Oh! it's all so much clearer now, thanks!

Should I have said 'breakers yard' instead of scrap yard?

Why would you want to fight in a scrap yard? It is cause in Britisher, a fight is called a scrap? Or is it because that just happen to be where your a...

This is a step too far for me to comment on this issue any further to you Andrew. You need to discuss such with those better qualified than I.

Is this not still a claim made by anti-gay individuals, who suggest gay men have a genetic disorder of development? I would assume you would find such...

Ok, It was useful to drill down a little more into your position in this issue.

Can you not try harder? Have you ossified when it comes to your notions of conservative norms?

Ok, then I think it would quickly become a lounge discussion based on how I had planned to form the OP. Thanks. I will leave the idea alone for now.
