  1. tell us all why then, don't keep us in suspense...
  2. There are some strange notions being thrown around this topic. To add some clarity, if only for my self, I will tell you my opinions on the matter and you can agree or disagree as you see fit. I believe in free speech and thus the NFs right to speak but I do not believe they have the right to march. Although I am opposed to everything they stand for I do not believe I have the right to silence them. But I do feel, in disagreeing with them I can and should at every opportunity oppose the racist, homophobic and bigoted views they espouse. Though I support their right to speech, I do not believe they have the right to march for the reason that they do not march to out of a peaceful desire to disseminate their views but because they wish to scare, intimidate and other wise threaten violence against those they would remove from society. Anyone who thinks they are trying to do anything else is ignorant of their motives, membership, or is a liar and possibly a member of such an organisation. The question then is: Is the NFs freedom of speech greater than the right of those they would intimidate not to be intimidated? The answer I come to is no. How in a (more or less) free and democratic society can we allow a group of people to threaten and intimidate those with a different sexual orientation or darker pigment in their skin? We cannot. Do I agree with some or all of the views expressed by groups also opposed to the NF march? Of course I do not. But I recognise that what irrespective of who they are I will support them and work with them in seeking stop the NF marching.
  3. You will never set foot in my flat again.
  4. And you could never dance to MMW and by doing so take the piss could you? Oh no. _____________________________________ ______(this is a stick apparently)__________ Sticks dont have a "right" or "wrong" end as "right" and "wrong" are subjective concepts, and being and inanimate object sticks have not developed a sense of "right" and "wrong". One day sticks might evolve to develop complex conceptions such as "right" and "wrong" and when they do they may also develop the concept of "twat" and wave their brown sticky bodies in your direction.
  5. That because you need new glasses son? Biffy Clyro are the margarine of rock/emo/whatever I want butter damit!
  6. There is a public meeting Today ( Wednesday 13th October) at 7pm, Aberdeen Arts Centre organised by Aberdeen United Against Fascism in opposition to any NF march in Aberdeen. Speaking will be Bill Knight and Dr Izard Khan, with plenty of time for contributions from the floor.
  7. It was a comment not a question (no question mark) I was comenting that you were aware; not being a smart arse. I did you misunderstood me.
  8. Here is something good about the internet: http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/technology/3604940.stm Here is something better: http://www.urban75.com/
  9. Its an accurate reflection of contemporary western society then.
  10. I guess you are aware of the irony of expressing this view using the internet. I think the internet is both good and bad. Just use the bits you want and reject those you dont.
  11. All sorted. Found someone.
  12. I'm interested, say 35...
  13. As long as your friend wants tickets so she can physically harm them in some way...
  14. Totally! Like your paid to slip it into casual conversation man not make it so obvious!
  15. How strange... Who is this "Gonzo", what does he look like, how do you know him, will there be more stories, and why did you post it here when its not anything to do with music?
  16. I know the feeling, I have lived in the flat for 2 years and not paid a deposit, but for legal reasons; to do with the morgage, an agency has to rent the property and they demand a deposit. Why not phone me and have a look at the place and see if we can sort something out.
  17. Its a nice flat and is being decorated at the moment so much of it will be newish when someone else moves in. It also has LOTS of storage space an attic and a basement and the room that is for rent is a big one. The flat has a BIG back garden which is great for BBQs. The flat belongs to my current flatmate but he is moving and doesn't want to sell it.
