  1. It's the "if i'm not free to fiddle with kids" then my freedoms are limited logic. -Pure Smiffy -
  2. Human rights for all is a worthy cause regardless of bias IMO, it's that that defines us as civilized, regardless of others that don't conform . Homophobia and racism today exudes the same mentality that the do-gooders were fighting yesteryear. Thankfully Liberalism is the reason you're not doing 18hrs a day dahn pit for tuppence a week.
  3. The majority once thought homosexuality, womens rights, darkies, sexism, racism was just dandy and acceptable, then what happens, the minority do-gooders came along and shoved their patronizing self opinionated rock the boat noses in it. Without them we'd still have the Black n White Minstrels on a Sunday.
  4. As a term, 'do-gooder' is a negative, not a positive. What did a Quaker teacher, a Methodist preacher, a former slave, a former slaver, a ship's doctor, a businessman, an African composer, a Baron, a scholar, an outspoken widow, a lawyer and a wealthy politician have in common? 'Do-gooders'?
  5. Unless on special occasions I don't think I've heard bells ringing in a long while, other than my local church in Ranmoor, which would probably take a miracle to stop. ---------- Post added 12-05-2015 at 11:24 ---------- Wailing 5 times a day I would say it is different.
  6. Minus a couple, yes, without any equivocation. Some Labour ministers resigned their posts I believe.
  7. Yeah but that's all to do with reading..can't be doing with that stuff.
  8. Obviously I wasn't clear, I apologize. Showing a pic of a comatose or smeared lipstick woman actor treats adults like children. With the amount of real harm and death available online we've become desensitized to film and media. Just from a visual perspective I don't see the point, regardless of the message. Tell me olive. If I told you alcohol put you in harms way and was bad for your health through a poster campaign, would you heed the poster drone like because it fits snugly with ingrained fears, seriously question the poster and it's credibility, or ignore the poster simply because you already think the campaign is credible? Using past experience isn't a credible source, it's just an individual experience. Being drunk and attacked by a Ginger haired man isn't evidence that all Ginger haired men will attack, let alone you being attacked because you were drunk. Simply being a woman regardless of your deamenour is pretty credible though. Sadly we seem to live within rape culture which advises teaches 'Don't get raped" rather than 'Don't rape', which does imply victim responsibility which amounts to a message of guilt.
  9. You only fall prey to complacency only if you are aware of you're complacency, not being aware isn't a crime. I doubt most are aware prior to going out to enjoy themselves with the many hurdles life could throw at them..we'd all end up like smithy, paranoid, which would make going out a hoot. The result being that entire business empires initially give poor advice to their advantage then come around for a second helping from further poor advantagious advice from the same said but different business empire advising you to hop on their roller coaster. It's just a selling racket, not good advice. If it was good 'there would be a lot less debt, a lot less repossessions, a lot less regret, a lot less misery'. 'He' being Cyclone, 'her' being Olive or your partner. No it wasn't metaphorical, more like philosophical. When you offer a hand of help you've made a judgement call based on your own capabilities. When the offer is instinctive it's invariably based on mutual understanding which is different to assuming something judgmentally especially if you don't know the individual. Why would large business empires imply that size 10 photoshopped woman is the perfect specimen? Unless it's seen as excellent advice to follow and is followed. Some advice is very poor especially if it's deemed interfering with peoples individual choices directly or indirectly. How they perceive that message is at their discretion, not mine or yours whether for the right or wrong reasons. I would think mainly because those posters don't center around a specific demographic with women being highlighted. I would seriously like to see evidence that drinking by women is directly linked generally as the cause of rape, not evidence that drink was a factor when it took place. Like you I'm ready to take on board but a tie-in has to be made to justify the highlight. To make it easier we'll ignore all the other rape demographics and concentrate on women in bars drinking to excess that have been raped, if it helps. Neither, I for one haven't professed implicitness, I just can't find anything that overwhelmingly substantiates the claim. I have no reason or agenda to refute should it be so. You could say Charlie Hebbdo posted good advice on the evils of Islam, some Muslims didn't take kindly to that. Glass half full/empty? I don't see any of our "poster blamers" shooting up the town...on the contrary, they're doing exactly what is right, debating an issue. Victim blaming is an issue, a very serious one for the victims, of all people you should understand that better than most.
