I was wondering when the other shoe would drop.

With Boaz, it never matters where or how the story starts. As sure as night follows day we will at some point be treated to a sermon of saccharine sanctimonious twaddle, or a rabble-rousing rant inciting fear of the encroaching Islamic hordes.

This is classic Boaz.

>>There is much I cannot speak of, but I assure you, the ears would tingle to hear<<

>>My intel background mate, was in a particular country town, and observed a high profile terrorism suspect with his family (in obvious muslim dress)<<

>>BIOLOGICAL WEAPONS... I must be circumspect here...<<

There's always a point to the story, this one's just another installment in the whack-a-mozzie saga.

Be afraid, is the message.

Always assuming you believe a word he writes.

Gibo: << Have you forgotten what writing is all about?
Its all about stories >>

"Stories" are one kind of writing, and while I'm not surprised that gullible religious nutters like to tell stories of varying veracity, they aren't really very helpful when trying to discuss reality.

Foxy: << I didn't read anything more into either thread >>

Unfortunately, that's what Boazy's classic "bait and switch" technique relies upon. Suck people in with some self-indulgent pap and then back to promulgating hatred.

Boazy: << Now, having provided a bit of a context, there are 2 more tidbits of interesting information (again..might only be interesting to some, not all..conceded.) VIGILANCE and TERRORISM. >>

As usual, Pericles is on to him.

Pericles: << There's always a point to the story, this one's just another installment in the whack-a-mozzie saga.

Not only narcissistic, but hateful as usual - only this time disguised as sentimental patriotism. What's that saying about scoundrels and patriotism?

"I was wondering when the other shoe would drop."
That's too funny, I was wondering the same thing.

I agree with Romany et al, and I was going to suggest the same as Vanilla- for BD to start a blog.

If we all started to write our diaries on OLO it would become a blog place than an opinion forum.

PS

I wonder why Graham Young approved of this thread.
Not all threads get approval and this one should have been one that should have been denied for publishing because it is clearly not an opinion piece.

Actually, I learned something new with Boaz's thread. I did not know that the hand over medals whilst the wreath being placed meant humility. Thank you for that little nugget of information Boaz.

Now, some advice for those who are debating with themselves about contributing to OLO. Please do not let some of these comments put you off. The lesson to learn here is " If you can dish it out, you must be able to take it" All is fair in the world of OLO.

Well.... thanx for all the criticism.. I'll reflect on it.

Some of it was quite predictable. Pericles, CJ.. (might also be called 'tweedle dee and tweedle dum')

Its all good. But I find it curious that Pericles and as far as I can see CJ.. have nothing to offer much but criticism... how many topics or threads have they begun.... how many of Pericles posts begin with "Boaz says"..and then a 'hateful rant' of 'whack-a-boaz' :)

At least CJ does have some positive offerings at times.
Poor Perilous though.. his 10% positive/helpul contributions are sadly negated by his 'monomania' over my 'passion' .. but I did experience an education with that word 'monomania'..and the definition says there is a fine line between monomania and passion. I prefer to claim 'passion' for my side.

One reason for mentioning the achievements of my peers, is that we all underwent the same intelligence tests. Who knows.. might add a bit to my sagging credibility 0_^

Pericles and CJ.. (and the various sidekicks) you all seem to have missed one bit that I really thought would trigger some kind of interest. Perhaps I didn't express it clearly enough.

"KNOWLEDGE"... SEMINAR... so.. let me ask it again. Has anyone encountered this 'seminar' where after a 2 week 2 hours per session every few days leads to the physical act of pressing your tongue on the roof of your mouth, with a goal of establishing instant relaxation and tranquilty? Its not religious.. never heard of it before.. but found it interesting. (it is free, no book, no cost, no follow up)
