Yes we all know there is a modern day slang name for these folk, who are usually men, any respectable synonyms?
We come into contact with them throughout our lives but how do we cope with them? Have you ever had to avoid them? Have they ever made you resign from a club or a committee because of them? Is your boss one?
I've come to the conclusion that there is no changing these people because they just don't listen to reason because they see their sense of entitlement to privileges as a priority over the rest of us.
So, I take a stoic approach towards them. I accept them as they are, they are a given in life. I cannot change them, just like Mr Magoo cannot tell a postbox to get out of his way in the street. The message is sent but there is no one to listen.
So I just cooperate with them on my terms.
How do you deal with aristotles?
God, grant me the serenity to accept the things I cannot change,
Courage to change the things I can,
And wisdom to know the difference.
Can think of a few very unrespectable!
They carry their own prisons with them. They are usually surplus to requirements, or can be made so.
In my experience, the boors tend to be those that rant at royalty.
Basic argument procedure: if you can't attack the reasoning, then attack the person. Classy.
So, you're telling us that prolonging the class system, with royalty at the head, is the ideal situation, eh?
And, everyone in Britain is happy with all the cutbacks in government, while funding of royal propaganda increases to an almost obscene level. Taxpayers must be loving the level of promotion being afforded to one guy in particular. In the last couple of years, there has been the wedding, the baby, more of the baby, then the "passion" (apparently for animals in Africa - can't say for sure, because I only saw the ads), and now a new job.
If you guys want to pay taxes to be fed that stuff by the BBC, then go ahead - I won`t try to stop you. But, do you know how much it is costing you to air such stuff around the world?
In Canada, we wait until winter, then put on ice skates, get a broom handle, and use stuff like that to make hockey pucks.

Plenty of them in Caithness, won't last five minutes in a big city!
