    Blimey what a rant. It isn't me who has a problem matey, it's you. Anyhoo let's call it a day shall we - I've a feeling there isn't gonna be any meeting of minds on this? [​IMG]

    'ASS U MEing' That's very clever. I've been seeing it a lot lately. :rolleyes:

    :rolleyes: How many more times do I need to say this - the IRA unfailingly forewarned the plod with a phone call, and tried to keep the casualty count as low as possible, whereas Islamic State doesn't give any warnings, and tries to kill and maim as many as possible. See the difference? (Jesus!!!)

    I'm tempted to answer that in such a way that I'd deploy the word 'feminist', but I don't want to risk over-stepping the mark rules-wise. But I don't care how women dress, because I have enough self-control and respect for females not to assault them. Those from other cultures seem not to have such self-control, so when they eventually arrive in your isloated community, Bowerbird, I wouldn't dress provocatively if I were you. There's no need to thank me for that sound advice. You obviously need it!?

    Still many many civilian lives lost and injured, with fairly frequent attacks. But if you think that is okay then I shall leave you to your delusion and blissful ignorance!

    I think you know the truth but have dug a hole too deep on the issue to climb out with credibility in tact.

    Frankly no. The IRA once they established that they would warn could then use that to strike fear and terror without having to do much more than make a phone call

    You're absolutely right, and I've often thought that that will be one of the strategies which IS will deploy. So much disruption of major events, then their cancellation, and for good measure (as you so rightly say) fear and terror striking into the hearts of so many, all for the cost of a local phone call. It could catch on? Let's all hope it doesn't?

    I don't know what 'truth' you're alluding to - clue please? Incidentally I'm neither delusional nor ignorant.

    :rolleyes: No, I don't think that.

    Well I hope for your sake it stays that way. Obviously the jihadists haven't arrived there yet.

    I think we're done here, Bowerbird.

    Yeah, I know, that's what I'd been saying. On the latter I'm not convinced.

    Nope. I'm a girlie, and I think Mem Fox is an awful old snootypants elitist ... telling others (including children) how to think from the comfort and safety of her ivory tower.
