Suggesting to a group of strangers that your opinion is valid, whilst not actually explaining that opinion, because of your education is implying some sort of superiority. Given your input so far, that was always going to get you laughed at. Loudly.
 
Your making no sense you mug. Trying to have an argument, I don't care. You want to sit down and have a debate with me about the topic for a dry 5 hours then I'd be happy too, otherwise, wedge off.
 
yeahhh...but your sources of primary evidence dont exist, and your secondary evidence is your economics tutor - who may or may not be an 'expert' on the subject, whoever will have an opinion that is skewed either way - and then tried to sell it as an 'i am an expert' argument that 'anybody up and down the country' can see that thatcher was a good egg. Now i do agree with you partially - tough love was needed at the time etc, but the way your presented it you were asking to be shot down in flames! and calling him a twat doesent help....
 
And i feel under qualified in life to really discuss this at 28 - how do you feel as a 20 yr old, rememember history is the story told by the victors!

I fear I'd have to do a degree in Bognor 'yoof'-speak before we could engage. How exactly does one 'wedge' off, for example?
 
The term wedge can refer to any one of the following things:
  • Wedge (mechanics), a simple machine used to separate two objects, or portions of objects, through the application of force.
  • Wedge (golf), a specialized type of club used in the sport of golf.
  • Wedge product, a mathematical term related to the exterior algebra (or the Grassmann algebra) of a vector.
  • Wedge sum, in mathematics a "one-point union" of a family of topological spaces.
  • Wedge issue, a divisive issue used to split the support base of an opposing political group.

for me obama has always been of presidential calibre, somewhere between being born great and almost thrusting greatness upon himself.

morbyd - i thought you said he wouldn't run! told ya so;) :p

True. I didn't think he would. I thought he'd use the hype to boost his profile and then wait until he had a few more years under his belt in the Senate.

It will be interesting to watch how this whole nomination process goes. I just wish it hadn't started so early. It's still a year until the first party primaries, for god's sake! By then, I'm sure we'll all have Hillary/Obama burnout.

As an aside, I saw an interesting comment by Washington Post media analyst Howard Kurtz yesterday: probably the most qualified Democratic candidate in terms of governing experience, Bill Richardson (served in Congress, in Clinton's cabinet, as UN ambassador and now 2-term governor of New Mexico), is getting absolutely no attention from the press.

Maybe, yes, when provoked. Don't care kids, wanna give it the big one and dismiss me coz I'm a kid feel free, hope it boosts your self esteem. My information is not based in "my economics tutor", but a specialist economics lecturer of with whom I studied Thatcher indirectly for a year to an advanced level. I may have made my point badly, but it didn't matter as my point was not even considered, just myself. Have a lovely weekend all, remember that your better than me.

Having a degree, in any subject, in itself, isn't going to impress anyone here, unless your posts demonstate an accumulation of useful knowledge and an ability to discuss your opinions in a logical and objective manner.

ive got a 2:1 in Visual Communication. hence frequent "visual gags". does that impress?

besides, getting through 3 years of Uni actually working than spending 3 yrs in the canteen playing pool* makes a degree worthwhile

:lol:

I personally consider myself a strong Libertarian. To me the RKBA (Right to Keep and Bear Arms) issue is extremely important. Personally, I have no doubt that if the second amendment was to be discarded, it is just a matter of time that the rest of the constitution goes down the tube. Yes, it is a strong statement, but I do believe what the peace loving Mahatma Gandhi said "Among the many misdeeds of the British rule in India, history will look upon the act of depriving a whole nation of arms, as the blackest."

That being said, do I like Obama? Yes. Would I vote for him? Never. I respect Hillary for her strength, but the sun would have to rise from the West for me to vote for her. That's got nothing to do with her being a woman. Rudy, absolutely no way.

Now Bill Richardson. Hell Yeah! I'd vote for him in a heartbeat. As Morbyd pointed out, he has the experience as Governor and as Secretary of Energy. He is half-Hispanic, the community that is growing the fastest in the US. He is a very personable and jovial guy, and he is a totally pro-Second Amendment. All the others, Hillary, Obama, Rudy, have received failing scores from the NRA. Richardson has received an A.

Nothing against you, but I just find it funny that you base your vote on what the NRA says:eek: . I don't think you have to worry about the right to bear arms at all, ever, at least in this country, so you might want to base your vote on some additional criteria. For instance - Hillary scares me on many levels, so I prefer Guiliani. Obama seems very 'created' or just not genuine to me (the way he talks and acts), so I prefer Guiliani. Also, Guiliani seems to have nice collection of left and right ideals that I agree with.

I would not base my vote on what the NRA says, but I do base my vote on where the candidate stands on the RKBA issue. There is a difference.

As far as not being worried about losing the RKBA, think again. It has not even been a year since the Dems took control and there is a bill (http://www.govtrack.us/congress/billtext.xpd?bill=h110-1022) out in Congress that is far more sweeping than the '94 Clinton "Crime Bill" that only ended up screwing law abiding gun owners.

Admittedly I only skim through your posts just to find what the local hoodies will be dissin' me with tomorrow, but your "point" seems to be, erm the fact you went to university, and had some "special" relationship with your tutor.

Well done, I'm really pleased for you n all, but you must be half a dozen posts down in this thread and I'm still yet to see you move onto a second point.

No rush, like. I can hear you bring out the "I'm well clever you wedge" lines all day long, but you do seem rather eager to impress upon people how really really clever you are. Away you go...
