Some British **** :D

........................ and enjoy a bit of mutual slapping?? :eek: :D

Well get that *** out of your mouth and you will. ;) :)

no no no Come on get a grip. :) You know how stupid that is. Strangle the cat, jump into bed with the delivery boy, stick pins in a white coated Dr doll, start a controversial thread on here; anything , but please don't start smoking.

There was an amount of forum tension between Superbob and I for a while. We worked it out and now I consider him a forum friend. :) Bonzo has no intention of leaving. Scott, you are a voice of reason with much to give, please don't give in to the people on here you have issues with by leaving...

OK that's me done for a few hours. (Cue thunderous applause :D) Our schools go back after Summer break tomorrow, today I have to meet with our girls tutor group head to set targets for the next academic year.................................. I'll be back ;)

Mary I have no wish to quarrel with any one. However some loud forum hostility to a world view should not stop me posting that view. Is this an inclusive global forum or an exclusive USA forum?

May I take a moment to point out the irony here? Actually Dennis the irony here is a current affairs post by me has become victim of VR.com internal politics. ;) :(

Dennis, surely an intelligent responsible citizen has a duty to get inside a politicians head? The politician is our representative, it is incumbent on us to analyse the individual who will be our spokesperson and legislator. To listen to speeches, read manifestos, look at voting records and try...

As a point of order I didn't start this thread The first post was in Phillip's 'Gustav' thread. Obviously I considered it fair and relevant. Oaktree then took offence, cited rules and protocols, deemed the post political and asked it became a separate thread. Ross moved the post with some (not...

Engaging with people is a basic political requirement. If politicians don't have meeting and greeting skills they are non starters. I bet Attila the Hun kissed a few babies on his rise to power.

:eek::eek::eek::eek::eek::eek::eek::eek::eek::eek:

I post a view aired on the BBC about government handling of a weather event in New Orleans and ask for opinions. Within a few posts I'm under attack for being a. political and b. anti American. It's enough to make a saint scream. :eek:

For the last time I AM NOT ANTI AMERICAN, Problem is some of you guys are so ultra sensitive to any criticism of Uncle Sam, be it real or imagined. Patriotism can be a great strength, also a major weakness. ;) Blind jingoism is IMHO a major weakness. Inability to self criticise also a...

Here is a link to the BBC piece on Gustav, it melds into a report from Bihar, India where 100s of thousands are homless due to flooding http://news.bbc.co.uk/today/hi/today/newsid_7591000/7591320.stm the guys name is Alan Pond

No attempt to make you (the USA) look stupid Lisa. Your spokespersons and leaders do that very well on their own without our help. :p Sadly it seems to many in the rest of the world very little external comment and advice affects the USA. :rolleyes: Yes, it seems not much of your serious in...

Nervous, don't do too much too soon. ;) A part time couple of weeks as a lead into full time work is a good idea. :)

Oh come on Oaktree allow some breadth. :confused: As the original topic is labelled 'Gustav' IMHO posts concerning Gustav are in order. Implicit in my post was the human dimension re an undue amount of upheaval for the people of New Orleans. It seemed they could be failed twice, first by...

Would it be rude to comment from Europe on a tense New Orleans situation?? The BBC ran a piece this morning, where a seemingly well informed New Orleans resident of British origins was rubbishing the manipulative nature of local government and it's failure to give residents the proper facts...

A nice gentle afternoon stroll can be very relaxing :D Thanks for that a great link. :)
