I am sorry to hear that. It does not excuse you effectively stating another poster has a mental illness. If he does that is his own concern and not a matter of which to make light. Do you take yourself seriously? I don't. Nick dishes it out and he gets it back. Are you his dad?

I have made similar mistakes in the past and apologised to other HOL posters. I would be proud to be Nick's Dad but as far as I can remember - bearing in mind life was different back then - I am not.

Your attitude is entirely driven by political allegiance, so secure that condecending attitude and mind your own business.

This is an outrageous post. I assume you don't know whether or not Nick as affected by a mental health issue. I strongly recommend you take the comment back. Nick is no doubt affected by the evil capitalist country that he chooses to live in. I'm surprised he doesn't move to Cuba to get some peace of mind.

I dont think that you can just point the finger at others and blame the system... we are the ones consuming things and competing with one another. If people choose a different way then the capitalist system falls down. It can only exist because of people's choices. Yes the people in power have made it such that it is difficult not to buy into the system and work the 9 - 5 to keep the roof over your head but they cant force anyone to make choices they dont want to. It wont take one person but until enough people decide that capitalism and consumerism are not what they want then we'll continue to live under this system whether it is beneficial for our health or not. Maybe it's people that are basically sick, greedy and selfish and our own collective sickness is reflected in the capitalist world that we live in. Let's remember though that most people aren't particularly political. They grow up in and want to get on in the system they are raised in. It is certainly true that if you only have one store and it sells only two types of cookies that people are going to get use to and in some cases enjoy those cookies....independent of the quality. But lets remember, while it's valid to criticise elements of capitalism as with all systems......that doesn't mean that it isn't the best system we know so far....it has stellar elements...for example the use of competition leading to reward works generally.....probably because it maps to human nature. It's not like other systems haven't been tried.

Come on let's not all start a victim war. We are all fcuking mentally ill as we support a team that kicks us in the b0llocks every other week. Mental illness is a real problem within society...all societies and each individual needs to work on solutions....but if you are going to inhabit the online world then it's the philosophy of the kitchen....if you can't take the heat and all that.....no kid gloves for anybody. I seriously advise the easily upset or offended...just don't get involved in this stuff....it isn't going to help.

You don't know my political allegiance. It is not political to accuse you of constant negativity and of aiming that in a very personal way at other posters. I do not like bullying and it is particularly obnoxious when it is based upon someone's health. If there is a mental health issue all the more so as it can affect that issue. You can have no idea the effect of your posts. It is quite possible you are doing damage. Please show more thought.

Nick's been called far worse and called others far worse. He's no snowflake. I was called a 'c***' and w***er the other week.....it pissed me off and I complained, but I'm over it. Did I mention I was called a 'c***' and w***er the other week.

Your only intention is to paint posters who you don't agree with in a bad light. It is transparent, feeble behaviour which you should be totally embarrassed by. I have a feeling that you are not self aware enough to be embarrassed.

You didn't read the pm then. i didn't call you a c***, you misunderstood what I badly phrased. i wondered why you didn't accept my apology. Cund. Edited by nickgusset (23 Aug 2017 12.54pm)
