Dear Paul,

Thank You for your advice. I have to admit that I do
tend to ignore posts that don't
contribute anything productive to a discussion.
Responding to rants not only lowers the bar, it also
feeds and encourages troll-like behaviour.

Anyway,
On a happier note ...
I was going to watch QandA last night and instead they had
the Invictus Games. What an inspiring program that turned
out to be. It totally lifted my spirit.
What an awesome group of people they were. I believe that
the games will be coming to Australia in 2018. Something to
watch out for.

Foxy,

Your claim was bogus, no 'progressive' brain had been referred to. That was your invention, as demonstrated, to suit your prejudice.

If you have proof regarding your claim regarding the 'Progressive' mind, put it up, but don't be putting your own words into the mouths of others.

leoj,

I have provided a variety of links if they do not satisfy
you or you have problems understanding the points being
made that is something over which I have no control.

However, there is plenty of material on the web that discusses
studies done on the brain differences between "Liberals"
(Americans use this term to mean "Progressives") and
"Conservatives". If you doubt the links I have cited you can
Google this information for yourself. I am not in the habit
of providing "bogus" information and your finding it to be
"bogus" is your problem not mine.

Hi Foxy, the Invictus Games is certainly a worthy pursuit. Although I detest the circumstances that caused the participants injuries in the first place, it is good that they are able to compete and be recognized in that way. A well done to Harry Windsor.

Could you please say you were wrong, so leoj can stop having one of his tizzy fits. Otherwise nursy will up his medication again, and he wont be allowed to play Parcheesi tonight. Playing Parcheesi on a Tuesday night with the other inmates at the home is the highlight of Leo's week.

//Your claim was bogus, no 'progressive' brain had been referred to.//

Really? You didn't know that Americans use 'progressive' and 'liberal' synonymously? Maybe time to step outside your bubble for some fresh air, Joel. In most parts of the world the liberals are on the left; we do it differently because we're upside down and thus do things backwards: Christmas in summer, clockwise cyclones and Liberals on the right.

//Hi Foxy, the Invictus Games is certainly a worthy pursuit. Although I detest the circumstances that caused the participants injuries in the first place, it is good that they are able to compete and be recognized in that way. A well done to Harry Windsor.//

Oh for God's sake, can nobody discuss the Invictus Games without mentioning that useless inbred ginger twat? I saw a report last night - a brief mention of one Australian athlete, and then the rest of the report was devoted to what Harry and his girlfriend have been up to. Because apparently all those inspiring stories and amazing physical feats just aren't as interesting or newsworthy as Harry and whats-her-face.

Sometimes I hate the modern world.

Dear Paul,

I also hate the reasons behind the injuries that
these men and women now have to live with for the rest
of their lives. But the Invictus Games at least gives
them a goal to strive towards.

I'm not really interested in any further discussions
with leoj.
I work part-time as a volunteer - with dementia patients
at my mum's nursing home. I don't need any more work of this
kind.
