luke Perkins Thank you for that very clear explanation. I guess I must be pretty much a libertarian as I believe that peace is the only way for all to truly prosper amongst other ideals you describe. I cannot see that it could be categorized as left or right but a fusion of the better parts of both.
1
Why do decent people even know about or discuss this rubbish?

@aaddy5157 At least God will forgive me for my spelling (or rather auto-complete) error. It does seem that religions are often strongly linked to certain things, regardless of which god they worship.

@nightmarishvisions8539 On the topic of trains, I can't remember which French leader it was who said he wanted everyone in the country to be within a short distance of a railway station (there are some very good videos on YouTube about the old French railway system). By all accounts and despite a lot of reductions to the network, their rail system is pretty good compared with many across the world.

@shadowpriest2574 Even that is part of evolution, just as most men have many more rights than they did 200 or 300 years ago.

@lifemocker85 The spelling of the word for sevearal female sheep is "ewes" but I cannot see how that can solve any problem.

@shadowpriest2574 On a more serious not than my last comment, perhaps the voting age needs to be raised to say 25 and only if you are in full time employment with no criminal record.

@malakatan3235 I would suggest maybe the opposite as capitalism is market driven and relies on cheap labour to produce goods and with less people the market is smaller and there are less workers.

@MidlifeCrisisJoe Were you hoping to kiss a frog so it turned into a handsome prince? With a name like Joe, presumably you are a guy so maybe you will be in luck?

@tangoalpha1905 And what planet are you from? Perhaps 6 year old kids should campaign for the right to be sent up chimnies and down mines again?

@davidparker9676 It sounds like you are basically saying that these unfortunate girls are made to be the way they are by bad men so it is not really their fault they turn out like they do.
