FFS Robroy have you recently found yourself with much more time on your hands? Because i hate to say it but you’re rivaling Carryfast now for long winded thread destruction. Do try calming down
I think that his account has been hacked! I’ve had a few nights out with Robroy and not once has the conversation steered the way of the place of religion in a post modern society. It’s much more him coming out with profound statements such as “cor, look at the fun bags on that!” Or more commonly “how much? Last time I bought a round in here it cost me eight shillings!”
plus, the toon lost again… maybe it’s time to start praying rob…
Pray? Nah I’m an aetheist…Thank God.
Get this thread back on topic ffs, I’m becoming as unpopular as Carryfast because of this.
It boils down to minorities rights, and how they trample all over the rights of any majority!
LBGT, remainers, (any other minority you could think of but I could get banned from here)
The bus driver has rights to here, but people dont give a ■■■■! That’s why the world is so ■■■■■■ up and angry, the majority of what people want matters little, over the rights of a minority of people that can’t decide whether to take a wee standing up or sitting down
It’s the same with brexit! ■■■■ what people voted for, what about minority rights
Yes, that’s right, it’s all about not offending people all the time, but this subject is important to me because maybe one day, I’ll be put in a similar position as the bus driver, and as a Christian, I can’t go against what the Bible says, the misuse of religion has caused wars, for sure, there’s nothing in my beliefs that means I have to go to war with anyone, I m supposed to turn the other cheek. Treat thy neighbour as thyself. Its all good things.
You know what happened to people in the 20th century that were given labels because they were seen as vulnerable or minority members of the populace in some European countries…
The fascist left is rising again, we need to be aware of those that try and do good on our behalf.

Nope, they were national socialists, and like the modern versions of liberals and socialists, on the road to gaining power they disallowed free speech and took away the means of the people from defending themselves, their firearms.
The left have always been a seriously dangerous bunch, old Joe Stalin a prime example of what happens when totalitarian socialists have a free reign.
Hitler may or may not have been a Socialist but the ■■■■ party undoubtedly were.
“We are Socialists, enemies, mortal enemies of the present capitalist economic system with its exploitation of the economically weak, with its injustice in wages, with its immoral evaluation of individuals according to wealth and money instead of responsibility and achievement, and we are determined under all circumstances to abolish this system!” (Gregor Strasser, prominent ■■■■ official, 1926).
Wow, just wow. Comparing the LGBTQ struggle for equality with a fascist regime is a leap I never thought I’d see. Coming from a bunch of blokes who I doubt have ever suffered the level of discrimination I, and others, have.
The driver in question was asked to drive a bus, they refused because they didn’t like a slogan/image/message. What’s next, a dog lover refusing to take a vehicle out because it has a cats protection advert on?

Seems quite natural and it is in context.
Highlighting what has happened in the past, is a good way of understanding the future…Something our politicians should be more aware of!
As regards the bus driver, it takes only one individual to make change or become a start or part thereof, the more we collectively mock of villify these people who make a stand and we just “react” to it in the percieved “norm” the more complicit we become in the destruction of others privelidges and to some regard, rights…Not a road, as history informs, that we should carry on down regardless…Bit like using a sat nav.

C.mon mate, you’ve already had expressions of sympathy and empathy on here (including from me) …don’t make a meal of it ffs.
You know fine well the context that Naziism being used was all about, so don’t ‘‘choose to be offended’’, …especially when that is what this thread is basically about.
maybe it’s time to start praying rob…
