chuck ole buddy, this is not the Winspear thread, we're not talking with a bunch of miner guys who can handle anything and are probably half deaf anyway, here we are conversing with tech people who have delicate constitutions and refined sensibilities ..... think of it like being ten years old and trapped in your aunt's parlour, you're not supposed to kick anything or play catch with the fine china, they want you to sit up nice and straight and nibble the cucumber sandwich and drink the overly milked tea with your pinkie in the air, and never mind that on the trip over to visit this place, you thought it was to ride the horses
Would you like to catch GST in a factual error? ... here's one - he just said that the vietnamese have been fighting off invaders for a thousand years .... well that's wrong, actually it's been at least twenty-three hundreds years, because before 200 B.C. it was some invading chinese warlord who named the place Nam Viet, and the vietnamese only gained their independence from this warlord's successors in the 900s A.D. .... then there came about nine hundreds years of alternating invasions and periods of independence, until the french invaded in the 1850s
But you have to be careful how you type this stuff, amigo, lest techies succumb to the vapours .... just a matter of choosing particular words, and the order in which you type them, not so difficult really .... it should be one of your fellow ultra-militarist imperial whackistas telling you this, but failing that here it is from a fellow winspearian ... cháu |
