blathin: You think? Then why are there still children having to do a full days work in places like India and other third world countries...not as far fetched as you might like to believe...and if it weren't for the collective the big industrialists would still have our children working all day if they could get away with it....It's only been in the last 30 odd years men started to live past their 65 birthday, when they retired..because working conditions were so bad. They were no sooner retired then they died....

The car industry had plenty of dangerous conditions.....and still do. But that's not the point. The unions were there primarily to ensure fair wages and decent working conditions..
It’s still ongoing in some Asian factories in England.
Bad working conditions, low wages etc .
The unions in the 70s & 80s became too powerful & held their respective industries to ransom.
They abused their power , thus bringing their industries to its knees .
I don’t think MT unforced the old days of child labour

doh laugh

blathin: I know doctors who would agree...and one who is a regular user...for pain because pain killers are too dangerous to use regularly whereas cannabis isn't....

But obviously I know better? Seriously? Cheap, snide sarcasm? Seems you're not above the nasty comments that you derided others for either...
Stop getting emotional.

Youcannow: Just because I don’t agree with your political views , doesn’t make me a misogynist as you claim .
I’ve treated you with the upmost respect & have been corresponding with you on this thread for days .
I liked our discussion & I respect your opinions , which I why I’ve taken the time to answer you .

Obviously , you don’t seem to feel the same way , so let’s just leave it at that & remain frienamies
other than to express disgust at what Maggie Thatcher did to her own country and her own people I haven't given any political views.

I had already explained that drugs were legal prior to the 50's but you flat out denied it. then soon as some other man comes on and says the very same thing you acquiesce to him.. THAT is misogyny my dear man...blatent misogyny.

No, you didn't, you treated me like a typical middle aged european white male who thinks women are stupd and can't think for themselves......and when you ran out of steam and realised your "opinions" weren't getting traction you resorted to that nasty comment about my knowing better than some doctor you know.....That's not respect youcannow ,it's thinly veiled disrespect....and as a women who works in a male dominated field I can spot it a mile away....there are many men who can't stand it when a woman can confidently correct him and put him right...what's really annoying is that I'm not trying to be personal, but they are very personal about it and it's tedious to be honest....that's so typical of men it's not even seen as misogyny, ,but it is misogyny

yes I enjoyed it to a degree, but to be honest a bit baffled at how blinkered you seem to be about what really happened in England and the effect it's had and will keep having for generations...I just assumed you were just trying to stoke the flames..handshake

I remember Arthur Scargill as a child, he seemed a very unpleasant man to me but then again I was just a child. I don't doubt he contributed to the decline of the unions in England....

No, lol... of course she didn't....but I bet any money if she were around in the 1800's she'd have taxed them to the eyeballs..or found some way to make their lives even more of a misery...

And I already said that drugs were only used for medical purposes & not for recreational use .

Don’t patronise me .
I know full well what went on in the 70s & 80s .
I know more about commerce & have experienced more in business than you can dream about .
If you’re poor and have to live in Glasgow of all places , that’s not my fault.
So please . Don’t get all defensive and prove me wrong with facts not opinions .

I don't understand why you marginalize females and put them down, as far as I can see they have all been polite and presented their arguments in a rational way, but still, your response is threats to say you will use the nods to shut ue up. Does that make you seem reasonable????

Do you drink alcohol? smoke? eat junk food? Drive a car? breathe in city car fumes every day?

They're all just as bad and in some cases even worse. hundreds of children die worldwide due to car fumes. Not one child has ever died as a result of smoking a joint...

and don't get me wrong. apart from twice, many years ago and many years apart, I never ever use the stuff, but that doesn't mean I wouldnt if the circumstances called for it...I'd use it before i'd ask the doctor for some sort of pills...because they're the ones that are seriously dangerous, it only takes two weeks constant used to get addicted to sleeping tablets....cannabis isn't usually addictive...

Now now, no need to get personal. You don't know anything about me and I don't feel compelled to argue with those personal comments about me either, if you want to believe that rubbish then be my guest....

I'm not getting defensive, you are getting angry though.. So why not have a wee toke for yourself and get a good nights sleep, you'll be grand tomorrow comfort grin

I only drink alcohol on social occasions , I don’t eat junk food , I smoke but wish I never started .

Ok , I agree that weed may have some medical benefits if used responsibly, but why would anyone take it sparingly, for what purpose , other than to get high .?
You’ve lived your life without it , so I don’t understand what the benefits it of using it like the majority of “hood puffers”do nowadays.
It’s an expensive hobby , especially for Youngster and legal or not , people will get money by any means to satisfy their habit .

So by your own admission you take at least two potentially dangerous drugs, one of which you are hopelessly addicted to. In spite of that you put down people who use a far safer and much less addictive drug. Not entirely sure how you can justify that.

dunno

As I stated earlier , I wish I never started smoking , but it wasn’t considered as dangers back in the day .
I never promote smoking & always encourage people not to start .
Smoking weed leads to brain cell & memory loss , if abused .
You can’t deny that .
