I cc'd Healy and yourself because you both have trouble comprehending English when the post you were thanking was clearly not understanding what I had wrote.alwaysonthego wrote: »Damn thanked you for that comment by accident.
I do not have a problem with English neither! What sources did you use for your statistics, or are they made up ones from your paranoid world! If you are a true academic shouldn't you be backing up your post with a reference list?
The post was not an academic excercise - but those stats can be got at Hansard 12 November 98, Col: 295.0 -
So why are you waisting time and space, arguing with someone with 25 years union experience..how can people take you at face value...this is meant to be a help forumOldernotwiser wrote: »And that's why your arguments will carry little weight, without proof behind them.

ONW has got a valid point, if you want to put across your point then you need reliable stats to back up your argument. People should not take comments on this forum as face value otherwise they could be following well intentional, but wrong advice.nogginthenog wrote: »So why are you waisting time and space, arguing with someone with 25 years union experience..how can people take you at face value...this is meant to be a help forum0 -

That is somewhat asinine - because DMG comment was not addressing the point I made.alwaysonthego wrote: »I perfectly understood your post and dmg's! I thanked dmg because I agreed with her comment.
You presumably would thank somebody who responded "If that were true, why are New Labour in power?" to the same point because you agreed with it - even though the "If that were true" part had nothing to do with it.

If we are throwing around 'big words' I will define your posts has being cantankerous.0 -
Certainly - but the logic of comment (and thanking somebody for it) is devoid of inteligence - for the reasons given.alwaysonthego wrote: »Why asinine, am I not entitled to disagree with you?
"If that were true, why do oranges taste nice?"

Though this does not relate to my point - "if that were true" indeed - latest from DWP:Oldernotwiser wrote: »If that were true, why are there so many more people on sickness related benefits than ever before?Key Findings

Much of the falling number of people claiming incapacity benefit is due to people who worked in heavy industry reaching retirement age and not "rationing" of incapacity benefits.
