AshC 447 Posted November 17, 2020 Report Share Posted November 17, 2020 Cheers guys. No wonder the left never win an election here. Any views outside of the echo chamber and you're a dunce or a racist monster or both. It's an exhausting subject and I apologised for getting involved. That should be that. But I'm sure it won't be.

AshC 447 Posted November 17, 2020 Report Share Posted November 17, 2020 Sorry you feel like this. I'm as left as they come. All skeletons are the same colour. But put the boot in if it makes you feel good, by all means. The 87 final will still be one of my favourites. Cheers. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
SuperBacon 7,609 Posted November 17, 2020 Report Share Posted November 17, 2020 God, you get cancelled straight away for giving a half hearted, vague, non descript opinion on the Off Topic section of a wrestling forum these days. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Person A states something as fact, person B (and CDEFG) ask for an example of it, just one example, person A doesn’t or can’t give one and acts hard done by. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

I think I already knew this (Today I Relearned?), but this has sort of shocked me a bit. That's not that long ago is it? Further to this, while that was the last execution for Murder, the death penalty wasn’t officially abolished until 1969. However, the death penalty remained in law (although wasn’t used, obviously) for crimes such as Treason until 1998 when it was withdrawn under the Crime & Disorder Act.  Edited November 17, 2020 by WyattSheepMask Quote Link to post Share on other sites

The left? Echo Chamber? Dunce? Monster?  Apparently that makes you 'exhausted'? and we're the baddies. If you want to talk talk, dont presume, as said before. Also if you think something is potentially offensive before saying it, then do not say it because it's probably offensive.. Tada!

Mind you they were still birching you for being drunk until fairly recently.  Quote Link to post Share on other sites

(It wasn’t Lucas) In Paris, there are five stone slabs set into the pavement of Rue de la Roquette. These were the foundations for the guillotine. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Paid Members Arch Stanton 898 Posted November 17, 2020 Paid Members Report Share Posted November 17, 2020 The pile-on feels massively unfair to be honest. It's pretty obvious that AshC hasn't tried to offend there. I've seen a similarly unnecessary pile-on in the Covid thread today too. It's not a good look, this place is better than that. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
