NG I think you are getting the sympathy vote, the only reason I can see is that I am better looking than you !



See what I mean?...........immediately telling me how good looking he is.

By the way, I agree seeks (this is the point I'd normally pat you on the head and give you a biscuit but as we're not together let's just say you're one in a million).

Missturbation, since I wrote post 71 I can only assume that you have been diddling yourself too much and are feeling exhausted.
Please stop !

I think I am going to miss that programme on Ch4 8 o'clock tonite, so you can watch it for me. OK ?




LadyEllen -> RE: Oh you luck Americans!! (1/15/2007 10:17:03 AM)

Seeks - it'll be repeated on E4 or More4 later in the week, I bet.

Or, if you have it, then you can watch the programmes of the past week or so on replay on satellite and cable.

Or, you could video tape it?

Seeks, seriously, you're making yourself look silly with these constant innane rantings. I was hoping the last few posts would do the trick but you're still coming with your talk of battering another poster. This has been going on for months now. Some genuine advice, concentrate on the post rather than the poster. It's not even mickey taking, it's just innane ramblings bordering on stalking. It's wearing thin.




seeksfemslave -> RE: Oh you luck Americans!! (1/15/2007 2:56:17 PM)

Batter with argument NG, surely you can see that ? The reason your posts catch my eye is that you project everything that I think has gone wrong in the UK. Your views  reveal someone with an historical perspective and knowledge but when  you comment on current affairs and the social problems that face the the UK you simply parrot the PC Liberal viewpoint that even as we speak is beginning to unravel and fall apart at the seams.

However as of now I shall just have to read and nash my teeth since you appear to be a sensitive soul at heart.

Seeks, believe me I'm not but over an extended period of time it gets tiresome.

Two big issues here:

1) 'PC Liberal viewpoint' doesn't mean anything to me. It's a vague term with no real meaning. Any post with such a term lacks credibility - it's meaningless rhetoric. Plus, I'm not a Liberal in the classic sense of Liberalism. Genuinely, you could do with thinking about what you actually mean when you use such phrases.

2) My politics is not reflected in the people who have ran this country for the last 30 years so your claim in bold lacks weight i.e. if you believe so much has gone wrong then the buck stops at the government and I am neither a conservative nor new labour.

And he is, you know?

He's had me on block for a while now, and I'm not even that nasty.

Well, unless its a proper, paid appointment.

I'd do him a discount too.

Blocking isn't my thing, I just swerve the ones who go beyond testing my patience :-)




seeksfemslave -> RE: Oh you luck Americans!! (1/16/2007 12:45:17 AM)

Just to clarify, to the world at large of course, one aspect of PC Liberal thinking is to refuse to admit that something that they hold to be true and  operating in a positive way, is in fact false and is operating with negative consequences.

One poster here for example has consistanly claimed that multi culturalism is a success and that in particular there exist no problems in Manchester. In fact Moss Side is notorious for gun crime and social and cultural division. As are areas of B'ham London and everywhere large numbers of  "recent" immigrants live in de facto segregation.

I heard that is the reason that Beckham decided to leave Manchester. He's in for a shock if he strays in to the wrong area of Los Angeles !

You appear to be saying that lying to yourself is an aspect of 'PC Liberal'. I'm struggling to see the connection.
 
1) What is your definition of politically correct?
2) What is your definition of a liberal?

One poster here for example has consistanly claimed that multi culturalism is a success and that in particular there exist no problems in Manchester.

Something can be a success but still have problems. For example, Chelsea won the league last year but they have a problem in that they are trying to keep more than 11 stars happy (when there are only 11 available places in the team).
 
There is always good and bad. You weigh them up and make a conclusion based on the balance of the two.
 
In fact Moss Side is notorious for gun crime and social and cultural division. As are areas of B'ham London and everywhere large numbers of  "recent" immigrants live in de facto segregation.

We've been through this. Your view is racial tension is a product of a multi-ethnic society. My view is it's a product of a lack of investment in the poorest socio-economic groups in society. I'm not prepared to go through it with you again. Let's agree to disagree.

Dammit! Where am I going wrong, I drive around such areas of London, I look through the windows at widescreen plasma tvs, I see the BMWs and Mercedes in the drives, or god forbid the small hatchback with a stereo system rated in giga-watts and enough fibreglass to build a dozen or so offshore powerboats. Perhaps these people should invest in themselves rather than invest in image and designer labels.

In the last week or so I have watched the police and transport staff attempt to deal with 4 people for fare evasion, 3 of those spent an awful lot of time proclaiming "you are just picking on me because I am [insert ethnicity here]" just to rub in the point all of these people appeared to be reasonably well off professional people, not street scum from whom such words would be expected.

As for under investment, lets see....

Subsidised housing and council tax, Free property repairs. Free prescriptions, interest free credit with generous repayment terms, free vocational training and education (with payment for attendance and free childcare where applicable!). Please pull the other one, I know for a fact I was financially better of with 3 small things and no job than I am now as a senior professional and single. Crunch the numbers yourself, pretend you have a partner and a sprog or two, see how much better of you would be (odds on you will be getting more back from the state than you would be putting in by way of direct taxation)

I say the problem is over-investment, by making the welfare system so easy to abuse and by offering so much with it there is little incentive to actually do much at all.

And to finish off, its called racial tension (by your own admission) not socio-economic tension, surely the label alone proves the point? After all you cannot have racial tension between members of one race (yes it can be sub-divided ad-infinitum, but however you do it the label is still racial)


edited because my sellping was carp!




LadyEllen -> RE: Oh you luck Americans!! (1/16/2007 5:51:57 AM)

Oh dear Sleazy! Now youve done it....

Still, its not a bad life being swerved past for "testing the patience" of NG (for which, read "exposing his dreamy view of the world as without foundation")

Damn. Now he's going to want an explanation of "dreamy".

seeksfemslave -> RE: Oh you luck Americans!! (1/16/2007 7:28:02 AM)

In the city where I live, where incidently Beckham was not born, There are two areas where the population is predominantly  shall we say err.....a lesser shade of pale.

Every 5 years or so the local council decides to implement ANOTHER investment initiative to improve the areas, help the socio economically deprived and give them another push to improve their lot. Over the years we are talking millions.
Nothing much changes !!
Actually just realised I am wrong, there was a riot in one area and it got reported on the local TV news. There's progress for you !!

As Sleazy has pointed out, investment most certainly is not lacking.
