The only time their food look's even remotely appetising is late at night after several glasses and with my spectacles in my pocket.

Do they suppose that after refusing a customer entry to their premises whilst drunk but not causing any problems, those same customers would, once sober, be inclined to ever cross their threshold ever again?

Surely, this would cause more problems than it could ever prevent? I pity the poor sod that has to attempt giving someone a breathalyser it would be like a red rag to a bull!

When I used to deliver round Berlin I'd stay overnight at the Toc-H, that being the case I'd usually amble down to Joe Divers place "Irish Pub" (always good for a free pint or 2 & a wee nip of Irish as I delivered there) in Spandau. Always on my bestest behaviour as it was the haunt of the local Plod squad (GCP) & my didn't those boys & girls enjoy a pint or several. ;)

Next door but one was a Kebab shop which thrived on the clientèle from Joe's & yours truly when he was in town. The thing you'd get in there would to be chocked full of meat (not necessarily identified meat but meat none the less & lets face it, when you've had a few you're not particularly fussy :rolleyes:) oniogs & chillli-garlic sauce. What I didn't dribble down my front, share with stray animals or drop along my journey home would last long enough to get back to the Toccy & my scratcher for the night. :D

So are those who consider themselves to be homosexual not permitted to use any public bar ?
What kind of outcry would there be if some bars decided that they should only serve women...or black men...or heaven forbid heterosexuals.

I do not care what anyone's sexual preference is, but this constantly pandering to what is a minority is frankly tedious.

These people want to be seen as 'normal'(by their actions and those of the ultra PC brigade, they make themselves different)....but constantly play the 'homosexual' angle to get preference...it's a bit like racism isn't it...or am I not allowed to say that for fear of offending these delicate flowers?
Don't these people want to be in an integrated society where they ar accepted for what they are....human beings.

I agree wholeheartedly with your surmise, however the liberal lefties have tied themselves up in so many convoluted knots there's no way they can crawl out of the cesspool of their own misbegotten ineptitude & idiocy! they have merely deepened their quandary by reinforcing their illiberal liberal stupidity.

Ergo, their demanding the rights & attitudes of the lgbt militancy being shoved down the throats of your average bod on the street be accepted without let or hindrance or woe betide the naysayer! Yet at the same time demanding that the influx of their mohammedan pets be equally accepted because to do otherwise would be downright racist/phobic & ist!

The fact that their pet mohammedans can't abide your average kuffir, let alone the deviantism of lgbt fails to register on their irony meter tells you all you need to know about their useful idiotism.

Could you imagine the wailing and wringing of hands that would occur if 'normal' people put a sign up in the heterosexual part of the bar saying no queers, erm I mean gays (I hate that word having been hijacked by the puffs, it used to mean far more for all of us than what they use it for) in this section of the pub?

Less, like you I hate the fact that the word 'gay' (which in my book means happy, jolly, and pleasing) has been hijacked by those who are insame sex relationships.
I don't like that they put themselves forward for special consideration because of their sexuality...as if this in some way overrides every other aspect of their being.

I am not homophobic, I just don't wish to have someone's sexuality pushed down my throat.
It is not important to me to know of anyone's preferences.

Yes, it does appear that some are more equal than others. If you have very tanned skin....or have the rainbow tattooed on your butt (or any other part of you anatomy) your rights come ahead of the rest of us.
The worst thing is we swallow it thinking that it is the right on thing to do...or perhaps the thought police have got into our heads.

They aren't special nor would I call it unnatural there are examples of this behavior in other species of animals (e.g. whats good for the gander is good for the other gander,(OooH! ducky)).

No need for bars, just tolerance, which happens to be a two way street. For anything else, like heterosexuals if they want to go further then be polite and get the privacy of a bedroom.

I can get my head around it, these people are (fortunately) heading along one of Mr. Darwins dead end branches on the tree of life.

Within one generation they will have disappeared, after all if poor little Star Cloud doesn't recognise his gender he will fortunately be out of the breeding pool.

Actually, it's not true,
I really can't get my head around it, surely these people are living a lie, when the child was conceived they must have been busy recognising each others gender at the time.
Why have they dumped this on that poor child? He will go through life already having the urine extracted just because his parents chose such a stupid and irresponsible name.
When he's older he'll probably try to change it to Fred or Tom, unless his parents brainwashing works, in which case he'll choose Doreen or Brenda.

We all know that children copy the adults that they are in close contact with...a case of 'Monkey see, Monkey do'
So when these parents say this little boy puts on nail polish and wears dresses it is because he knows nothing different...he has a father who is transitioning and a mother that doesn't know whether she is Arthur or Martha.
How very confusing.

Maybe when this little boys testosterone kicks in he will aim a well directed kick to the wide rumps of his dysfunctional parents.

I wonder what the grandparents of this child make of the whole situation.

As the French say, vive la difference!

Perhaps it's time we encouraged children to celebrate the fact they were born whatever gender they are?
Why is it wrong to treat a boy like a boy, or a girl like a girl?
Within both sexes there are infinite differences as to how each child plays and reacts with the world.

Forcing them to be gender neutral is as unnatural as training a blue whale to be a tight rope walker.

Margaret Pilkington 15-08-2017 10:09

Re: Oh Hum its a funny old world
 
boys and girls need to know that they compliment each other and that they are equally valid...that their lives are for them to map out and be allowed the resaources to do that. Children of both sexes need the security of boundaries too.
Of course they may challenge and push those boundaries...but the boundaries are needed as much as love and acceptance.

You managed because like the rest of us, you are ill educated and ignorance is bliss.
We should however feel sorry for the younger ones because a little bit of knowledge is a dangerous thing, obviously it's giving them sleepless nights, so lets sack all the decent teachers and get back to status quo.

I don't think that is quite true.
We were all too busy trying to put bread on the table, to pay our bills to give much thought to much else.
Plus many of us went to night school to fill the gaps that our secondary school(I am speaking for myself here) education left us with.

What we have done over generations is give our children a sense of entitlement...that they should have all that they need dropped right into their laps...there is no elevator to success...you have to take the stairs. Many of these little darlings do not like that idea overmuch.
As parents we are to blame!

don,t think its too much about parents to blame apart from the ones that try to use the postcode lottery to their advantage at junior school level. its the schools who constantly promote the exems what the kids take. when you come out with a load of gcse passes just like your mates do then their expectations of life are much higher than when we left school.

Re: Oh Hum its a funny old world
 
I think parents have given them the things that they have wanted....I know my parents struggled to feed us let alone give us the things we aspired to.
if we aspired to something we knew that if we wanted it badly enough we could get it by working for it....and I don't know about you, but I went without things so that I could save for what I wanted.

I didn't go on foreign Holidays, I didn't go on any holiday for a long time...the money that would have been spent on such things was put into savings to buy such things as furniture, a wardrobe...or to have improvements done to my home( I figured I would still have my wardrobe when those who had holidayed abroad had lost their tans).
I never bought anything that I could not afford(no credit cards back then...just HP)
So that is what I mean...parents have brought up children who have grown into adults who expect to be able to have everything to match....and become sulky when it doesn't go their way.
Snowflakes...whingers, moaners.
Those who seem to enjoy saintly victimhood.
The poor me generation...those who have never had to go out back in the middle of winter for a bucket of coal or to use the lavatory.

Re: Oh Hum its a funny old world
 
my lifestyle years ago sounded not unlike your margaret. if you wanted something you saved up for it and probably appreciated it more than they do now after popping down to brighthouse etc. yes i might have had second hand furniture when i first got married plus a fifth hand vauxhall cresta but i couldn,t care less what the jones family had. didn,t do me or the family any harm whatsoever and probably helped em in the future life. no one moaned at the time.

Margaret Pilkington 15-09-2017 09:38

Re: Oh Hum its a funny old world
 
And that is the difference...we had low expectations, but high aspirations.
Aspirations can be worked for (and the opportunities today are better than when I was growing up)...expectations can be lifted if you are prepared to work and make some compromises.

Quite right, no machine be it a train, a ship, or a car should be called she, that suggests SHE is a bitch to work with and let's be honest most of us can get on better without the tantrums, mechanical failure is so much simpler.

And so you should be Less.(I know you didn't make the comment about steaming and hissing...but it seemed that you agree with it)
Some women might steam and hiss...but there are some(and I consider myself in this category)are helpful, low maintenance, and useful...my other half and I have been hitched for 51 years.
I feel sure that if I had been painful to live with, or be around he would have scarpered long ago.
This is not to say we always see eye to eye...but a little bit of friction makes life interesting.

You might have been unfortunate enough to have had a steamer, a hisses, a nagger...but we don't all fit into that mould.

As for my tongue...it is big enough to be effective,can be sharpened to a fine point when the need arises, can also be heated when necessary(as in hot tongue and cold shoulder) and is definitely small enough to get in my cheek...also small enough to be held :D

son it is not an assumption....it is a BIOLOGICAL fact.

Even the so called men who have had babies are genetically women...OK, they may identify as men, but if you looked at their DNA, it would show them to be female....carrying XX chromosomes....nothing can change that...no operation, no drug...nothing.
If their bones were dug up a thousand years from now and tested it would prove them to be female.

There's an advert on T.V. that uses a similarly stupid phrase as, 'Pregnant people' the woman rings her husband/boyfriend/sperm donor and announces something along the lines of 'darling we're pregnant', no they aren't, she is, he may be the cause of it but carrying it to term has to be her job that is the way it has always been done.

The Abbottpotamous strikes again, she really does epitomize the quote "It is better to remain silent & be thought a fool than to open one's mouth & remove all doubt". Seems she manages to prove this old adage pretty much every time she's placed in the spotlight, yet labour in their infinite "Wisdom?" continue to put her out there without proper grown up supervision.

The thing is though, that despite labours continual showing of their foolishness, there are those eminently more foolish who will continue to vote for them! I honestly despair, I truly do!

Some folk just need a damned good thrashing to knock some sense into them.
