'Sparky' is ."...harsh, vulgar, intolerant language"?

It was a personal insult. Basically because of my views it was intimating that I was a bit thick. A sweeping generalisation that if you don't hold the same views as me then you are stupid. A bit like the remainers on brexit saying all leavers are not "sparky". Most typically used by people thay have lost the argument.

Christmas 2015... Must have taken some time to dig that one out of the news archives via a google.. Wonder how long i would take with said other religion.... http://www.ibtimes.com/isis-crushes-traito...-lashes-2434245

Booger me. A few days ago!!!!

I found it on my first google search and Christmas 2015 is hardly ancient history.

I'm sure most would say something that happening in the past year is "current times".

Why are you defending it?

Because he would have to admit that he's wrong.

I can only deduce soft racists are a bit sensitive then. It was cheeky, but I cannot see harsh or vulgarity in it. Indeed, it wasn't saying you are thick because of your views, it was suggested you were being slow to understand a point. That's how I saw it anyway.

More or less. He was being deliberately obtuse and falsely outraged because he reckoned I was comparing the slaughter of innocents to the execution of alleged criminals. In fact I was comparing barbaric methods of execution. Arguably, beheading is a kinder death than the electric chair. If I had to choose, I'd choose beheading.

Whats a soft racist? I guess in your mind someone that voted brexit.

"Falsely outraged". Is that not the default now?

Im not. Are you defending killers from other none Christian religions? I hate all religion. Why believe in something that is not posssible? You would be dellusional. Oh... Most of the world is.

In part yes, but I voted Brexit too, so I'm a soft racist as well.

You should be locked up then.

Not thick but "slow to understand a point".
Sorry, could you explain the difference, I am finding my self being somewhat slow to understand.
Not being thick mind you!!


Doh!
Maybe I have just explained the difference to myself!
Sorry for being slow, maybe I'm thick!!

I'm not sure where that come from, except I don't claim to know much about anything. What I have come to realise is it isn't whether one knows much, you just need to know more than the berks around you.

Someone failing to understand a point could easily be down to the way the point is made. It doesn't follow that failing to understand is a demonstration of 'thick'ness.

Well someone could do something stupid but not be a stupid person.

[Andy Capp]

Or someone could be mislead by duff information, but that doesn't make them stupid.

And therein lies the state of politics today. The misuse of information and the deliberate twisting of literal meanings. In other words. treating the every day citizen as if they are stupid. Classics like 'social housing', 'the bedroom tax' and 'child immigrants' etc, etc, etc. I'm sure the list is very long.

You're thinking of Brexit and the NHS pledge? Actually, I think anyone that believed that would have had to be pretty stupid. Unfortunately many did.

You've lost me.
