Gosh that hadn't occurred to me! How silly I must look.

This response (and indeed your original post) has cracked me up... 😂I must admit, I almost fell for it too.

Effective banning? Selfishness.

That’d be the end of humanity then.

The end of humanity in the very near future would give the rest of the planet a chance. We're taking everything down with us.

@Sonervousimgonnathrowup why is it 'privileged' to want an end or racism and sexism? You actually like people being mean to each other because of where they come from or because of their sex?

VickerishAllsort · 15/07/2022 15:12

GC, I reckon testosterone could cause the end of humanity (not looking anywhere near Vlad Putin).

Mommabear20 · 15/07/2022 15:15

@Underhisi because I want an end to people being jerks to each other? I want a world where it doesn't matter to others how you look or where you come from! How is that a shit world for my kids??

Your post read as people should stop objecting to discrimination.

I would ban cars from travelling any faster than 20mph on all narrow rural country lanes - and drivers would be required to give priority to pedestrians, cyclists and horse-riders.

I'm sure pp's must have said this already, but drivers are now obligated by the highway code to prioritise cyclists and pedestrians.

You do realise that that is how most surnames actually started, don't you? So you'd just be creating new ones

Brilliant answer. But off topic, hey ho..

My phone is full of "Oven Dave"s and "Plumber Mike"s and it's much easier than remembering their surnames. All the Fletchers and Wainwrights and Coopers and Smiths are exactly as you've stated.

Why dummies? What impact have they had on your life? Were they forced on your children?
