RE: ALMS is it a real thing or myth?

But I think it could be argued that you are not entitled to yours under the Equality Act 2010.

RE: ALMS is it a real thing or myth?

Okay, let me explain it another way.

You're talking a load of bigotted bollux. Dino.

RE: ALMS is it a real thing or myth?


You can't really plead innocence saying you were just asking a question when you have also stated:
And now you want me shut up.

Am I being an angry little woman who must be dismissed because you don't want to listen to what the real cause of the anger is?

RE: ALMS is it a real thing or myth?

Your thread and views are no different in their discrimination than if you had used the N-word.

Discrimination is not acceptable whomever it is directed at.

RE: ALMS is it a real thing or myth?

And as I have pointed out, it's a biased and discriminatory observation fueled by a biased and discrminatory theory that is accepted as fact, conveniently for only some.

It's a circular argument which confirms the bias and discrimination in the minds of those who wish to maintain their unfair advantage. You didn't chose to be tall, neither did you achieve iit through hard work: you just got lucky.

If you truly are a big man, accept you discriminatory behaviour being shot down.

RE: ALMS is it a real thing or myth?

Yes, you are.

If you attribute a trait to a whole group of people based solely upon another trait, it's disciminatory behaviour.

A short man becomes angry and it's attributed to his height, but if a tall man gets angry it's not. We seek out the verification of our theory, but ignore the disproof that tall men are sometimes angry, too.

Generally, if people are not listened to and their true selves are dismissed, they experience anger and frustration. This is used to further confirm the erroneous fallacy.

Angry feminists, angry, riotous, dangerous black people, angry terrrorist Muslims, angry little men.

The last thing you want an oppressed people to do is get angry because that's when they will fight back. Instead of listening and recognising what is pissing them off, diminishing the validity of that anger and attempting to diminish the person is being used.

Perhaps the smallest, angriest person is the one who passive aggressively demeans others using systemic discriminatory behaviours to their advantage.

RE: Great Britain sends 2 Naval ships

It's no surprise to me that it's made matters worse.

Not that I'm knowledgable with respect to the technicalities and practicalities, just the culture and psychology.

RE: Great Britain sends 2 Naval ships

I wasn't just thinking about a solution to the current dispute.

Obviously people's livelihoods are a significant issue, but I think we need to think beyond the here and now and look at solutions for a long term future as well.

RE: Great Britain sends 2 Naval ships

I thought the new rulings due to Brexit restricted the amount the French could fish in British waters in some way.

I thought the blockade of St. Helier was about causing a functional loss to the British to use as a bargaining tool to regain their functioning capabilities.

French fishermen smuggling immigrants into the UK is a seperate issue, other than both actions stem from the fishermen's need, or desire to earn a living.

If we throw pebbles in the pond of discrimination, whether that's to do with Anglo-French relations, or immigration issues, how can we see any effective solutions?

RE: Great Britain sends 2 Naval ships

No, I wasn't.

Presumably they do it for a fee, which is the same reason that they want to blockade St. Helier - they want an income. dunno

RE: Great Britain sends 2 Naval ships

Why should fishermen be responsible for immigration issues? confused

RE: I don't consent...my body my choice

I'm not a great lover of vaccines, particularly shoving loads of them at once into tiny babies.

I'm a great believer in natural resilience, but then I've mostly been lucky enough to be naturally resilient.

Yes, there appears to be more allergies and autism, but again 'cause' is not the same as 'correlation' and it's important not to confuse the two. This is something you just don't seem to be able to wrap yur head around, nor take on board.

I've had the covid disease to ill effect and one dose of the AstraZenica/Oxford vaccine to no ill effect. I would normally shy away from vaccines and have thus far refused the 'flu shot.

I had the covid jab because I have a child having my asthma attack in the back of my fancy car and my priorities are different from if I fancied a trip to the seaside.

RE: I don't consent...my body my choice

Would that be so I could have a trip to the seaside, or a trip to the hospital because I had a child having an asthma attack in the back?

RE: Great Britain sends 2 Naval ships

No, I don't think it does.

You're missing the point of having undisturbed breeding areas with respect to long term sustainability and bounty.

We all need to make changes towards sustainability. It's not just about a centuries old rivalry between the French and British and it being all their fault.

We are all at fault.

RE: Great Britain sends 2 Naval ships

Fish quotas are different, aren't they?

That's how much fish can be taken, rather than leaving no fishing zones.

No fishing zones allows for undisturbed breeding areas which is the salient point with respect to sustainability, as I understand it.

RE: Great Britain sends 2 Naval ships

I watched David Attenborough's witness statement documentary recently, which was excellent.

In it he reported on an island in warmer climes that was dependent upon it's fishing, but at one point had significantly depleted it stocks. The people introduced a policy of 'no fishing zones' to allow stock in those areas to recover.

The thng is, those areas not only recovered, but stocks plentifully spilled over into their allowable zones making the industry sustainable.

Whilst I appreciate that some people will be desperate to maintain their livelihoods, unless we take action towards long term sustainability, those livelihoods will be lost anyway, but with more far reaching consequences to the ecosystem.

Well, it came across as magnanimous.

RE: I don't know about anyone else but...

That's very magnanimous of you. tip hat

RE: I don't know about anyone else but...

I realised that the 'sarcasm' comment was a false, or irrational accusation as well.

It didn't reflect on you, so don't let it bother you.

RE: Rent

It's called 'surrogacy' not renting.

Some women act as a surrogate as a favour to a friend, or family member, some for the price of expenses only, some for profit.

Sometimes it works exceedingly well, bringing joy and closeness to families.

Sometimes it's disasterous, resultng in heartache, law suits and rejected children.

RE: Is there anything men do that women hate?

Hate is a strong word.

And most fitting for leaving the toilet seat/lid up when flushing.

The lid is there to stop microscopic droplets of whatever was in the toilet from floating round the room and landing on your toothbrush and everything else.

The NHS removed all their toilet lids thinking that there would be fewer surfaces for potentially harmful material to settle on and then found they made a big mistake with respect to cross contamination.

Especially given the current pandemic, it's about time you all learned this simple hygiene practise. Of course, many men respectfully and sensibly already do this.
