Because there are so many. And they are so unpleasant.

Pretty please...

Well you equated leftie with having humanity, which suggests you think anyone who is not a leftie has no humanity. If I am wrong about that and that is not what you think then I'm very glad.

TeWihara · 24/01/2012 11:45

I would not be opposed to this.

I don't mind answering questions and explaining what the problem is, but what's the fucking point when they don't read what you write??

I haven't said anything about conservative voters chubfuddler.

So not sure what your point is.

Unless you are saying that ' those who lack humanity' = conservative voter

Oh pag you are not stupid you can't really think that there isn't a shred of humanity in anyone who voted conservative. That's just lazy.

Anyway I am not interested in a bun fight or indeed shooting people.

I'm with you Pagwatch. I spent the wee small hours searching the site for a facility that allows you to filter certain words. It might be there, I couldn't find it though.

I want to filter benefits, cap, David Cameron, working poor, scroungers, in fact its a very long list.

Hellooo Knotty, tis your twin! Are you Year of the Dragon?

Hullygully · 24/01/2012 11:39

oh dear I've started being rude again

QUICK MNHQ!

KatieMiddleton · 24/01/2012 11:39

Yes you are right Pag.

Chubfuddler · 24/01/2012 11:38

That sounds fabulous helium. I wonder if someone at cchq will order me a pizza if I start a thread about it.

CardyMow · 24/01/2012 11:38

Yes please. Then I can go on and try to educate people when I feel up to it, and ignore them without them being stuffed in my face when I'm not!

KatieMiddleton · 24/01/2012 11:38

And yet many of them would happily ghettoise people into poorer areas cityhobgoblin. I think there's a natural justice in doing the same to them. At least threads on the internet is easier to achieve and undo than some of the RL solutions being proposed.

Katie

I think in this instance 'satisfied leftie' is covered by 'people with a little humanity'. So it would be pretty inclusive

Pag you are not a lone voice.

Did anyone else think it was weird that that thread on how to improve the NHS, the first few replies were bring back matron and lo! Cameron announced later that week plans to bring back matron.

They are playing us like a fiddle.

EdithWeston · 24/01/2012 11:36

I started a thread asking for something similar earlier this month, when we had an outburst of Bob Holness RIP threads.

If you're interested in a subject, it's far more rewarding to have all in one place (or possibly two, if the self-extinguishing "chat" is left alone).

KatieMiddleton · 24/01/2012 11:35

I don't know any satisfied lefties. Most are feeling distinctly unsatisfied and worried for society.

But it is polite and tidy to post political threads in "politics". Just as it is polite and tidy to post site stuff in "site stuff" and pregnancy stuff in "pregnancy".

Pagwatch · 24/01/2012 11:35

Yes yes. Put all the self satisfied lefties in one area too please.

I would love to be in there.

cityhobgoblin · 24/01/2012 11:34

I totally disagree... the financial facts and the misconceptions & vicious attitudes are the reality of everyday life for millions and can't be , dare I say it , ghettoised

Sevenfold · 24/01/2012 11:34

something needs to be done,
they are vile, full of jealous screechy posts(don't get me started on the anti sn brigade)

Chubfuddler · 24/01/2012 11:33

Can you put all these threads in one place though please, including the sf satisfied leftie ones so I can hide them all in one go.

BelleDameSansMerci · 24/01/2012 11:33

Oh yes, please move them somewhere so that I never see another one. They're bloody awful.

So shocked that Hully may start swearing. Yet not surprised at the idea that she may start shooting people.

OP posts:
TadlowDogIncident · 24/01/2012 11:30

I agree too - can't bear the levels of ignorance and unpleasantness.

sodapops · 24/01/2012 11:30

I agree and I have hardly been on here for the last couple of days.

Hullygully · 24/01/2012 11:28

Them's the lengths, Knotty, them's the lengths.

KnottyLocks · 24/01/2012 11:26

Um, Hully darling, Bad Language? You?
