Another Drive4show 'Anything goes' thread

[Soul Requiem]

First topic message reminder :

The far left is often dependent on where an individual themselves is on the political spectrum, for example Owen Jones may be seen as far left to someone who is centre right but to a centrist will be seen as merely left wing, personally have him down as part of the hard left.

I have him as left wing. Though is hard left not the same as far left because I dont have him as far left. I get tge views based on your own spectrum though. Which is why I hare labour supporters calling Starmer and others right wing.  Left of centre is not right wing.

I would say that hard left is within the standard left wing myself, thinking of someone like Tony Benn being hard left as opposed to Ed Milliband who was soft left, will say however that is possibly closer to far left than it is the centre.

Is that what you were then? A horrible little urchin.

A quick look at the streets of Britain shows a high amount of sub human scum and I'm sure we all know people with far too many children who have a conveyor belt of horrid little brats.

[beninho]

The other day it was not the role of the state the support hungry children.

Now, it should be the job of the state to pick snd choose who can have children.

Unsure if you want minimal state intervention or massive state intervention.

[super_realist]

It was tongue in cheek Beninho.
Of course the state cannot and should not dictate who has children. I simply wish these sub human wretches had enough brains not to breed so frequently.

I could have sworn until recently all children were obese and that was a problem.If you cannot feed your children when they are not at school you do not deserve to have any

Didn't one of your children have a stint where they were fed at the tax payers expense?

I don’t know any. Maybe speak for yourself.

I'm well into my 30's now and of the 30 guys in secondary school form only 3 have children none of whom have more than one. I see such people on the streets every day it must be said but personally don't know any of them thankfully.

Of my school and uni friend group I would say that I am now  just about in the minority (although it might be about 50/50) by not having children. And like you I am into my 30's. Although I can only think of one couple I know that have two children, and one of them is nearly 40 and the other in their 40's.

But I don't get what this proves?

Maybe I should have said "know of". Obviously I don't know such scum either, although I do know a few feral people or what the Aussie would call a Bogan.

[JuliusHMarx]

Why 'obviously'?

[super_realist]

Why 'obviously'?

Why would I know such people? You don't so why would I?

[JuliusHMarx]

I might. I'm not sure how encapsulating your definition of sub human scum is.

[super_realist]

Why would I want to be friends with such people? That's why "obviously" I don't know them personally.

It was to counter Realists assertion that we all know people with numerous children when it often isn't the case. From my experience those with a few know other people with a few likewise those without any tend to know other people without any.

[westisbest]

Only know one of my mates who has 3 children.
One of my wife’s cousins has 3 kids.
Rest of people I know have 1,2 or none.

I didn't mean to imply you were friends with any. I didn't know if e.g. you worked with any. Also I don't know if anyone I'm friends with would fall into that category, but I don't think of them as scum.

You don't think the sort of deadbeat loser who are the typical sort of people who would have appeared on Jeremy Kyle are scum? How very modern of you.

[navyblueshorts]

I could have sworn until recently all children were obese and that was a problem.If you cannot feed your children when they are not at school you do not deserve to have any

Do you think couples should be means tested before being allowing them to have children?

What if both parents have been made redundant due to Covid? Should the state take their kids off them now that they are poor?

It's mad you need a licence to watch TV, but you don't need to demonstrate you are even remotely capable to bring horrible little urchins into the world.

Not sure about that. TV license is to fund the BBC, isn't it?

It's currently illegal to watch live TV without a TV licence regardless of whether you watch BBC.

You also need a tv license to watch bbc iplayer. I switched off the signal box thing for my live tv because it seemed like a waste of energy given I don't watch live tv. But I still need a license.

Sure, but that's only to ensure people pay to fund the state broadcaster. It's a fee to fund the BBC.

[super_realist]

Yes it is, but it's still illegal not to pay it if you have a TV.

I neither watch live TV (a little bit of sport notwithstanding which I never watch alone) nor do I watch iPlayer so ditched the licence a couple of years ago.

[super_realist]

What has not watching it alone or not got to do with it?

You dont listen to any bbc radio or use the bbc website? And you don't watch any TV as its shown? Yet also don't watch any catch up or streaming bar Netflix?

What do people think of Netflix, I have it because it's only about £6 a month, but it's pretty rubbish for all that is on it to be fair. I've given up in the first 10 minutes far more times than finished programmes.

[westisbest]

I think it’s decent enough. You could get more films on it.
I’ve been told that I’m a bit weird for this, but I love documentaries on i am a killer on death row etc.

Netflix has a good few of those.

A lot of the shows aren’t for me though.

[westisbest]

I did like Down To Earth programmes. Thought they were interesting.

[beninho]

Narcos mexico is good. Schitts creek very good.

Netflix is decent enough if you avoid the original films which are largely rubbish; The Platform being an exception although being dubbed unlikely to be for SR. Snowpiercer was ok in parts, although it drifted too much in the middle.

Netflix must be the only thing you watch? So you must love that and commercial radio.

Hence why I don't use it. The only BBC program I watch is Only Connect which I see when visiting my parents, both of whom also watch it.

[westisbest]

Amazon Prime and Disney + are good to.

Mandalorian season 2 out this weekend

[super_realist]

Trouble is with all of them you have to wade through an extraordinary amount of excrement to find something decent. The best stuff is often foreign.
Netflix in particular is awful at just making lazy remakes of old films into a series with about 100 episodes to tell the same story.

Thats true, but only an idiot would not pay the license fee, which funds the website and bbc radio stations, yet carry on using the services. Because that is a real d!ck move.

[super_realist]

The point is you don't require a licence to listen to the radio, only TV.

I think the days of the licence fee are numbered anyway.
I don't think the Website is solely funded by the licence. My work PC goes through the cloud in Norway and as such websites like the BBC are full of adverts. That probably pays for it.

[beninho]

I know you don't need a license. But, if your so anti license that you don't pay for it, but still use the services it covers. Then your basically a bit of a tw@t. Or hypocrite as you like yo say.

Do get over yourself, you use websites all the time that you personally do not fund, like the one we're using now. How is it idiotic to know what I can and cannot use without a TV licence? The clue is in the name 'TV'.
