I recently came across the following quote by Gramsci and thought everyone on here ought to bear it in mind.
"When debating with an opponent, try to put yourself in his shoes."
And for those posters who come under attack for having a view that no others on the thread share, let's not forget the words of John Stuart Mill.
“If all mankind minus one, were of one opinion, and only one person were of the contrary opinion, mankind would be no more justified in silencing that one person, than he, if he had the power, would be justified in silencing mankind.”

If Gramsci ever has reason to visit the strange world of TWTD he’d surely have said
“Try to put yourself in his straight jacket”
I’m reminded of watching a debate between local MP Anthony Wedgwood-Benn and an up and coming conservative MP called Michael Heseltine at the student Union many years ago. After getting a bit of a barracking the soon to become Tony Benn said….
“If you could see my point of view you’d agree with me”.
Not a lot has changed in the minds of the deranged who are always right about everything. |
"....unless you're talking to a bloody Budgie, of course" they'd add |  | | |

I’m all for this until someone thinks pineapple on pizza is nice, for which ridicule and usually a lifetime rift is definitely the appropriate response 🍍 |
If you are not tolerant of people putting pineapple on pizza, you are not tolerant at all. | | | |

Is it too late to introduce the wonderful concept of Brie with cranberry sauce ? |
I take it you are talking about a baked Brie? With cranberry sauce it’s lovely, though I’ve only mangled it a few times over the years. Don’t know how it works but it gets a tick from me. |  | | |

I just put brie sliced straight off the triangle into a sandwich with some cranberry sauce and salad. I might even throw a few raisins in as well. |  |

I’ll try that! I’m a little worried about the raisins, but lets not be afraid to be bold! | | | |
