The Big DebateIf you feel the need to get your teeth stuck right into a heavy debate on a subject you feel really passionate about, then this is the place to do so. Post about religion, politics, laws and all things juicy like that here.
Just rember things where mutch worse under the last lot
Not that I remember and I started work in the mid sixties The Thatcher Government inherited a financial nightmare after the Callaghan (labour) Government were finally kicked out. Quite simply, Labour governments have always promised everything to everyone and delivered nothing in my time. Why ? because none of them has ever been able to run a simple 'current account'
Just for the sake of history, the Thatcher Government had to spend their first 7 years in power trying to get the national debt under control. The Major Government (Conservative) were just a bunch of incompetent dodgy geezers and deserved to be kicked out.
NB Every Labour Government since 1945 that has left power has also left the country in a financial shitpit. Mars has described these arseholes correctly.

I almost completely agree with you for once...
I do disagree regarding Major though, I think he was just the poor unlucky sod that was handed the poisoned chalice, at the end of the Thatcher era, at the point where power had gone to her head and had started to seriously cloud her judgement and decision making, sadly and no matter what he did, he was on a hiding to nothing.
depends on your definition of family , acordding to the Tories , my family is a "pretend family", my partner , according to the tories , should have no rights to my property should i die , he shouldn't be allowed to adopt any children i have , schools were not allowed to promote my lifestyle as an acceptable choice & spent a large amount of resources demonising my friends & family & legislating against them . As a gay man who grew up during the Thatcher years , frankly i dread Cameron getting in so that him & his cronies can create laws that erode my rights to create my Family my way. Yeah the economy may be up the swanny , but I feel my Human Rights & my family have been protected far more under Labour that any Conservative government ever did or could.

Good grief, is your lifestyle going to become compulsory under a future Labour Government ? The following sentence under your username even scares me "You Will Be Like Us" Did the Pope have a point when he implied that homosexuality and associated sexual deviance was a threat to the world ? Never mind, it's probably a typing error

Are you that homophobic? Or do you have some kind of irrational fear of homosexuality due to some kind of personal experience?
You mention the pope and the church and finger pointing at homosexuality and sexual deviance... Methinks you fail to see irony in that. Religion... Sexual Deviance... Hand in hand... Hell, they invented half the crap people get up to.
Oh and lmao... I don't know if Chakotay intended any particular meaning to his title or whether he was just using something he liked, as i'm kinda presuming and with that, I take it you don't watch much sci-fi? As "You Will Be Like Us" is a rather famous quote, which I doubt for one moment had any kind of intention of ever making anyone suddenly want to take th3 man meat....
I'm not gay (although at times I'm bloody certain it would make life a damn sight easier), but it is fairly widely known that I am pro-gay, just in case you were wondering.

Nah....none of it. Other peoples lifestyle has never adversely affected me in any way. Weeellll none that I can remember anyway This is pretty damn good stuff for generating debate though I promise to clear off to the pub soon !

I'm glad my quote scares you , i'm sure Russel T . Davies & the rest of the gay mafia will be rubbing their limp wrists with glee
yes , you will all be forced into gayness , & when we homos have satiated our unnatural urges with you , we will eat all your children
I have read your posts over the last few months Bilko & you never fail to come across as one of the most intolerant , bigoted & unpleasantly overopinionated i've had the displeasure to stumble across in my time on TF . To me , you're the perfect example of all the festering old-school rot that can't wait to get it's greedy little hands back in control of reins of power.

Tut..tut, that really is a little bitchy is it not ? However, having read my back postings, welcome to my diverse society Don't worry, we won't try to convert you or eat your children but ..........you may find yourself having to justify your behaviour in our world of reality. You are correct about me being intolerant in many things as experience has taught me clearly that society can have a bit too much democracy. Never mind, you're not the only one who can't tolerate difference of opinion
How can you justify your sexuality? Its not something you choose and you in reality cant justify, its just a part of you. Its like saying justify being white, or justify being male. I am white because I am, I'm male just because I am and im gay just because I am. As Gloria would say I am what I am!
I dont worry too much about the tories taking away gay rights, it would be very hard for them if not impossible thanks for the EU,stonewall etc.
Its only in a few states in America have some gay rights being eroded, but most of them are now are becoming more and more liberal.
Its always been pretty much labour since i grew up, Ive never really had any personal problems, I mean people say our country is messed up but I quite like it, we are a country of whiners, no matter how much a state does for us we still wont be happy, there will never be a perfect utopia,people just need to take the good with the bad and get on with thier lives.
Sorry, this is just too good to be true, most who disagree with me on this site have the intellegence / knowledge to challenge me to open debat. This is however something considerably more entertaining My apologies to other members, that old saying applies "never argue with a fool as others may not be able to tell the difference"
