Why is one kid's brain tumour more important than an entire town's Christmas festivities though?
I'm not attacking anyone, but I don't see it as a charity. Mansfield's a waste of space, how could they possibly think that some christmas lights will make it any more attractive?
I'm sure they could have some sort of christmas celebrations for a lot less than 25 grand. I'm not saying one kids brain tumour is more important, I'm just saying I think there are more worthwhile things to donate money to but who am I to say anything :yeees:
If it's that much of a toilet, then surely anything (nice) will make it more attractive.
The place is a hellhole, it'll take a lot more than some lights to make it a better place.
well, it would be with grumpy shites like you living there.
Did I ever say I lived in Mansfield, nope, not to my recollection. I don't happen to be particularly grumpy either, I just have some set views about things, as most people do.
Probably not, electricity doesn't grow on trees.
It's great to see your civic pride in full glow, btw. At least someone cares about that town, even if it isn't you.
No I'm sure electricity doesn't grow on trees. I don't give a shit about the town myself and for anyone that does, I feel for them greatly.
Christmas pie anyone?
Well that, like this entire thread, says far more about your sanctimoniousness then anything else.
Thank you muchly.
If you don't give a shit about the town, why make a thread on it?
They probably care because they live there. Nothing wrong with that.
Oh I'm sure it does. What a pointless thread indeed. No one's ever done that before.
Probably because it makes me angry to think they can raise £25,000 for some lights and be proud of themselves when there are much more worthwhile things out there that desperately need funding but as I said, who am I to have a point of view?
true. but really, if you've already posted your opinion 16 times, and each time someone's come up with a different yet valid arguement, and for the last 15 times you've ended with 'who am I to have an opinion...' why bother posting it up again?
Maybe I should but then again, maybe I won't. If this was such a pointless thread, I'm surprised at the amount of replies it got.
I actually only said that twice and if you read back you'd see that but I'm sure you have much better things to do with your time. Who's to say which points are valid or not. It's all relevant I'm sure.
not everyone has mad debating skills. and there's a huge difference between disagreeing with someone and attacking them.
it sounds a lot like she was on the defensive. and i don't blame her.
Don't blame her why?
You've got an opinion, good for you. We've disagreed, and said why, and you've thrown your toys out of the pram, saying "obviously I'm wrong, I shouldn't say anything :rolleyes: :rolleyes: :rolleyes: :rolleyes:"
*shrugs shoulders*
because i think some of the replies in this thread were unnecessary.
I agree maybe I did spit out my dummy but I'm entitled to once in a while.
Other than mine, which ones?
Such is the way of Politics & Debate.
Starting with "they're shallow", "I really feel for them", and "Mansfield's a shithole, what a waste of money!"...
Indeed. This is true. Maybe people could get their head around this point before they try and belittle people with different points of view to theirs.
Childish maybe but at least it's clear.
