Whose next to march?

Oh dear, oh dear, perhaps there should be a march for 'DRUNKS' say?

They could carry boards saying 'DRUNK', 'ALCOHOLIC' etc.

They should feel free to drink as much as they like, without some attacking them in the street or calling for a ban on alcohol.

After all is it anybody's business how much they drink?

Well I automatically

No my obviously misunderstood analogy, was a way to try and highlight the futility of these type of marches which try and change the public's perceptions on a particular issue, but obviously I failed.


I agree,.......the suffragettes were wasting there time too. ......oh ,wait ...hang on ,,..

Now that you have entered a perfectly valid argument instead of your recent, 'follow the pack anti AOG Brigade' demands, I will certainly reply to your request.

Yes perhaps I was a little out of order with my "Well I automatically thought that some ABers were intelligent enough to look into the deeper argument" comment.

But this was in fact only to address those regulars, (hence the words 'some ABers') that know perfectly well what I mean, but just like the chance once again to be obnoxious towards me, such as Kromo's rather rude comment "Grow a damn spine and stop whining", there is just no need for such rudeness..

So I say to you Andy, and any others who generally did not understand my point, I am so sorry that I doubted your intelligence, and I take the blame completely, because it is obvious that I failed in getting my point across.

Having said all this please don't expect me to apologise every time someone fails to understand my point, others do not (in fact some never apologise) so why should I?

[ummmm]

Your question is not clear AOG. Simple as that.

It is more than obviously that this time 'YOUR' analogy doesn't work

/// I agree,.......the suffragettes were wasting there time too. ......oh ,wait ...hang on ,, ///

Excuse me but wasn't the suffragettes marches all about getting the law changed so as to give women the vote?

How on earth are these marchers hoping to get the law changed to somehow alter a perception regarding some women's dress sense?

Rest easy then, the next time the Muslims are marching. Lets not bother with a thread about it.
You obviously know full well, their march will be futile.

[Mick-Talbot]

Has anyone seen the 'Goalposts?'

[ummmm]

<<How on earth are these marchers hoping to get the law changed to somehow alter a perception regarding some women's dress sense?>>

They are highlighting it to other people AOG. To other women and men. To people so narrow minded that they think a woman wearing a short skirt is asking to be raped. To parents so they can teach their children that it doesn't matter what someone is wearing....it does not make them a slu,t...

Can you really not understand that?

[ummmm]

Or wear a Burka

[ummmm]

But the stop temptation.

[Chaffinch]

No I think AOG is saying that you should ware a Burka so that you are covered from head to toe, then you won't be raped, it you ware anything that shows flesh, you will and it will be your own fault!

[Chaffinch]

Ummmm, you beat me to it!

[ummmm]

Lol.....great minds.

[jackthehat]

But.....but......Burkhas are symbolic of 'Mans' (as in male, especially Muslim/foreign male) oppression of women......and women should be free to wear what they want.......except where it tempts men beyond all acceptable limits, so they should 'cover up'..........with a Burkha..........except..........

ooooo.....I've caught myself up in a never-ending loop of tortuous logic..........:o(

Did I say 'these marchers are hoping to get the law changed to somehow alter a perception regarding some women's dress sense'

did I ? Where ? Where did I say that?

Thank you for your response AOG.

I was about to fire off a riposte about your reference to me as "'following the pack anti AOG Brigade' demands," which obviously i deny but ...

I am sure you will agree that constantly batting to and fro the finer points of personalities and sniping simply dilutes the thread and distracts from the argument.

I fully understand that your forthright views will by no means be to everyone's taste, and that you will always attract strong and passionate argument, but do you not feel that constantly rising to provocation - which we both know is sometimes deliverate mischief-making - assists people in points scoring, which helps no-one?

I would advocate your recent approach towards myself when you felt i was being part of a concerted effort to upset you - simply ignore such posts. No-one can argue if there is no-one to argue against.

Er, were not the suffragette marches far from futile, since they did at last gain the right to vote?
