Obelix Posted July 7, 2012 Share Posted July 7, 2012 Not at all. You proved my point I fear your point was so obtuse that it in fact, failed to be made at all. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lounge Jay Posted July 7, 2012 Share Posted July 7, 2012 I am truly amazed that some people are surprised that Cameron is attacking poor people. This, historically , has always been what tories have done. They will not change the habits of centuries. They have killed millions in wars and have considered it to be "reducing the surplus population". They will never change. Do you remember learning about workhouses in history at school? Guess who was in charge of them! I think its a bit of an overstatement to say that they attack the poor; the Torie's have a benign neglect of, not just the poor, but of everyone...they, to a certain degree, try to have a hands-off aproach and let society run itself.

Obelix Posted July 7, 2012 Share Posted July 7, 2012 I'm quite happy to say that in real life - because most people who would like to fill someone in for daring to hold a contrary opinion generally are too cowardly to do so. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I somehow doubt you would routinely go around behaving in that way. Nobody does. It's not normal. You didn't like what I posted and I understand and respect that. But then you had a bizarre little hissy fit. If you had had said someting like 'well left wingers do that too' I would have agreed because we see it on here all the time with some posters. But you kind of fell into the trap of exhibiting the behaviour I described. I didn't expect it from you though - I've enjoyed reading your posts over the past couple of days, posts which have been much more reasoned than a lot of stuff posted on here that takes a right wing stance.

Obelix Posted July 7, 2012 Share Posted July 7, 2012 I think you are reading far too much into what I said. I provided a complenting counter point to what you said. If anything, you were the one that decided to throw a "hissy fit" about something you didn't like. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If anything, you were the one that decided to throw a "hissy fit" about something you didn't like. Not really. What I posted was that people who went round spouting some of the right wing views often posted on here would get filled in. It's quite likely they would do which is why we rarely hear people saying those things. I certainly never encounter it. The point is that they are not anti-left wing (although that is what they think they are doing) they are just straight-up nasty and vindicitve. If I want loony left claptrap I know I could go up Fargate any day of the week and there will most likely be somewhere there with a petition or a banner or a megaphone. As for you post let's look at some of the words - "And they provide a safe environment for left-wing posturing by impotent little people who have dreams of filling someone in to counteract their own perceived inaedquacies." I know it was directed at me. You confirmed that with your subsequent post about posturing. That is why I have taken issue with it. You don't have to resort to abuse to make a point. You've shown that with other posts. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You've shown that with other posts. No. That comment was a broad one directed at some of the more - shall we say enthusastic left wingers on here. It certainly wasn't directed at you specifically - in the same way I know that your comment about right wing bigots wasn't aimed at me specifically The second post of mine was directed at you though - and was in direct response to the first insult thrown, which was from you "How old are you? Should you be up late? " Now you are right - you don't have to resort to abuse to make a point which is why your comment above saddened me somewhat because until then I thought it was going quite well.

Mecky Posted July 8, 2012 Share Posted July 8, 2012 Why is it the rightwing nutjobs that are always the most aggressive? It says a lot about how they see life. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
