"Get over it"? Are you a 16 year old American girl, Kirk?

I am struggling with nothing mate - my powers of comprehension are not in question, and we can only make sense of the sensible.

Your 'covering of your reservations' do not make any sense at all. You live in a Democratic Country but claim not to hold with democracy, yet - quite evidently - your scathing condemnation of that democratic system on here is not reflective of your attitude in the real world because you obviously work, pay your taxes and accept the system for what it is.

If I felt as strongly as you claim to do on here, then I would be claiming benefits and working 'on the side' so that not one penny of my money contributed to all those bad decisions by this nasty government.

As for "Get over it"? Are you a 16 year old American girl, Kirk?" - No I'm not, only a very earnest member who can be forgiven that he sometimes thinks he is responding to a ludicrous post worthy of a '16 year old American girl'

I do believe however, that this is rich coming from someone so infamous for posting juvenile tosh - like the praying piss take retort to my applauding of Ammi's excellent post yesterday - a response that was not addressed to you, directed to you, nor mentioned you, and one which in no way justified your juvenile mockery.

"Mate" someone's getting lairy...

Tut tut, kirk, you're responding to posts that you haven't read properly. I said that the system is the best we have. Go back and have a look. It's right there. I then went on to say; the best we have does not necessarily mean "good". There is no logical conflict there.

Your stance appears to be that in a democracy, once a party is elected, we should just quietly accept every decision and "get over it" if a decision is made that we don't like. Now, that would be fine if it was your genuine opinion, if it was how you lived... But it clearly isn't. You are quite comfortable disagreeing with government decisions and stating your opposition to them, you have done on many occasions in many threads. But now, suddenly, when it suits you, if someone disagrees with a government decision that you happen to agree with, the other person must "accept the elected government's decision and get over it"? No, kirk. Complete fail. That's the weak argument of someone who can't think of anything better to say.
