Doesn't make it alright

[David.]

I said no need for the F, not that I was offended

As I asked before WHO should not see that tank top bum bandit is pejorative - as an example

I believe they were a popular Indie Folk group back in the early 90s , M'Lud.

Quite fitting that a well known joke could be seen as causing offense on a thread about causing offense

It would be Roy chubby Brown though.
A comedian who was a bit too much for TV in the 80s.

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.

Why does this always happen on these threads?

You're disparaging a group that is protected.

Yes, that's the problem, they are protected
When they stole my irrigation pump, police wouldn't go to the site, too scared

I don't believe you.

Think this thread has run its course now.

Thanks for all the responses and some thought provoking posts.

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

Not many left! Hang in there, you will soon be a member of a protected species, with all the attendant benefits.

I don't believe you.

you should. Police wont do anything about a certain group of traveling folk who have a tendancy to walk off with generators

 

[robs1]

I don't believe you.

Those of us that actually know how these scum operate know many instances where the police won't enter their sites.
You must be very lucky to live in an area where you don't have these thieving low life's,

Ah, so bit like a freemartin then

Well, I'm not sure it's entirely like that, either. I've recently read "A Brief History of Everyone Who Ever Lived", by the geneticist Adam Rutherford in which he talks about the not-absolutism of human biological sex. I enjoyed his writing style, and being able to just about catch the gist of a complex subject. No doubt more will have been discovered since the book was published, too. It's worth a read.

You should get out into the real world more

Hi, @Bald Rick . I notice there's a benign thread locked (For all you Archers fans). I can understand a lock on the Climate Myths thread, but is there trouble at 'Mill, there, too?

(I only want to speak up for Brad. His most endearing traits are, he's not a bad lad, really, and he isn't George.)

Pleased that the mod has succumbed to pressure and reopened this thread.
Though he is threatening to ban me for my behaviour.
Behaviour which he has responded to positively ...confusing!

Just watching the Sweeney on TV. It's a real barometer on how things have changed in the last fifty years.

Indeed, the majority decide what is acceptable at the time.
Looking back and saying that was awful seems ridiculous to me

watching some 70's TV again is an eye opener, can't believe we laughed at it then (mind you I was only 6 in 1970!)

70's and 80's tv was far superior than the crap that's been put on latterly.

The Sweeney is most certainly far superior to what is on TV today to me. However not to my children and that is the crux of the matter. We are our parents and grandparents looking at todays society and shaking our heads.

never mind the tv , in real life the met police (and probably other departments) in very recent years has been / possibly still is disgraceful towards certain members of society .

That is my biggest fear, so many people I talk to are saying the things my parents said a couple of decades ago, that said my kids, step kids ( late twenties mid thirties) say the same sort of things about the generation below them.
If people really think that modern telly such as love island sh!t and the shows like it are good then there is simply no hope for humanity

That's probably true.
