First They Came for the Jews

and I did not speak out --

because I was not a Jew.

Then they came for the communists

and I did not speak out --

because I was not a communist.

Then they came for the trade unionists

and I did not speak out --

because I was not a trade unionist.

Then they came for me --

and there was no one left

to speak out for me.


They also came for Homo***uals and Lesbians,
They came for the Roma people and other gypsys

Careful folks we don't let Fascism creep on to this board !!!! Not calling anyone fascist far from it but some of the comments are not nice and using the word Fascism may seem over the top but its how this ideology starts,

Unfortunately, they're not immigrants going through a tough time, having to resort to unpalatable methods to survive.

The roma infest every major city in Europe, thieving, begging and are continually on the make, taking whatever they can.

It's their way of life, they have no intention of trying to change.



I don't mind them leading an alternative lifestyle, but as long as they finance it themselves, honestly.

I think we are a bit far into this thread to now worry about what is said about the Homo***ual, Lesbian or even Roma communities. That elephant left the room a while ago.

Most beggars whether genuine or fake, don't really bother anyone and we're not obliged to give them anything. There are a few in town I give a couple of quid to when I am passing and try and buy the Big Issue, when I can find a vendor in Aberdeen as it's usually famine or feast with them though.

With respect never to late to point something out, I just got the feeling the thread was beginning to take a nasty twist thats all, Having visited third world countries I'm very familiar with beggars and some really get to you others not so much but I am sympathetic to their plight wherever they are. One group I always give money to is buskers I have a personal rule never pass a busker without reward,

I gave him the sandwich ��, though, to recap, but he clearly wanted something else. And I honestly don’t think he was one of those beggars who was looking to buy drugs or drink. The grubbiest cup, with invariably brown change in it, isn’t coincidental. Few have change on them nowadays, far less of the brown variety.

I've been looking in here pretty much daily for as long as I can remember, but never felt the urge to post as my tactical nous pales in comparison to most. I just love the dons, and have done since my first game - a 3-1 defeat to celtic in 1981.

I've been becoming more uncomfortable looking in here of late with an increase in homophobic and prejudice talk on the up.

I'm not going to turn this into a full frontal personal attack, but DonsDaft I have a couple of questions for you as I would like to understand where your thinking comes from.

Firstly, do you understand the difference between gay and trans? You appear to use the two terms interchangeably. Either you are unclear, or you don't care and see them as one and the same - to use your own words, weirdos!

Secondly, I support rights and equality for all people, and all the parts that make up the wonderful LGBTQ+ community. But to keep things simple, let's begin with your feelings on gay people.

You said in an earlier post, in response to a point about you hating gays, that they are living a fantasy? I see nobody to be living a fantasy (straight, gay, trans etc.), but - sticking initially to the gay community - what makes a man who is attracted to men, or a woman who is attracted to women a fantasist? All they are is people who are attracted to people of the same s*x. Nothing sworded, just who thry are. Please explain your dislike of gay people.

And why do you regard them as perverts as you have so often pointed out?

You also said on a previous thread that you wouldn't employ a homo***ual even if they were most qualified for the job - I believe you said "of course I wouldnt". Why is that? What offends you so much that you wouldn't give a job to a gay man or woman?

I'm not offended by what you say on here, it's just words from someone who can't be bothered to understand a world outside of their blinkered view. Im past caring about what your sort think. I'm just curious why you think like this.

I'm not even going to begin on your trans views. I just want to start by understanding the basics.

Thanks

Gordy,

In all honestly, I don’t think that most people on this forum, or indeed elsewhere, are anti-gay. Far from it. You are who you are and it’s part of your genetic and biological make-up as is the case for all of us. Things have changed enormously over the last decade or two. I wouldn’t think twice about employing or not employing someone on account of their ***uality. Live and let live I’d say.

“DRS” is cricket’s Decision Review System, fûck all to do with Coapy Loaf screwtops and Pola Cola tins. Ours already go in the mixed recycling bin which is teemed fortnightly by the scaffie heroes of lockdown. Of course, given their library-shutting and Sistema-wrecking attacks on the working poor yesterday, it’ll be no surprise if the lazy, useless whankers running Aberdeen Council decide to stop this established system from handling such containers to remain on-message with their overlords in Edinburgh, and that utter fuucking zoomer and liar Slater.

Umpire’s call won’t work this time.

Apart from the foregoing, I have no strong feelings on the matter.

(She IS a fuucking idiot though).

I saw the libraries closures announced yesterday. As a user of three of them I am amazed they lasted as long as they did. Problem is once they start closing them they won't stop now.

The whole financing of public services in the UK are a mess. Doesn't matter if it's Edinburgh, Cardiff or London who are responsible, the fact of the matter is just not enough money to go around.

I'd happily have seen a bigger increase in my Council Tax, but I'd be in the minority on that front.

Mick Lynch tells the truth in saying that the country’s awash wth money, but it’s in the wrong pockets.
