Pfft. So much for wishful thinking. Instead the greedy ****ers made sure to close off the one positive step made for Australian consumers.

Oh that's not good then.

Is there anything more pathetic than people who, because they don't like/agree with your opinion, they hold a grudge over it or can't get on with you because of it? (inb4 yes)

Some pathetic fuckers in this world.

I think their opinion would have to be one which really, badly offended me for that to happen. That doesn;t exactly happen often.

I find it much more pathetic and much more infuriating for someone to shove their opinion in my face, especially if they are one of these people who will be very, very defensive of their own opinion while talking to anyone who disagrees with them as if they are "wrong".

And then theres the people who are always cool and collected when someone takes offence to them, questioning why they would get offended, and as soon as the shoe is on the other foot they hit the roof and cry like a baby.

God, opinions suck sometimes.

Yeah that is true, and those are annoying as feck, I can't think of an opinion someone could have which I'd take offense to though? What would badly offend you?

Just does my tits in when people aren't able to get on with others because of their opinions, you can tell they're being a cunt because you've said something that offended them, proper soft arses. I'll never understand it, it's very childish.

Depends on the opinion, I'd rather not consort with people whose opinions I find morally conflicting, so I don't. Hardly childish, I don't think it'd be proper for me to lie and pretend like I didn't think that person was a cunt. It's dishonest, not to mention soul crushing. Why should I pollute myself just to "get along"?

I mean something that I can't only not get on board with but would be enough of an issue to stop me from really wanting to get to know that person. For example I was stood outside of a bar recently having a smoke and overheard some dirty little charver telling his mates that "they should all be deported" which I felt pretty certain I knew what he was referring to, but I hadn't heard the beginning of the conversation. Then he grabbed his England footy top, by the badge I might, and told his mates that England should be English and white. I scoffed at this, obviously louder than I had realised, and nearly got my head kicked in for it.

Personally I would be happy to say that in that instance I would never, ever want to get to know that person, even without knowing a single other thing about him. That one, sole opinion is enough for me.

^ Exactly!

I mean, if someone told me "Oh I hate the Clash" I wouldn't hold it against them because it says absolutely fuck all about their character. So they don't like a band I don't like, so what? No one is generally affected by that opinion, least of all me.

Yeah but I wouldn't think anyone was a cunt for having an opinion depending on how they put it across. Even if it was racist/sexist or whatever. Would think what they're saying is stupid or wrong though, but I would still be cool with them.

That's you. I'm not going to pretend to I don't think they're a cunt just because it jibes with your opinion of what's childish and what isn't.
