Doesn't make it alright

[merino]

You've just been complaining of intolerance on this thread and yet go and post this? If you're gonna just have knives out for everyone what is the point of even using a discussion forum? That's just going to descend into a poisonous snake pit, surely.

What's to discuss? With someone like that.

If I engage at all beyond this they'll at best spend the next few days spouting pseudoscience.

One wet day in July I got the mrs to get some tickets to go on the train from Langwathby to Leeds to take the daughter. A couple of stops down the way a lad got on with his dog, he was a slaughter man/ meat cutter from Carlisle. There was a bit of a commotion when he got on about his dog. He had a ticket for it so it had a seat, when he explained to the rail people it wasn’t a dog it identified as a black lesbian then all was good again.

Just about sums up the whole situation.

I had half an hours crack with the lad met the dog. He was just turning the rules on its head he knew it was just stupid but why not. He lived with the dog and wanted a seat for it

Congratulations. You're now intolerant.

Paradox of tolerance - Wikipedia

You can view tolerance as a social norm and be opposed to anyone rejecting that social norm.

yes and they are not in the same league as Smith he is just a wannabe celeb / poseur dressing up yes but musical talent no not in the same league at all not anywhere near them and its insulting of you to them to suggest as such.
I'm offended by your comment of it.

I had to go back and find out which Smith you were on about. I was really offended because I thought you meant Robert however you didn't so all's well.

With someone like what?

I asked you a simple honest question directly related to something you said, and you won't answer it, instead resulting to petty insults.

Then come out with some nonsense trying to justify your own intolerance.

When the real problem is that you can't answer the question.

Pathetic.

I'm well familiar with it.

Most frequently appears to be used by the intolerant as an excuse for their intolerance.

Certainly the case here.

66k members. Safe to assume that many hundreds will be lesbian/gay.
We know, for sure, that Muslims are members. Important posts made about keeping abattoirs going.
Yet there is a constant dribble of homophobic and racist posts.
Often presented as humour, or thinly disguised as political comment.
The vast majority of posters on here will choose to ignore it, because it doesn't offend them.
It's the worst excuse in the world, and it doesn't make it alright.

Oh yeah and don't mention the Antipodeans!!!
Fair to say some of the abuse in forums and private messages from members in the UK is totally unacceptable, but we roll with it because quite honestly we don't give a fúck.
Equally given the stigma that primary industry recieves, then explain why our opinions, beliefs and practices allowed to be ridiculed and or persecuted???
Hypocrisy especially from the "left" and media is fair game to be challenged whether you like or agree with it or not.

 

[FonterraFarmer]

A wise quote of this time I was told by one of my lads ‘no one is more persecuted than a white heterosexual male’

Ever wonder what blind people think of skin colour or even just colour as a concept???

At the moment? we here, live in a "free" society, better here than most places in the world, but for how long? now ive not got much of a problem with what you get up to in the privacey of your own home, but what really gets me is when certain people try to "impose/force their values" on others, bad enough to have that when your an adult and have had,seen some life? but teachers, or teaching children about the teachers, own views opinions, no no no? We have had some very disturbing recent examples, such as teachers taking children out of school for pro palestein protests and far the worst, "influenceing " children about their sexaul identitiy without the parents knowing or getting permission?

I agree, I have little time for the vegan industry, and you won't find anyone more anti organic farming than me on TFF (although that doesn't go down well) I'm just pointing out that not all vegans are the same. They all get hammered on here though.

Seeing as veganism poses an existential threat to anyone who rears livestock if the movement had gained substantial traction, I can fully understand why.

Plus it is not an especially healthy lifestyle without taking significant supplements whereas a diet that contains dairy negates that.

Ergo, as a dairy farmer, I refuse to have any truck with vegan foodstuffs or would darken the door of any vegan establishment

 

[Scholsey]

I remember the saying sticks and stones will break your bones but words should never hurt you, people choose to be offended many unintentionally and innocently offend.

Ever heard of section 28?
This road has been travelled.
It doesn't go anywhere.

Seems an odd thread to be started by someone who spends more time calling other people names than anyone else here, just because they have a different opinion to yours. Such a shame when you evidently have the best interests of ag at heart and a good level of knowledge and experience.

So me throwing in the occasional muppet is akin to the comments on the thread that prompted me to start this thread ? Nah. Muppet.

Plenty of people can't have dairy not just vegans. As I said I'm no fan of the vegan industry, I don't buy the "vegan option" or anything with organic written on it for that matter but have no problems with the individual making a choice as long as it is not forced on others.
Tarring them all with the same brush, as happens on here is like saying all farmers are subsidy grabbing, millionaires who inherited everything. That's not fair either is it.
We're all humans on planet earth.

Really? Unless they lived in early 2000’s Zimbabwe that really isn’t true.

Oh it is absolutely true. The minority groups are pushed hard at the expense of the majority. The majority’s views are not allowed to be spoken otherwise it’s racist or homophobic or whatever else. You just are clearly unable to see it.
