Offer him concrete evidence that he's wrong. If you can't do that, you need to start considering whether some of the things you assume to be true might not be. Sounds like your dad is the one with an open mind.
@NoContextBrits
All MPs of all parties, and their families, should be legally required to get all their healthcare on the NHS. It would all be sorted soon enough then.

I think I see the problem here. You're listening to her. Have you considered not paying the blindest bit of attention to anything she says? It has saved many marriages.

My wife phoned and asked me "Would you like to come home at lunchtime for a quickie?"
I said "I think you'll find, my love, that it's pronounced 'keesh'."

No point invading Switzerland. Their only plunderable resources are snow and chocolate, and both of those melt before you get them home.
@OldRoberts953
Reminds me of the story of the fellow at a posh white-tie do in the 1940s who cannot remember the name of the lady he's speaking to. Hoping to get a clue, he asks "And your husband, is he still in the same job?" "Oh yes," she replies, "he's still the King."
I see lots of people who lambasted Trump for not accepting the result of the 2020 election are now tweeting about Hillary Clinton and the 2016 election with the hashtag

. These people have no selfawareness, do they?

I don't think it's unreasonable for a museum covering the history of public transport to charge people who choose to go there by private car.
All this stuff about "A.I.", I've not been following because it's very boring, but what's obvious is that this is not any sort of A.I., is it? It's just a bunch of algorithms smooshing stuff together. It's like those 'hoverboards' a few years ago that had wheels.
@StephenCVGraham
The Iraq War ended in 2011, 13 years ago. The equivalent for Nam would be 1988. Full Metal Jacket, Hamburger Hill and Platoon were all released in 1987/7. So I think the answer to your query is: yes.
@joerichlaw
Who amongst us has not accidentally included someone else's qualifications on our own CV? The last one I submitted to a job application had my brother's A-levels, my neighbour's date of birth and my uncle's phone number. Could happen to anyone.
@DreyfusJames
If trans-identifying males have a 'right' of access to women's spaces, the women no longer have the right of privacy. It's that simple. It actually is a pie.
@fesshole
Similarly, I would love to have a pet leopard. But instead I watch them on TV or at the zoo and, on the whole, I think that's a better option. (I do have a child. That's what makes me long for the relative calm and cleanliness of a pet leopard.)

She didn't say "you're not allowed to sing", she said "you're not allowed to sing church songs." If it's a busking law, why was she specific about what sort of song is or isn't acceptable?

The mara is a rodent that thinks it's a tiny deer. Baby maras are therefore the world's smallest quasi-deer. And they redefine adorable.
@fesshole
I don't understand. You're on Twitter. It's packed with attractive young women, with few or no followers, looking for romance. I bet half a dozen reply to what I'm typing now.

The mental health benefits of waking up naturally instead of being dragged out of bed by an alarm clock five mornings a week cannot be measured.
@anon_opin
People on here saying "I need it for this", "I need it for that", all citing things that people had no problem doing in the past in cars that were just, you know, car-sized.

Whatever your political affiliation, it is NEVER a good thing for one party to have a majority that size. It renders the opposition utterly toothless and destroys the importance of Parliamentary debate.
@fesshole
Fluids such as gravy or custard, yes. Also very tiny particulate matter. Anything larger, and you're looking at a blockage. Maybe not this week, maybe not next week, but one day...

To save everyone else googling.
I'm intrigued by the idea that there could be 10 'Abrosexual FAQs'.
Q1. What?
Q2. No, sorry. What?
Q3. What are you on about?
Q4. Do your carers know you're out?
@DreyfusJames
My reading of this is that she didn't complain or object, she merely questioned what the pronouns were for. I can think of only three situations where even questioning something is heretical: religious cults, totalitarian political regimes, and gender ideology.
@Jebadoo2
There's no pride flag outside my local greengrocers. All the local gays are standing outside on the pavement, wondering where they can buy a lettuce now.

When a waiter brings the bill, they should bring the card machine as well so I can pay it there and then. I don't want to glance at it then wait ten minutes for them to come back.

Everyone knows that if you meet two ladies who look like they might be mother and daughter you assume they're sisters. If they are, no harm done. If you were right the first time, you've made someone's mum's day.
Remember when people liked David Tennant? When he was in Dr Who and seemed like a really cool and nice guy, before we found out he really, really hates strong women and thinks children shouldn't be allowed to just be themselves.
During his speech at the British LGBT Awards, David Tennant told Tory politician Kemi Badenoch to 'shut up'
'Until we wake up and Kemi Badenoch doesn’t exist anymore… I don’t wish ill of her, I just wish her to shut up'

It's amazing how easily a rear windscreen wiper can get caught up in clothing and accidentally ripped off then thrown over a nearby hedge.

I was walking through the town centre wearing a bowler hat. With my waxed moustache, this makes me look like Hercule Poirot. A car went past and someone yelled "Hey! Sherlock Holmes!"

Yes, it's certainly appropriate to put mustard that doesn't taste of mustard on a sausage that doesn't taste of sausage in a bun that doesn't taste of bread.
@fesshole
This seems reasonable. It's unpleasant for other staff having to work next to someone who smells of cigarettes, and in a customer-facing role that would actually lose trade. Plus for some people with asthma even secondhand smoke can be a serious health problem.
@fesshole
I live in Leicester and even I prefer Taytos to Walkers. When we visited Belfast on a British Isles cruise this year I took a bus from the port to the city centre just to go into a newsagent and buy packs of Taytos.
@Birdyword
The festivals demanded: "It's your choice: sponsor us or continue to work in your core business." And BG said: "We'll take the core business option, thanks." Hilarious!
@andrewlawrence
When Groucho said "I refuse to join any club that would have me as a member." he was being zany. When Stephen Fry says it, he's just being a privileged, posh, hypocrite.
