The Campaign for Urban Politics Threads Good Manners!

Nah - the politics forums here are very educational; you just have to filter out the bollocks, which gets easier once you get to know the names. ;)

Frustrating when they never make it back on track but still ...

We all know which poster you're aiming this at - don't we?

Which, when translated means "I hate it when people disagree with me". :D

start as you mean to go on nino. Personally i think this a great idea and if people adhered to it might lead somewhere my only concern is that the use of statistics and links would only serve to keep debates rather pedestrian in that it is often what is not said or spoken about which is as important as that which is . Otherwise we could just be following the political agenda as set by the media and irrelevant politcal parties.But a good start none the less

treat other posters and these boards with respect
The party?
:p
 
durruti02 said:
well many (most?) of us ARE involved in struggle/campaigns and many of those who are not, were .. so simply yes definately there is value
What I mean is, debate between people within a particular struggle, rather than between people who are involved in different struggles. For instance, Royal Mail Chat is, IMO, far more interesting and infinitely more useful than these boards for political purposes. I'd love to see more sites like that set up, which seem far more useful than general political discussion boards, where threads tend to vanish up their collective arses.

ok fair enough i accept those play a more important specific role .. but i hold to this providing an important forum in a wider sense and the potential to be eevn more important IF we did not so often end up up our collective arses!:D

I see that you're still following me around with your bad spelling and poor grammar...not to mention your stinking hypocrisy.

it enables debate across political lines and across differrent regions

we have people on here from gp swp iwca sp af cwf etc etc and lots of non aligned .. many of them/us would not otherwise discuss

urban is a million times better than UKLN or libcom because of this

and geographically it is again very usefull to hear experiances from other areas :)

Don't you usually meet up with all these sorts of people in the pub after any major demonstration, talking the same bollox on here, continuing in the same circular arguments for years and years and years and years........................................:mad: :rolleyes:
If your unlucky that is!!!!!!!!!!!!:eek: :D

Not one of these for the NHS Campaigns ?:eek: :rolleyes:
 
:rolleyes:

really primamrly the reason people argue on here is uttery boredom, sheer desperation. No one takes or argues from standpoitns there is no coda of debate or agree deabting rules it's not a consensious and this means it's a free for all... If you want civil debate cease to enguage with those you deem uncivilised however as these disaffected or troublesome people might actually be the very people you are attempting to engauge therein lies the rub...

people feel passionate about their particular soap box issues and the itnernet isn't the place for sensible discussion of them. Action always has to be real and practical and will never be further by in essence insituationalising it and turning it in to some sort of shooting match for those privierldged with internet access.... basically if you have enough spare cash to have internet access as in disposable income you are part of the global problem and aren't no matter what lable you want to place on it impoverished enough to actually have anything relevant to say on the matter other than being from a patronising stance of those above telling those below what to do... hierachy in action forced by the ecomomies of scale and enforced by the dogmas of capitalism.

equally if you are educated enough to have an understanding of the oldschool left right debate and the factions fractures and schisms with in it again you are to far removed to bhave anything of relevance to say....

Nothing repeat nothing will ever be solved by the internet it might in more localised acitons allow for small scale communtication or reportage of actions or situations which need alerting or raising in essence though it's merely another advertising medium with little wholesome content on it. If you like a fancy typewritter with the abiltiy to see moving images and sound as well as written text. Just as litter was changed by the socialities of the vicotrian times and the inception of the chattering classes by the letter writing age this is merely replication by repettition for the modern blogging age...

it changes nothing.

You want to see change in the world then effect that change in the world there's nothing like people with cast stone mantras bleating on in some self congratulatory circle jerk on the internet to turn normal people off your idea quicker...

smile like you mean it

You're quite obviously reading a post in your imagination. So here's something for you: you're not bright, you're not intelligent and you have an inflated sense of your own discursive talents. You're a waste of space and flesh and you're breathing air that someone more deserving could be breathing.

that lasted a long time then ... see it's nto possible for those too stupid and petty to actually get over their own egos and move forward... this isn't a place for resistance or revolution it's a place for people to attempt to establish hierarchis and pecking orders in order to win pissing competitions, usually it's becuase of their general inabilty to influenc etheir world around them and the impotence they feel about that lack of power...
 
durruti02 said:
but i did NOT point fingers and I accepted joint guilt .. ok?

and no i do NOT hate it when people disagree ... many people disagree .. there is much to disagree about ... it is HOW we disagree ... i hate it when people just rubbish each other :)
durruti.
firstly well done for this thread, and I genuinely wish you good luck.
I have for years detested how 'the left' seems incapable of conducting discourse in any mode other than shrill, spite-laced rant.
I think the problem you'll get is; people on the left in particular are passionate about their political beliefs (what on earth is the point in having them if you're not?) and that can/does boil over into passionate hatred, excessively personalised, of all those who don't see things your way. They become The Enemy.
And as a result, before long - especially when mixed with the ongoing ego-wars that are the lot of any BB - you have one endless slanging match that throws neither heat or light on matters

Well, he's always stalking and sniping me. I don't think I've ever seen him actually post anything that isn't full of this sort of nonsense. People bitch about me "derailing" threads" and "insulting posters" but those people do the same thing but seem to lack the maturity to see this in themselves. Brasicattack is a classic example of a poster whose sole raison d'etre is to big up his mates and attack those who don't agree with them.

Ah, the auld "you're paranoid" routine. :rolleyes: How about having a look at his recent posts? Ah, forget it, you're just as bad as the rest. Are you saying that some posters don't stalk other posters? You're a fucking joke.

Next time someone is giving you a hard time, I'll remind you of this moment.

I see your spelling hasn't improved much. :p

You're on ignore.

the problem is in essence that left wing politics is the art of single issues which demand are taken into consideration as opposed to right wing poltics which is cohesive. As nearly all left wing poltics are reactions to implamentations of the whole which is right wing politics ie they are single or several refinements comprimises of exisitng systems it will always be fragmented as it isn't a formed theroy but one born out of oppostition to the status quo... in short all left wing poltics are in essence caring conformist right wing polices...

until there are humanist prinipals applied to all aspects of our actions and we abandon the system set up of adversarial poltics we will always be at loggerheads with one another and this will ultimatly lead to lines being drawn and people taking sides beucase that is the intent and design and will of they system which it'self is self perpetuating....

you really need to get off the net and go and do something practical rather than continueing int his fashion you are making a chump of yourself... really....

e2a and no my dyslexica hasn't gotten better mysteriously ... can you think why that might be ?? incredbily rude not mention demonstrating your utter inabilty to face things objectively from people you have previously agree with... it is more than beginign to appear that in fact you use the following you areound schitch towards anyone you disagree with as a manner of smeering them or attackign them in some fashion...

This is quite a rant and all of it is just knee-jerk emotionalism with an extra large helping of ignorance.

Do fuck off an take your half-baked notions with you.

You're a hypocrite, Garf. I'm not "sulking" as you put it. You've also copied all the other smears from other posters. You're hardly original.

You're on ignore, cunt.
