The Bottom Of My St Has Geese & Peacocks
 
So, often I see children of most races bringing these animals bits and pieces of food, both they and the birds love it.

Today I saw a young man and his sister feeding them, 'Hello says I, I know you you live a little further up the street.'

I hear a car door open and close behind me, Darth Vader has left the nearby auto, Hello less, haven't seen you for a while how's things going?

It turns out, she is the childrens Mother, someone I have had many polite conversations with.

I'm confused because I can't tell who she is, kids I recognise black apron? Nah, sorry don't remember!

Sorry love says I, even though you may be someone I know, I can't talk to a KKK member even if they are wearing black sheets and pillow cases, next time we're on the street and I recognise you, then we'll talk.

I couldn't tell if I'd upset or insulted her, there wasn't much expression that can be displayed in a small slit for the eyes.
:(

Hugh Muir had an interesting piece in yesterday's Graunidad titled "Hideously Diverse Britain Who Discriminates? Who Doesn't?"
Paraphrasing the good bits: Without scrutiny many of us still place one group usually our own ahead of another. The defining issues are power and opportunity, some have the power to inpose those prejudices whilst others are impotent Less. There is no monopoly of virtue just humans of many descriptions.

Well, I'm not sure, I keep re-reading your post,

In plain English, what on Earth do you mean?

I found a person I considered my friend, hidden behind cloth, she had to tell me who she was, I don't want to be told, I want to see the person so that I can smile as I recognise a friend.

In the news we've had some obsessive that came over to the Country and randomly killed, Only reason? he thought himself white and superior, I don't want that to happen to anyone, how though can I protect someone if I had to, when they are covered in cloth and I don't recognise them?

I want my friends to be as trusting of me as I am of them, anyone covered has something to hide, unfortunatly, I'm most reluctant to defend Zorro, he/she can look after themselves.

Re: The Bottom Of My St Has Geese & Peacocks
 
Well I find it quite pathetic Less, here’s a Mum taking her children to feed the ducks and geese in all innocence, no doubt her brood were full of the joys of autumn.
She shows a bit of common courtesy by giving you the time of day and gets rebuffed when you suggest to her she is a member of US white supremacy group aka. The nightshirt knights. Disgraceful behaviour from you. And how is the mum to explain your responses to these bright-eyed young innocents? *
Now you try to defend your actions in trying to link it all to a white Ukranian extremist,unmasked I add. Pathetic.
Breaking news: In London’s Brick Lane area an American has been scarred for life after being attacked by a group of Asian men using bottles. From the cctv pics released today they too were unmasked.

*Maybe now they are a bit more wary of dodgy old men approaching them with the chat up line “Hello I know you, you live further up the street”

I don't think that is quite what Less means, although, I am pretty sure he will correct me if I am wrong......I think he is lamenting the fact that this lady could recognise him....because his face was visible....but that he was denied the opportunity of recognising the woman as a friend because she had chosen to adopt the niqab.
You have taken offence at Less for offering an opinion....a point of view.

How we interact wit those around us is very much tied up with visual cues....being able to see and recognise faces.
You malign Less by calling him a 'dodgy old man'......this isn't how the lady saw him, because she knows him as a neighbour.

I would not call your attitude towards Less 'pathetic'.....but merely questionable.

Margaret Pilkington 23-10-2013 10:19

Re: The Bottom Of My St Has Geese & Peacocks
 
Oh, yes and if you read the post you will see that the lady spoke to Less first...because she could see and recognise his face.....and perceived no threat to either her or her children.

DtheP47 23-10-2013 11:17

Re: The Bottom Of My St Has Geese & Peacocks
 
Here’s a scenario to ponder on:
Bright eyed young kids feeding the ducks with Mum sat in her car watching over them. She sees this scruffy old geezer approach her children and try to engage them in conversation.
“Uh Oh” Thinks Mum “I’d better check this old cove out, what with all one reads in the papers about stranger danger and stuff these days”
“Hello Less haven’t seen you for a while, how’s things going”

Less 23-10-2013 12:42

Thank you, Margaret for coming to my defence, if in future you feel a need to do similar, feel free to jump in.
Unless of course you are wasting your time trying to defend me from DtheP, he really isn't worth worrying about.
No doubt he will continue in the manner he has adopted, well, let him, if he feels better attempting to score points in his posts, then let him think he is wonderful, we know different.

Aren't you just being a supercilious twit?
Quite disparaging too.
I see the scene in an entirely different perspective....which I think I have explained in my defence of Less.
Tell me, how do you determine who you are speaking to......don' t you look at their face?

A niqab makes it impossible to decide whether the person behind it is a friend or not.
You have dreamed up your scenario to justify your comments.

I’ll accept twit Margaret in my snarking of Less but no not supercilious.
Less posted about the woman in pejorative terms, now that’s supercilious.
How do I determine who I am speaking to you ask? Voice recognition certainly comes into the equation in many instances.

Sometimes it would be wise for you to read your post before pressing 'submit reply'.

In this thread you have posted 'impotent Less' and now 'twit Margaret'. :eek:

That is how your post comes across.
Sometimes I feel that you consider yourself much superior to us Accyweb 'plebs'......again that is how I perceive these posts....and it isn't an admirable trait and it will not win you any friends....but then maybe you aren't bothered about gaining any Accyweb friends.

Re: The Bottom Of My St Has Geese & Peacocks
 
As for Less posting, in what you call 'pejorative' terms....he was expressing an opinion. He is, like all of us, entitled to do this.
It was something to get his point over. The point which seems to have gone right over your head. He was, telling us that he had spoken to this lady in the past...be could recognise her as a neighbour....but could no longer recognise her as she had taken to covering her face.

Anyway, I think Less was right......I am wasting my time, so I will stop now.The sun is shining and a walk along the beach seems much more inviting.

Again I thank you Margaret however may I remind you anything you say to this 'gentleman', is a waste of time?
He has been agin' me from the moment he came on site.
Perhaps he thinks for him to dominate, he has a need to put me down?
I really don't care, I/we/all of us put forward our views.

Does it matter that he spends his time trying to attack me?

Nah, he wastes his time and the words, he looks for in an online Dictionary.
No one talks the way he try's to brag.

Less 24-10-2013 20:24

The Bottom Of My St Has Geese & Peacocks
 
Allow him his opinion, without it he will be as mediocre as the rest of us.

In all honesty for the site to survive, we all need criticism, just a shame, he only wants it to survive to prove how clever he is.

Now, ignoring him, hands up everyone that would like to go back to everyone joining in an anything goes thread that is stupid, but getting 20 odd posts per hour ?

This site used to be friendly and silly, no one was frightened of posting any kind of comment.

Now, well, we can see how it's ended up.

Cheers DtheP you have helped the site become unfriendly.

You carry on endorsing Less’s bdelygmia with your click click clicking of the Like button Margaret it’s your perogative. Everything is a matter of context and interpretation.
He was obnoxious and rude to a woman doing nothing other than watching over her kids.

Guinness 25-10-2013 13:13

Re: The Bottom Of My St Has Geese & Peacocks
 
When attempting to communicate or spar with another on a forum, it is extremely bad taste to use obscure words in an effort to show some sort of verbal superiority.

It is never clever to use words just to sound smart, because it invariably has the opposite effect. Pretentiousness is not a good trait, especially in an adult.

I agree everything is a matter of context @ interpretation, And as far as i'm concerned, people who come or adopt a country are rude @ obnoxious when they cover their faces up wi these garments, This has sod all to do wi any religion, The ways,rules,laws, of the country yeh choose to reside in should be adhered too,its as simple as that.

but...

'sesquipedalian' usually debated by Patrick Campbell and Frank Muir at 8.30pm on Call My Bluff, when most scousers are turning their electric meters back round so they only get charged off peak :p

You can synchronise your moral compass Margaret with someone who makes an innocent woman the object of his ridicule and humiliation in front of her young children if you want to. Again your perogative Mrs P. He then bragged about it on this thread seeking approbation. I labelled him a flat track bully several weeks ago I have upgraded that to just a bully plain and simple.

Yes we are all fallible, but when do you cut any slack?
You read what you want into posts, twist what has been said, to do what?
Attempt to score points where no points are needed (except within your ego).

You have a long history of attacking folk, we really don't care, keep it up, have you noticed? People are just getting tired of your holier than thou attitude not just because you aren't holier, you just want to prove you can walk on water, here's a clue, Jesus did it whilst on the surface not struggling for breath in the lake gasping to be recognised.
Now, how about that slack of yours, you want it?
Cut it for others you may get a better response.

DtheP47.....the word you want is prerogative. I know this not a typo because you have spelled it this way twice now.

As for my moral compass, I neither need,or want your advice on that.
I have never had a problem calibrating it.

You have entirely missed the point that Less was trying to make......and I do not feel disposed to labour this point anymore....the chicken needs turning!

On matters avian Eric.

My old mate Wandering Walter used to ask “Which would you rather tackle Fettler – one horse sized duck or 10 duck sized horses?” I used to blink and think “ What the duck are you on about Walt?” and Walter would smirk at me gnomically. I know now what he was getting at. :D

That comment will not bother Cashy one little bit.....as for me......well, thankfully, I do not need to rely on you to tell me whether I pass muster.

What a very unstable place it must be up in that ivory tower he has constructed on top of the very large pedastel with the only materials that he has at hand, his over-inflated and petty ego.

However the view from up there must be magnificent, not only of Accrington nor even East Lancashire, but he has all the answers to put the whole World to rights and we are lucky enough to have him observe and comment on the faults of we mortals. It's just a shame that for a man that can be so generous with his advice, he seems just a little too selfish to stick a few pictures on here so we can look in envy at the grand vista he imagines he has of everyones faults except his own.

They are no doubt locked deep in the dungeon of his mind, never to be displayed, along with modesty and a need of friendly companionship.

He should not be criticised for this but swamped in sympathy from all the real caring human beings there are in the World.

Come on everyone, let's have a virtual group hug and show him that he, like a boil really does matter.

Bless you DtheP47 may all you troubles be of your own making, hug, hug.

They should also be kept away from ale houses, why do these people carry their own tankards fastened to their belts? God you get behind a crowd of them and you never get served, each of them is always checking their own well thumbed copy of the Camra guide as if they actually know what they are drinking.

Me too .... the November gales have arrived; and my power went out for a while ... ;) So, I had a couple of beers, and smoked a little gold seal. Now the whole room is rocking from side to side ... an illusion, I know, but what the hell ... as Macbeth pointed out, "There's nothing serious in mortality. All is but toys. So, why not drink a bunch of Bomber" (The last bit is mine, eh.):D

And just to keep on topic: The bottom of my street is Lake Ontario ... there are no peacocks; but lots of geese, ducks, trout, salmon, bass, walleye, and various other tasty morsels.:)

You're tying it in the wrong place. Pick the right place and she'll stop snoring immediately and her restless leg will settle down in no time.

You failed to recognise the serious point Less was making about not being able to realise friend from foe and didn't link it with the possibility of a suspected terrorist escaping dressed as a woman. Instead you pontificated about inherent racism and bullying.

No Guinness I didn’t miss the point at all. The Wizard of the Withering Retort makes mention of his confusion in his opening post swanking on this thread how he rounded on a woman for being, err? different, in an episode of unerring gracelessness. A series of cheap shots at a woman and kids, from someone truculently stupid and morally moribund in failing to embrace people’s diversity and respect for different cultures. His words and actions represent an ugly corrosive attitude that has no place in any level of society and should not be tolerated.
And yes you are correct I didn’t link it with a suspected terrorist escaping in a burqa but fear ye not, I now have my old mates from the SAS staking out the bottom of Less’s street. Not sure if the usual Multi Terrain Pattern MTP camouflage will allow them to blend into the background down yonder so I’ve suggested to them hang a few old KFC trays, Guinness and Coke cans from their webbing. That should do the trick.

Not to worry, just because you can't find room in your heart to tolerate me, doesn't mean I will resort to your name calling tactics.
You have for some reason had a grudge against my existence ever since you arrived on site, what a day that was for everyone, being allowed to bask in your glory and sit at the feet of one so Godly.
I take it the virtual hugs aren't doing you any good?
Still, they can't be doing you any harm either so let's try again with a little more passion, hugs and kisses from me to you, you poor little man.

Does that mean I shouldn't wear my "I Think Therefore We Have Nothing in Common" t-shirt?;)

No doubt "petard" is an appropriate word when discussing Islam and walking duck blinds. On a daily basis, suicide bombers are hoisted by their own petards. Problem is they hoist a whole bunch of innocent folks along with themselves. What was "sport" to Hamlet has now become serious business.

I, personally, find nothing offensive in DtheP's unwillingnes to eschew obfuscation. What does offend me are the insults thrown at C'mon every time he posts. "Clown" and "idiot" are the common responses of more than one member. This kind of ad hominem bs rebuttal to someone's opinion has no place in reasoned argument.

But, backing away from being serious, the French word for "fart" has its roots in "petard". Seems like farting is something one shouldn't do when wearing a burqa.:eek:

Of course not Eric, in all your postings you have demonstrated intelligence without trying to infer/imply that you know better than any other member....you do not appear to hang out your intelligence, like a damp teatowel or a wet vest.

I think that once someone starts calling another member names, it denotes that their bit of the discussion/argument is lost....and name calling isn't big and it isn't clever.

In general, I would agree. But ... there's always a "but" isn't there;) ... there is an art to insulting. Churchill was damn good at it. So was Johnson: "Sir, your wife, under the pretence of keeping a bawdy-house, is a receiver of stolen goods":D Another fav of mine is a music critic's assessment of an orchestral performance: "Last night, the Minneapolis Symphony played Beethoven. Beethoven lost."

But, as I said, in general, I agree with you. Name calling is the last refuge of those whose arguments are threadbare to begin with.

And what about that spiffing wheeze the Wizz pulled in the supermarket a while ago? Slipping a packet of pork scratchings amongst a poor Jewish (or was she Muslim? I forget) woman’s shopping, then swanking and sniggering at the hulabaloo he caused on this forum, ...respect for different cultures eh?

So does that last post constitute an agreement that you do not know who is under a Burqa?

With nuns habit at least you can SEE the face of the person under the habit...and many Nuns these days do not wear such clothes, as they feel they prevent them from doing the job they are allocated by alienating them from ordinary people.

Burqa's do exactly the same thing...they isolate the wearer, and intimidate those around them.

Yes Margaret
But we are talking about several hundred people in a country of 60 million. In other words it is perhaps 0.001% of the total British population. This is therefore a debate about something that would affect a very few people directly. That's important to bear in mind.
The chances of the Wizz or you tripping over a discarded Toblerone wrapper and finding a terrorist lurking amongst the Peacocks and Geese are what??

I don't know where you get your statistics from.
There are some towns in this country where a third of the population is comprised by people from this ethnic background.
Your levity (or perhaps what you perceive as levity) does not detract from the gravity of the situation.
I am bored with your responses, they are nothing more than point scoring exercises.
