cichlid crazy Hobbyist Posts: 58 Kudos: 37 Registered: 01-Feb-2006 | Ok, firstly, if you have a life you wouldnt sit in and watch jerry springer all day to get a laugh - ever. Didn't say I watched JS ALL day did I? None of your business where I live but I've never heard of the trailer park places you mention - I expect they're the same world over, also seeing as how I was replying in jest to Joe Potato what's what I say got to do with you anyway? As for understanding folks from S Wales, Newcastle, Scotland or Plymouth don't forget Brummies, Cockneys, Pikeys or anyone else who doesn't speak like they've got a plum up their backside........................ As for curbing my childish comments = nah I'm having too much fun Joe Potato I like your style - bring it on baby, bring it on I like 'em naughty |

Basically, would you say the things you said in a bar, jest or not, if there was a bunch of americans sat at the other end of the bar? you offend me, in your lack of understanding of the evolving world, whether you were joking or not.. |

Callatya Moderator The girl's got crabs! Posts: 9662 Kudos: 5261 Registered: 16-Sep-2001 | Ooooohhhkay. This has degraded somewhat. discussing policy and politics is one thing, this doesn't appear to be it. I can understand why other boards haven't said anything at all about this. Perhaps there was a lower population of Australians to take offense at the original statement, or maybe they just don't see the difficulties associated with what is proposed, but either way I do understand that this was a bit of an anomaly. I was certainly expecting to get beat over the head for being a whale hater (I'm not, but as I said earlier, this is an emotive issue) All the same, if the point is to garner support for whale protection, it might be worth considering a different approach that isn't quite so confrontational and offensive to other nationalities or subcultures. Now, we either get back to whales or we close this mess. |

denver Mega Fish Mile High.... Posts: 1031 Kudos: 205 Votes: 110 Registered: 25-Jul-2000 | I say just close the thing and get it over with. Once again, there are people that are overly emotionally attached that allow themselves to start attacking other countries and their policies and politics. Being an AUSTRALIAN I still get miffed at people calling us gutless when really there's nothing we can do. Why fight a battle we know is a worthless thing to fight? Calla - just close it. Its only going to start degrading even more. |

cichlid crazy Hobbyist Posts: 58 Kudos: 37 Registered: 01-Feb-2006 | ..............<<<<<<<<<< In answer to your question - no I wouldn't say such things in a bar as I never go in them because I don't drink alcohol. Callatya sorry for going off topic in my previous posts and my apologies (once again) if this issue has pi**ed anyone off but if someone wants to have a jibe at what I've written and take things right out of context rather than look at the bigger picture that's their loss. If you feel this post should be blocked then so be it. |
