AIBU to blame social science courses for some of this hatred of MrsT

[Grinkly]

I did an OU foundation social science course once. A major part was the detrimental effects of redundancy and unemployment on individuals and the community. It was interesting and spelled out how lives can be devastated by this.

The example was a Yorkshire mining town. It was a good course but I wonder if those, unlike me, who weren't around at the time of the miners' strikes have got a skewed view of why things happened.

Billy Elliot touches on the strikes too I think. But no background info is given, as far as I remember.

Am just amazed at the vitriol - especially by those not directly affected. And it was a long time ago. Don't want to start another debate unless someone has a new point to make.

@Lazzarus You chose to put your own interpretation on my words, and then attack me for something which came out of your own imagination.

Others have posted about whether the sinking of the Belgrano was legitimate. You may not agree with them but of itself that doesn't make their posts disappear into thin air.

You can't be bothered to take up the ADHD thing. Just as well - you have had each such post deleted for breaking the talk guidelines. BTW the only posts to be deleted from this thread. Pity you mentioned it in the first place.

Oh God, it's back.

1. The evidence regarding the Belgrano says otherwise. Unlike you, the rest of the world responds to empirical evidence, ergo it was not legitimate.
2. ADHD thing. That would be because you are so obviously unaware of the difficulties of those with ADHD. I feel strongly about you 'working' with ADHD children as you obviously have no respect for them or their families, we know what you think, so nobody needed to pm you, did they.
3. Which bit of the message don't you get. Go Away!

Dawndonna, why do you think the attack on the general belgrano was illegitimate?

It was outside the exculsion zone but we had already said we would attack any Argentinian forces whatever their location. Also no peace agreement had been reached.

The general bel was at sea to kill britsh soldiers to keep the flakland islands under Argentine control.

Seems I have entered in to a battle of wits with unarmed opponents...

Yes, Dawndonna and LaVolcan I mean you.

I would direct you to the definition of 'alleged'. Alas the finer points of warfare are well beyond your limited cognitive capabilities.

Fire away. I can't be a*rsed to engage with you anymore. Whatever I said you would put your own spin on it. If I said that the moon wasn't made of green cheese you would treat me to a long discourse of why it was and how you knew and how dare I insinuate that the man in the moon wasn't a war hero.

What evidence says the sinking of the Belgrano was illegitimate? Even the ARgentinians have admitted it was a legitimate act of war!

Shite, that Phd means nothing now. I'm wounded, so very wounded, and by an obfuscatory twat, too!

I do enjoy it when the particularly weak of intellect alter the facts to fit their views.

The Belgrano Inquiry.

@Dawndonna Phd[sic]

The Belgrano Inquiry was an unofficial inquiry led by a known revisionist.

Those who convened it had an agenda, those that attended had an agenda.

Those who believe it have no clue.

If you have a Phd from a reputable source you would have seen that.

All are encouraged to view.

BTW isn't it PhD?

Tired and typing. Not that I have to justify myself to you.
But if it makes your smug little arse feel better, go for it. Because despite the fact that I have been up three times in the night, despite the fact that I had to rush into school yesterday, despite the fact that most of my contact is on here, your need to feel superior is obviously so much greater than mine.

Waiting for a coherent argument from some people.....

waiting....

waiting....

Nope.

As to us not being in Vietnam a few pages back, that is balls. We may not have been there 'officially' but we had special services out there and our medical services were also used.

Okay. I'm hiding this now. Lazaruss likes to make his points by bullying.
I did cow him because he wouldn't discuss his disabilist remarks publicly so he's decided the only way to get through is to use bully.
I have too much going on to be bullied by people who can't cope with being questioned.
