The Official Politics Thread (enter at your own risk)

[Come On You Irons]

There. Resident WHO political commentators and gurus can knock yourselves out in here and conduct your endless bickering. All other threads will be locked.

[BillyJenningsBoots]

Nope.

the definition means there’s similarities & parallels between the real thing and the analogy you’re attempting to use.

it doesn’t work because there are none. That is why other posters told you that your analogy doesn’t work. you can keep shouting and getting angry, but we both know that west ham weren't forced to move stadiums.

 

So what you are saying is there is absolutely no parallel no matter the insignificance at all on any level between Palestinians being forced to leave their home and West Ham fans being forced to move from Upton Park because lets face it we did not have a choice - you know what that means it wasn't our decision the Club Board decided. Even for the purposes of explaining to an idiot (thats you btw) None at all yeah!

Oh and even on a hypothetical basis (you do know what that means right, it means like a an imaginary situation, not a real thing) for the purpose of explaining to a simpleton like yourself lets "pretend" West Ham fans did protest vehemently about the move and were dead against it, that wouldn't work as an analogy because the Isreali army haven't bombed Green Street yeah! 

Thanks for clarifying Goose - I bow to your immense understanding of the English language!

I look forward to the next analogy being used (without checking with you first) on WHO by some unsuspecting fool like me (but not necessarily me it could be someone else - just to make that clear so you don't get confused) that is highlighting a serious issue but because you don't agree that the analogy is 100% exactly the same as the situation it is being used to compare to, you decide to derail their argument because you look like a fucking idiot when its explained to you!

Or maybe it might be you that uses an analogy - but that's not likely you'll only fuck it up! "Der yeah like Palestinians being forceably removed from their homeland in Gaza is like "Asians" being forced out of Uganda" - Oh no hold on their Goosey President Amin did not bomb their homeland he just gave them 90 days to get out - and I know this because I used to work with a guy from India whose family were expelled at the time. So that analogy doesn't work!

Good Luck!

Praise the Lord I think Billy is finally catching on.
Yes there absolutely no parallel between west ham moving stadiums and what is going on in Gaza.

it's hilarious that you cannot comprehend that, while at the same time calling other people stupid.

 

 

Oh dear poor Goosey - still doesn't get it - yes you really are as stupid as I thought!

So now you think Palestinians being forcefully removed is not like Asians being forced out of Uganda!? Rightio...

End of discussion as you are clearly extremely dense like a black hole - oh wait that doesn't work because a black hole has a density of 4 x 1014 g/cm3 and Goosey is only 985 kg/cm!! Damn how do I get the message across now that Goose has redefined analogies!

[WHU(Exeter)]

When you think about it, the Suez crisis was pretty much exactly like when Highfield Road became Englands first all-seater stadium.

Any other major world events with such close parallels to the developments of English football grounds?

[goose]

Yeah I agree why would anyone be talking about West Hams move to the new stadium - so now based on your definition analogies need to be current and in the news and exactly the same as the situation you are comparing them too, do you have any more criteria that need to be met in order to validate an analogy before its use? I'll definitely be coming back to you next time!

You seem determined to be proved right about something to prove an analogy incorrect when the point is the Trump plan is bonkers and will never happen and why should the Palestinians move out of their home - my point to you was you don't really understand analogies which is still clearly the case - no matter what you say, you don't understand the use of explaining a scenario by using a simpler analogy to make it simple for the hard of thinking - unfortunately you are clearly thicker than even I thought maybe I need to draw you a picture - do you have your crayons with you or have you eaten them all?

Nope.

It's amazing that you can attempt to move the goalposts so far and so many times and yet still end up being Bon Accord to everyone else's Arbroath.

[BillyJenningsBoots]

You could easily pull apart the scope of the poll and the source............ but its really not worth it.

Its pretty simple - If so many people were forced then where were the protests? where was the outrage? the boycott? none of it happened because most were happy for the club to move forward.

and all of this because you cannot admit that the analogy you posted up was a poor one. you carry on twisting yourself in knots instead of just admitting the analogy doesn't hold. Or you can carry on throwing at insults at anyone who disagrees with you. Take your pick.

i'm fairly confident that when i turn on the news tonight, or read the news online, nobody will be comparing Trumps plan for Gaza to West Ham moving to the olympic stadium.

Good to see the UK thriving under the new government.
The BoE slashed its UK economy growth forecast to 0.75% in 2025, down from a previous forecast of 1.5%. Inflation will rise to 3.7% later this year, driven up by rises in gas prices.


 

only fair to note then that Trumps trade war threats have pushed est US growth down from 2.7 to 1.9% not sure there's any economic winners anywhere in western world at moment, barring maybe Scandi countries

True, but i'd snap your arm off for 1.9% growth.

Labour's entire economic policy was built around growth. It's minimal, largely of their own doing.
So what now?

Those that supported the move did not actively pursue a move, that was the Club not the supporters - you're rewriting both what you said and history too! That poll was done once the decision had already been made the decision wasn't based on the Poll. Even Sullivan himself said that half of the supporters probably don't want to move. The poll was always going to be worded to bend the result as all polls issued by the Club.Nearly nine out of 10 match-going West Ham United supporters oppose the club’s proposed move to the Olympic Stadium according to a supporters’ group. WHU’S VIEW? polled 2,431 fans before the club’s April home games against Birmingham City, Brighton and Hove Albion, and Hull City.The poll asked: “Based on all available information do you agree with West Ham United’s proposed move to the Olympic Stadium?” 13.4% said ‘Yes’, while 86.6% said ‘No’. The results have been sent to the London Legacy Development Corporation, Mayor’s Office, FA, DCMS, and West Ham.

So they organise a fragile peace and hostage swap, and the first thing Trump does is threaten to forcibly relocate them and build his tacky hotels there.

It's almost as if he inciting them to violence again, funny that

Talk about re-writing history.
There were no protests about moving, nobody was forced to buy a season ticket at the new stadium. The club (as a whole inc the fans) chose to move. They actually did a survey and people wanted to move.

Nobody was forced to move - jeez how can you say that. Oh yes I forgot for those that didn't want to move you can still go down to Upton Park to watch us at the Boleyn! When you say "We" you mean Gold, Sullivan and Brady - no supporters actively sort the move to the Bowl we wanted to stay where we were, some were resigned and clearly you were looking forward to it as I'm sure some others were liking the idea of a shiny new stadium.

Oh so you wanted the move yeah... great good for you! I know a lot of people who were dead against it. I think Soldo said he'd never go to another home match and I know others who have said the same. You know real fans of the the club and its history! Others though dead against it but still attend because we love West Ham wherever they play but it doesn't mean we were happy about it!

Poor analogy - clutching at straws yeah carry on mate thats the only phrase you've proved you do understand!!!

It’s not a theory it’s a fact. There is proof  of censorship  over Hunter Biden’s laptop, and Covid on social media. Politico have this week been proven to be funded by USAID and since the clamp down haven’t been able to pay their staff. 

$500,000 to Politico for 37 users subscriptions at the U.S. Food and Drug Administration.  Nothing dodgy about that.  haha

$8,000,000 of US tax payers money (so some of it mine) was going to Sri Lanka for pronoun lessons.

Literally everyone on here...

You still dont get it do you! Upton Park wasn't bombed was it ok we all get that yes agreed? But we were forcefully removed from our home against our will. You see what I did was I used our situation bringing it around to football and compared it (tongue in cheek) to Trumps offer.

It doesnt matter how Gaza or The Boleyn had been turned into a shithole it was about being moved against our will and how we reacted to it, obviously on a much smaller scale, to demonstrate how the Palestinians might feel about leaving their home. Even though their home has been bombed to fuck they still are furious at the thought of being forced out. We were annoyed at being forced out and our home wasnt even bombed it was just sold from underneath us!

It was about how we felt - shiny new stadium we should be pleased surely. No we dont want to move, but Green St is a shithole and the stadium is falling down No we still dont want to leave!

nobody was forced to move. we actively sought out the move and wanted it to happen.
remember all those protests during the last season at upton park? no me neither.

Billy this is one poster pointing out your analogy doesn’t work:

”He might have a point if West Ham fans invaded Spurs stadium, killed a load of people and took others hostage, as they want to wipe Spurs fans off the planet and claim their stadium is rightfully theirs.

Unless the analogy is that jealous Charlton fans are opposed to where Hamas get relocated?”

you even liked a post pointing out your analogy doesn’t work.


here’s another telling you your analogy doesn’t work:

”A better analogy would be if someone turfed you out of your home and blew it up then, after leaving you homeless for a year, generously offered you a delapidated prefab in Jaywick.”


let’s turn it around another way, did anyone say “that’s an accurate and reasonable analogy”??

Even though their home has been bombed to fuck they still are furious at the thought of being forced out. We were annoyed at being forced out and our home wasnt even bombed it was just sold from underneath us!

It was about how we felt - shiny new stadium we should be pleased surely. No we dont want to move, but Green St is a shithole and the stadium is falling down No we still dont want to leave!

nobody was forced to move. we actively sought out the move and wanted it to happen.
remember all those protests during the last season at upton park? no me neither.

the only parallel in your 'analogy' is moving location. which makes it such a poor analogy. carry on clutching at those straws though.

Nobody was forced to move - jeez how can you say that. Oh yes I forgot for those that didn't want to move you can still go down to Upton Park to watch us at the Boleyn! When you say "We" you mean Gold, Sullivan and Brady - no supporters actively sort the move to the Bowl we wanted to stay where we were, some were resigned and clearly you were looking forward to it as I'm sure some others were liking the idea of a shiny new stadium.

Oh so you wanted the move yeah... great good for you! I know a lot of people who were dead against it. I think Soldo said he'd never go to another home match and I know others who have said the same. You know real fans of the the club and its history! Others though dead against it but still attend because we love West Ham wherever they play but it doesn't mean we were happy about it!

Poor analogy - clutching at straws yeah carry on mate thats the only phrase you've proved you do understand!!!

I actually saw someone moaning about Trump on the cost of a frying pan yesterday.

These next 4 years are going to be fun.  I'm glad the kids have their pantomime villain back.

Billy this is one poster pointing out your analogy doesn’t work:

”He might have a point if West Ham fans invaded Spurs stadium, killed a load of people and took others hostage, as they want to wipe Spurs fans off the planet and claim their stadium is rightfully theirs.

Unless the analogy is that jealous Charlton fans are opposed to where Hamas get relocated?”

you even liked a post pointing out your analogy doesn’t work.


here’s another telling you your analogy doesn’t work:

”A better analogy would be if someone turfed you out of your home and blew it up then, after leaving you homeless for a year, generously offered you a delapidated prefab in Jaywick.”


let’s turn it around another way, did anyone say “that’s an accurate and reasonable analogy”??

An analogy is a comparison between two things to show how they are similar.

There’s no similarity or parallel between Gaza and West Ham moving stadiums. That’s the point. But you carry on grasping for some of you wish.

There doesnt have to be an exact similarity on every fucking level otherwise it would be exactly the same.

How analogies work

Analogies compare two things that are otherwise unlike. 

They are based on the idea that if two things are similar in some ways, they may be similar in other ways. 

Analogies can be used to help people understand abstract concepts by comparing them to something more concrete. 

The analogy and the point I was making wasnt about your homeland being bombed it was about being forcefully moved against your will to a new home, slightly tongue in cheek I admit, comparing it to our move to the London Stadium.

Do you get it yet? No I didnt think so a bit too much for your timy little brain to comprehend. Even if you did understand now you are to embarrassed to admit it.

Hahaha yeh you’re definitely proving yourself to be waaaaaay smarter than me here.

As pointed out to you by literally everyone on here, your analogy doesn’t work. Instead of admitting that you’re throwing around insults and desperately clutching at straws to make it relevant. Like I said, you carry on making yourself look ‘clever’.

 

 

You cant help it if you don't understand how analogies work. Yeah you are making me look clever by making yourself look stupid but then you are probably used to that. I suggest before entering into any grown up discussion you should try checking what you are going to say first.

"Literally everyone on here" Now you dont understand what literally means! ffs Goose how thick do you want to look! No one except you has said it doesnt work but then you didnt understand the concept and Im guessing you still dont.

No easy answer indeed. However,it would be a big step forward if Hamas stopped using schools,hospitals etc as storage sites for arms. They really do put a higher value on death than we do on life.

[BillyJenningsBoots]

First off the only reason the place is in rubble is because Hamas attacked Israel, let’s remember that shall we.

The place is in ruins, who’s gonna rebuild the fucking shit hole?

Obviously you don’t want the U S, so who Billy?
Howling do you want these people to suffer ffs?

Personally I don’t give a shit, I know one thing the US tax payer ain’t gonna pay for the rebuild, so who Billy?

Oh so now you dont want them to suffer having bombed them to oblivion. Thats kind of you.  

If you'd actually read what I said resettling the Palestians is not a new or stupid idea. Yes Gaza has been levelled and the ordinary Palestinian should not be living in the rubble of a warzone, nobody should. So offer to resettle them temporarily and rebuild Gaza using the funds from the rich arab states and the US and make Isreal pay reparations. But suggesting that the USA should own Gaza in a land grab force all Palestinians to leave and then to turn it into a billionaires playground of condos probably developed and owned by Trump and his cronies is frankly insulting to all Arabs and can only be an attempt by Trump to get someone else to come up with a more palatable compromise because it is the most ridiculous of suggestions!

Hey I hope thats the outcome and maybe this is just a distraction from the utter chaos of his first 2 weeks in power.

Hey look over there... !!!!!!!!!! 

So Trump so far is the only one who has come up with a possible solution, while everyone else is sitting on their hands as per. Doesn’t seem like the countries surrounding them care too much to help and Lebanon is 60 % Palestinian apparently, what does that tell you?

Trump, if nothing else has laid the table, now let’s see how much the other Arab nations care to invest in Hamas. I think you’ll find it will probably be the Iranians, only problem is, they’re about to go broke.

personally I think Trump said the U S will take over Gaza to trigger the other nations to finally step up. One tac tic Trump always uses is positioning, he always sets any negotiations up with strong positioning. This is no different.

As I’ve said Hamas attacked Israel, they fucked around and found out, Israel has every right to protect itself and its citizens. So fuck knows why you’d expect Israel to pay a penny towards any rebuild.

Trump has made it clear the U S is no longer gonna be involved in nation rebuilding at the expense of the U S tax payer, so let’s wait and see what happens.

in the mean time we can all sit back and watch them live like rats in the rubble. Let them wallow in prolonged misery and disease, perhaps they’ll think twice next time.

Although if you have nothing to lose then the chances of it happening again will be much higher so not sure that’s the best option.

But it is their rubble so good for them. 
And Rubble is what they asked for how fucking stupid.

So now you do want them to suffer. Nice! Your true colours coming through. Women and children are just cannon fodder yeah and they are guilty of what!

Isreal should pay reparations because of the war crimes that they have commited as per the UNC. You do know theres an arrest warrant out for Netanyahu.

I know Hamas started this war but Isreal cant defeat them by trying to remove/destroy Palestinians theyll still find ways to retaliate from Iran and Syria. Its a futile waste of lives. 

There is no easy answer. But I keep reiterating its the way Trump has landed this that has caused the uproar. If he'd angled to look like aiding the Palestinians instead of a land grab and development profiteering maybe more countries would buy into it and if he was successful maybe he would get his Nobel prize that he is looking for.

Like I said its not going to happen.
