...Yep the nasties come out of the wood work. To stand any chance of getting into no 10 Rodders you need to purge the nasties.

9.33.It's ok to call someone "ignorant" this is sensible debating that everyone has been calling for in the news section?

untitled. //i did not say that "those who reap the benefits of their efforts shouldn't" naomi... //

No? They’re just lucky then, aren’t they. People who say what you’re saying either don’t have the brains, the wherewithal, the impetus, or the determination to work 24/7, to take chances, and to put everything they have, both physically and financially, into doing what those they criticise have done. You resent them having what they have but you wouldn't mind having it yourself. Heard it all before - and it doesn't wash.

[naomi24]

Pimply, look up 'ignorant'.

[Untitled]

you have no idea what i have or don't have naomi... you don't even know my name. curious behaviour indeed for mrs "i don't lie" lol.

what i actually said was "there is nothing wrong with doing well but there is something wrong with pretending you weren't lucky"... that's it... I do think those of us who do well should recognise the good luck we have enjoyed and perhaps refrain from treating the less fortunate like something one has stepped in.

how very telling that such an idea got right under your fingernails

[naomi24]

And you have no idea about me either, untitled. I know what you said and for most people luck doesn't come into it. They work - and damned hard!!!

[pimplyteen]

Considering posters on here complained of being weary of continuous repetitive nonsense in the news section and blaming 2/3 posters for it? depends who's doing it by the looks of things. Don't need advice from you naomi

[naomi24]

Since you've misunderstood a word I've used, you clearly do need advice from me, pimply.

[Untitled]

doing well largely consists of taking advantage of opportunity (and yes working hard at it...) whether or not you possess the confidence, the good health (mental or physical) or the necessary faculties to take advantage of opportunities - and whether they come at all - is not something that any of us are really in full control of. I don't believe in looking down on people who lose out.

[pimplyteen]

You clearly need to stop bullying and insulting posters, your getting out of hand, big time for sure.

How strange that the best answer goes to Spicerack?
What was that about Neanderthals and diversity?
Odd that you chose this highly homophobic reply then as Best Answer?
Since I reported it, the BA has been removed, yet the post itself remains? The one about mince pies and fairy cakes.
I mean, seriously, in the 21st century? Neanderthal doesn’t come close.

That most definitely breaks Rule Number 6 and I’m shocked that it’s actually been allowed to remain on this website, one that is owned by an openly gay man.
I’m sure he’d be mortified if he knew what was being posted?

[naomi24]

Doing well also consists largely of making opportunity. No one is looking down on people who don't do well - we can't all be super duper entrepreneurs and society would be in a mess (literally) without dustmen and sewage workers - but to say that luck is always involved in success is absolutely wrong - and it is insulting - but you don't care about that.

10.52 ,Pimply,,,, look up Naomi, and the answer will be Ignorant.

[pimplyteen]

For sure gully.

"No one is looking down on people who don't do well"

and yet earlier this morning...

"People who say what you’re saying either don’t have the brains, the wherewithal, the impetus, or the determination to work 24/7, to take chances, and to put everything they have, both physically and financially, into doing what those they criticise have done. You resent them having what they have but you wouldn't mind having it yourself. "

"And thats why you are there in your mums basement tapping on AB while Rishi runs the country from his pile. "

these attacks are obviously based on the assumption that i am poor...

Luck is always involved in success... to be successful is by definition to be lucky.

why are you so determined to take offense at this?

[naomi24]

untitled, taking 'offence' is not something I'm prone to. Had you been there and done it, you wouldn't be saying what you’re saying because you would know better so just telling it like it is. And incidentally, for clarification, the second quote you posted isn't one from me.

[ToraToraTora]

gawd elp us Rambo's back!

[New Judge]

//Luck is always involved in success...// to be successful is by definition to be lucky.//

Indeed. The harder I worked, the luckier I seemed to get.

//...to be successful is by definition to be lucky.//

I don't think so. I know many people who have been what you might call successful. They've not always ended up wealthy (that's not the sole measure of success) but have done well in their chosen careers because they worked hard at it. There was little or no luck involved.

ABs owner is a gay man?

[naomi24]

His name and age are freely available - the rest is either the result of speculation, imagination, or Fatticusinch’s unhealthy obsession with other men’s sex lives. I’d say it’s no one’s business and should never have been posted.
