Saying grace before dinner?


Louise's family must be Tories!

reply

Haha yeah, her Dad was a working class bloke out of work so he'd almost certainly be acting against his own best interest and voting Tory. And I'm not even joking, the country is full of people falling for their lies.

That aside, I thought that was in there cause later on the Mum is the one who's so against euthanasia. I thought her being a Jesus freak would play into that somehow.

@The_eigth-Passenger

ive got two of them in my working class northern english family, and i honestly cant say im surprised, some people are easily led.

I'm just glad my Grandad isnt around to see it because if he knew that his younger brother was voting Tory i would not want to be there when he found out lol.

I think that all of the Jesus freaks should be killed or imprisoned, because they aren't as open minded, accepting, and non-judgmental as the rest of us.

Please don't call someone a _____tard.

I really hope that was sarcasm.

It was definitely sarcasm, aimed at me.

The problem with religious people is that they don't even realise they have been indoctrinated to believe utter nonsense. Then people say "oh what's the problem, religion doesn't hurt anyone" when that is clearly not the case.

"The problem with religious people is that they don't even realise they have been indoctrinated to believe utter nonsense." Agreed, this seems to be your case.

You are a believer of political correctness, which is the official religion of our times (a religion without God like Buddhism or Confucianism). PC is full of religious dogmas that can't be discussed and lots of synonyms for heresy (racism, sexism, xenophobia, islamophobia, homophobia, transphobia). When someone opposed the dogma, their arguments are not heard, because he is evil and heretic. He is labelled and ignored.

Most of what school teaches you and mass media feeds you (that is, all these concepts that makes you feel so proud and enlightened and superior to people with other religions) is nonsense and indoctrination in the PC religion. Utter nonsense as "men who cut their penises and say they are women are really women and, if you don't agree with this absurd, you are an evil, evil person, shame on you".

Every religious believer sees his religion as "the truth" and other religions as "religions". This is your case. You don't realize that your worldview is full of irrational religious concepts that you believe because you have been indoctrinated with them since kindergarten (equality being one of them, when science has shown once and again that equality is not true).

If you don't see that, you are a deluded fool, a victim of indoctrination. Maybe you can remove your dark glasses before judging other people's beliefs instead of believing your religion is superior to other religions. Arrogance + ignorance = Dunning-Kruger effect.

Very well put. Every generation thinks that they have "arrived", and have reached the pinnacle of truth. It's ironic that this generation doesn't believe in the nature of objective truth, which is a self contradiction which is lost upon them.

Good post

Political correctness is a religion? That I am a follower of? What utter twaddle.

I recently deleted my Facebook account in large part to avoid arguing with idiots on the internet, so I'm certainly not going to do it here.

All the best.

I plan on writing an epic poem about this gorgeous pie.

I love how liberals say that people who vote conservative are dumb because they're voting against their own self-interests.

It's called voting on principles. You should try it sometime. Instead of voting to screw the 'other guy' so you can get the most unearned handouts in your pockets.

reply

You really have no idea why I vote the way I do or what I do for a living. As I have been in the Army for the past 9 years, I'd say I've earned my pay. As you are probably the sort of nationalistic Tory ball bag that thinks the Army is an amazing institution you should probably be thanking me for my service and moving on quietly.

Very well said! I would add a clarification, however, that political correctness is not the religion, but rather the fundamental doctrine of Secular Humanism, which is the official State-sponsored religion of the multi-cultural, multi-religion, multi-ethnic Anglosphere.

reply

Well at least the family isn't voting for Labour.


They struck me as good UKIPers though.

Hardly.
They are working class and aren't doing very well. If they're from up north there more likely to vote Ukip or labour. Conservatives are generally supported by the rich.
