That's crying out to be put on a t-shirt :yippe:
fuck I love the pickles.
the bastards gave me tomato when I specifically said no tomato :mad:
Lol my thoughts exactly. I'm gonna have to check this thread out now too.
It's not really getting personal or about attitude. Some of us like chains, some of us don't.
In my experience, the way fast food companies treat their staff is disgusting, as well as the fact they're killing local business, destroying the planet, many of them have very poor animal rights records and let's face it... The food (I believe) doesn't taste good. ESPECIALLY not Subway.
But then I'm a big fan of homecooking and make everything from scratch (and my burgers are better tasting, I can prove it at the meet if ya want).
I don't see how displaying an opinion means you have attitude. If Kermit had said "all people who eat at Subway are bastards" or something, then it'd be attitude.
Read the whole thread.
'Defective tastebuds', 'plastic food for plastic people'
?????
And so am I.
It's not either or.
If you think that's abusive you're going soft in your old age.
If that's terrible abuse then as far as I can see every thread in the fashion forum should be shut immediately.
It's not terribly abusive, but you're still wrong.
It may not be abusive but a lot of your posts were rude and pretty inconsiderate of people's opinions
Ok but lets not bring this into another forum - keep it in the Subway thread! (which i personally think should be moved to P+D and then people could reeeaaaaaally let rip! :eek: )
as for the discusting attitudes.. if people said some of the things they do on here to peoples faces theyd end up gettin knocked out by someone right n quick.. but sure its easy to put up a big hard front on the internet eh
im not overly fussed and it makes some things mildly entertaining, some people take this place way too seriously :thumb:
As far as I can see, none of the Subway posts were aimed at anybody in particular.
While some of the posts in the thread had a bit more bite, at least he backed up his opinions with why he thought that. People got the point he was making, but I think people can be oversensitive about things like this.
It stimulated a bit of debate too, the thread wouldn’t have evolved into a decent debate than If he’d just said “Nah, I don’t like Subway”.
Why should I immediately respect and be considerate of someone's opinions just because they hold that opinion?
It depends on the subject. Personally, if I felt their opinion was misinformed, then I obviously couldn't fully respect it (though I would respect their right to express it). But if I saw that the person had seen all the same evidence as me, and simply came to a different conclusion, and I could see how, then I would respect that. On something that can only ever be subjective, such as how good a sandwich tastes, or how good a particular band is, you kinda have to respect someone elses opinion. They've seen/tasted/heard the same evidence as you, and come to a different opinion. I don't see how you can't respect that.
Now I'm not about to get into the ins and outs of this - of who's right/wrong or whatever. But based purely on the above quote -
I can't believe I'm about to quote a rule to you Kermit, but you leave me with no choice:
and just so we're clear, a personal attack does include an insult.
ETA: I've only just seen the subway thread - have to agree with Bri I think.
Hence why we also have a separate rule to say that racism isn't tolerated here - but I do get where you're coming from though
But a racist opinion is one that is based on ignorance. I wouldn't respect someone's opinion if they said they thought black people were superior to white people (though I would respect their right to hold that opinion). If someone said they found black girls more attractive than white girls, however, I would respect that opinion, because that's all it is. There's a difference between an opinion based on ignorance, and the opinion of someone who just happens to have come to a different conclusion to you.
me too. I have had support in the past off these boards, but I am under no illusion about the fact that some people get better treatment than others on here, just because of who they are or how long theyve been here.
As has been said, its a bit much to expect members of a bulletin board to act as therapists or counsellors etc for random members of the public when we all are just random members of the public ourselves. The board members in general are just like the audience members of Trisha or Jeremy Kyle. You might get some gems of wisdom in there somewhere but if you want it to be just proper advice and help, then youre better off having a non-public board where people can just ask questions to selected professionals and get an answer later.
It was just a generalised rant in all honesty.
Anyhow, I don't see the point in all this. Let's not pretend that it's just one person that's has an attitude "problem", and I don't see why one person should have to justify what they post than anyone else.
How very dare you.
Just think of the children!!!
"Were you using con-tra-cep-tion Madam?"
That made me laugh
