McClean whinging again.

[John2]

Right...it's time to bring this topic back on line.

In regards to McClean, should he just ignore the taunts laid at him or should he complain every time this happens?

John2, I don't want a Tolstoy's War and Peace reply. Same applies to anyone else who has contributed more than 60 words in a reply.

Oops! Am I stifling 'freedom of speech'?

Topics naturally evolve.

It's not about what you want.

Are you saying further discussion in the direction it evolved into is not allowed, or is going to be restricted?

Not at all cup cake, crack on if it expands your ego.

I'm just confused by what you were trying to say, looked like you were considering abusing your mod powers... again.

Never abused Mod powers at all, show me proof. You have yourself a nice day sausage

Did you forget the time you deleted something you had posted and the subsequent replies because it embarrassed you and you got a slap on the wrist from CAM?

LOL, OK, I have you sussed out... bible basher.



Wrong.



All I've said is that I'm capitalist and that I'm also uncomfortable with people going through male puberty winning women's sporting competitions.



Nothing wrong with "Christians", but Christianity is an outdated, irrelevant nonsense that is used to divide humans. Religions are poisonous ideologies that encourage us to look at each other based on our religion rather than as fellow human beings.

The words in the bible are used to orchestrate many acts of oppression and have been through history.



Marxist culture has been crap, I agree, I'm no supporter of communism, as you have already been told and ignored.

Culture is subjective.

I was baptised and used to get taken to church as a kid and found the services unbelievably boring and tedious. I wouldn't subject my children to that.

Boring old songs, the same ones every week that people have been singing for hundreds of years. yawn.

I was in Rome last week, and I confess there is some stunning architecture. But we also have exceptional modern architecture for non religious buildings too.

I can honestly say I find immersing in the hedonism and light show of a good music festival literally 1000x more entertaining and a greater contribution to culture than going to church on a Sunday. Driven by technology and science I've seen more innovation in festivals and entertainment in the last 10 years than in 1000 years of the stagnant churches. That's my opinion, I'm sure you'd hate the festivals too, you are entitled to prefer being brainwashed at boring church services.

What you don't get and I will not allow is this self-righteous belief that the culture you enjoy is "better" than mine. It's not based on anything other than your own ignorance.



No sh*t. A hell of a straw man.

You'd rather have your kids raised by intelligent, caring, knowledgeable Marxists than by shadowy secretive child abusers.But you're more likely to find the latter in a position of power in a church.



And yet still, silence... name one of these things people used to be able to say that they can't now?

I've not had a single example.

I gave you an example and there are many. You ignored it.

I am sure we will agree on what should happen if children are being groomed by *****philes (of whatever religion). Please tell me what should happen if children are being groomed by teachers who are indoctrinating them with "Critical" sociological theories instead of teaching them reading, writing and arithmetic.

What specifically is wrong with traditional Christian values? Why do you believe that the culture we have inherited is "washed-up old ideology" and what of the millions of others in the UK who disagree with you and who don't want everything smashing up? Where is the sacred religion of wokery defined - or do you just make it up as you go along (I know the answer)? All the many social problems around us are getting worse as your new culture is forced upon the world.

Lasers are amazing. However, if you think flashing lights and lasers and loud rhythmic sounds are in any way comparable to the emotional experience created by a genius composer and highly skilled musicians, you don't even understand what culture is so it is hardly surprising that you want to help to destroy it and its foundations. If you can't appreciate Mozart's religious music, take a look at the exquisite beauty and the unbelievable skill in the incredible art treasures in the crypt at St Bavo's Cathedral, Ghent (that have incidentally survived many attempts by mindless revolutionaries to destroy them) and tell me what is their equivalent in your brave new world.

No Brin old chap. You are not preventing free speech. You are being sensible. This is all very tedious. Its like trying to communicate with extraterrestrials.

Okay sausage, let me correct you.

I did indeed put up a post that I regretted the next day. Seeing it was my post it was also my prerogative to remove it, as I was the originator, very similar to when others have asked a mod to take a post down they regretted posting.

A few had replied to my post copying and pasting my original post. Because I had removed my post, it made no sense to leave my comments within someone else's replies that in effect made no sense once I had deleted my wording, are you with me still?

As for CAM slapping my wrist , I'd do the same again if the same circumstances repeated themselves.

NB. I have tried though not to post too late at night so as not to regret something I may say in the heat of the moment.

I'm trying my best Sir......shall I go outside and play instead?
