RE: Get Together

I'd like to give a pat on the back to the OP, Ali, who always seems to be relentlessly cheerful and positive on these forums, despite the insults he sometimes receives, and despite the negative argumentativeness that so many of us indulge in (including me, I might add).

It's always educational (and sometimes humbling) to see the positive side of human nature.

RE: Is the USA the only country to put someone on the moon and reurn them safely to Earth?

However I think it would be fair to say that if any other country had put someone on the Moon, they'd have boasted about it, so I think the answer to your question is:

The U.S.A. may or may not have put someone on the Moon and returned them safely to Earth. No other country has done so.

RE: Is the USA the only country to put someone on the moon and reurn them safely to Earth?

The jury is still out on whether they actually did put someone on the Moon.

RE: I Wish This Happened More In This Sport

I also don't approve of bull-fighting and I find it encouraging to see the bull getting his own back.

RE: DETERMINATION TO WIPE OUT OVER 90% OF THE EARTH'S POPULATION

De-population should be a concern for all.

RE: banana ice cream

I can't stand mochacchino, as I don't like the taste of chocolate combined with coffee.

But you obviously like it, as do many people, as it is a popular drink.

We all have different tastes and it is nice to have a choice.

Years ago, we used to have lime ice cream here, but I haven't seen it for a long time, anyone seen it?

RE: Do women spend too much on clothes, make-up and mobile phones?

There are really three separate issue here.

Mobile phones? Yes i Think we can all agree that "phone snobbery" is largely (but not exclusively) a female trait, and that women do seem too obsessed with keeping up with the Joneses. But perhaps I'm biased here, as I'm not a gadget person, and don't even own a smartphone.

Clothes? Hmmmm they probably spend the right amount. Clothes, after all, are designed to attract men.

Makeup? In my experience, women spend far too little on makeup, many of them none at all.

RE: Are race and gender pandering corrupting the universities and culture in the USA?

I'd be surprised if it is not happening at all in Bulgaria, but certainly Eastern Europe is much less infected with this odious poison than Western Europe....

RE: Compound Words

Because full moon has a gap in it, like Terry-Thomas's teeth.

RE: the offical ''moan'' thread

Haha, quite a clever post, Hairball.

RE: French move closer to revolution

Agreed.

The French have more balls than us Anglos. A sad indictment upon us, really.

RE: French move closer to revolution

There is another path open to France, that in my view, they should take.

Quit the EU and look in a different direction!

RE: Are race and gender pandering corrupting the universities and culture in the USA?

Agreed.

The agenda laid out in the Protocols that are such a "forgery" that everything just happens to fit......

RE: French move closer to revolution

Macron only became president because the French people bought into the media's fear-mongering that victory for his opponent (Jean-Marie Le Pen's daughter, Marine) would mean bubonic plague, total economic collapse, 95% unemployment, and imminent nuclear holocaust (or words to that effect). They could have put Francois Pignon up as a candidate against Le Pen and he would have won.

Trump was right, the media is indeed "the opposition party". And damned effective they are too.

RE: French move closer to revolution

I wouldn't go that far.

Removal from office would suffice.

The "new" Prime Minister of Malaysia is in his 90s, so perhaps there is still hope for Jean-Marie Le Pen? I would like to think so.

RE: Are race and gender pandering corrupting the universities and culture in the USA?

Political correctness has long since corrupted university education in all Western societies.

Let's hope that one day we can be rid of it.

RE: Has anyone had a

We get second chances every day, surely?

RE: the offical ''moan'' thread

I'd like to, but I've never been to get the hang of moaning........

RE: Chronic toilet-paper shortage in Syria

You really are an ideal poster boy for Militant Atheism, aren't you?

RE: banana ice cream

Not a fan of banana ice cream.

Bananas and ice cream are a bit like coffee and chocolate - i.e. two things that are both nice, but when you put them together, they're ghastly.

RE: #41 Dead At 94

Plus one!

RE: the difference a woman can make

I actually remember the first time I saw Barbara Bush on TV, in the late 80s. She was walking beside her husband and I actually thought she was his mother.

RE: Compound Words

Airhead

RE: Toxic People in Your Workplace

There really aren't "toxic" people in a workplace - just people we have a personality clash with.

This is unavoidable.

RE: Whats the Pickle’s Perfect Pickup Line

Sorry mate you have completely lost me.

I see no inherent connection between dill, a herb, and a pickle, a vegetable.

I'm afraid your "joke" fell a little flat, but I appreciate the effort.

RE: Whats the Pickle’s Perfect Pickup Line

I don't get it.

What does dill have to do with pickles?

RE: the difference a woman can make

A very valid and worthwhile, post, IMHO.

RE: French move closer to revolution

Hi dear, am puzzled as to why you think it is appropriate for you as a non-French person to comment on this thread, when you are so emphatic that it is inappropriate for non-Americans to comment on an American thread?

RE: UN migration pact in Marrakesh - global pact

The Globalist forces are certainly working to destroy the West. That is clear now more than ever.

RE: Class system.

Actually you have made a number of digs at New Zealanders, but perhaps you have forgotten. I am sure no malice was intended.
