THE TALK TO YOURSELF THREAD. (NOWT)     

goldfinger - 09 Jun 2005 12:25

Thought Id start this one going because its rather dead on this board at the moment and I suppose all my usual muckers are either at the Stella tennis event watching Dim Tim (lose again) or at Henly Regatta eating cucumber sandwiches (they wish,...NOT).

Anyway please feel free to just talk to yourself blast away and let it go on any company or subject you wish. Just wish Id thought of this one before.

cheers GF.

george - your objection that a disabled guy should not be able to play golf, is actually unfair

last year i played alongside chaps from headley court (look it up!) and their american counterparts, and there's no way you could say they were not disabled

i know a chap with parkinson's who plays, and another who can truly barely walk, but who also plays 9-holes when the weather is sufficiently warm

but yes, of course there are a small minority who undoubtedly work the system, not only on disability, but also with regard to other benefits
on the other hand, there are those who really should get benefits but are refused

Europe loves him, or at least did. Nominated for the Nobel Peace Prize after being in office only 11 days. Awarded for his "extraordinary efforts to strengthen international diplomacy and cooperation between people". And we wonder why with socialist dreamers spouting that nonsense why Europe is going to the dogs. A case of deluded optimism overiding basic common sense.
Repeated by Merkel to the detriment of all of Europe. So much for general consensus. It only applies when she allows it.

MERKEL IN TROUBLE , HAD TO HAPPEN.

Germany elections: Disaster for Angela Merkel as exit polls suggest defeat in two out of three regional elections


Chancellor Angela Merkel’s ruling conservatives have suffered humiliating losses to the anti-immigrant Alternative für Deutschland (AfD) party in three key state elections seen as a referendum on her “open door” refugee policy which allowed more than a million migrants to enter the country last year.

The real shock of Sunday night's polling was the scale of AfD’s gains, which easily entered all three legislatures.

The three-year-old party (AfD) - which has campaigned against Mrs Merkel's open-borders approach - won 15.1% of the vote in Baden-Wuerttemberg, official results showed.

It scored about 12.5% in Rhineland-Palatinate and 24% in Saxony-Anhalt, where it finished second, according to projections by ARD and ZDF television with most districts counted.

At AfD headquarters in Berlin where the results were being monitored last night the atmosphere was described as “ ecstatic”. A jubilant Frauke Petry, the party leader declared on television: “We are now a party for the whole of Germany.” Alexander Gauland, another leading AfD figure said: “Ms Merkel’s refugee policy has lost her party votes – we, by contrast, have made it clear from the start that we don’t want to take them in.”

Haystack - 14 Mar 2016 10:59 - 68841 of 81564

The AfD is similar to UKIP here and at least as racist.

cynic - 14 Mar 2016 11:07 - 68842 of 81564

sounds far more right-wing than ukip
the rise of these groups across europe is not new, and may well accelerate

Fred1new - 14 Mar 2016 11:26 - 68843 of 81564

I know some are celebrating the success of AFD, but I wonder what their salute will be.

Good to see followers in this country and seeming celebration on this thread. Reminds me of Mosley's crew and convictions.

iturama - 14 Mar 2016 11:36 - 68844 of 81564

Why is a party racist because it is right wing? The left has convinced the woolie minded that being nationalistic is being racist. Next it will be racist to join the army and fight for your country, or be a police officer.
See the black lives matter twits in the US. Most crime is black on black but if you shout it loud enough there will always be the gullible believing that the killers are not black thugs at all.

TANKER - 14 Mar 2016 11:44 - 68845 of 81564

so the racist pig barmy the coward coming to the uk to tell us to vote to stay in the eu

well barmy shut your filthy mouth we do not need the views of a coward
you are no more than scum

TANKER - 14 Mar 2016 11:44 - 68846 of 81564

I have sent the coward a e mail

cynic - 14 Mar 2016 11:44 - 68847 of 81564

this is one of the few occasions on which i agree with fred

when times are good, nationalist parties have little traction or popular support
thus, in recent years and for example, there were brief flickerings that died in austria, and even fn popularity in france was very much restricted to certain locales - eg marseille


however, "open door" policies in europe and even uk have proved to be misguided at best

i hope that reaping the whirlwind will prove to be too melodramatic





TANKER - 14 Mar 2016 11:45 - 68848 of 81564

vote out let the turks take our place they are welcome to it

get us out of the stinking rotten corrupt eu

Haystack - 14 Mar 2016 11:46 - 68849 of 81564

The major cause of black crime in the US is the conditions that black people live in. That situation is perpetuated by racism in the US. It is more difficult for black people to get decent education, jobs, health care, housing, bank accounts and all of the benefits of modern society. A similar situation exists in the UK.

TANKER - 14 Mar 2016 11:47 - 68850 of 81564

we need a war to clean the world of scum give me my gun

iturama - 14 Mar 2016 11:59 - 68851 of 81564

Are the conditions. Are. Pay attention.
Nothing to do with fickle fathers then. Even OBummer had to be raised by his white mother and grandparents after he was abandoned by his father. Too many black children are being raised in one parent families. That is the real issue. Don't confuse resentment with racism. Suffer a home invasion and then come back and give me your thoughts.
You sound like Brown Hays. Was that old lady a bigot and a racist or just fed up with politicians that don't have to live with the consequences of their actions?

cynic - 14 Mar 2016 12:10 - 68852 of 81564

Don't confuse resentment with racism
is not a bad summary

btw, there's an awful lot of white single mothers too!

Haystack - 14 Mar 2016 12:19 - 68853 of 81564

It is racism that generates the conditions that give rise to the problems. That is where it begins. The stuff that Tanker spouts is pure racism.

iturama - 14 Mar 2016 12:30 - 68854 of 81564

So Tanker is to blame... where is that JC photo Stan?

The US is a nation of immigrants. Waves of immigrants have landed and pulled themselves up by their bootstraps despite, in many cases, not speaking the language or having family for support. They made it. If blacks haven't, and many have, it has nothing to with racism. That is the lazy way to define the problem.

TANKER - 14 Mar 2016 13:06 - 68855 of 81564

any one who speaks out is a racist that's why isil have grown people to scared to speak out . migrants are killing the culure in the uk they do not mix they set up their own community and shops do not speak English
so why dpo they come to the uk its simple benefits
they are migrant low life scum

the soldiers that died for the uk and the world died for nothing
the scum from war torn Syria are just cowards why will they not fight for freedom
simple they are only interested in getting free hand outs
why should the uk take muslims this is not a muslim country they only want us dead

why do they not head for muslim countries . answer because they do not want the low life scum

Fred1new - 14 Mar 2016 13:06 - 68856 of 81564

Check the legal standing rights of the "blacks" over the last 100years in many of the states in the USA.

Shaking off deprivations of ancestry and utilising advantageous social changes takes generations.

Of course, there are many who have the "confidence" to make the most use of those changes.

TANKER - 14 Mar 2016 13:07 - 68857 of 81564

Saudi
iran
Kuwait

have closed their borders and will not take them they have orders to shoot on site
any one crossing their borders
