I want a device that can recognize and 'neutralize' Daily Mail readers

(, Thu 29 Jul 2010, 10:08, 2 replies, latest was 16 years ago)
I've got something like that
It's called my brain. If someone's reading a Daily Mail I got and strangle them :D

I read two articles in it yesterday
And it angered me so much I actually realised how angry a Daily Mail reader must be. It scared me. It is obviously the work of Satan and not to be trusted.

I can't work out if thats a joke or not. Being in the MAIL probably not.

I'm pretty certain the same effects can be achieved just listening to Celine Dion

I tried Celine Dion once
I still get flashbacks, every night in my dreams, I see you I feel you. I advise anyone thinking of trying any to think twice.

stunned, speechless...................
I thought you were alright. Unless you read it in an ironic way to poke fun at it......

How can you read something in an ironic way?
This is more a dig at people who say "I'm only doing this to be ironic", because they tend to be scenester/indie wankers.

dunno really. I'm going to have to get used to you lot picking up on dumb things I say
I meant read it for a laugh as it's so shite.

You're not the only one who says it
And therefore not the only one I jump on and demand an explanation.

I used to read the Times until you had to pay for it online so just flick between the Independent and Guardian
But the Mail really grinds my gears. It's borderline propoganda.

You, and your demanding explanations
Maybe that's what makes you so sexy, all that agressivity (I'm not sure that that word exists)

Aggressiveness :)
And you're going to make me blush, young lady!

It can be fun
Reading all the letters from the normal readers.

I read it at work because it has the most stories
I can't be doing with categorising people as Daily Mail readers. I have my own mind so I don't instantly change my opinions and morality based on what I read in a tabloid. The propaganda is obvious, but every newspaper has propaganda, it's just people don't call it propaganda if it's already what they think.

The comments are amusing and it still surprises me just how close minded some people can be.

But that said, close-mindedness is judging someone for not doing exactly as you do, which is what people who judge people by the newspaper they read are doing.

I also read the BBC page, Sky and the Guardian, but that's 'allowed' isn't it? Well, maybe not Sky. Rupert Murdoch, foil hats, corporate bastards rah rah rah.

I know what you mean
And I don't like categorising people either as I get on my soapbox when it's done to me. I think the parameters in OT can make it hard to articulate exactly what you think so you end up generalising a lot. I'm pretty sure that not all Daily Mail readers are nut jobs, however a lot of them are borderline.

Murdoch can do one though as he is taking Sky Sports News off freeview.

Generalising and stereotyping is easy
And if it didn't 'work' most of the time, people wouldn't do it.

sorry I can't hear what you're saying
over the sound of backpedalling

Can I get a reee-wind!

no backpedalling
accomodating anothers point of view and applying it to my own. Daily Mail mental.
