Amiga 4000t scam on ebay

[johnklos]

Holy cow, people! Settle down! We all know that the extremists on both sides are bad. We shouldn't be too PC, but we also shouldn't disparage people who are different.

On the other hand, we SHOULD disparage those who wish to force their desire to be PC on everyone else, and we SHOULD disparage those who wish to force their views about marriage, gender, religion and other things on everyone else.

Be careful if you choose to locate your 'safe space' in a position whilst sitting on the fence you may still get splinters up your bottom!

Again the only people in this non-polar debate that actually feel the effect of anyone 'forcing' ideas upon them are the children of the liberal parents who 'decide' that they should have their biological sex 'hidden' from them so that the 'deviants' can better suggest alternative 'lifestyles' they might prefer to 'choose'!

Next we'll be saying it's ok for eBay scammers to try and sell their imaginery wares because it's their economic misfortune that is resposible for their 'need' to try and deceive the rest of us!

Lol..where is that "Like" button...

Well, if you get scammed on eBay, it is your own fault if you're dumb enough to pay via an unapproved method.
I don't get ripped off in any of my eBay transactions, because I read the listing carefully, and always pay via Paypal.

As to the outside issue that was brought in, I don't feel entitled to an opinion as I'm not involved.

BUT, if we do want to get back to corporal punishment, I'm not in favor of beating sensibilities into 'deviant' children either.

Can't say that I can really see any connection between these two topics.

@Iggy

The link between the two subjects is common sense. The fact  I brought up smacking was because I was talking to JJ the Welshman and  the Welsh Assembly is attempting to change the law to prosecute well  meaning and loving parents. It is common sense to discipline your  children and that sometimes includes smacking as a last resort and deterrent against repeatedly unacceptable or dangerous behaviour. That liberals can't compute such an argument isn't really the point as it's up to the individual parents as to how they raise their own kids! As stated already, denying a child understanding of their biological sex / gender is far more akin to child abuse than reasonable discipline IMHO!

spaceman88  was trying to argue that bad grammar and spelling should be excused on  eBay and my tongue in cheek point was that standards have dropped and  that Canadians no longer understand what gender is never mind the rules of spelling  and grammar ;-)

Perfectly sensible points were we living in a sane culture that isn't trying to eat itself!

...Perfectly sensible points were we living in a sane culture that isn't trying to eat itself!

Odd that we agree that there is a form of cultural cannibalism going on right now.

But to me, it seems to be coming from all sides, right, left, conservative, liberal, wealthy, poor, etc.

I reported it to ebay and  sent him a email saying i believed it was a scam.
He sent me a email today saying "so you aren't going to pay?" lol
He claims to have other suckers lined up for it.

You use the phrase "non-polar" too much; Non-polar is nonsense, as is the rest of this off-topic, psycho-babble screed.

No doubt.
There is this recurring scam on eBay motors where people list cars (that they probably don't even have) claiming to be in the military.
Then they claim they can have the car shipped to you as part of a benefit from the Armed Forces.
Just pay for it directly...and...

No, you just have to be stupid to wire people money or pay by buying them a transferable debit card.
Without a way to seek reimbursement you are asking to be scammed.

[mattsoft]

You should tell him that you're going to pay, but first you need him to front you $1000 so you can free up the funds from your Nigerian uncle. Oh, did I mention that he is also a prince?

[QuikSanz]

Lol, I like it. roftl

If you have his email address you should post it on 419 Eater or one of the other scam baiting sites.  They'll probably keep him bust for a while, all time he can't use to scam someone else.

@JJ

It's called stopping the rot and holding on to common sense (and having a bit of a laugh at the expense of non-polar pushing deluded hippy parents to be honest)! If no one gets a handle on this political correct nonsense next thing we know the Welsh Assembly will get crazy outlandish ideas too and will start prosecuting parents for lovingly disciplining their OWN children. Heaven forbid we try bringing up well behaved well adjusted children rather than mollycoddled and overly sensitive safe space loving little Buddhas! If you're going to define this century by ridiculous liberal agenda ideas then you need a few jibes directed your way too. Next you'll be campaigning for the right to marry animals! :-)

Oh yeah and enough with the cussing! I guess a lapse into potty mouth is directly related to a lack of discipline whilst growing up too? That or too much Eastenders?

 Triggered.
 
 Potty Mouth lol.  Now I understand.  You are old, and scared of the modern world and just lash out of everything.  You don't like change.   Call for the nurse to bring your hot drink and bring your blanket

[BozzerBigD]

Banning smacking isn't 'modern' and since no country in Europe has  banned it apart from Sweden and France you're with the minority view point not me.  Why should we follow the will of the Council of Europe and take their foolish recommendations on board? Parents are 99% of the time able to decide what's right in regards to their own children and that includeds smacking as a reasoned and measured last resort for repeated unacceptable or dangerous behaviour. And how is using a load of %&?! marks more 'hipster' than using the  phrase 'potty mouth' or the word 'cussing'. I am not 'old' although  admittedly I am a dad and don't appreciate casual swearing just to get a  reaction or to try and limit free speech (are millenials aware of that  concept I wonder).

You're neither as 'representative' of current  majority views as you make out nor are you as 'progressive' as you  consider yourself. Your concern should be for the proper discipline of  unruly children to avoid an unruly and unproductive adult population  that thinks the whole world owes them a living because they got away  with being a little Buddha when they were growing up! I don't dislike  change only regressive change as is happening in the UK and especially  in socialist strongholds where the NHS is crumbling despite investment.  It's the leadership in these councils that is the issue not the money  available! The Labour councils of South Wales are not fit for purpose  and the Welsh voters (especially in the valleys) won't attempt to stop  them because they'd vote for a red rosette on a donkey.

You  think abortion and infanticide is 'progressive' read your history and  see that the Romans were way ahead of you. You want to leave aside the  disciplining of the next generation? Bear in mind that it's something  that was discussed in the Bible hence this foolish view needed  correction even back then and the outcomes are not helping 'modern' day  classrooms;

http://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-2106948/The-angry-generation-Lack-parental-discipline-blamed-aggressive-anti-social-children.html

Being  young doesn't automatically mean being pro-Corbyn, anti-America,  pro-social media and liberal and deluded but keep kidding youreslf we're  all living in Greater London with lefty liberal ideals if you want but  you'd be wrong.

I'll repeat the acusation that you probably think eBay scammers aren't to blame for their own con-artist actions because they were most probably 'victims' of the economic situation they find themselves in and are "just trying to provide for their familes"!

[jj]

Going to stop interacting with you now.  You have mentioned the bible and abortion so I am going to assume you are religious, which means you are probably mentally sub-normal
 
 Plus you quoted a Daily mail article.
