Turbo Capitalist-sell out for the forums
That AXA PPP banner ad is a bit fishy, isn't it?
Private health insurance?
"Nothing like a healthy bit of competition"?
I smell capitalist fagotry.
Let's hope the Socialist Worker's Party comes and protests about it.

Re: Turbo Capitalist sell-out for the forums
The Socialist Worker's Party complains about everything. Communists don't even like their own mothers.

What the hell do hazardous by-products have to do with anything?
Anyway, I look forward to the glorious ads for "Privatise all Schools" ads which will be debuting shortly.

Re: Turbo Capitalist sell-out for the forums
My dream is to one day work for a company that gives me private cover.
Maybe I should apply for a job at BUPA, or possibly AXA PPP

Re: Turbo Capitalist sell-out for the forums
If they are advertising private health insurance here, capitalism must be about to implode under the weight of its own stupidity. Once the revolution is over, we can all post about how capitalists are never happy with anything.

Re: Turbo Capitalist sell-out for the forums
It's a damn shame that the thread preview thingy that pops up on hovering your mouse disappears after three seconds. It's a bit too short to completely read what the thread is about.

It seems to be displayed for about 5 seconds for me--which is sufficient.
They should get some region-specific ads though, as I'm not going to be buying health insurance from a company in the UK.

Remember that time you complained to me that factories affected other people's land by emissions that occur on their property? THAT'S RIGHT I REMEMBERED!

I still don't see what that's got to do with Communism...
My original point about property rights wasn't particularly communist - there's plenty of land-law cases currently which rest on ideas of extended-property rights. If you say anyone can do whatever they want on their land then this means I can play my super-stereo at five billion decibels thus killing everyone in a 5 mile radius, so long as I don't step outside my land. This, ignoring issues of justice and the legitimacy of land-ownership claims, seems a little 'silly'.

I'd support your right to do that for the sheer comedy value

Knights don't actually take kings (if the game being played is chess).
