Rob Taylor Posted October 8, 2019 Share Posted October 8, 2019 I see an old bloke having a crisis of mortality. Trying to leave his mark so hes not forgotten. I just bought a fast car and had an affair, far less energetic. Expensive though. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gettafa Posted October 8, 2019 Share Posted October 8, 2019 (edited) I am seriously considering the elevator option but there aren't any double ones on the Island. I might just opt for the picking up bits of random litter all day. It's pretty safe and at least doing something for the community. But back on topic - climbing mountains and lugging random stones about into what I envisage might be a pattern or something ...eek!!

My reply was to a poster who is sometimes jewish. So, not even remotely as Manx as me then. Nor did anybody vote for you to represent all Manx people. Nobody speaks for us. We can speak for ourselves. Don't push any jingoistic nationalistic nonsense on me or on my behalf. I reject it all -- I reject the stupid three legs being everywhere, the stupid tartan (designed by an English person), the stupid bunting of flags, the stupid national anthem, the stupid efficacious labelling of a Manchester accent as "Manx", the stupid government, the stupid TT, the stupid claim that we have the world's oldest continuous parliament (BS!), the stupid Electric Railway, the stupid Horse Trams, the stupid obsession with Snaefell, the stupid wheel in Laxey, the stupid Promenade in Douglas, the stupid "rock", all the stupid "Manx" merchandise in the Welcome Centre and at the Museum, most of it made in China. This island is literally drowning in stupid jingoism. I could understand it if you lived somewhere a thousand miles away from here, but to have it in your face 365 days per year is just stupid. We live in such a big and diverse world; people who are overly attached to all these outward displays of jingoism must inwardly have such small minds.

Rushen Spy Posted October 8, 2019 Share Posted October 8, 2019 Calling me a "Jew boy". I am not personally offended because I'm not a snowflake, but that is generally regarded as a pejorative turn of phrase. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Why ? you are a boy and often claimed to be a Jew so you take offence for people you don’t know and ar3 offended on their behalf ?
