Oh yes the weather too.
You can't really do much about the weather, though.
To me, Luke sounds scared of what he doesn't know and doesn't understand. He sounds like he tries hard to find out more, but his sources are either unwise choices, with a great deal of hyperbole and scaremongering, or over his head and dismissive. He sounds like he tries very hard to be tolerant, which is in my experience against human nature, people are in general intolerant. We can't hate blacks, so we hate gays, we can't hate gays so we hate emos, or not, we bully, and torment and are generally more than a little bit nasty to each other. Luke is just like everyone else, but he's never said anything directly prejudice, but he reveals an underlying discomfort or unease, and a dislike for people who are perceived to be undermining his security.
No, it doesn't, actually.
Just a guess...
so you're admitting you don't know and understand an awful lot (judging from the undertone of your posts) , that you get your information and ideas from bad sources, and that you dismiss anything too intellectual.....? so then how exactly can anyone take your posts seriously?....not that i do mind, i'm just saying from a neutral's pov....
noone on here claims to know everything but you do make your statements and assumptions with an air of certainty for someone who doesn't know much (you said that not me), maybe if you were more open minded and less dismissive of people's views that disagree with what you read in the daily mail and such like you might learn something......
I only debate in something that I feel I know quite a fair bit and I read other peoples posts, argue my case, learn to debate better and of course learn all sorts of sides to a story.
I feel that you'll all stop going on the day I start to agree with you, I am sorry to disappoint, I have my own personal opinion. Accept it.
I rest my case.....look it up in the dictionary.
well you talk about immigrants and asylum seekers an awful lot so what are you basing your ideas on? where are you getting your information from and what makes you believe the sources you read?
I think that's the problem though, it seems like you don't have your own personal opinion you're just regurgitating what you've read somewhere without any kind of critical analysis.......i'm not asking you to agree with me just look at the alternatives before you make up your mind.......for instance give me 3 reasons why asylum seekers and immigrants benefit this country......? i'm betting that's not something you'll find in the daily mail.......
I can talk about what I like if you have a problem with it then don't read my posts.
I base my ideas on my own perosnal experience, newspapers, the internet, mainly the latter.
Not all this again... this is stupid. Where do you get your ideas from? Do you make them up in the drawing board? Come on move bloody on!
Again! :rolleyes:
I'm not answering any of this, I've done it time and time again.
Asylum seekers and immigrants can benefit from this country...
Better job prospects
More money
Better life for them
All are perfectly positive reasons. I bet you didn'tt think I would say that?
It's about time people like YOU and others would actually read what I say instead of assuming I am being racist when there is no racism there.
I am critical of asylum and immigration, a hell of a lot of people are, not on this board mind but in the general public they are. Want proof?
The rise of the BNP.
Lets play punch and judy now eh.
That's not what I asked you, I asked you how do they benefit the UK, not benefit from the UK.......
i never said you were mate.
i'd say rupert murdoch's crappy tabloids are more responsible for the public's general lack of understanding, which subsequently leads to the narrow-minded views and racial tension......
I (try at least) to quote facts, not rumours, lies and myths. Which is what you do with alarming frequency.
Bloody Nasty People..... Who's headline was that?
Wasn't the Guardians that's for sure!
A lot can be said about the people in P&D, but none of you are stupid. We're here to talk about each other's opinions, challenge opinions we do not agree with, and maybe get some people to change their minds. Language is merely one way of persuading people of the merits of a well-honed argument. It always has been that way, and always will be. So stop the pointless attacks already.
What, like Doctors and Nurses, Lawers and Entrepreneurs?
We have itty bitty cars because we don't want to look like Cannon or Kojak. Don't worry, your petrol prices will come down now that you've nicked all the oil from Iraq & Libya, or am I being very old-fashioned? [ps - to confirm your suspicions, yes England is *DELETE* er, not terribly good. Almost as racist as USA & still in denial about USSR winning WW2. And don't knock 1966 - it's all we've got http://vbulletin.thesite.org/images/smilies/crying.gif
ps I honestly cant tell if you are a little bit delusional, or sarcastic
