That will be the same made up statement that Britain First likes to post on facebook every other week then?

This is about agreeing with the contents of a speech (made up I now accept) I never knew who released it. Its funny how people go on about letting people live as they wish but if your views are that you should be able to live without having these views forced down your neck that is wrong.
On the subject of facebook, I hate it when folk share things that are fundamentally wrong or made up (McDonald's chicken nuggets not being made of chicken, for example, or anything by Britain First), or the 'Share this and you will get good luck' posts. Are folk mental? How can a bit of code give them luck? Fannies.
I'd say that's nonsense. There may well be some straight people who get more upset about certain gay rights issue than some gay people, but I wouldn't say it's the majority.
I would agree that everybody has the same rights not to like something, but everybody also has the same rights to challenge prejudice and discrimination wherever they see it. Without people willing to stand up and exercise that right, whether it be on their own behalf or on behalf of others who are straight/gay/white/black/brown/male/female/Muslim/Christian etc. we'd be in a very dark place.
The gay rights thing was personal experience. My friends who are gay get more upset by people getting offended on their behalf than anything else. They like being treated the same in our group of friends as everyone else.. Some of my mates get ripped for being fat, ginger, the girls you pull and them occasionally for being gay, its the way we all like it. No discrimination . all treated equal. But then you get other people saying it is wrong. That is all I meant .
That, I get... you're talking about a circle of friends who know each other.
if I was on a bus and someone was sitting ripping the pish out of someone for being gay or fat or a ginger I'd say something (and I have in the past).... I'd be discriminating against gays if I didn't :agree:
People who take more than a reasonable amount of time at a cash machine when there are other people waiting. I reckon the maximum you should be there for is 60 seconds and I'm being generous with that. 99 times out of 100 you know in advance that you're going to the cashline so, when you find yourself there, it shouldn't come as a surprise that it's asking you for your PIN, whether you want to check your balance, how much you want to withdraw and whether you want a receipt slip. What are people doing at these things?
Also, people who ask you for the answer to a question and then don't believe you when you tell them. If you weren't going to believe my answer, why did you waste both our time asking the question and having me answer it?!?
Finally (linked to the above), people (usually partners) who think that their mum or dad know the answer to absolutely everything there has ever been to know. This is particularly annoying when it results in the sentence, "my mum/dad said the same as you". Aye, they did - cos it's the ******* answer!
Shop assistants with zero product knowledge.
On a similar point, guys wandering along the street with their gf's/wives that feel the need to feel their partners Jimmy Carters!
Customers who think they can say or do whatever they want because they're the customer. The customer is NOT always right.
Customers that threaten to call their lawyer. Guess what Einstein, you can't afford your forty quid bill so we all know you've not got a ****ing lawyer.
Also , the "you can't have a contract/direct debit over the phone brigade". Yes you can you ****wit.
And, the clowns who tell you they're going to do you for theft for taking a direct debit, when you've billed them exactly what they're due, on the right date, with the right notice. Good luck with that one, I can see Plod dropping everything to deal with your case.
The current McDonalds advert, vomit inducing stuff!
Folk who are relentlessly 'glass half-empty', or always look at why things can't change or happen. I don't know how these folk get themselves through life.
People on social media who have the snp logo or 'the 45' as part as their profile picture. Give it a rest, seriously.
