NJ2 Posted July 12, 2018 Share Posted July 12, 2018 Agreed, tighter family and community should help see to the needs of the less well off where they cannot help themselves. The decades-long breakdown of both has had / is having far-reaching consequences. However, food banks are still preferable to more state nannying.Aren’t food banks a sign of community helping the well less off? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’ll disagree. I know that the close community isn’t the same as what it was, but I’d still say the community coming together to help those less fortunate is a sign of community. Maybe we just have different definitions of community in our minds. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Full sugar juice is too thick to quench your thirst and it leaves a sugary residue in your mouth. Depends on what your drinking. I like Irn Bru Xtra, Coke Zero and Pepsi Max. 7 Up only seems to come in a lite version now as well. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Community is something that appears when the type of thing I outlined is the norm. Food banks are manufactured 'community' in lieu of this. I'm advocating that community is a bottom-up phenomenon, you're partially advocating top-down manufacturing of something a bit fake.

Works a treat and worth having a microwave for. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cerberus Posted July 12, 2018 Share Posted July 12, 2018 Sauces are generally minging. Brown sauce, ketchup, mustard, steak, all kinds of chutney. Mayonnaise and chocolate are the only acceptable one. But not together. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Highland Capital Posted July 12, 2018 Share Posted July 12, 2018 People who call things like Coke and Irn Bru 'fizzy juice' are undoubtedly one of the lower classes. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
