Okay, despite having IT problems YET AGAIN, and at risk of being thrown out without warning, I will stick my neck out and say that the person I REALLY, REALLY, REALLY want for my Valentine is
No, I don't have any particular quirky food habits but....
I do like American mustard on the odd occasion I have a hotdog. I love salted popcorn and I like rootbeer.
Nothing weird there, you may think, but.... they are not well-known over here in the UK.
We do have hotdogs but American mustard is a fairly new thing. The preference is for sweet popcorn and most people have never even tried rootbeer as you can hardly, if at all, get it over here (its an outrage!!).
I lived in Canada so I am au fait with North American foodstuffs.... my fellow Brits are not so much. To Brits, rootbeer is likened to liquid Germoline/mouthwash!!
Well, you seem to have two options in your poll that mean the same thing, but, hey....
My vote goes with "stupidity", I'm afraid. Yes, I truly believe that.... they're soddin' well EVERYWHERE!!!
They're taking over the bloody planet, I swear!!
Gun? God.... NO!!! Stupid person ----> gun = well, its all over, isn't it?!! Let's face it, a lot of these people shouldn't have access to as much as a ball-point pen, FFS!!
I believe there is much in what 2for1 and RayfromUSA state.
World dictatorship? Yes, without doubt. Not as in a sole human dictator, no, but there will be a governing body/organisation to this effect, yes. It has already been attempted and a regime such as this will be the future, sadly.
""The truth" is either hidden behind a bodyguard of lies or it is hidden in plain sight; unrecognized for what it really is...." Yes, this is nothing new..... it has been many generations in the making.
"Transparency" and "accountability" seem to be the buzz-words of late. Does that ACTUALLY mean there really is transparency and accountability? No...!! Commercial/ecomomic/political authority/power would not survive with TRUE transparency and accountability, a la smoke-screen? Three elements needed to succeed in establishing such a regime, as is being discussed, are installing a sense of false security, deflecting attention elsewhere (i.e. create an enemy) AND element of surprise.
BTW.... I am NOT a conspiracy theorist, and I am NOT paranoid...!!
That's a good observation, Mike..... Thank goodness Uli has volunteered to roll in top-up supplies,eh? Just don't let Oslo anywhere near the vino.... Rome only has so much, ya know?!
RE: Just wanted to wish everyone a Happy Valentines Day!
Whoo hoooo....!! I got a couple of Valentine's.... wheeee!!
