Maybe I'm just being a soft millennial.

My axe to grind is, if people want to be different that is fine.
I have no issue with that at all.

My problem is those that believe they can and will FORCE others into believing their views or ethics to be the right thing.
That will never happen, and especially not from a minority.

When will people grasp every individual has their own mind, we don't need educating into what is right and wrong. TheThunder RollsπŸ‡¬πŸ‡§πŸ‡ΊπŸ‡Έ

It isn't about WANTING to be different, its about accepting that people ARE different and affording them the same rights as "normal! people. https://instagram.com/bentheoandrews

So as I originally said you are saying people should be forced to agree with it. (But carefully saying "accept it".)
We are a predominantly Christian country. (Along with some other faiths as well).
The very faith that is Christianity does not advocate it.

IMHO, it is only those to whom it concerns that argue over it. Whistle

Not really interested in debating any further, I have said my views. TheThunder RollsπŸ‡¬πŸ‡§πŸ‡ΊπŸ‡Έ

It was inevitable that they wouldn't stop those channels, there's no way discovery would have given up hundreds of thousands of pounds for programmes they would be making anyway. Ray

Discovery really is rubbish to what it was 15 years ago when it showed really good documentaries.

Don't get me wrong, I still watch it a lot but they used to make really good documentaries rather than reality fly on the wall will they or won't they productions.

Why is it every job portrayed has to be bordering on fatal and the participants of the shows almost ready to go bankrupt at any minute because of poor pay / returns / breakdowns.

TBH Discovery, I could do with a little less anxiety.

Don't get me started on MTV. Yes, I remember when it was a music channel and VJ's like Ray Cokes, Pip Dann, Paul King and Cristianne Backer entertained (Ray Cokes most wanted was great). It is just car crash telly these days.

Rant over. I'll be sitting in the Defender if you need me. Don't trip over my soapbox.

My Hermes couriers!

What a total shower of Censored

Twice I have ordered items from eBay in the last forghnight and the sellers insist they use them because they are cheap!
One order came at 9pm last Saturday night to the neighbours house, it was so badly damaged they refused on my behalf to accept it.

Monday I brought some lights for our house, I had tracked this parcel and according to that, it's been bouncing up and down in the back of their van for 3 days.
Tried to contact them, what a joke! No email replies, tried ringing, put on hold and gave up.

Well the lights have just arrived, the box looks like it's been run over, and I've got bits of light hanging out the bottom of the box.
Sadly I wasn't here at delivery time, so they were just left.

My Hermes...... What a bunch of Censored 80" 80" 86" 88" 90"

Wanted, Forward Control Anything considered.

WTF does the Labour party allow Emily f***ing Thornbury on the television at all, let alone on a Sunday morning.
They must loose 100k votes every time that arrogant cow hits the screens.
..and just wtf does the BBC offer me Andrew Marr Show on a Sunday morning anyways when there is plenty of weekend sport to review.
