You're right, i do disagree. I disagree with your 'drive-by' copypasta'ing of biased drivel with little attempt in actually engaging into an intelligent discussion. It's exactly the type of shite that should be kept to BookFace, not forums like CS.
Oh and have some more smilies...... 
You seem upset.
I find it ironic that you're accusing me of not engaging in intelligent discussion while at the same time dismissing an article on economics that references the IMF as 'biased drivel'
Why not have a go at challenging some of the points in the article? have you read it?

So they have used 1 stat from the IMF to make a point but you could easily say from the other side
"Britain’s economy and growth rate is “solid”, the International Monetary Fund said on Tuesday", multiple other reports with slightly different stats showing the recovery is good from the IMF. Just because 1 stat from the IMF might back the labour campaign does not make it the IMF 'stance'
its not a cop out argument. Its one that is seen time and time again through the years where people will throw loads of stats together but when you actually look at the all the stats around a given area its not quite as its made out.

Asked my mate a month or so ago and he wouldn't tell me, said his parents never told anyone so he doesn't now. He doesn't really know why.
I do find it quite weird people not telling you, but I guess they feel you'll judge them. Like o have, he runs a pub in Boars Hill, Oxford, all the houses around him are £1m plus, all his customers vote Tory. He'll be voting tory. Snob.

probably because the age range of people you communicate with arent of voting age yet so dont know what you are asking.

I think it should be secret.
You only have to start a conversation on politics and it becomes clear within a couple of minutes why.

Nothing wrong with a healthy debate. If you want it to be a secret then you have something to hide imo.
Vote for whoever you like and accrpt the ribbing you'll get if you vote for labour/Ukip/snp.

My mate just phoned me up and proudly announced that he had just voted for the first time in his entire life simply because "I don't want that Milliband C**T getting in, it would be an international embarrassment".
It made me LOL

Good lad.
ukip are trying to get a seat here. Not on my watch. A seat for them is one less seat for the proper party.
