Be nice to make some more friends Thank you and eat the rich Hi darling, I can't stand people who use that term 'woke' having said that I forgive you, as you are using it in a positive manner. You have impressive knockers for someone so young. Fancy being rogered by an older guy? 😉 After which we can go fly the rainbow 🌈 flag. What do you think? | |||

"Whats up with crosses on round abouts though 👀" It's a bloody ridiculous example of criminal damage. If I spray painted " Nigel Farage is a twat" on 100 roundabouts, I bet there would be loads of people publically calling for me to be arrested 🤷🏻 Society can't have it both ways! | |||

I'm finding the older I get the less tolerant I'm becoming to cunts, particularly racist ones. I don't have a problem with it either. | |||

"I don't get the eat the rich comment. How rich are we talking here?" If the interest on their liquid assets plus stocks and shares generate above what a normal person has to work 40 hours a week for on minimum wage. Assuming 4% that's a little over 600k. Realistically most people with access to more money have access to much better interest rates though. At least that's where I'd start to draw the line on maybe it's time to restore order once the billionaires are devoured and we're running down the list 💜 | |||

"Are you ok being ageist though. Looks like you are not wanting the older members of the community " I think not wanting to bang people nearly three times their age is a pretty reasonable line. Frankly one I'd recommend drawing much closer to the twice mark, but that's just my opinion. Not wanting to fuck someone doesn't mean not looking to make friends 💜 | |||

Sure, I mean there have never been any revolutions or major conflicts caused by the uprising of the downtrodden. Why would that suddenly become a thing out of nowhere? If half the population of Scotland are claiming benefits to be able to have what is deemed enough money to survive, while 7 people have net worth of over one billion, which is at current minimum wage approximately 40,000 years of working 40 hour weeks, and you don't see the problem with that, I can't help you 💜 | |||

"I didn't start this thread to start an argument, take your shitty opinions elsewhere For a self confessed and proud ‘wokey’ you don’t appear very tolerant of others 😂🤣😂 Only when it ‘suits’ it seems It's funny how people don't understand the paradox of tolerance. In order to have a tolerant society, we must have no tolerance towards the intolerant. If we find ourselves tolerant of the intolerant, then intolerance will destroy tolerance itself. I, and I hope most people, consider the targeting of marginalised groups to be intolerant because I have a lick of common sense 🤷♂️ | |||

Or maybe people over 60+ have retired . " Oh I'm not making any judgements about it. People who don't have enough for a reasonable quality of life should be able to get help, regardless of their age. I was asking simply because of your mention of a particular generation. Personally I find millennials far too tolerant of unacceptable working conditions and am genuinely happy to see the next generation refusing to do it. I was more interested in your answers to the other questions to be fair. But if you want to stick with the bits you can deal with that's okay 💜 | |||

"I didn't start this thread to start an argument, take your shitty opinions elsewhere For a self confessed and proud ‘wokey’ you don’t appear very tolerant of others 😂🤣😂 Only when it ‘suits’ it seems I think that people should have the basics to be able to access society - including job applications, basic communication, etc. If it were 1995, then yes, a phone is a luxury. It is 2025, and unless you're all hoarding all the phone boxes, paper applications, in person appointments etc... Times have changed. What people need to access the very basics in life has changed. | |||

"Thank you to the few people in this forum who have prevented me from loosing all hope in humanity yet again, the right have yet again proved that they will suck any good out of the world with their poison, if people would like to chat with me and be friends I would like that" Not everyone who disagrees with you is Right Wing. Some of us a moderates. Having said that. You clearly injected a political tone into this thread and now judge those who challenge you. This is an open forum, not a controlled one. | |||

You say "inclusion" I say too many use it the same way to judge others. But to me, the cross was here way before the rainbow flag. You either allow both or you don't allow either. If you say the cross is used as a negative, and the other side says the rainbow is used as a negative, who makes the call whose opinion is most valid and correct? | |||

I think, like me, she's come to the conclusion that you have no source of data on xboxes or nikes, so she chose to focus on the simple fact that modern society requires the availability of a mobile contact.

God help us all if your generation can't manage those basic things without a mobile phone. " So tell me. Enlighten my terrible generation. How does a prospective employer reach out to you without a mobile contact?

"Except it really isn't... It's all about intent and ine is used a symbol of including a group into society and the other is used as a symbol of saying certain groups are not welcome. It's completely different. That's your interpretation. The problem with too many people on the hard left is they think everyone who does not think like them MUST be wrong. You say "inclusion" I say too many use it the same way to judge others. But to me, the cross was here way before the rainbow flag. You either allow both or you don't allow either. If you say the cross is used as a negative, and the other side says the rainbow is used as a negative, who makes the call whose opinion is most valid and correct? Your first sentence just confirms nativity on your part. Also, regarding your "inclusion" comment, did you not see my spiel on tolerance or did you conveniently ignore it because it doesn't suit your narrative?" "Conformation" is factual based, not opinion based which is what you have. You have no facts when it comes to what you think I meant. You wanna interpret what I wrote to fit your narrative, go ahead. I for one am a foreigner here in the UK, and I praise Brits who wave their flag to take pride in their nation and its history, just as I would in my native homes. You wanna wave or paint a rainbow flag, then you get to see others paint and wave their own. Either accept it, or get over it. | |||

"I didn't start this thread to start an argument, take your shitty opinions elsewhere For a self confessed and proud ‘wokey’ you don’t appear very tolerant of others 😂🤣😂 Only when it ‘suits’ it seems It's only sensitive when we do it. Duh. | |||

But then by your own comments, it's you interpretation that they're flying those flags out of patriotism. What evidence do you have that it's not being used as a symbol against marginalised groups? I can out 2+2 together and see the increase in flags going hand in hand with a rise in far right rhetoric. As far interpretations go, I think it's a pretty fucking solid one to make. If you can't see that, then I can't help you. | |||

"Love these type of topics. The left really are a bunch of intolerant people. Lors in common with hitler. Hatred of jews and book burning." I repeat... It's funny how people don't understand the paradox of tolerance. In order to have a tolerant society, we must have no tolerance towards the intolerant. If we find ourselves tolerant of the intolerant, then intolerance will destroy tolerance itself. I, and I hope most people, consider the targeting of marginalised groups to be intolerant because I have a lick of common sense 🤷♂️ | |||

Pay as you go sim cards would allow people to phone you at all times without the need for a contract or smart phone and plenty of places offer free WiFi if you need it. Don't need an iPhone or other smart phone to access email/websites as older cheaper phones will allow it albeit not as easy. | |||

Well apart from that free Palestine protest that got way out of hand after the synagogue was attacked. | |||

I just don’t happen to like genocide. It’s quite possible to think the two. And book burning? Bit of a precedent for that mate, and it’s not on the left. | |||

" yes this is correct, as someone looking for work, a personal device is considered essential. Unfortunately you've been manipulated by the media into thinking that everyone claiming benefits is like this when that is not the case. | |||
