Are GameSeek kidding with this one or is proof-reading just something they don't bother with?

Found 2nd Feb

I still can't believe they would send this out.

Are you offended by it OP? Report it to the authorities. Given the current climate it will be all over the papers and TV, they'll soon change it.

Are you thinking it says pink poof? Or that you think Kirby is a girl?

Nothing wrong with puff. Now 'poof' would be a problem.

"GameSeek" alone is still the most off-putting part to me.

They are just using wording that Nintendo have previously used.

"Celebrate with Kirby content in honor of the pink puff's big anniversary!"

I do find it amusing that one of HUKD's most vociferous advocators of discrimination would be upset about this though.

Do you know what? I had absolutely no idea they were spelled differently.

Not sure what he means but I remember you saying you had no sympathy for children drowning in the Med. Kind of etched on my memory that one.

It's not that I have no sympathy with the kids. It's that I blame the parents for needlessly risking the kids' lives like that in the first place.

Not wanting to railroad this thread, but having served in some of the countries these people are fleeing, you'd do everything you could to get them away from the life they have ahead of them.

You wouldn't risk your kids life, nor would most people, so imagine how desperate these people are to get away from whatever it is they are running from.

I'm sure there are plenty of other threads about this but there are multiple ways to flee your country without risking your life if you live in the Middle East and Africa. IMHO anybody who bypasses the closest safe country to them and proceeds to Europe or elsewhere is an opportunist and they are needlessly putting their own lives and the lives of others at risk.

The best of it is that you're actually an immigrant to this country yourself if I remember correctly?

That's fine and perfectly legal, I would have thought it would give you a little empathy towards others in a broadly similar position (if a lot unluckier with their start in life) though.
You also think the NHS should be privatised right? (I'm cursed with a good memory) which is pretty subversive. I'll leave it at that.

2nd Feb

The real question here is what price they are claiming to be 'cheapest in the uk' and whether or not their claim is true.
I have reported gameseek 2 times to the ASA for falsely claiming themselves as cheapest in the UK in their email newsletters. Disgusting practice

I have no opinion on the puff really. Rare, I know.

No I don't. I think it should move to a public insurance based system like that of Germany or Japan. I don't think any country should adopt a system like America uses.

I don't support any type of illegal immigration. Full stop. If you're a genuine refugee then there are many programs led by the UN and charity organisations out there to help you. You don't get to hop on a boat and live in the first world without authorisation just because you fancy doing it.

I think I wanted Crom originally but someone had taken it. The 0 has the bonus of making me look a bit edgy.
