How long will it last and who will be the first to start arguing or putting someone down...Not long is my guess Remember we are all JACKS and we all have Opinions and nobodies opinion is right or wrong....Lets start showing some respect to each other for a change as we all want the same thing in the end for the swans to do well...
What a wonderful idea Dai. May I be the first to make a positive contribution to your excellent thread? I have been led to believe (by you) that you are a big strapping lad, possess a big penis, and are a World Class authority on; - Football (specifically Swansea City FC) - Politics (The EU being a particular forte) - Current Affairs - History - The rise of political Islam - Rock Music - Morality - Ethics on a public forum - Boxing - Rugby Union - The property market - Cardiff City FC - High Finance etc. etc. etc. ...and it just occurred to me how I have forgotten to mention (what with all the fun and frivolity down the years) how much I admire and respect you. You are without doubt my favourite poster and my life would be immeasurably poorer without your generosity in allowing me (and many others) to read your thoughts on a daily basis. Dai, I salute you and your indefatigability. Edit: Darn, I did so wish to be first...
ummmmm.......I don't wish to question you oh wise one but I think you'll find I was the 4th person to respond .....oh! I see! You mean I was the first person to respond who gave you the respect you deserve. A pleasure.
Oh the irony. I agree with stereo, there seems to be some confusion on opinions and facts. Most of what is said here is opinion, nothing more and that's the way it should be - oh apart from the fact there is no god. JUST KIDDING PHILL!!! But I have to say that people here seem to throw in the odd insult (sometimes back handed) and then bleat when they're insulted back. No need for it imo. I can say "I think your opinion is wrong because....." but finishing the line with "...you're a twat" maybe funny but ultimately proves you haven't got much of an argument if that's what you're resorting to. As for you Dai you seem a bit 'out there' with your opinions to me and I'm cool with that as it provides entertainment for us but I did laugh at this thread because you seem to talk down to the rest of us who you think "talk out our arses" (a direct quote from you recently), referring to posters as 'son' in a condescending way and so on, and you are clearly of the view your opinion carries more weight because you've been watching the Swans for a long time. Sorry but it doesn't. I'm not looking for a fight here but try following the advice you preach and show some respect. Maybe you'll get some back, who knows?
People who post here generally post opinions, except for me. I post facts. This is a fact, therefore I'm not putting anybody down by stating this. One fried of mine once was confronted with defending himself against being a racist (which he's not) replied: I'm not a racist, I hate everybody! Back to the OP: this place would be dead boring if we all agreed, or could reach a compromise on most subjects. Football is all about emotions: arguments are unavoidable. That's a fact too. Point proven!
A fried friend ? sounds painful .Now is that a Fact or an opinion ,having never been under the grill I couldn't say .
So what is the Dai worldview? The bloody Muslim Europeans are coming over here, taking our Swansea City, bleeding the public purse dry and playing young people rock music? It might sound odd, but when you think he's wrong, and then you think about it, you'll realise he was right, duh?!? To be honest, I think we do sometimes get a bit mean over petty things...but then its not like certain posters (Dai) don't sometimes rile people up enough to cause it. I can't remember the time I was genuinely angry on someone here; I think it was when that 9/11 conspiracy bollocks floated up. I've always had a short fuse with down-the-pub "WELL I THINK THIS ABOUT X ISSUE I KNOW **** ALL ABOUT" types.
The main issue is that there are too many sensitive and emotional types on here. Don't take things so seriously.
