Isn't it a pity that you appear not to see beyond the end of your nose, which leaves you little to compute when forming your opinion? Manic myopia is no credential to promulgate your views.I take it you are a socialist!!! I'm not Smile
This is your next difficulty Dougie. You seem to only function by putting things into pigeon holes. It's seldom that simple.
Socialism has at least two major failings.
First it requires a belief in Humans to behave responsibly and pre-supposes that to be a socialist you have to like humankind without exception, seeing only the best in people. Being a glass half empty kind of guy, with nary 60 years life experience to draw on, I manifestly fail in this regard.
Socialism's second major failing is that it believes that the new order can be evolved from the existing system. This is patently absurd, because the control mechanisms in place will not allow it.
The current order is so sophisticated that it has successfully emasculated free thinking in the bewildered herd it has created. And that's you and your ilk. You wouldn't recognise a good idea if it hit you in the face, because you are too busy protecting those who control you, in turn because you feel comfort in the lowly status they bestow on you. This mentaility is what brought Adolf to power. And we know where that led.
In our case, election to the council wouldn't change the council. The control mechanism would nullify us, that is Jim Inch's job. We have two taxi drivers as councillors. They are ineffective to chnge taxi matters. The political system, claimg democracy, simply doesn't work. Or rather it does work in serving to maintain the status quo and protect the existing control mechnisms in favour of those who exercise power, and always have.
So you're way off the mark believing me to be a socialist. Which you'd have already known if you had been paying attention.If you think the system is an enemy then you are the one with problems, too many computer game syndrome i SUSPECT Laughing
I can't remember any political connotations playing Mahjong or tetris. Computer games, like drugs, alcohol and sport etc are just opiates of the masses. By providing access to these the system ensures that the real issues are ignored and the masters can get on unhindered with the job of real control.
This situation will prevail until the bewildered herd shake off their bewilderment and recognise what really matters in the social order. Google Noam Chomsky to unfetter your mind Dougie. Who knows it may not be too late for you.
I'm an individual who knows his significance (nil) I'm happy to be in control of my surroundings and my significance is within my inner circle, i'm happy to debate the current issue's, it's my right, WHO CARES WINS Wink
This just proves the system is working. You've accepted your lowly status as little more than an obedient, subservient unit of production. You'll die when your use has been fully expended, and to prove the system works, to your dying day you'll go out of your way to ensure that your kids and circle are equally as obedient as you have been.
You consider yourself a legend in your own mind, and you will encourage your friends to be the same. Like stepford citizens your inner circle will all be clones, your names ticked off in the system's social register as compliant automatons and uneccessary for concern.
Which is just as well, so that more time can be spent monitoring freethinkers like the Skull and I.
As for who cares wins, this is just borlocks. Because you clearly don't care and you're not going to win.
That says it all really

I'm content because i've got a life

Your not content because you have nothing Jim(your words)
You are a radical, a loose canon, the minority, as far as debating the issue of de-restriction, 98% agree with me that we have controlled growth, 2% agree with you that we should flood the market, my view we have an exit strategy, your way way we have no exit strategy.
If you want to be a free thinker and believing Jock tamson's your father, you are one mother of a fecker who is fecked up and confused.
Jim everything has been thought up, freethinkers went out years ago unless your still smoking the funny stuff

Hey Hippy Jim
We live in a democracy where as individuals we are insignificant, who gives a feck if we are anyway, but we are not being denied our right to participate within the debate, if your view is constructive your view can influence the outcome of the debate, so far your view has not done that so your insignificant to the outcome of the debate, you have repeated the same old crap year in year out, it's boring Jim
Being within the 2% makes you out to the 98% a bit of an oddball, yes Jim we see you as an Intellegent oddball, a geek, a computer nerd, a pest, you are out of control, no one can stop you, good luck when one day you will wake up, not for me that kind of royal ed wake up call, I'M HAPPY BEING A COMFORMIST, now get that right into your SKULL.
98 % rule the other 2% are dreamers

The 2% are normally found in the royal edinburgh and written off by us comformist's
