Wilde did, not long after the law changed and for reasons beyond just homosexuality, so it's hardly an apt example. Plenty didn't.

It's your buddies trying to spin this away from the point being made in the reply, which despite the claims wasn't focused on homosexuality.

Where the victorians liberal in their attitude to drugs?

He was jailed for 'gross indecency' with a man. I.e. Homosexuality. There's no way to spin that!...
 
1967.

49 years ago, which made your post factually accurate even when Dull decided to focus on homosexuality (and drugs) in the Victorian era.

****ing hell, that's a desperate wriggle even by your low, limited standards. :emoticon-0102-bigsm

You'll have tedious tobes whining on about them googling next.

And.....full cycle.

Congratulations on being rinsed again. I'm sure you'll get some Saxton love in the early hours <cheers>
 
It was the first pic that came up on google images when he searched "Victorian transvestite".

Dull doesn't look into the detail hence 5 months of floundering on here <laugh>
It's definitely on the first page of image results.
He wouldn't want to use the first one, though. It's two cross-dressers that got taken to court.
The police ****ed the case up or they'd have been jailed for life for being gay.

There's plenty to choose from that era aren't there. I blame the drugs and the liberal values. :emoticon-0105-wink:
 
'I never spoke with other ethnic communities until I was 17 or 18'


After a major government review into segregation in the UK, one British-Bangladeshi man has told Newsbeat that he never spoke to anyone in other communities until he was about 18.

The report accused public bodies of ignoring segregated communities like east London's Tower Hamlets which gives "ammunition to extremists".

Jahed Ahmed admits, until his late teens, he lived a secluded life away from other ethnic groups.

"We came into Whitechapel and that was it," he told Newsbeat. "We didn't go out much. That's it, we just didn't leave.

"In the past we didn't get involved with black people or white people."

"People are naturally attracted to people who are more like themselves,"

Whatever, your post is more rant than actual sense as far as I am concerned, with my responses largely ignored.
I said I agreed with Carneys comments, you responded by saying employment was never higher. You said Carney comment was sensationalised, I said his comments weren't, stop for a second and you might realise we agreed that it was the press that sensationalised his comments. I thought this one was done but as you continued I felt the need to highlight that there was history to his words.
My point was and still is that your point that more leisure for working class will not be caused by this ( again stop for a minute and you will see we agreed ).

My next step was to say I beleived a change to society is coming and that it will be via autonomous vehicles. Every argument against I addressed in as balanced a way as I could, considering you provided nothing to support them ( and still haven't )
A few points.
I didn't claim you said the technology was fully mature.
My background is in software development and that is where the sea change has occurred. It is why I say the method of instructing today's autonomous cars is based on an AI model did not exist before 2005.
I have never denied autonomous vehicle research existed prior to this date but I do maintain its method of achieving it is obsolete (ie trying to write software for every eventuality instead of setting parameters for the software to resolve the best solution itself).
My view of what autonomous vehicles will look like hasn't changed at any point and I pointed out that I expected two distinct paths towards it based on the existing projects in autonomous only and mixed environments that are currently taking place.
Taxis and shared car services are absolutely at the forefront of this technology and certainly not the hardest parts, particularly as they are in city environment where speeds are lower and the route is generally shorter and defined before the journey commences.
Goods transport is not necessarily door to door and much of the current research is between distribution centres.
I dismiss your infrastructure arguments because the learning model now used has been proved capable of handling it, much to your annoyance, it is not the layout of roads that is the problem, it is the actions of other vehicles on the road.

If no manufacturer is looking to release an autonomous vehicle until 2021 then why would anyone bet they will be commonplace sooner?

Your first sentence pretty much sums up your argument today. You obviously don't like being challenged, so the easy thing to do is attack another poster as ranting.
You never adequately answered anything. You changed stance on "how autonomous is autonomous", posted a few links, ignored the obvious flaws in your own arguments and are now trying to save face.
I tell you what, try ringing for that driverless UBER taxi, you have spent all day banging on about and see how long it takes to turn up. Of course it won't though will it?
