    ah old men like me can't be wearing skinny jeans !

    But you don't need bootcut. Plenty of comfortable straight cut jeans out there.

    Ban: opinions.

    I'm sure there's subtle ones that I don't notice, but the ones I do notice are actually disfiguring rather than enhancing.

    I think the post lockdown world will see less heavy makeup and general artifice. I'll actually be on trend for once.

    Arrah would the pair of yee cut it out. Some of you would argue with your toenails. The thread is just a bit of craic.

    I'd ban:
    Restrictions
    Covid terminology
    Clampers
    Drills and banging on a Sunday
    Political correctness
    Third wave feminism. Or whatever wave is the extreme one.

    Jaysus what's wrong with banging on a Sunday :eek:

    Haha :) its nothing medical. Its what I call leggings that make people look like they are basically naked from the waist down. Dont know about others but I do not need to see stranger's vulval flaps and arse cellulite when I am grocery shopping.

    Same here. I say he should have a quota, he must create more than 5 and less than 3 threads a day, every day, except week days, weekend days and days ending in ‘day’.

    It happens so often that it bores you? I'd have more of an issue with the people carrying out the Islamic terrorist attacks meself.

    It’s normally a quid they are looking for in return for fundraising for a local school or sports club. It’s not the mafia shaking you down or anything. You can say no you know?

    The gleeful reaction of some people, whenever such an attack is carried out, would suggest that they have an issue with Muslims in general and are glad of an opportunity to bash them.

    Communism / Marxism / Socialism.


    Well, lead by example then.


    If you can't get Socialism banned at least man up and don't participate.


    Forego your state pension when the time comes.
    Boycott public parks, libraries, beaches, etc.
    Pull your kids out of state funded schools and get them private tutors.
    If your house goes on fire put it out yourself or have your own privately funded fire crew on standby.
    Likewise if you are a crime victim.
    Give back all the children's allowance you've ever received.
    If you or a family member has a medical card then get rid and go private.


    I'm sure there are other perks you ought to be relinquishing but you can start with the above.

    exactly! you seemed to be overly concerned about ideologies that play little or no significance in modern society, most humans have accepted ideologies such as capitalism, as being far superior, and thankfully so, banning ideologies may in fact undermine our abilities to implement democratic power and control




    I think you're being trolled.


    Rodney couldn't tell the difference between socialism and botulism and certainly hasn't a clue about Marxism. In simple terms Marxism is the theory that the workers own and share the means of production.


    So picture 3 kids. They need money. They set up a lemonade stand. They own the table, the jugs, the lemons, the sugar, etc. They labour to squeeze the lemons and mix with sugar and water to produce the simple drink which they then sell. The proceeds of their endeavours are shared amongst the 3 of them. That's Marxism.


    Now picture that a neighbourhood bully intimidates them or has their lemonade stand smashed up. He sets up his own stand and employs them to do the work as they still need money. He pockets the proceeds and gives them a fixed wage no matter how much lemonade they produce and sell. That's capitalism.
