Could not agree more with the 13:13 post ...

[Spicerack]

UKIP are on the up with or without Tommy.
Lol, luckily I kept the posts from the experts who said they were finished.
Have you ever noticed that the same group of people on AB are remarkably consistent in their predictions, they're wrong about everything.
(doesn't ever shut them up though)

No ZM, you took it out of context and in the reply.

What I originally wrote was

"Much of it resonates with the man on the street"

And it does.

followed by
"The man on the street tends to be the majority." in reply

Which he is.

well he's got one box ticked, football hooliganry is de rigeur these days: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ian_Lavery

YMB. The man on the street is not the majority. Assuming he is means you think everyone thinks the same way, which takes me back to my point that to assume such a think is sheer stupidity and is in no way a sound basis to make a debating point on.

You're much better just chipping in and agreeing with Tora than trying to go it on your own and making nonsensical comments.

YMB - // And here we go again, I am superior to thou so my view stands yours does not is what you are saying. //

No, that's not what I am saying - which is why I didn't say it.

You're right, but daily robotic thoughtless groundless Islam-bashing on here is the price we all pay for free speech.

[andy-hughes]

YMB - // The man on the street tends to be the majority. I take iyt from your statement you are not a fan of democracy. //

Then you take it incorrectly - again.

// Trying to link the man on the street to Hitler really crashes any credibility you had. //

With you perhaps - I think I can live with that.

So, isn't there a rule or law or theory that in most prolonged discussions somebody will eventually, in desperation, stoop to mentioning Hitler?

I believe there is, but I never 'stoop', and I don't do 'desperation', so I wouldn't worry about it.

When you demonstrate that it's groundless rather than just repeating your persistent uninformed opinions, others who can and do demonstrate that it isn't may begin to take you seriously.

Naomi - // andy-hughes, //daily robotic thoughtless groundless Islam-bashing //

But they don't demonstrate that it isn't - they just bash away, day in day out - that is rather my point.

As to whether 'they take me seriously or not … ' that is the domain of the terminally paranoid on here who live their lives in meaningless fear and anguish.

I am not part of that clique, I don't care if they take me seriously or not.

[naomi24]

They do ... not that you notice.

[andy-hughes]

Naomi - // //But they don't demonstrate that it isn't//

I could post 'Oh not they don't!' - such is your constant childish gainsaying of anything I right, but in keeping with my avowed stance of not caring, I am going to stop tit-for-tatting with you - it bores everyone else (and me!) and gets threads derailed and deleted.

[-Talbot-]

If it bores you why do you do it so often?

[andy-hughes]

Talbot - // If it bores you why do you do it so often? //

There's no point stopping tit-for-tatting with Naomi, just to start it up with you, is there?

If you've got something to ask me about the thread, then please feel free, this conversation avenue is now closed.

[-Talbot-]

Why so often... And with so many.

[andy-hughes]

Talbot - in case you missed it -

If you've got something to ask me about the thread, then please feel free, this conversation avenue is now closed.

[sanmac]

But he is asking about the thread. Threads do, as I'm sure you've noticed, go off on tangents and different directions. This one has now taken a direction, avenue if you like, with which you are not comfortable.
