Insult me

Vis Salman Rushdie stabbing, JK Rowling's address being publicised on social media for giving her opinion (shared by majority of country) various people having their livelihoods or wellbeing threatened because they have said or done something that is legal but someone finds objectionable. I'm a bit drunk and fucking cross. Insult and offend me. Crack on. Exercise your right to attempt to give offence and my prerogative to not take offence. Here's some meat to get you started.

  • there are two human sexes. Wear what you fucking want but there's no such things as crossing or transient sexes. Just dresses and doc martin boots.
-dont like tattoos, you like like you think you're unique, you aren't.
  • its in the UK's best interest for the highest court in the land to be based here, not in a supranational organisation (Brexit voter, so juicy meat here)
  • the NHS has already failed and needs a northern / western European model replacement asap
  • most of the COVID lockdowns / restrictions did more harm than good

There you go. Be offended. Take umbrage. Shout at me. See how that's actually ok and we can agree to disagree and you don't need to send the rozzas round because we take a different view to one another or I put a POV on the internet.

Say what you like to me, I choose not be be offended.

Bullet points messed up. Tattoos remark unrelated to trans bollocks comment. Pleased insult me separately

Rozzas?

I'm a bit drunk
Living proof alcohol destroys brain cells.

GreenFingersWouldBeHandy · 13/08/2022 01:53

Bit bored tonight? I’m not biting. Too hot.

AlmostAJillSandwich · 13/08/2022 01:53

Can't say i disagree with any of your points of view.

IPFrealy · 13/08/2022 01:53

Brew have a coffee and a lie down. Put x2 paracetamol and a pint of water on your bedside table for the morning.

EmmaH2022 · 13/08/2022 01:53

I can’t take offence at any of that.

I can say “yooouuu plonker” just for a laugh?

It's all a bit Rick from the Young Ones innit 😂

WineIsMyCarb · 13/08/2022 01:59

I appreciate the 80s reference IP (doffs hat)
At least 8 people are bored enough to comment @MoiraCarrington 😁

C'mon Emma. Something must have outraged you. There must a reason to tell me how offended you are and how entitled and unreasonable I am to state an opinion🤔😁

OP posts:
EmmaH2022 · 13/08/2022 02:00

Actually wait
i can take offence at the last one

ALL of the COVID shit did more harm than good

any idiot could see that in advance of it happening, people with brains watched as other countries did lockdowns and we were horrified.

if you believed in three weeks to protect the NHS, you are an utter plonker!

Does that help? It is genuine.

WineIsMyCarb · 13/08/2022 02:05

Yes great, thanks @EmmaH2022
You disagreed with me (very courteously I should say) and look.... We're both fine.

I suppose my point is that I'm sick of not being able to discuss issues without name calling, genuine threat to people's livelihood, dismissing them as having an invalid opinion, ad hominem attacks etc.

Me and Emma are fine everyone... Come on in!!

Twawmyarse · 13/08/2022 02:06

I agree with you OP, no insults here.

And most people in RL probably agree too - but here on MN it is very leftie-leaning and those posters get very het up about anyone with different views to theirs. It's just "she who shouts the loudest". Woke Lefties tend to be very gobby.

WineIsMyCarb · 13/08/2022 02:11

Disagree @Twawmyarse
I am "right of centre / libertarian" ( basically do what you like as long as I don't have to pay for it!) And many of my left leaning friends IRL don't take the shout the loudest approach. Seems to be social media led. So here we are.

Thanks for disagreeing with me. Hope you are still alive and kicking as a result!

EmmaH2022 · 13/08/2022 02:15

OP you might enjoy this song
or already know it...

IPFrealy · 13/08/2022 02:16

I'm most terribly sorry, @WineIsMyCarb, but I'm going to have to agree with you there.

Phew. I'm off for a lie down.

WineIsMyCarb · 13/08/2022 02:24

Enjoyed the song Emma. But that graffiti was an eyesore and made the public space look more hostile. It's not art.

Disappointing IP. Maybe you'll sleep on it and wake up outraged with me and call me names? Share this on twitter? Send it to a mate who's a trans identified ardent-remainer tattoo artist who spends their weekend tagging railway tunnels? I bet they would call me some names.

OP posts:
Twawmyarse · 13/08/2022 02:26

I think you'll find it's YOU who disagreed with ME!

But - you're welcome.

WineIsMyCarb · 13/08/2022 02:28

Ahhhhh. I’ve never heard rozzas either.

@IPFrealy has excellent advice.

EmmaH2022 · 13/08/2022 02:41

OP "But that graffiti was an eyesore and made the public space look more hostile"

how do you make Hackney look MORE hostile? 😂 (That'll get a few punters in).

speaking of areas, I nearly upset a new couple in my block of flats. I'm really keen to get out because the area is "vibrant" - which really means, drastically overcrowded with culture clashes, murderous dealers and bloody feral kids everywhere. (Is it is fucking compulsory to have toddlers and a dog?)

anyway, they heard I was looking to move, asked why and I nearly said "because it's a shithole here now, it was nice when I moved in".

turns out they're here because they lurve the "vibrancy". Oh and he has a beard. Obvs.

HirplesWithHaggis · 13/08/2022 02:45

I don't agree, but I'm loving your attitude. Can't insult you for that.

HirplesWithHaggis · 13/08/2022 02:48

Actually, re-reading (it's the small hours, have also had a drink) some stuff I do agree with. Meh. Still Loving the attitude.

Jki · 13/08/2022 02:51

Do people with tattoos really think they are unique?

I never have had that impression. I think I disagree with you.
