Today and tomorrows debate.

[Gary L]

Listening to Jeremy Vine and today we're kicking the people who are on benefits making babies.
here's a list I made of recent kickings we have had.

Hoodies and the trouble they are
MPs and their fiddled expenses
Smokers giving us cancer
Fat people costing us money
Council tenants having a rent free house
Muslims (everything)
TV and how too much violence corrupts children
TV and how too much sex corrupts children
Poor people suffering
Smoking and banning it
Alcohol is too cheap
Depression and there's not enough tablets to go round.

Feel free to add.

[Stephen]

and your point is??

[Gary L]

Do I need one?

Jeremy Vine is bad for your mental state?

[Stephen]

Don't listen then??

[Gary L]

Don't listen then??

I only listen to hear what the callers have to say.

[Stephen]

But what is the point of your list? You haven't really put much info in your post as to why you posted what you did?

[Maggy]

and your point is??

To provoke a reaction I'm assuming.;)

I don't know. a reason to get into a discussion with you about me? :)

Is he bad for your mental state when the topic is Muslims, Gary? I notice that's on your little list. Presumably you're the number one fan when the topic is Muslims.

Is it a list of subjects that Gary wants to talk about ,a list of subjects that have been talked about ,or a list of subjects that jeremy vine is talking about ?:confused:

They all as bad as each other Chris. I haven't really got a favourite one. well not one that Jeremy Vine would talk about anyway.

a list of subjects that have been talked about

[Hugh]

Who do you mean by "we", Gary?

As in today we're kicking

[Gary L]

Who do you mean by "we", Gary?

As in

The public?
unless you think I meant everyone in my house. who else could it mean?

[Stephen]

I don't know. a reason to get into a discussion with you about me? :)
Well if you want a discussion then it is wise to actually make a starting post with information or a point to discuss rather than just a list of stuff that got talked about on a radio show:dunce:

[Hugh]

The public?
unless you think I meant everyone in my house. who else could it mean?
I don't know, which is why I asked.

However, use of a generic "we" can be misleading, because I, and lots of people I know on and off this forum, have not been involved in giving kickings to -
Hoodies and the trouble they are
Smokers giving us cancer
Fat people costing us money
Council tenants having a rent free house
Muslims (everything)
TV and how too much violence corrupts children
TV and how too much sex corrupts children
Poor people suffering
Smoking and banning it
Alcohol is too cheap
Depression and there's not enough tablets to go round

and I am a member of the general public - perhaps one sized doesn't fit all, even if you believe it does.

I've made a slight ammendment to the thread in an attempt to provoke a serious discussion ;)

Listening to Jeremy Vine and today we're kicking the people who are on benefits making babies.
here's a list I made of recent kickings we should have had.

GaryL for starting pointless threads that invite said kicking

[Gary L]

I don't know, which is why I asked.

Ok. it's just that sometimes you seem to make things more difficult than they actually are :)

The amusing thing is that you don't recognise the irony in that statement.
