Computer technology in general is designed for the amorphous, effervescent souls of Silicon Valley techies, not the resolute steel spirit of a wind-ca...

No need to worry>> In defence of we spud heads, that the craic was mighty we considered a point in our favor and we offer our last dram to any who fel...

@"AmadeusD" Nobody who's read my comments here would say (except as a juvenile attempt at provocation) that I've in any way defended Hamas. Troll fail...

It cost me a gold watch and much negotiations to convince the French Indochines not to condemn me to an extended stay in the local "Hilton". The situa...

Do not poke the perverted bear.
November 24, 2023 at 12:56
They actually do I think! Hoping the sausage stall I ate at is there tomorrow. You never quite know on first viewing with a sausage but that was a fin...

Your scribbles now imbued with gentlewriting have markedly improved. I even read all of that without puking. I retain at least a degree of my Samson-l...
November 24, 2023 at 11:08
Anyway... By means of a compromise by which the pig's ear was swapped for a moderately more edible chicken's foot, I bid the hag adieu and sallied for...

Therein lies your error. Escalation rarely fails. And the "I'm taking off my pants now" gambit is almost always a winner.
November 24, 2023 at 06:25
My dear fellow, your excessive literalness ill-befits gentlemanly conduct. However, your literary taste is beyond reproach. Such a rare paradox of gen...
November 24, 2023 at 06:21
Pictures / shmictures. It's almost as if you doubt the veracity of my locale! Well, if the following laser-like accuracy of descriptive prose doesn't ...

Foofoo, I must say, was uninspiring. I ordered the boat noodles on a whim, but they lacked that sense of maritime excellence one feels entitled to of ...
November 22, 2023 at 09:15
Arrive there tomorrow. I have a reservation at Foofoo la Chow. I'll let you know :up:
November 21, 2023 at 09:41
Thx guys. I've heard eating is fun and I'm pretty sure they have food there. :up:

What does one do with a couple of days in Vientiane?
November 20, 2023 at 09:35
Anyhow, I'm going to let @"Hanover" have the final say in our debate if he wants it and bow out of the thread for a while. I'm saying this here to mak...
November 20, 2023 at 09:34
Yes, here's an accounting of Israeli war crimes, just so far, in this conflict, again to highlight the absurd lie that they are a respectable force. I...
November 20, 2023 at 09:07
Untrue btw. ''The New York Times published a report by its Visual Investigations team contradicting claims by the Israeli Defense Forces that civilian...
November 20, 2023 at 08:46
So, you don't know this: "On 6 November, Israeli forces struck and destroyed the solar panels atop the hospital, leaving it fully reliant on back-up g...
November 20, 2023 at 03:55
As I said to you before I would happily see every member of Hamas blown up with the grenades of your choosing. This is not what's happening. Most of t...
November 20, 2023 at 03:06
You can keep repeating the word "rape" ad nauseum if you like but as far as I know that's a contested claim (from my reading of wiki) and there's no e...

Anyway, I'm campaigning for Trump with @"NOS4A2" now. Let's go bruv.

He's going to be on his ass by the looks of things. :razz:
November 20, 2023 at 01:33
Good. Biden deserves to lose for facilitating the mass killing of civilians and destruction of Gaza.
November 20, 2023 at 01:30
I guess I didn't answer this. With all the qualifications above, if there were a case where Hamas posed a direct threat to Israel from a military posi...
November 20, 2023 at 01:28
How many Israelis do you authorize be killed in defence of Gaza? Israel has destroyed half of the homes and displaced the majority of the people there...

November 19, 2023 at 20:15
The same people who will get angry when their favourite brand of ice cream is out of stock will come and criticize you for being concerned about Israe...
November 19, 2023 at 19:48
You don't get brownie points for not caring about stuff. I'm sure there is stuff you do care about. No idea what that is but I wouldn't get any browni...
November 19, 2023 at 19:44
Your world is a cartoon. What's evil is decided by actions not labels. The blatant disregard for human life, particularly vulnerable civilian life on ...
November 19, 2023 at 19:30
Who has sided with Hamas here? Quote them. Call them out. Or drop the accusation.
November 19, 2023 at 19:26
We all agree Nazis = bad so when we copy paste "Nazi" onto the party we want to call bad (Israel or Palestine) we make it impossible for the interlocu...
November 19, 2023 at 19:18
I made this clear from the start, so your confusion is again 100% yours.
November 19, 2023 at 19:02
I don't want to argue for it because I don't accept it. It's an example of mirroring propaganda. It frames the conversation in a way that presumes the...
November 19, 2023 at 19:00
Deliberate quote out of context. I'm giving an example of contrary propaganda that I explicitly made clear I don't agree with.
November 19, 2023 at 18:55
And if you don't accept it and tell me why the Jews shouldn't have been justified in breaking out of the Warsaw ghetto, I'll accuse you of handwaving ...
November 19, 2023 at 18:51
I'll explain one last time. Suppose I say to you: The Israelis are like the Nazis and the Gazans are like the Jews in the Warsaw ghetto therefore sure...
November 19, 2023 at 18:49
The analogy is utterly stupid, not to mention a malicious attempt to excuse war crimes against innocent Gazans who are not Nazis or anything close but...
November 19, 2023 at 18:44
To the innocent victims, yes, and their suffering should never be downplayed. But to Israel as a country, in military and infrastructural terms which ...
November 19, 2023 at 18:41
Everything in reality is the opposite of the way you framed it but the framing is apt to you? We're at a dead end here. Thanks for the conversation.
November 19, 2023 at 18:34
Israel is the one inflicting the vast majority of death and destruction on Gazans and the one really able to act on it. It seems like you don't know t...
November 19, 2023 at 18:32
As pointed out previously, the comparison of Gaza to Nazi Germany is utterly delusional. And any argument built on that will backfire spectacularly. H...
November 19, 2023 at 18:20
Of course there's a moral element to what "should" be done. There is by definition. And I already said the question is a good one, but it will take ti...
November 19, 2023 at 17:57
I understand things changed after Oct 7th, just as things changed after 9/11. And lo, the same mistakes are being made. 9/11 was a brutal crime agains...
November 19, 2023 at 17:43
Ok, thanks for that.
November 19, 2023 at 17:03
The thing is it's impossible to discuss this with you because to me it is country A vs country B. I have no love or hatred for either the word "Israel...
November 19, 2023 at 17:02
Actually how about you and @"Hanover" beat each other up with your uberman warmongering. I'll just sit by and watch while you savage each other. Get t...
November 19, 2023 at 16:57
Thanks for providing the mirror image of Israeli propaganda with Palestinian propaganda. Maybe you and the likes of @"tim wood" can get a room somewhe...
