If (*if*) Scotland get a try, yeah they'll get into it you think. So, so many errors from them, daft - very entertaining game though

I believe it does.

I don't view it as repressing sexuality though. I view it as a move towards a change in attitudes.
A move to repress the attitude I witnessed yesterday, and have witnessed countless times.
In an ideal world people could enjoy each other sexually without that baggage, don't even know if that's possible.
I enjoy looking at hot women as much as the next guy, I'm no prude. In fact, a couple of years ago I'd most likely be on the other side of the argument. Having daughters has coloured my opinions on it.I hold silver in tit for tat, and I love you for that

Recall that shame about nudity and sexuality is not universal, nor indeed normal.
I think the argument has perfect parallels in things like teenage pregnancy in Mormon and other super religious places.

So a shill talentless Irish comedian does weak assed paddy jokes to a baying ignorant audience in the UK
Soon after, 1000's of Irish people in said UK have to put up with "I'm only having a laugh paddy" versions of said joke...
Some of the arguments used against the removal of pit/darts girls on here might look good on the internet when structured into pretty sentences, but they hold no water in the real world!

Well the fundamental law of rugby remains. Forwards win games and backs determine by how much. Scotland just didn’t have the ball carriers in the tight to earn them the space and time to score.

In fact I'm suggesting exactly the opposite...
I'm trying to understand why you and he think that 'hiding sex' from everyday life will help change guys like that's opinions?

I received a phone call from a gorgeous ex-girlfriend this morning who called 'out-of-the-blue' to see if I was still around.
We lost track of time, chatting about the wild, romantic times we used to enjoy together.
I couldn't believe it when she asked if I'd be interested in meeting up and rekindling a little of that "old magic".
"Wow!" I was flabbergasted.
"I don't know if I could keep pace with you now", I said, "I'm a bit older and a bit greyer and balder than when you last saw me. Plus I don't really have the energy I used to have."
She just giggled and said she was sure I would "rise to the challenge".
"Yeah." I said. "Just so long as you don't mind a waistline that's a few inches wider these days! Not to mention my total lack of muscle tone...everything is sagging, my teeth are a bit yellowed and I am developing jowls like a Great Dane!"
She laughed and told me to stop being so silly.
She teased me saying that tubby, gray haired, older men were cute, and she was sure I would still be a great lover.
Anyway, she giggled and said, "I've put on a few pounds myself!"
So I told her to fuck off.

Originally posted by Emmet View PostI look forward to you drawing the line logically between f1 grid girls and 'promotions work', male modelling and general advertising (famous diet coke ad). I am okay with all of them tbh, but am open minded to be challenged on that. The hysterics claim is absolutely fine if you can do that convincingly.
The wedge argument is only a fallacy when it can be shown that there is a difference between the arguments presented.
Hence, I haven't commented on the fact that you are using a wedge argument - I commented that I think your premise is wrong. I would obviously oppose such a cabal if it was a real thing.
In reality what happened here is that F1/darts realised the public mood is shifting, and that while nobody watches them for the walk on girls, the girls are to some extent estranging a growing segment of their audience. If F1/darts' profits depended to the tiniest extent on the walk on girls, they would give the two fingers to the loons on twitter from here till the end of time.
Do the outrage merchants influence public opinion? Probably. Would the companies remove the walk on girls if the public adored them? Probably (definitely) not.
The fact that outrage merchants complained about walk on girls and that the walk on girls were later removed does not imply that the outrage merchants caused the walk on girls to be removed. Public opinion is the patently the driving force, radical elements influencing that public opinion to some extent again is nothing new.
The notion of a cabal of feminazis on twitter forcing powerful corporations to make changes to their detriment against the wishes of the general population is just not credible.

You and others have started with the premise that it is something weird or perverse. I don't think it is. If you want people to agree, perhaps you should attempt to engage them on it instead of just repeating the premise?
I haven't suggested at any point any harm is caused by models or promotions people or walk on girls. I certainly haven't said there was anything weird or perverse about any of them.
I haven't actually given any opinion on the morality of having scantily clad women hanging around sports events. For the record I think the walk on girls are pointless and don't add anything to the events they tend to be employed at, but I don't really have much of an opinion on it.
Originally posted by Emmet View PostThe idea that we should actively make mistakes as a society instead of thinking about them (feminazis putting dolly birds out of a job as you put it) and avoiding them is bizarre to me. I didn't learn to drive by bumping the car into everything until I discovered what space was.
I said the the perception of feminazis putting dolly birds out of a job is likely to engender more useful and important discussion on these issues than any attempts to engage the public in a calm debate in the absence of any controversy. The fact that in reality this is not what has happened is inconsequential.
Fears of a central authority of outrage merchants forcing puritanical moral codes down the throats of society at large and dictating practice to powerful corporations along the lines of forcing F1/darts to remove walk on girls is very far fetched.
As always, radical elements on left and right influence public opinion to varying levels, but to confuse that with forcing their own version of puritanism on an unwilling public is foolish.
If you have qualms about the direction in which public opinion is being influenced that's obviously a separate argument, and probably a sign you are getting old.

Keeping it tight. Hopefully we can find another gear in the second half. A 6 point lead is always dodgy.

What the businesses involved are discarding is a particular type of promotional role that to me looks so anachronistic and reeks of Benny Hill level sleaziness that I'm baffled as to why anyone wants to pick this fight.
Call me back when the vegan mob get public display's of meat outlawed or when something worth defending is threatened.
I think I get where you are coming from and what you fear, maybe not but it sounds like MUTBS.

So Mrs DIII is away for the weekend and I am in sole charge of the kids. Most people would see this as a problem but I saw opportunity. Invited a friend for each kid to arrive here at 2. Fed them at 4 and set up a 'cinema' in one of the bedrooms showing Coco with plentiful supplies of popcorn and sweets. Not one peep out of them, I'm on my second Anchor Steam and looking forward to this game being over by 60 minutes.

You have no idea why taking scantily clad women off TV might help, yet want it done. Grand. Just own your beliefs and be honest.

More of it I say.This may or may not be an original thought of my own.
All efforts were made to make this thought original but with the abundance of thoughts in the world the originality of this thought cannot be guaranteed.
