Things that piss you off... (Part 1)

 

A girl tries to sail around the world solo, for, let's face it, her own sense of achievement gets all this media coverage, get a Qantas airbus to fly over 2000km to find her, and then says in her interviews that she 'wants to try again'. She can get f**ked. If that was me, I'd be so crazy ashamed all all teh effort that went in to saving my stupid ass, I would just apologise profusely.

 

And I have nothing against strong women also, in fact I prefer strong women to weak. Which is why I'm sure this particular woman doesn't need Dairyflat being all knight in shining armour and protecting her from me calling her a bitch. Strong women can handle such things. If I called a man a similar name, I'm sure he wouldn't single that out, which is a double standard.

 

The ironic thing is that Dairyflat more than anyone on here prob agrees with you about media and the general public's ignoring of things relating to the poorer/darker inhabitants of our planet. He's often trying to educate us all and I'm sure he often feels frustrated so many of us ignore his political threads. personally I think its also ironic being upset about people's ignoring refugees on a forum about the world cup where we all tightly keep our blinkers on and don't discuss that Sth Africa forced hundreds of thousands of the poor & black into what many equate to concentration camps to get them out of the way of these flash new stadiums

 

similar to how german villagers went about their daily lives during the war only focusing on the positives...

 

actually I wasn't trying to start a discussion about that simply pointing out to Cosimo that his worrying about refugees escaping crap conditions is ironic since we're all celebrating something that has forced thousands into crap conditions

 

Dairyflat could've argued my point but chose not to, instead he deflected by saying I was being misogynistic. Whether or not people ignore his political threads is a strawman argument. Also, there is no irony in ignoring refugees in a world cup forum in this context. I'm not comparing Abby Sunderland's case to the World Cup, or holding the World Cup to be the pillar of moral good, so it is fallacious to introduce it to the argument, which stands: Abby Sunderland's media coverage pisses me off.  

 

 

 

I'm as guilty of ignoring many of his and also Aitkenmike's liberal umm whatever the polite word for rants is lol. I'm the worse type of liberal myself and only focus on what has caught my attention for some particular reason. I was just trying to point out that you were getting mad at the one person on here who prob feels exactly like you do. I have to admit I also found it highly funny you seemed so passionatly annoyed at it since your last things that ruled post was regards a "dump" and hopefully you didn't have the same fervour of spirit (tho in the opposite direction) regards that

 

I can't be silly and serious? Isn't everyone?

 

Plus, it was a spectacular dump.

 

It wasn't Russel Norman was it?

 

"Give me my Flyer back!"

 

 

But he's "keeping it real"
