Let's start a racist thread and see if that's better received shall we? Bigotry is bigotry, regardless who is on the receiving end.

That was the effect I was aiming for. The OP left him/her self wide open to a good belittling.

So you really think the comments of the OP are on a par with racist abuse of an often disadvantaged minority?

It just makes me laugh when people get so angry at middle-class stereotypes which although might be mildly offensive (not that I think these are), don't have any discernable negative impact on their employment / education / life prospects etc.


The strength of the reactions to this stuff always amuses me.

If racism / sexism / homophobic comments were not son unacceptable in today's society, the OP would have used them LadyD.


He started this thread purely to get a rise, which he (surprisingly given the quality of his effort) got.


Most of us are just taking the piss out of a poor attempt at trolling.

    • Thanks for that - none  of mine  have been Mordena - whilst vulnerable cat, think I will just take my chances… Will be having flu though - certainly not by choice - much prefer not to but in vulnerable group.. Avoided them until last year…. Luck of drawer if you are as sick as fog  or just sore arm … assume - god knows - that flu jab is same throughout country.       
    • Wow, that is what it costs for one prisoner. So they get full board and lodging, 24 hour  monitoring  in over populated prison, we are led to believe, minimum exercise, assume a tv in each cell provided - in USA it is together with wash hand basin and c toilet - some have showers as well.   Clearly this amount of money takes  into account overstretched and overworked prison officers, protection for them, counselling which is, in my opinion a bare minimum dealing with prisoners in all settings. Do if Sweden can look outside the box, why can’t we? Or are we just not bothered at all / read statistics some where that reoffending is normal and to be frank, with economy as it is at the moment re employment, cost of living and homelessness..not surprised they reoffend to get back inside - food provided, roof over your head - much better than street living, mixing with wrong crowd, trying to get roof over your head, find a job where 90 % won’t employ you as been inside..
    • @beansprout The Swedes seem to have a useful strategy with regard to offenders  which has reduced repeat offending.  I agree that prison time for minor offences is a complete waste of time. Even worse is that prisons are "colleges of crime" where inmates learn about how to be do crimes and worst of all, become exposed to drug taking. I wouldn't advocate having chain gangs as in the USA but some strategy for getting them into say manual work under supervision might be useful - especially if it came with a modest wag. This would be significantly cheaper than the £51,100 it costs per year for  keeping one in jail.
