DLBud Posted September 3, 2018 Report Share Posted September 3, 2018 I made no judgement on right wingers. I am saying that left wingers are very good at stealing the moral high ground and showing that they care about people right up to the point where they get the slightest whiff of someone having money. At that point they become worse bastards than any right winger I have ever met. Nothing like a bit of unsubstantiated generalisation to make your case. Left wing, right wing? This is a football forum FFS. For the record, I’m not jealous of Stubbs money at all but still believe he’s won a watch here and will somehow manage to deal with the emotional stress of it all. What side of the political divide does that leave me on? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gilberto Posted September 4, 2018 Report Share Posted September 4, 2018 What does LPN mean? I've googled it (sorry Oaky) and it seems to mean Licenced Practical Nurse. Have I missed something? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What side of the political divide does that leave me on? That bit in bold. I am not wrong though. I wish I was but I'm not. As for which political divide you stand on? No idea bud. If you genuinely think that money makes emotional stress easier to deal with then I have to disagree in the strongest terms. Some of the highest rates of depression are amongst those with more money. I have my own thoughts on why that should be but that's a topic for another day. I know it sounds logical to suggest that at least you don't have to worry about foodbanks when you are rich but this spectacularly misses the point about emotional problems, feelings of self worth etc. Edited September 4, 2018 by oaksoft Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Where there tends to be common ground for all is when a company/individual creates wealth, usually in partnership with people working for them, then decides to try to circumvent paying their share in tax. Now that is immoral. Edited September 4, 2018 by stlucifer Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's about having a reason to get out of bed in the morning. A purpose to life. You'd know that if you ever had a job you actually liked.
