OT - what the hell is going on!

Why would allowing me to own a firearm terrify you?

Same reason as letting you loose with a machine with lots of hydraulic levers did a couple of weeks ago.

Oh I see. So its not insane letting a man with your weak, quisling opinions loose on young minds then?
The Nazis knew the secret to their success was brainwashing the young. Explains a lot really.

This is a disturbing measure of where we are at.

There's been a lot in the media generally about the increase in kids starting school not toilet trained. Baffling.

I just don't understand Andy how we arrived at this.
I was born in a 2 up, 2 down. We had nothing, but we had manners/ respect/ wanted to learn and we was happy.
Our parents did their best. They fed us, cleaned us, bought whar they could and taught us to survive in the right way.
By the time we started school, we were tougher, knew the basics and even had a start with education.
What has happened?

Lol…‘weak, quisling opinions’, ‘brainwashing’. Really? Do get a grip.

Indeed what has happened to make you a racist xenophobic, bigoted believer in right wing conspiracy theories and a follower of privately educated elite sponsored grifters who spout *******s? If only we could figure that out, society would no doubt improve.

"you come across as being amongst the least charitable/christian people I’ve encountered."

Now you've upset me, I thought I had that accolade. Sink the boats!

No we now your just a tongue in cheek pot stirrer.

Did you not have a debating society at your school? You’re in serious need of training…

YouÂ’re back to MAÂ’s OP, we all ask the same question and there are few clear answers. My girls live in two cities with high levels of crime against the person and I see my job as constantly reminding them to be vigilant, IÂ’ve no longer got the time or energy to do more

Amongst SweardaleÂ’s usual bile there is a sort of point, that we focus on the scroat on the street while fat cats just get fatter by fair means or foul and just seem shockproof
