Well leaving what has been a subject we could have talked about all year
In truth our trust in government is often miss placed, yes my mob too
Surely others get the feeling they think we are all mugs some times
Yes weaving and ducking Philip s, an avalanche of words/insults/thoughts so very different than the average
We all do it, even at work walk quickly by hoping to avoid a pest
Trouble is the pest in this case refuses to let go, it is my view we should have different opinions on every thing
But surely my past assailant was a gentleman compared to this bloke

Dear Belly,

Thanks for this discussion.

On a public forum like this one, we're going
to get a wide variety of approaches in the
way people react to the opinions of others.
I've found it useful to remember that not
everyone is going to agree with you and some
will even stoop to personal insults instead of
addressing the arguments put forward. These
obviously are people who are not experienced
in debating and of course you can't be
responsible for their insecurity.

You're not
going to change these people - they don't respect
you - so what's the point. Walk away.

TOO bad you did not take your own advise.

Remember when Belly asked for your opinion?
Yeah, me neither!"

What can I say but see you on the next one.

Philip S.,

I was not trying to bring Belly down like you were
with your comments. Hence my remark to you. He
did not ask for your opinion. I'm sure he does not
object to what I said. You have to take responsibility
for your own actions instead of attempting to redirect
them onto others. Bad show.

"so what's the point. Walk away."

Well sometimes its just fun to show that pompous fools are...pompous fools.

There are, as far as I'm concerned three reasons to be and trying to change minds isn't one of them....

1. To put your own views out there and see what holes others can poke in them.

2. See what others think and see if they can offer perspectives that you haven't thought of. That's why I'll always follow up on links that people (well not all people) here offer because you'll never know what other views or facts might come up.

3. Have fun...see above.

Foxy You were the one who stuck their nose in, so a precedent you have set.
