Chicken.... - Page 4

Pheebs · 20-10-2009, 15:11

But my priorities is eating? And paying bills... which I'm trying to keep to a minimum. So... it's insulting to me when someone says they "can't believe" it's a luxury! Why blooming well not?! Absolutely ridiculous and uneducated thing to say.

I would say it's comparable with how you may have felt about comments made about second hand used tyres...

Edit - Sorry Leo I am fuming. Really am. I don't mean to come across short to you if I am

I just think you are reading into this far far too much. Someone just said they couldn't believe chicken is treated as a luxury it was just an opinion. If you want to be fuming, be fuming at me too because I'm afraid I'm of the same opinion. I just don't see how chicken whether it be free-range, value or frozen can be seen as a luxury :/

Me too, I don't think it was meant in a hurtful way Pheebs.

Luxury food to me is food that can't be bought from a supermarket. The sort of stuff that you need to source locally, and order a month in advance. So in that way, I can't class chicken as a luxury either.

I still wouldn't tell someone they couldn't believe it was a luxury!?! Is it just me!?

I understand people have different values but that doesn't mean you shouldn't make other people feel pants about what their values are... which in the way I read Jaimes post came across as that. And a number of other people have said the same to me.

Maybe it's just two different ways of reading the post. I dunno. I would never belittle someone elses values though.

From where I'm sitting Pheebs I'm going to have to say yes I do think it is you. Just because someone has an opinion doesn't mean it's insulting or demeaning in anyway.

I personally don't see it as being insulting because she can't believe that chicken isn't a luxury. If you feel pants then I can't see how it has to do with what Jaime said because I see no malice in what she said, maybe it's just me!

vix · 20-10-2009, 15:38

Yeah, I would express my opinion, and say 'I don't think chicken is a luxury'. Nothing wrong with an opinion.

I think it's difficult to get your point across online, and very easy to read posts the wrong way.

Have you actually spoken to/messaged Jaime about it, or just ranted back at her on here?

Haly · 20-10-2009, 15:38

Personally I found it a little abrupt more than anything. I'm sure Tink didn't mean it in that way but that's how it came across to me. Yet again (as has been covered hundreds of times before) it's all to do with how you phrase something.

Then again I'm in the 'can see how chicken can be a luxury' camp as I stated last night so maybe it's just me too

leowyatt · 20-10-2009, 15:41

Sorry Haly I just don't see abrupt bit either. If she just didn't put the duck/steak bit at the end then yes I could agree that might be considered abrupt but not with what Jamie said.

I just can't see what the fuss is all about.

Haly · 20-10-2009, 15:43

You don't have to apologise

It's all to do with interpretation!

I think everyone just needs to relax and go eat some chicken, vegetables or quorn

Or steak for the lucky ones

And Leo needs to go spell someones name right before she spots it!
