The young of today are boring little twats though. Your youth movements of the past had something about them at least, whether that be drugs, or music or the politics. Even the ** hippies were cool in their own way (they were definitely anti-establishment) but this lot are tedious perennial worriers.
Sorry I must have missed that one.
Good point
'It was cool when we did it but not when today's kids do it' is also a repeating pattern.
When people decided that using the word woke to describe an opinion they didn’t like was a good way of trying to shut people up for “fear” of being labelled woke. A bit like “leftie”
No right thinking person left or right can possibly agree with the Gillette advert.
Got Blackpool FC on my mind …..
....and those who use the word "gammon" when trying to do just the same as you describe..
It’s a fair point 20’s.
thanks lala. I got a message from the mods that my post was being deleted as it was abusive and the mods agreed that it was. They also added that it had nothing to do with being woke. I replied back to the mods that calling some-one a right wing nut job was just as abusive as calling some-one a loony leftie woke and that also the former had nothing to do with being woke. They have since failed to respond which is why I've now raised it in the thread. The first abuse was by Ollygon but his post is allowed to remain. Biased moderation once again.It’s a fair point 20’s.
And I am unbiased and neither of the above stated. Or maybe I am both
I do agree it does seem to be very one way at times and I don’t get why ?
Just seen your post.
It's just plain uncool being a woke walloper. Even worse if you're 35+ and trying to ride their ** stupid coattails. If you can persuade me otherwise, I'm all ears but even so, in any case, I decided after Covid that I'd be leading the most selfish and hedonistic lifestyle possible - so it would be wasted
Of course it wouldn't. The mods still don't agree. I simply called you a loony left woke which is no more or less insulting than you labelling people right wing nut jobs.The mods are a disgrace and ruining AVFTT. I take it that it wasn't you who reported my post. So I wonder who else it could have been? Perhaps the guy who is totally anti British who I wish would fuck off back touring his beloved ROI.
Can you blame them though? They have little chance of affording their own property or ever paying off their extortionate education, a lot of YOOF movements and bands happened because kids had a chance to just doss around after school, sign on or get grants, there's none of that these days.
Frankly, as rockontommy kind of alludes to, it would be more weird if a 54 year old was like 'you know who is really cool? 15 year olds. I wanna be like them.'
That's a good point but were you that forward-thinking and responsible at that age? I certainly wasn't. And I actually think most of these ......... are just aping what they think being a good citizen should be. They aren't actually nice people (as if that's the highest virtue). Yet.
Most of the worrying and complaining does seem to come from the older generation anyway, you just need to read this board, they're offended by anything that doesn't fit their narrow world view.
Your last private reply is utter nonsense. I reported it otherwise whar do you think you were replying to and rejecting. Shameful biased moderating. Even Ollygon who it was aimed at accepts it's all part of AVFTT. Sadly, it seems a certain poster on here has too much influence over you.
Not sure if it was forward thinking, more 'I can piss a few years up the wall and it'll all fall in to place anyway'.
I aped a hell of a lot of bs at that age. BS I thought was the right thing to say and the ‘best’ way to be.
They should just get on it non-stop. It's the only logical response. It's what I'd do anyway.
We should have less to do with the USA but unfortunately that won't be the case.
Yes since Donald left office it’s all gone bad. He would never had stood for this nonsense. Currently we have a loony PM gone are the days of Maggie.
Wether Trump was in charge or not a lot of their political and corporate stuff should just stay over there!
Good idea mate
Most people are neither walking on egg shells nor virtue signalling. They’re just evolving into better people
I’m also struggling to see much egg shell walking on this thread either.
I know palGood idea mate
You aren’t seeing all the posts either though as 20’s had his deleted.
Mods don't like the word ** either.
Only as rude as some others.
nope. In the eyes of the mods it's ok to call people tight wing nut jobs but if you reply saying loony left wing woke, some-one reports it and it gets deleted. It's tit for tat as Ollygon acknowledges and he doesn't seem to have a problem with it. Biased mods do though.
A tight wing nut job sounds like something a mechanic used to do to make sure your car stayed in one piece if you took a corner a bit too sharpish.
