I don't have 'complete disregard' far from it, but you need to be able to back up an emotional outburst that gains attention, with the facts behind what caused the outburst, as well as a credible solution.

If you fail to do that, it's just the actions of a petulant child.

Next time football supporters storm the pitch or throw things their solicitors can claim in their defence it was the emotional part of their brain coming to the fore in the left/right bias in their brain.Should get them off.
 
Either or. Once you are caught by the cult( correct spelling on this occasion) of Liverpool FC you are lost from reasoning forever.

It reall pisses me off in the pub hearing people born and bred in East Yorkshire talking about Liverpool, or Man Utd and Leeds for that matter, as us and we and referring to the sad inadequates who support the others as you and them.

But I’ve supported them all my life through thick and thin. Thin????

Presumably the poster defending him will approve of Markle and Harry or Prince Charles lecturing us plebs on the need to reduce our carbon footprint, Markle always says she wants to save the planet for her children, whilst living in enormous mansions and flying everywhere in private jets and helicopters having been ferried to and from them in gas guzzling limousines. Same with Bono who lectures us before departing on tours to add to his many millions whilst causing more of a carbon footprint flying his entourage and stage equipment than most of us cause in decades.
Seems some are quite happy supporting people whose mantra is do as I say not as I do.
The point is that the term 'personal carbon footprint' was invented in 2004 by an advertising company who were working for BP.
 
So, you don’t mind them and the bloke with the uninsulated house preaching to others about what they should do, and what they should not do,whilst not adhering to those things themselves?
I'm suggesting that in the scheme of things your question is utterly pathetic.

I am suggesting that a lot of your statements on this topic are pathetic. Obviously Meghan and Harry don’t care about your kids the way you think we all should. You need to tell them.
 
We can all choose to do our own bit or we can choose not to. We can believe as individuals we’re destroying the planet or we can believe we’re being gaslighted by world governments about the severity of climate change (ala Covid severity).
All of the above is pretty moot when you consider that just 100 companies were responsible for 71 percent of the worlds greenhouse gasses between 1988-2017.

So carry on walking everywhere, recycling and paying to carbon offset any flights you take.
Alternately set a pile of tyres on fire in your back garden and only use single use plastics for everything.

Reality is neither approach will make a blind bit of difference.
 
Apologies all. I only react to **** on this forum when I'm feeling very stressed, so I end up being reactionary and OTT. Quite embarrassing in retrospect. Mental health struggles can really blindside me at times. I'll take my leave again before I bore/irritate anyone else, and try to come back for City matters only. UTT.

Don't be embarrassed, these are not always the best forms of communication or the best places to have these sorts of conversations.

As for your health issues, fair play for mentioning it, and feel free to use the stickied thread at the top of the board to discuss that with others. It does seem to help. <ok>

Stay strong and believe in what you believe in.

Everyone else can go and **** themselves.


Especially on the Internet.


The thing about people who say that they struggle is that generally I'm in awe of their strength.


UTT.

No need for apologies… we all have our highs & lows…
Check out the mental health thread pinned at the top of topics x

On a one to ten of embarrassing things posted on this board, you've barely registered a one, I wouldn't sweat it. <ok>

Thanks Ernie, I'm OK. Awareness is key for me. There was a time when I lived in my head, so I consider myself one of the lucky ones.
