So, I appear to have “substantially misunderstood the comment I am replying to”. Followed by comments like my defence is a bad one, and, but we all intuitively understand it to be bad, are quite obnoxious statements, there is a lot of assuming there. Basically, it doesn’t matter what I say, I am obviously too stupid to understand the point you are trying to make, my defence is a bad one because it doesn’t fall inline with your opinion and then to follow it up by stating that we all intuitively know something is bad.
Yes, you have the ability to make your own opinion/decision but please keep it relative to what I said. I never called you entitled, the first post I asked if this was entitlement, the second I referred to your Hypothetical scenario as entitled behaviour.
I will try and simplify my point using a less provocative subject, keeping inline with your hypothetical scenario - even though neither relate to what was said.
If you are in a communal area and there are a group of people having a good time, one turns round to the other and insults them for whatever reason, is it right that you, being offended walk over and confront the person who said the comment. I would speculate, that both people look at you and think, who are you mate.
Why do people feel that they are entitled to step in for someone because they have ‘intuitively’ determined the persons feelings based on their own?
Why do people feel that this person needs your support/backing because they can not handle the situation themselves?
Why do people feel that they have to say something because……
It’s because they feel their opinion/view is right and therefore people are entitled to hear it.
Why are people getting offended on behalf of the commentator? Did anyone actually ask what he thinks about getting fired? This all seems very entitled to me.
Regarding Geopolitics and Selective Ethics, commenting in English, the above.
But seriously, when it comes to football, it’s still Paul Merson, Martin Keown, the redhead chap that used to write in the Daily Mail that my brain now censors and maybe Robbie Savage.
