Newsfix owner loses the plot

First topic message reminder :

Feel free to get personal, use offensive terminology and advance a worldview that promotes sectarianism, violence and hopelessness. Flaunt our rules listed here.

Contact the admin team with any underhanded attempts to get your enemies banned.

If anyone has lost any will to believe it clearly is you Ben, by the above, where only the other day you were claiming to victor to have faith in humanity of which I do. Never seen such poor pessimism in all my life and off where you continue to allow some on the left to continue to abuse daily. If when asked to deal with things in the first place and you handled them with balance, you would not have some of these issues today. The failing and buck stops with yourself how you handle these situations at the end of the day and if you allow, of which you do people to continually get away breaking the rules, then it stands to reason that will continue. Try leading by example, as I have certainly kept to my promise not to abuse, why not others do the same or just stamp down on when people do, but I have to say the above is very petty and very immature to say the very least. I know some are continually trying to goad me to be abusive but to be honest it just gives me further strengh not to be abusive. But get rid of the above as it shows you in the worst possible light.

If it came to a fight for survival, race would not even come into it, it would be everyone for themselves Eddie, or at best families and friends. We are still evolving and if in the past racism was invented, it can certainly go like other bad ideas like slavery as a thing of the past. Time will tell Eddie

this is probably true
I am raised as a Multicultural Australian,
Multiculturalism is basically my 'race' for lack of a better term to define the identifying group.
My group is the one with all the colors, Even with in Sydney I come from the most Multicultural area with the most migrants and refugees.

Basically I am the same as Stormee, defending my 'people' from those that i perceive to slight it.
Just my 'race' includes a much wider variety of genes and geographic decent.

When people say Multiculturalism is a failure or never works they are saying the society I grew up in, i love and that has done nothing but grow and get stronger and richer over the decades is a failure.
Now the mere fact our economic position have reversed in my lifetime suggest that it is NOT a failure at all rather the opposite we are one of the most successful society over the past 3 decades.

when combined with the fact the supposed insurmountable issues are things we dealt with so easily... well it makes me pretty sure the failure is not Multiculturalism but some other aspect of the Implementation in Europe and the UK.

No twisting involved

tghat was an open statement "my side would be those trying to stop it."
it is patently obvious that the side that is going to "stop" it is the side thats winning

being "right" does not of necessity, make you the winner...

whats "right" for you depends on YOUR POV.

I'm just curing the defects of the English.

'Honour' doesn't need a 'u'.

And you need the term, y'all. The English invented a language without a second-person plural expression in the informal dialect. In formal English you have 'thee' and 'thou', but in the informal version y'all have 'you' and 'you' (plural), the same for both. So you nitwits invented a defective language.

The Scots actually offered up the correction y'all. The Scots and Irish migrated and populated the southern US, so it's now a part of the US southern dialect. Y'all be happy now, heah?

Sadly some yanks clearly lack etiquette and go out of their way to belittle the English language with absurd slang, but the most telling point is this:

"American" is not a language; "American English" is a dialect of English. "Americans write and speak differently than citizens of England" is just barely true. The differences between the two dialects are limited and superficial. There is no problem of mutual unintelligibility.

But you so make great TV serials as I've said

We say "all of you"

I'm reading an excellent biography of Theodore Roosevelt right now. He wrote a lot about correcting the wrongheaded English spellings. The 'h' sound is there because there is a subtle exhale that precedes the consonant sound. The problem is that the English use the aspirated consonant (wha'), closing off the ending (or starting the beginning) of a word by a hiccup in the diaphragm (and who concocted the spelling of 'diaphragm' anyway, FGS).

The problem is, you English define the term 'classy' to mean...well, English. You started that during the time of Edward I, who after defeating the Scots at the Battle of Dunbar, said: 'A man does good work when he rids himself of a shit.'

Real classy.

That is real class and spot on, which shows why the Yanks have no comprehension of what is classy.
Have you never been proud of an excellent dump Quill?
