Thread: You Could Have Heard a Pin Drop

The market is waning, less people interested in looking sharp, sitting on the veranda looking at the plantation workers doing their daily routine . . . G&T at hand

But unlike Camel Toe, for instance, you would be grateful that she did heat the water.
I find this general feeling of entitlement quite sad; look at me. Look what I did for you! You must forever holds me in awe and be eternally grateful . . .

I notice you've been called my 'buddy' now. Guess I'll have to take you off ignore eh?

Entitlement. Here's the thing. Merkins, like the Thai, are exceptionally sensitive and easily offended. Like the Thai, their education system and media have fed them a one-sided diet of glorified crap. Unlike the Thai though, Merkins have developed the interesting PC twist.

Now Mr. Average Merkin comes on an international discussion board, loudly (err, loudly? Merkins ain't loud are they?) proclaiming their entitlement to respect because hey, their fathers/grandfathers/uncles/whatever died in the defence of UK/Europe.

Now in all my time on internet boards, I have never heard an Ozzie, Kiwi, Yarpie, African etc. say anything like that. It seems that they are blissfully unaware that it was a World war. So, they are very PC and sensitive, yet totally insensitive to the fact that many nationalities sacrificed. Thin-skinned elephants, really.

They get offended if their 'sacrifice' is ignored, yet happilly and stupidly ignore all others'.

How to win friends and influence people. I, like so many people, like individual Americans, but so many of them are doing such a damn good job of creating enemies with their farkin attitude that I'd not bet on for how long it will still last.

Sounds good to me as I do not think much of you or your lot either.

^You don't think much of anybody except yourself, probably because if you don't think highly of yourself, nobody else will eh?

Hey what?

their fathers/grandfathers/uncles/whatever died in the defence

Certainly you meant defenSe. I never heard of defence. Is that English? A football term?

I think quite highly of myself and very highly of my friends who you know most of from their posts on here, but we do not agree with everything that is said by anyone, especially some phoneys.

I think that his granddad was killed in the first war and his dad in the second and that dude is slighting him on it and I do not blame him for being pissed, my dad was over there for 3 years and I was worried the whole time that he would be killed and I would never see him again.
And actually the way I see it is the way most of you look at the USA and the war in Iraq and in afghan and where ever they have seen fit to send troops,, it was and is really none of our fucking business if hitler was daily bombing london or the war in eurpoe was none of our fucking business either, the Japs bombed us and so we did own then one, and finally gave em 2 and put a stop to it, other than that, we should have stayed at home. But my grandad was over there in the first and my dad in the second, but they both came home., so I can't see where we owe England or Europe a damn thing.
But thats not the way an American operates and if you need a hand then we usually are first to reach out.
IMHO

Cheap Thai whiskey can rot your brain you know.

Not really. Something about not getting respect because something his uncle did 70 years ago. Blackgang's on ignore so I can't read his gems unless they're quoted . . . did anyone ever figure out what he meant with his anti-blacks racist rant?

Camel Toe and BG . . . logical bedfellows in this scenario

it was 1983 or 1982, can't remember exactly. It was over the Rainbow Warrior sabotage because GREENPEACE was planning a protest of some kind over the French underwater nuclear site

the killing was an accident, they were supposed to sink the boat, not kill someone inside

Well if I am on ignore, why can you see what I write?
you said it can't be done when I had you on ignore and took shit from quotes,, but what was not supposed to work for me works for you and antsy,, I see now..

Yes CT, I have noticed this too, and it does make the Hats heart race up to 190 pulses a minute, which is a tad fast for a man his age to get into such a sexual frenzy.
I do not know what it does to the Mulatto, as he has some structural faults and might cave in and implode/explode at any second.

So Blackgang's shit stay and other posts are deleted . . . typical rubbish by the mods

With all due respect to all parties I must say this.

I grew up in a rather small town with a county seat of about 10,000 people. The courthouse was and still is in the middle of town.

To add to the park like atmosphere the county would add a few benches and tables for people. This is where the fun began.

Old men would whittle something and spit.

As a young man I would often stop and sit on these benches, trying to absorb the conversations. The old men would not talk or argue that much but when they did...

Talk about a learning about the real world. It was great.

Thanks for the memories and hopefully I can pass on the tradition.
