I feel I would struggle to make that into two pages.

Loud: "Hay Bella, you fancy going to McDonalds for a burger?"
Inside head "Nah', I fancy KFC..... but their chicken is nicer and I want chicken.... it's not that much further away.... McDonalds is a bit cheaper, but not as nice, I don't mind spending the extra quid or two.... I guess the sauces are nicer at McDonalds.... why can't we go different places and meet up in the park to eat it?.... You're really never going to speak to me again if I get KFC instead?..... everyone is laughing behind my back if I go KFC?....."
Outside Head "Yeah', ok then".

Fuck off, if you're apart of the anti-capitalists, you're deteriating their point with your gross generalisations, if you're part of the captialists, then you're showing off a great ununderstanding of the anti capitalist point and deteriating their point.

Just been catching up on your very mature and grown up approach to politics from over the weekend.
For your information, my dear, although you are undoubtedly intelligent enough to go far in your chosen career with your specialist knowledge, before you start slagging me off and suggesting that being heterosexual means I'm not a feminist, you engage your phenomenal brain to realise that you're talking absolute horseshit.

i did it all through uni and all through the college of law. you never hear more politics than when standing behind a bar. unless it's in the back seat of a london black cab, that is!
( , Wed 30 Mar 2011, 12:36, Reply)

The reason I'm still working in a pub is because I haven't applied for any other jobs yet.
I'm not the bitter one who started having a pop at you for no reason. Fuck knows why you've decided you don't like me. To be honest, I couldn't give two fucks. You're dull, vapid and frankly, very irritating - but I was happy to ignore you.
Now please cunt the fuck off and go kick some poor people with your stupidly expensive shoes, OK darling?
( , Wed 30 Mar 2011, 12:31, Reply)

Seriously, I'd like you to explain why:
A) I'm not allowed to be a feminist if I'm heterosexual,
B) What you have against people expressing political opinion, and
C) Why you can't answer anything without resorting to childish insults and pointing out that you earn more than most people.
If the answer to any (or all) of these is "because I don't understand", I'll be happy to explain.
( , Wed 30 Mar 2011, 12:40, Reply)

a) why you are so easily baited
b) why you frequently bring politics up on a puerile comedy website
c) shut up
( , Wed 30 Mar 2011, 12:42, Reply)

A) I'm not baited that easily, as shown with the last thread - I object to unprincipled accusations being made about me when I'm not here to defend myself or explain something.
B) I'd like to keep it to the peurile comedy, but people feel the need to constantly bring up the fact that I disagree with the government. I have many other outlets for political discussion, and frankly, I'm bored of justifying my beliefs to people on /OT who couldn't really give a fuck about politics, and just want to be antagonistic.
C) Who are you, David Cameron?
( , Wed 30 Mar 2011, 12:46, Reply)

A) For A) see B)
B) It gets brought up because it goads you into a reaction because you seem to take yourself very seriously.
( , Wed 30 Mar 2011, 12:48, Reply)

would be able to instantly home in on precisely the right buttons to wind up an earnest young left-wing political activist.
On a puerile comedy website where everybody baits and goads everybody else.

Yes, I do believe that Swipe accusing me of not being a feminist because I had a weekend with BB was a statement borne out of ignorance.
( , Wed 30 Mar 2011, 12:56, Reply)

no one belives that all feminists are lesbians. if you think she was serious about that then you aren't as smart as you give yourself credit for.
( , Wed 30 Mar 2011, 12:59, Reply)

I'd prefer the patronising insults to be done when I'm around to defend myself though.
( , Wed 30 Mar 2011, 13:04, Reply)

your vanity is so colossal that you would seek them out if they were buried 3 years ago.
as you proved. by saying "i've been catching up on..." why were you looking then??
sorry but like most feminists who don't realise that their time passed in the 1960's and there are many other ways to get on in life these days, you are only bringing women into ill-repute here. the boys have got a MUCH better handle on me than you have, "sister".
( , Wed 30 Mar 2011, 13:08, Reply)

it's not ignorance, it's a different point of view, taken to extremes because it baits you.
You are entitled to your views, so are others, even if you think it is because they are ignorant.
( , Wed 30 Mar 2011, 12:53, Reply)

you are earning my title of 'Baity McBaiterson'.
( , Wed 30 Mar 2011, 12:50, Reply)

people are antagonistic because you are easily baited.
Clearly you have strong views, to which you are entitled, but the way you react, like you have to swipey here, makes you come across as fairly rabid.
I don't want to get too much into this, but you do bring it up, as much as anyone else does, if not more. As evidenced by your throwaway answer to my silly question C)
To put this in context: I'm here because I'm bored and I don't really give a shit what people talk about, as long as it is interesting. I'm trying to help though, by giving my opinion on a couple of things, which might help you chill out a bit.
( , Wed 30 Mar 2011, 12:51, Reply)

Sorry, the answer to C was a fairly bad joke - I suppose I'll have to do a Chompy and explain it (and then possibly rape you):
David Cameron just told someone to shut up on PMQs about half an hour ago. Now, smell this rag...
( , Wed 30 Mar 2011, 12:54, Reply)

chucking in what is essentially an in-joke amounts to bringing up politics
( , Wed 30 Mar 2011, 12:57, Reply)

I was playing on your accusation that I always bring up politics. It was all ironic and shit.
(Yes, feel free to do a strikethrough on 'all ironic and')
( , Wed 30 Mar 2011, 13:00, Reply)

are not being ironic and/or humorous.
( , Wed 30 Mar 2011, 13:11, Reply)

I can apprechate pretty much all forms of passion except maybe about football or sports. This place is more about creative writing than purial humour, although that is where it's roots are.
I disagree with half the points of both of the two people involved here, no one is right or wrong on this one.
( , Wed 30 Mar 2011, 12:57, Reply)

I'm right!
actually I agree. People talking about stuff when they know more than me about it is very interesting.

A) Yes you are
B) People do have political opinions, they in the main choose not to air them due to tedious content. Militant lesbianism is laughable which is why people rip on you.
C) You're a fucking slag

I know this, because she brings it up to deny her privilege all the time.
"Oh yes, I went to public school, but I went on a scholarship, so that means I wasn't overprivileged or anything!"
( , Wed 30 Mar 2011, 12:52, Reply)

And anyway aside from "old money" people who went to Public school etc did so because their parents were more succesful as they worked harder/were more intelligent.
Any suggestion that poeple who have more should be brought down to a lower level of wealth to balance things out is retarded, there will always be poorer people because they just don't have the capacity to do better with their lives, it's no one's fault but their own.

worked really hard and got a really good job, but then they got struck by lightning and became paralysed, so they couldn't work and had to go on DLA. Are they then a second-class citizen who isn't entitled to opinions?
