Ay up Brand, you Mockney git, pound shops are useful & Enoch was right!

Brand v Farage

God help London if it ever happened!

Brand for Mayor?

Psst, Russell, are you aware that fools like you are giving UKIP all the free publicity they want?

Es99, before making a post you should stand back and have a good hard look at what you have typed before you actually hit the reply button.

Some of us here may have some heated discussions at times with each other, but we never bring someone else's family into them, so are you deigning making this post (just for starters)?

You have offended a great many of us here lately and at least 2 of those that I know of have been African Americans, who now no longer post here just because of you and your attitude (and you say that you're trying to support them against racism?), though a number of others have also made the same choice not to post here for the same reason (you).

Many PM boxes have also been running hot around here lately and the main subject has been you and your totally over the top, abusive and offensive posts, so what do you take home from that?

It's about time that you take a good hard look at yourself because ATM all you are doing is making enemies out of a lot of us.

Now that's the truth as great many of us here see it, but I guess that you'll just ignore the truth as usually and just stick with your own twisted thoughts of the what you see as the truth.

Now it's up to you, but I guess that you'll just delete this post to, as you're inclined to do just because you don't like the opinions of your peers.

The answer is very simple Es99, start your own thread, then you can rant and rave as much as you like about your "ist"s and "ism"s to your heart's content. ;-)

Cheers.

'They' Say this Country 'is' Going Brown by Whatever Date, much Like Climate Change 'is' Going To Destroy Us by Whatever Date.

GOoD. Brown Can Have This Country and Climate Change Can Have The World.

Yep.

"The following statement was issued on 19 November 2014 by the Executive Committee of the American Astronomical Society on behalf of the AAS Council:...........etc. etc.

Methinks it would have been equally valid to have posted that in the "Political Correctness" thread.... It reads like an "insert company name here" pro forma downloadable from the web

Women CAN do anything a man can do (no argument from me there), drive monster trucks on mining sites, fly commercial airliners, fighter jets and space shuttles, captain vessels of aircraft carrier size, contribute massively to scientific advancement, be hard hitting investigative journalists reporting from war zones, design and repair complex electronic equipment, run major companies, in fact any job that requires physical stamina, mental stamina and intelligence. All this, yet as soon as a man appears on the scene, they turn into delicate, cowering, simpering vestal virgins who require special protection and reassurance in case he might "offend" them.

It's a conundrum I have yet to find the answer to.

It is impossible to have a debate with an entrenched misogynist.....

Even harder to have one with an entrenched misandrist...

...

Some of us are born misandrist, some of us achieve misandry and some of us, after trying to reason with you, have misandry thrust upon us.

Its starting to feel like the rational choice.

I am afraid it is you that is naive because you are unwilling to listen to the very people that are trying to tell you there is a problem. Ask any of those women you speak about what it is like to be a woman in science and I'd be very surprised if any of them would say that had it just as hard as their male colleagues. However, even if they did tell you that (which a lot of women did when they complained about the shirt) you don't want to hear it.

There is only ONE person beating the drum here and that is you. A couple of others have come in with snide comments on the side but nothing that contributes anything to the debate.

If you valued the opinion of women in science you actually listen to us when we tell you there is problem.

Like any good scientist I would not make a statement without doing my research, and of the THREE women scientists I know personally, NONE of them feels they have been in anyway belittled, degraded or discriminated against by their male colleagues (or the shirt), nor have they noticed any "discrimination" against other female scientists in their laboratories. These opinions were delivered verbally, thus were not limited to 145 characters.

I also note your second attempt to compare the "plight" of women scientists to that of Black People. To me, this just indicates you have run out of ideas and are grasping at straws to make a point. It is a totally invalid comparison, reeks of paranoia, and does nothing for your credibility.

Name change

Still, it is good to hear the sounds of Joual again spoken on TV.
Our condolences go out to the family of that service man who
lost his life on duty to-day in Ottawa.

Shouldn't that have been Well done UK Government? Mr Coward did not vote - Too afraid of upsetting his bankers & having no income once he loses power which is much more likely.

Hey Angela, I've just insulted a whole country again! Another one for the list :-)

Probably one of the main reasons why they wanted independence & can you blame them with the Engleesh constantly insulting others, jus who would have thought that this is the 21st century.

I think it is a barbaric, primitive reaction that we must fight against to show we are better than those who can kill remorselessly.

A mother, defending her children, is a primitive reaction. I wouldn't call it barbaric tho. We will always have those primitive reactions, it's part of our nature. I think every mother with her heart in the right place would do the same as I.

I dont Think there are many mothers in this thread Julie
Many fathers though.
