to expect MN to provide us vulgar people with a forum of our own?

Afterall, MNEtters have access to a forum in which to discuss sexual matter without repressed spinsters turning up and bleating that how she was bought up to believe only common people talk about sex.

I'm sure that there are people out there who would like to know what kind of salaries they could expect to command should they decide to do an MBA?

Maybe some graduate would like an idea as to what salary he can expect in Banking compared to Retail?

If we had a forum of our own then people on benefits or on low incomes or those who are Leftward Challenged won't be confronted with posts that 'rubs their noses in it'.

Sadly, I don't think that MNHQ will be taking up my idea any time soon.

:o :o at Annie

At first I thought that you was joking but as your rant went on I realised that you was deadly serious.

This thread has nothing to do with sex but with people who think it is vulgar to discuss money stuff. I made the comparison with sex only to liken those people with those who are uptight about sex and who consider it vulgar to talk about sex.

Thanks Annie. You have made my afternoon. Have a Thanks

in my social group, you have a fair idea about what everyone earns & no one cares.

Anniegetyourgun · 20/03/2012 16:53

Rant? Confused

Thanks for the flowers though.

THe same could be said for those who want to talk budgets and How To Live On A Tin Of Beans - those threads generally get hijacked by someone ernestly asking why the OP even had children if she can't afford them, or telling them to go and do some studying to lift them out of poverty or Thats MY Tax Money You're Receiving In Benefits RAHHHH

So. Swings and roundabouts innit?

NameInChalk · 20/03/2012 16:54

earnest, not Ernest. Poor Ernest. Sad

I did misunderstand you though; I posted before seeing the thread this thread is about, and therefore mistook you for one of the latest influx of "OMG mothers talk about dirty things and use cuss words" brigade. You were actually coming from the opposite point of view. For that, I owe you an apology.

WasabiTillyMinto · 20/03/2012 16:56

oh i love being a miser - show me the way to live How To Live On A Tin Of Beans.....

So you want a topic to discuss how much money you have?

WasabiTillyMinto · 20/03/2012 17:09

where someone can ask a financial question without being told they should be grateful, they are vulgar etc etc.

to be able to discuss money like grown ups.

usualsuspect · 20/03/2012 17:10

There is a money matters topic already.

WasabiTillyMinto · 20/03/2012 17:15

usualsuspect · 20/03/2012 17:16

WasabiTillyMinto · 20/03/2012 17:18

The Financial Times Saturday Supplement is called, 'How to Spend it'. Hmm

AutumnSummers · 20/03/2012 17:22

The thing that grates me cheese i that people will look into a thread where the title obviously implies it's sexual just so they can leave Mary whitehouse-esque replies. Seriously, why fucking bother if you don't like it?!

catgirl1976 · 20/03/2012 17:22

And, indeed, why bother fucking?

lesley33 · 20/03/2012 17:22

I know Lambeth...thats where I nicked it from.
