B.C.G. JAG Posted June 8, 2010 Report Share Posted June 8, 2010 How about a zany slogan like 'From each according to their abilities, to each according to their needs'? How about "Bankers of the world, jump from a height, you have nothing to lose but your champagnes." Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
spider jag Posted June 8, 2010 Report Share Posted June 8, 2010 Anyone who knows me will know my political/ethical views etc very well - ain't no secret. Just resent ANYBODY telling me how 'we' as a group or particular 'brand' of the populace are generally meant to behave - don't get me wrong - if everyone thought same as me - easy peasy - but that would defeat whole point of society in my view! Havin said that (as someone startin up their own business!) I would still say - racism, fascism etc - GTF! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chris near Oxford Posted June 9, 2010 Report Share Posted June 9, 2010 In other words - Take the wealth off the industrious and ambitious (the ones with abilities) and give it to the ne'er-do-wells and the lie-a-beds (the ones with no abilities). You seem to have a believe that poor people deserve to be poor and rich people deserve to be rich. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jaggybunnet Posted June 9, 2010 Report Share Posted June 9, 2010 You seem to have a believe that poor people deserve to be poor and rich people deserve to be rich. sorry for jumping in dave. even i didnt read it that way i think he ment that people who actualy work for it or push to better them selves rather than those that dont bother and sit on there **** expecting it to come to them.

danish jag Posted June 9, 2010 Report Share Posted June 9, 2010 aye that is true for definate. that aspect is sound. what perhaps is not sound is the view of the direction of history and the dialectic process and ultimately where it leads. To me, focussing on that aspect of marxes work creates an almost relgious response that Gods Kingdom on earth will develop out of the morass of capitalism... The dialectic materialism and the analysis of history are sound enough. It is when you don't take the human being into account that the equation goes wrong, because then the dialectics turn dogmatic, the analysis turns rigid and the result is a system for the sake of the system. To me, dialectic materialism is a tool to expose structural inequalities in systems without resorting to explaining it with idealist myths, such as "the will of god", racism and individualism.

Administrators Col Posted June 10, 2010 Administrators Report Share Posted June 10, 2010 This forum was set up for Partick Thistle fans, but we also want to allow fans from other clubs to sign up and use it, if they want. (this includes old firm fans) Obviously we would expect that any fan from another team using the forum shows a bit of respect and remembers that this is a Partick Thistle forum. But we also expect Thistle fans to show them the same level of respect - whatever team they support. If a fan from another club tries to use the forum to wind people up - report it and we will deal with it. DO NOT resort to personal abuse or you will be removed. We received a lot of feedback from the survey we done saying that this was one thing missing - fans from other teams. So we want to encourage it. We do not want to have members abusing them when they do use it. Also , don't try and "outwit" the swear filter, as it is there for a reason. You have also agreed to "no swearing" upon registration. For the post in question - There is no proof that "thegreatestever" is infact a rangers fan, so there was no need for that kind of response and we will deal with this issue. Please remember that we don't mind arguments or debates etc. but NO PERSONAL ABUSE. There is no need for it and no place for it on this forum.

It might be good if this rule was applied when it comes to the vitriolic, personal abuse some posters mete out towards players and ex-players of the Jags.

You gotta love the aphorisms of Churchill; I certainly do. It was only when he pontificated on politics, - not his forte, imo - that he kinda laid bare his own lack of political profundity.
