Yeah, his misunderstood a long running joke on here.
I've had people spit their drink out at my posts, and alsorts of responses from feeling sick to bursting out in laughter and even one admission that i nearly made someone pee.
This is the only person who i ever heard of that feels threatened by themselves being sick!
Either that or they have something wrong with them, just ignore him!
I'm very passive when it comes to people in real life.
I appreciate peace and quiet and space and am respectful of customs so i tend to look at things and people and learn what i can.
I've only ever asked about 4 people out in my life, the rest of the people i make friends with gradually and i go from there.
So given that i almost never start a conversation on msn/yahoo or skype without prompting you will be waiting forever unless you just say hello to me!
I exlplained this to someone a few days ago....i assume they are talking o someone else and i don't want to interrupt a conversation so i rarely, and i do mean really rarely message people i know to just chat.
If there's a reason, like a problem then i just speak on the phone or send mail.
Mind you if i see you have say a picture of say a fluffy dog or a cat then i might just send a message!!!!
Conspiracy theorists claim the twin towers were brought down by explosives, and the planes were remote piloted into the towers!
Doesn't make it true, but it is very strange how we saw the buildings collapse, and damage elsewhere like the Pentagon where testimony doesn't quite fit the evidence people see.
In short some people will believe anything.
Especially easy to steer people when they are frightened, and most worryingly it is the best time to introduce laws removing your rights on the basis it is for your own good under the auspices of "The War Against Terrorism".
It's basically straight forward psychological warfare, and ive studied it for nearly two decades!
The very first time i read USA Today i was truly shocked.I thought what on earth is this rubbish, it's not a newspaper as far as i could tell.
By reading it anyone would think international news outside the states was minuscule, so it's no wonder people are uninformed if they just read that newspaper.
Compare say the London Times/Sunday Times to the USA today and you'll know what i mean.
It's like comparing the Washington Post to that joke paper where Elvis is on the moon with a red london bus having lunch with Lord Lucan.
I don't think we'll ever know the truth to this part of Modern American History.
Disenfranchising thousands of voters though has certainly added ammunition to anyones argument about democracy and validity of election rigging as happens in other parts of the globe.
It's funny but people the world over listen to the BBC World Service as a source of information in shall we say regions or countries with very controlled state media.
It was almost defacto listening in parts of Africa and behind the former Iron Curtain.
Ironically editorial control of al Jazeera (UK) is very good and loads of good journalists are flocking there from the BBC and other companies. You'll definitely see stuff on there you definitely wont be seeing on any of the American networks or the British ones for that matter.
I'd recommend people take a nose at it and it might surprise you if you think it will be "slanted".
The times (online) is a very credible and the journalism is first class, and as my cousin is an editor of a newspaper i appreciate the quality agnd graft that goes into quality investigative journalism and not just being part of the "whitehouse news pool" where your told when to turn up, get allowed to as questions on the basis of who you work for.Then if you find your press pass cancelled you can be sure your editorial line wasn't appreciated.
Another cousin of mine was the deputy editor for the largest newspaper in Australia.
And i worked in publishing, with people like Viacom, Random House,Bloomsbury so you could say i am say familiar with the media!!
People were surprised how beautiful it was when they visited for the last world cup.
I was amazed they were surprised as its lovely! And i love mountains, i'm a very mountainy person, i like the views, the clean air and the peace and quiet!
Love skiing but cant find anyone mad enough to go with me!
Me too! i'll be moving near you when i get there, near the seafront not far from the bus station!!!! If there's accomodation there when i can leave here!!
I must admit it's very frustrating being here when i'd rather be there looking at the sea today and walking along the seafront, or pating the cats that are i the green bit near the bus garage!
Peoples expectations clearly vary! To me it's a website where i say hello and pas the time when am not doing anything else!
For instance, when i am in Malta you won't ever see me on the forums, i'll be spending my time doing something else.
I see this a a website, and i have met some interesting people through the site some who i call friends now.
Statistically some people will meet on here and other places as well, but the majority of relationships are founded in the real world.
Think of this site is the opportunity to say hello at a party, and then after the party you follow up your interst in someone you spoke to briefly at the party!
So think of this as the "Hi" and then make your efforts to meet someone on the site if you so called inclined to do so!
Oh i'm not upset, but clearly he want's something in a link where the source material cant be provided.
It would require almost a book to provide such evidence, and for what, just for the attitude above to say.....prove it....it's a terrible waste of time.
Far more useful to say expand on a theory or the ideas of a mainstream media outlet, rather than ask for a specific link which to be honest will prove nothing.
It's just called being pedantic.
Far better and more interesting to say discuss Alex Jones, or say Daniel Pipes or for that matter anything productive.
The main point being productive, rather than seeing a list of my quotes asking me to prove it prove it prove it.

RE: Do you think some people monopolise the threads to much?
lol...I still havent made Hugz actually spit any wine out, but i have come close and made her choke and have trouble with what she was eatingIt's another case of internet bonkers world where people can completely misunderstand something even when it is simple!
Threatening someone to be sick...has to be a new one, i wonder if that's possible in a forum.
Maybe i should put a comment under every post i make.
(Don't be offended, unless your from planet bonkers wonkers world)
