EU: Should the UK Leave or Stay?

[Edwardo Piet]

Yanks seem to be good at this whole hypocrisy thing.

Seriously?

Yanks seem to be good at this whole hypocrisy thing.

Seriously?

Yes, because it's true.

[Edwardo Piet]

Replace "yanks" with "people" and I'd agree.

Sometimes Napo can be such a fucking tool.

I agree with Napo. He's by far one of the most sensible and intelligent people on this forum. Americans are very hypocritical, especially when it comes to the EU issue.

[Edwardo Piet]

He greatly overestimates himself.

And again, replace "Americans" with "people" and then you have a statement that is more reasonable and true.

[Napoléon]

This:

I apologize to both Napo and Thumpy for being rather curt and tactless in my delivery. Turtle was in a bad mood and being a grumpy pants. I can do better.

Before this:

Sometimes Napo can be such a fucking tool.

He greatly overestimates himself.

Yes, yes, I'm the disingenuous, arrogant, misinterpreter of a shitstain in this thread.

You accuse me of 'over-estimating' myself? On what basis? Because I disagree with you? Have I ever proclaimed to be some super intelligent master of debating here? Have I ever?

This forum is full of pseudo-intellectuals who think they're the font of fucking reason. Thanks for reminding me why I stopped coming to this place.

I know I come across as emotional at times, and I can see how that comes over as rudeness. Truth be told I'm not nearly as invested in this issue as my posting probably comes across. It's just the way I write. But I only ever get rude when someone is rude to me first. I'm not usually a dick right off the bat purely for the sake of being one. But now I'm yet again being lectured, criticised and directly having my intelligence insulted simply for posting my opinion on a topic and not rolling over when challenged on it?

So in the most impolite way I can write it: kindly go fuck yourself you big piece of hypocritical shite.

Ta ta

You accuse me of 'over-estimating' myself? On what basis?

Wasn't an accusation it was an opinion. Ya know, those things you like so much.

Because I disagree with you?

Nah, you're the guy who kind of rants at people who disagree with you.

Have I ever proclaimed to be some super intelligent master of debating here? Have I ever?

Nah, in my opinion you haven't proclaimed that. Again: In my opinion. As you felt the need to tell me

This forum is full of pseudo-intellectuals who think they're the font of fucking reason. Thanks for reminding me why I stopped coming to this place.

And you wonder why I think you're over-estimating yourself when you speak of these "pseudo-intellectuals"...

I know I come across as emotional at times,

NO FUCKING SHIT.

So do I... that's not the problem. You're just a taddddddddddddd on the extremely fucking opinionated side.

I typed "UKIP aren't as bad as the BNP but they're still fucking awful", then you felt the need to tell me it was my opinion, well no shit Sherlock -- and then rant at me completely misrepresenting everything I say, as if you took the fact that I dislike UKIP as a personal attack on yourself.

But I only ever get rude when someone is rude to me first.

In other words you're not even human?

Bullfuckingshit everyone gets rude first sometimes. Noone's perfect.

I'm not usually a dick right off the bat purely for the sake of being one.

Not usually? This directly contradicts what you just said above how you only "ever" (your bolding) get rude when someone is rude to you first.

But now I'm yet again being lectured

I'm lecturing you?



I posted "UKIP aren't as bad as the BNP but they're still fucking awful." -- my opinion on your thread, and I was the one who got a lecture. At best. More like a rant.

criticised and directly having my intelligence insulted

I got lectured -- I am not insulting your intelligence, the fact that I think that you overestimate your intelligence doesn't mean I think you are a dumbshit.

simply for posting my opinion on a topic and not rolling over when challenged on it?

Who told you to roll over?

So in the most impolite way I can write it: kindly go fuck yourself you big piece of hypocritical shite.

Suck my turtle balls you opinionated arsehead.

Ta ta

Buh-bye

[Edwardo Piet]

P.S. What's disingenuous about apologizing for my curtness when I was in a better mood and then saying that you can be a tool sometimes when I'm in a shittier mood again? It's called being human and you just so happen to be profoundly irritating to me. That's not disingenuousness that's fucking honesty.

[emjay]

I don't know how I can say this any clearer. I was not being rude to you Napo - not initially... not until I got angry and called you a wanker... and that was perhaps an overreaction. Why would I be when I've always liked you and respected you, and you know I have? I've read the thread and you've clearly got a much better grasp of the subject that I could ever have, and made lots of good points, none of which are racist so you are just plain and simple wrong if you think I was trying to slur you as a racist for wanting to leave. Some people are racist... they hate everything that's not them... but some people are just concerned with the level of immigration in this country and they're not the same thing, I know that. Ultimately I'm not that invested either... Britain will have its way, whatever it is. I'm tempted to vote to leave just as a bloody peace offering   As it stands my vote is for the status quo and for the reasons I said, but if Britain leaves it's not gonna be the worst thing in the world for me and part of me is curious to see what would happen.

[Edwardo Piet]

Yes, yes, I'm the disingenuous, arrogant, misinterpreter of a shitstain in this thread.

Yes, yes you are. In fact that was a very accurate description. And Self-awareness is the first step to recovery, so at least you have that.
