Whoops....touched a nerve have I?

Never mind, nurse will be along in a minute....

 

We the peasants have zero say!!
Your country needs you to consume.
So stop arguing and start consuming.

 

Eric Blair?

 

There is a thought.

 

A genius.
War is peace. Freedom is slavery. Ignorance is strength.

 

A genius yes. Ignorance is also bliss.

 

If ignorance is bliss, then a lot of people are walking around blissfully happy.

 

Error no, I was just stating the facts.

 

Well?

 

As the saying goes:

'Empty vessels make the most noise'

 

And EXACTLY what makes either of you think that people on here do, will do, or have always done....nothing?

 

So tell us then, just what do you and Dunk do instead of whingeing and moaning.

 

Not a chance.

WHATEVER I say, it'll be lies, or not enough.

But mark me: MY political meddling began in 1970.........

 

Oh come on Jeffrey don't be shy, please tell us

 

Absolutely NO way. Some of it was while at uni, and I REALLY don't want it in the public domain.

 

No offence, Chip, but why should somebody need to give details of what they might have done in life to some stranger on a forum, just so they have the 'right' to have a moan?

I understand where you are coming from, but sometimes it's just relieving a bit of frustration having a whinge. It alone won't change anything, I would imagine we all know that, but this is a discussion forum and as such, people talk about stuff and it's a given there will be some moaning as you put it amongst the chat.

Maybe you should be proactive with regards to them irritating you and just stick them on ignore.

 

I thought it was in the Uni, and good on you.

As a politically aware creature, you should be able to moan or smile at political occurring in this democratic piece of earth. You don't have to provide any evidence for it, like some SN capitalists and other bullsh1tters don't put up their CVs and bank statements here to prove their side in favour of their 'privacy'. People can take it as all talk, nothing to show for- if they like.

To be fair, even if you weren't any party rep etc. in your Uni, it doesn't mute your voice as a commoner. Voicing itself means doing something. It's just that your voice has to be a reasonable one, then you can lobby other sheep. Other than that, when the moaning is repetitive, it gets some people's goat bleeding. That's all.

 

Well said.

Who quoted the word 'hypocrisy' in this thread? I think it was f1. Plenty of hypocrisy on this thread, I agree.

People need to have a long look in the mirror before they start ganging up on someone, and start harassing him to 'prove' for what he has done.

 

I was only asking, no harm in that. If he wants to spout off , at least be able to back it up. As i said I was only asking, it doesn't bother me in the slightest if he wants to keep it to himself, maybe he's ashamed of what he did , we all do silly things when we are young.

Sometimes???

Nope , it wouldn't be so much fun then;

 

Nope, there isn't any harm.

To be honest, my point was more a general one, not just about Jeff. You (and Ding) have taken issue with people 'moaning' on this thread from the start and I just think it's a bit unfair to have a pop at people for voicing their feelings and suggesting that people should provide evidence of what they may have actively done in life to change things in order to give them some right to complain (again, not aimed just at Jeff).

Just my 2p as a fellow member, and someone who likes to moan when the mood takes me.

 

Well said

 

Will you lot stop picking on me, your hurting my feelings

 

Man up and stop whinging like a big girl.

1) Nobody is saying that people on an open forum do not have a right to moan. We all do it, some of the best threads start with a moan

However some people just go on and on about the same things. They do this even when the original topic is in no way related. You could start a thread on Elvis Presley and a certain member would some how bring up the subject of BTL landlords

Another member can't seem to write anything if it doesn't contain the words 'lying scumbag politicians and media, this country is doomed etc etc'

It's their right to write what they like but then it is equally the right of others to question this.

2) As for ganging up and asking somebody to prove something;

This was in direct response to RA Dunk who said (I paraphrase) that he was not prepared to be like me and just sit back and be 'reamed'. To me this suggests that he does something proactive about these issues that concern him so much, or is planning to do so.

I quite reasonably asked what it was that he does that sets him apart from 'reamed' individuals like me.

I am still waiting for an answer.....

 

Ah the hypocrite is whining again.

 

You are not going to get one either as A) I don't answer to you and B) I don't need to explain myself to you.

 

So in other words you have been well and truely 'reamed' like the rest of us poor sheep

 

The clue is in his user name:- Reamed Ar$e Dunk.

 

Chip: not ashamed of anything I did.....but I wouldn't want it getting into the public domain...there could l be people out there....wondering....

 

No problem Jeff
