Cyclone Posted February 23, 2013 Share Posted February 23, 2013 With all due respect I've never got the impression you're any kind of lefty. Depends on whether you mean socialist left or libertarian left. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
davyboy Posted February 23, 2013 Share Posted February 23, 2013 I saw in the paper the other day that a minister said that pensioners should earn their pension by doing voluntary work. What the F does he think working for 40 years and paying tax and NI was for? I've nothing against voluntary work, in fact I did 9 years as an adviser after I retired.

gnvqsos Posted February 23, 2013 Share Posted February 23, 2013 Depends on whether you mean socialist left or libertarian left. I don't think your comments indicate any adherence socialism-perhaps corporatism espoused by Mussolini is national socialism. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gnvqsos Posted February 23, 2013 Share Posted February 23, 2013 I'm not really sure what you're trying to say. That does not really surprise me ad you need to read more widely in order to comment on political ideologies with any authority. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
harvey19 Posted February 23, 2013 Share Posted February 23, 2013 I'm not really sure what you're trying to say. Completely off subject, but why do you spell Wadsley as Wadlsey if it refers to the area of Wadsley ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gnvqsos Posted February 23, 2013 Share Posted February 23, 2013 She did a degree that isn't likely to lead to a job... her choice. Are you seriously suggesting it is frivolous to study Geology?Irrespective of that choice it is not necessary to study simply to gain specific employment although Hitler,Stalin and Mussolini would argue that the needs of the state should supercede choices of individuals.It is an expression of totalitarianism. ---------- Post added 23-02-2013 at 10:59 ---------- Completely off subject, but why do you spell Wadsley as Wadlsey if it refers to the area of Wadsley ?

It's a typo, I decided not to correct it though. ---------- Post added 23-02-2013 at 13:39 ---------- That does not really surprise me ad you need to read more widely in order to comment on political ideologies with any authority. Is that similar to how I shouldn't comment on economics since I'm not qualified? Remind me again, what were your qualifications, in economics and in politics. GNVQ maybe? Did you consider that maybe I wasn't sure what you were trying to say because you hadn't expressed yourself clearly... I can generally interpret what you write, it's not always easy, but in this case it seemed to be lacking in basic syntactical structure. ---------- Post added 23-02-2013 at 13:43 ---------- Are you seriously suggesting it is frivolous to study Geology?Irrespective of that choice it is not necessary to study simply to gain specific employment although Hitler,Stalin and Mussolini would argue that the needs of the state should supercede choices of individuals.It is an expression of totalitarianism. I don't believe I used the word frivolous. It is a degree with limited career choices though, she shouldn't be surprised that she will be expected to take work that is unrelated to it. I completely support her right to make the personal choice to study something she is interested in, but I don't support anyones right to choose to have the state support them rather than work.

Cyclone Posted February 23, 2013 Share Posted February 23, 2013 You feel that you can criticise what you perceive as my lack of qualification to comment but refuse to share what makes you qualified. I can only assume that you know as little or less than I do. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
