Re: Re: Re: Re: Wilde Socialist's Hard Labour (was Re: Oscar Wilde: was O Happy Day)



Greetings Economists,
    I changed my mind, my sense of outrage has totally left me now that JKS
has explained himself.  I now understand totally exactly what JKS meant, for
example here JKS writes,

JKS,
if rigorously enforced, it
would have resulted in locking up about half or more of the uppah classes

Doyle
I just didn't know that before that half the British Upper classes are
"homosexuals".   Hmmm, where does the class line stop in England?  And below
that line, what percentage of working class men are homosexual?  This is a
revelation to me.

JKS,
Speaking of strange homosexuals in England

Doyle,
yes let's talk about strange homosexuals in England.  I find it amusing to
talk about strange homosexuals.

JKS
Wittgenstein and A.E. Housman... H hated W, regarded him as uncouth,
despised his interest in rough trade, thought him ill-mannered and rude. H
preferred pretty English lads from the middle classes. W liked dockworkers.

Doyle,
W he liked dockworkers?  What did W like to do?  What is rough trade, you
mean working class?

Let me put this in a context JKS.  I dropped out of high school as opposed
to going to Cambridge, and one of my cherished memories is being beaten up
for being a queer while I was still in school.  Now in those days I didn't
know what the hell they were talking about except I was a sack of shit they
could kick around.  It was some time later that I had sex with a guy, but I
remember being beaten in school pretty good even after I found out I liked
sex with men.

I sort of have a different picture in my mind of what you are talking about
than you seem to.  I just do.

thanks,
Doyle Saylor
