Mike Oxlong Posted 3 September 2015 Posted 3 September 2015 Can some translate this for me?!It simply says "Alan Sheehan has a cultured left foot. If you don't agree you can F.O.A.D"
Parafox Posted 3 September 2015 Posted 3 September 2015 Strange though that human rights seem to create consequences that impose on other people's rights. their wellbeing and the willingness of those in control to listen to their "free speech" in voicing their complaints. The truth is we're all controlled by the flawed theory of consensus by people determined to impose their viewpoint over all others in whatever way is most effective...whether it's sensible or not. Me, I detest being controlled for all that it seems unavoidable to a greater or lesser extent. The saddest thing of all is that for all the centuries man has lived on Earth they cannot agree and effectively apply even the basis for a fair and just society or co-existence. It really does emphasise the limits of the mind as it has evolved so far. People mean well - its just that their thinking is so relentlessly influenced from birth and the moment that influence is flawed, so others are affected by those flaws rather like the spread of an insidious disease. I'm always reminded that education should teach people how to think, not what to think. Did you do Sociology in 6th form?
The Doctor Posted 3 September 2015 Posted 3 September 2015 The middle-class, white, heterosexual, cis-gender, western male is the most oppressed demographic in the world. Is it really? How so?
Merging Cultures Posted 3 September 2015 Posted 3 September 2015 The middle-class, white, heterosexual, cis-gender, western male is the most oppressed demographic in the world. Orwell wrote 1984 as a warning not a blueprint. Better skilled Immigrants took my job. Chuck Palahniuk is my idol. Rabble rabble rabble.You have no idea what you are talking about.
bovril Posted 3 September 2015 Posted 3 September 2015 Is it really? How so? Tony Blair's fault innit. By the way I think the post was taking the piss.
Bettsj2 Posted 3 September 2015 Posted 3 September 2015 The problem I have with free speech is when people say something they know full well will be offensive to others, say it anyway then deny that its offensive. Free speech is one of the most abused rights we have.
Wymsey Posted 3 September 2015 Posted 3 September 2015 Think I know what DT wants to say, but not allowed to. Us lot are all *****.
Mark_w Posted 3 September 2015 Posted 3 September 2015 Is it really? How so? You have no idea what you are talking about. He's joking isn't he? Edit: Missed Bovril's post.
Merging Cultures Posted 3 September 2015 Posted 3 September 2015 He's joking isn't he?No idea. Who is Sampson?!
The Doctor Posted 3 September 2015 Posted 3 September 2015 Tony Blair's fault innit. By the way I think the post was taking the piss. I always knew His Tonyness would ruin it for everyone. He's joking isn't he? Poes law - some people genuinely believe that.
Sampson Posted 4 September 2015 Posted 4 September 2015 Yes. I thought the "rabble rabble rabble" part made it pretty clear I was taking the piss and yes, I've heard people say that, or similar, unironically and genuinely thinking it.
The Year Of The Fox Posted 4 September 2015 Posted 4 September 2015 Funny that the people who moan about lack of free speech will be the ones to label anyone with an opposing view to theirs as 'loony leftie'.Equally anyone disagreeing with a 'leftie' might as well be Hitler in the 'lefties' opinion.
ChrisFilter Posted 4 September 2015 Posted 4 September 2015 So this thread is a bunch of older gents with questionable views griping about the erosion of acceptance of said views, then?
Webbo Posted 4 September 2015 Posted 4 September 2015 So this thread is a bunch of older gents with questionable views griping about the erosion of acceptance of said views, then? Older gent with questionable views. Jeremy Corbyn?
Steven Posted 4 September 2015 Posted 4 September 2015 So this thread is a bunch of older gents with questionable views griping about the erosion of acceptance of said views, then? It is generalising and sweeping statements such a this that has led to restrictions on freedom of speech.
ChrisFilter Posted 4 September 2015 Posted 4 September 2015 It is generalising and sweeping statements such a this that has led to restrictions on freedom of speech. It was a question, not a statement.
Buce Posted 4 September 2015 Posted 4 September 2015 So this thread is a bunch of older gents with questionable views griping about the erosion of acceptance of said views, then? With the occasional patronizing fool popping-in to try and raise his feelings of self-worth by adopting a superior attitude..
ChrisFilter Posted 4 September 2015 Posted 4 September 2015 With the occasional patronizing fool popping-in to try and raise his feelings of self-worth by adopting a superior attitude.. My self-worth doesn't need boosting. I'm very happy that the UK is becoming a more caring, accepting and tolerant place.
Mike Oxlong Posted 4 September 2015 Posted 4 September 2015 Older gent with questionable views. Jeremy Corbyn? Jeremy Clarkson
Rincewind Posted 4 September 2015 Posted 4 September 2015 Yes. I thought the "rabble rabble rabble" part made it pretty clear I was taking the piss and yes, I've heard people say that, or similar, unironically and genuinely thinking it. The rabble part made it confusing but as you say people actually believe it.
Weller in Tights Posted 5 September 2015 Posted 5 September 2015 Freedom of speech is a fundamental human right! That is, the right to speak your mind freely, on important issues in society, with guaranteed freedom to express unpopular opinions, without fear of retribution. This always has, and should still be a fundamental human right, which in recent years has been impinged upon, by puerile political correctness, and various anti British legislation. Discuss. It just had to be Dangerous Tiger putting up this thread! Hilarious, I actually laughed out loud when I found this thread.
Nick Posted 6 September 2015 Posted 6 September 2015 It just had to be Dangerous Tiger putting up this thread! Hilarious, I actually laughed out loud when I found this thread. I just went outside and spat in the street a lot hoping he'd see and have a heart attack.
davieG Posted 6 September 2015 Posted 6 September 2015 Freedom of speech is not the major problem it's people hearing what they want to hear rather than what is actually being said.
Jock Wallace Posted 6 September 2015 Posted 6 September 2015 Whatever happened to the thread about the refugee flag..? It disappeared and I would love to know why... escalated quickly I presume..
