Incomplete - catch the tail end of that, before you click back upthread to where you started the gratuitous insults -
'Kastel - this is an o&g thread, maybe we could arrange the sniping at brits, british columbians, Sir John Eh or indeed anyone not oil-related, on the free for all or winter threads, when i'm in a typing mood and have time [not tomorrow], and sure by all means let's get into the relative merits and/or demerits of steering this country in its youth away from the north korean model - but not here'
At least this time you were able to spell 'risking', you immediately discount it to nothing though - the highway analogy is a stretch, you'd really have to work to make it fit ... for one thing, you go out onto the highway voluntarily, you have the choice of back roads or of staying put or of just staying away - BCians downstream of that dilbit and along the coast will not have such a choice, once built the spectre of massive spill will be hanging over their heads twenty-four seven until its flow is stopped and the whole thing is thoroughly cleaned up, this is a disaster coming to them, not one they head toward
As for these insults, 'silly greedy barbarous cruel etc' - g.f.y., you're only confirming my belief that Sir John Eh and henchmen took the right course on immigration, i'm glad my family is not subject to the chinese organ harvest, we're not likely to get shot in the back while escaping the thug regime du jour over mountain passes, and we aren't forced to do choreographed calisthenics in honour of some pasty fat puke in a cheap monkey suit ... no apology whatever - it is imho better to live with such semblance of british rule of law that we enjoy, some reasonable attempt at democracy, a fair decent degree of freedom of expression, vestiges of respect for individual rights as per ancient english yeoman tradition, and i note that most all places on this planet that are not utter and complete shitholes share much in provenance of these qualities ... things like what we used to call 'manners', an alien concept to many for sure, they were a form of etiquette under which, for instance, a person wishing to engage in nationalistic or provincialistic slurs would do so on a thread set up for the purpose, such as that started by elmat and now run by Jay Chen, where Mq could state the case for Truth Beauty and VVVs, he does it so well, and seems to have the time, i don't |
