Natural differences between human beings will always mean that some will succeed and others will fail, the Mayor of London said in a speech.[/quote]
I don't think this guy understands the concept of economic equality.

[QUOTE=a-cookie;43007899]implying boris johnson understands anything[/QUOTE] i dunno, if he can do trick shots he can pretty much solve world hunger and create world peace
I've not even heard of this guy before and already I'm not getting a good impression visually he looks like an English or Australian Donald Trump
Boris stop. Everyone liked it when you didn't speak.

[QUOTE=Chrisordie;43008027]You are forgetting this: [media]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iWIUp19bBoA[/media][/QUOTE] Is he a politician or a missile, I'm confused.
Is he seriously suggesting that 99% of the population is too stupid to earn enough money? [editline]28th November 2013[/editline] I guess teachers are too stupid to get a better job other than teaching knowledge for incredibly low wages. Stupid teachers.

Boris is as corrupt as the rest of this fucking government.
Well he's not wrong, but that is only because of economic inequality itself.
[QUOTE=Jackald;43007902]How can anyone not love Boris Johnson.[/QUOTE] As funny as he is, you don't put a clown in charge.
What if economical diffriences is a part of our human nature and nothing can truly break this natural order?
[QUOTE=Jackald;43007974][media]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=10az5-ENYTs[/media] Boris is lovable. He has some things people disagree with, I certainly disagree with a lot of his policies, but he's such a genuine guy. He doesn't really do the usual politicking that most politicians do, he just sort of says what he thinks and then gets in trouble for it. He got in trouble for shouting at Ken Livingstone and calling him a liar and being a bit rude. Top guy.[/QUOTE] I think one of my favorite moments was this [media]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NgO2cjbYcEQ[/media]
[QUOTE=danharibo;43010068]As funny as he is, you don't put a clown in charge.[/QUOTE] He is far from a clown. He knows exactly what hes doing. He learnt in Uni that the best route to popularity was through humour.
[QUOTE=Tengil;43010097]What if economical diffriences is a part of our human nature and nothing can truly break this natural order?[/QUOTE] history has shown that you can ease economic inequality considerably while maintaining a strong economy. it's not necessarily bad that there are rich and poor people but everyone has to have the equal chance to get ahead. otherwise the result is kind of a bad aristocracy where power and status is mostly just inherited instead of earned
He's sort of right though. No matter what you do, there'll be an upper class and an underclass; all you can do it try your best to minimise the gap. He just lacks the ability to speak without pissing somebody off. Not to suggest that I necessarily agree with him, I think we should do anything and everything that we can to achieve economic equality, but I don't know that it's actually [I]possible[/I].
[QUOTE=Harry3;43010149]He learnt in Uni that the best route to popularity was through humour.[/QUOTE] That is a thing I like about him, and I think that he should be in more comedy.
It's true though. Just think about how stupid the average person is. Then think about how 49% of people are dumber than that person.

[media]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QlH-OZ5R9xM[/media] He's a good laugh - I wouldn't put him in a position of major power, but it's nice to watch/listen to stuff he says.

[B]He doesn't really do the usual politicking that most politicians do[/B], he just sort of says what he thinks and then gets in trouble for it. He got in trouble for shouting at Ken Livingstone and calling him a liar and being a bit rude. Top guy.[/QUOTE] He doesn't do conventional politicking, but he does do it in an unusual way. The bumbling exterior is a very well maintained façade, he's a very intelligent and cunning politician, with [b]very[/b] traditional conservative views. I bet that he's carefully considered nearly every "fuckup" he has, and judged the risk to be worth it. I don't buy any of the flip-flops he's done over the years - from calling Islam a religion of hate to praising its virtues? from voting for anti-gay legislature to supporting? There's also his very traditional conservative policies. Like the act all you want, but remember that the actor is a much more sinister being.
This is a bit of a biased article, he even says this: "Boris Johnson suggested that the gap between rich and poor has now grown too wide and more must be done to ensure that talented people from less wealthy backgrounds can “rise to the top”" which is a good thing and most people agree. The thing about stupid people is not an exact quote, it's an interpretation of what he said, it's truly impossible to have 100% equality because there will be always people more intelligent and motivated to create businesses and thrive to have more money. Quotes like: “I worry that there are too many cornflakes who aren’t being given a good enough chance to rustle and hustle their way to the top." Makes it seem to me, he's saying there are plenty intelligent people that aren't given good chances and that people who are poor are stupid.
There's lots of inequality in nature. One man might live naturally for 90 years, another might die naturally aged 30. How you spend your time is the equalizer. You could die aged 30 having lived a life worth living, or die aged 90 having never truly lived. Likewise if you spend all your time watching TV, you're unlikely to ever be successful or good at anything.

[QUOTE=SCopE5000;43011207] One man might live naturally for 90 years, another might die naturally aged 30. [/QUOTE] One man might be born with the means to extend his life while the other could die of something easily preventable.
