Abandon hope all ye who enter his head.
I have a Voice as well. It makes me delete things before I post them. If it wasn't for my Voice, I'd have been banned from SDF long ago.
SDF needs more active members like you, who pause to review their post before they then press 'send'.......:)
Instead of the ones who type it out, read it, know that it's way over the top and mean before thinking "ahh, [[bleep) it." At that point, they add "ahh, [[bleep) it" to the over the top and mean post and press "send".
Hey jerry i'm glad we don't do that over here...we don't make enough sense to ever be mean.
From where I'm sitting, all the "ahh, [[bleep) it" type posts do seem to originate from the US....
Hey west i think you just fired the shot heard round the world.
Well, most of the SDF members are in US, so it stands to reason that most of the good 'uns, and most of the bad 'uns, will hail from the same place.;)
Oh really? Well, [[bleep) you!
J/K...
I rest my case.
Well, whenever you point one finger a t someone else, there are four fingers pointing back at you...
Okay, I will be honest and admit that civil discourse is lost in our fine country. People seem to believe that their opinions are the only ones that reasonable people should have. All other opinions are not only wrong, but those holding them have no right to make their opinions known. It's sad to consider the level of vitriol that is commonly displayed.
Oh, I was just speaking dryly, in response to arr&bee's comment "I'm glad we don't do that over here". He must surely have said it in an ironic sense.
I'm trying to read the last sentence in your post above, but it's hard to concentrate with all the din that's coming from the Supremes "Petition" thread! 'Vitriol' and 'displayed' are two key words.
I'm tempted to go over there and join in the mayhem.
Somebody really should call the police.
A neighbour, who did not wish to be named, said "You hear about it happening to other people, but never think it will ever happen to you. It must be something they posted on that Bookface, to encourage such goings on. This is usually such a quiet place...."
It never ceases to amaze me when people suggest to reporters that "this sort of thing never happens around here". Of course it does. It happens everywhere. You are just able to ignore it until the news showed up and proved you to be a liar on live television.
I couldn't resist the quote, because it does keep coming up, doesn't it?! Although I perhaps wouldn't say they were lying, but just being in denial - although, I suppose, actually lying to themselves, if that's what you meant...
Another thing that is starting to irritate me is when spokespeople from emergency and rescue services are asked, after a major incident, to make a comment for a very brief slot on TV.
The cameras are on them and then they invariably begin on the lines of "Before I begin, I would just like to say that my heart goes out to the family of the victims, and the thoughts and prayers of myself and my colleagues are with them at this most difficult time etc etc...". By the time they've said that, half their time slot has gone, with them just wanting to show how caring and compassionate they are as individuals - but their job requires them to rescue people, say little, and remain clear-headed, focused and dispassionate.
I borrowed them, friend. I wore them to my vasectomy last week. As my Dad always told me, "Son, if you wants to be impotent, you gots to look impotent".
I'll get them back to you soon.
They'll be on eBay within the hour, 'as worn by a media star'....
Yeah, we'll put Justin Bieber's photo up wiyh the auction. So long as we don't say they were worn by that media star, we should be okay, right?
Well, for one or two reasons, probably not OK for long [[LOL) but it's a interesting idea all the same.
And anyway....Justin Bieber may have a much greater public awareness but, in your own unique way, you are a media star, too.....
Yah, I'm a legend in my own mind after I get some of that wonderful elixur...
Well, maybe 'legend' as a description would be a little over the top, but you do already have a media identity, if someone knows where they can find you....
Hey jerry,don't forget to drive up in a 1972 el dorodo[limegreen]playa.
I was thinking about a Pacer. Nothing says "class" like a car that is wider than it is long...
Haaaaaaaaaaaa,pacer man oh man you a real playa,pick me up on the way and we'll go down to the[kit kat club]waaaaayyyy down in da hood.
...while another vehicle slowly precedes you both, with lights flashing the sign "Caution, Wide Load".....
What you describe as a "vehicle" happens to be the headliner tonight at the Kit Kat Club...
Haaaaaaaaaaa,you know that's right they got a go-go girl named littlebits down there[she's down to 400lbs]she shakes the place up,comeon west we got room for ya,littlebits likes the british gentlemen.
I have the mental image of a mountain of profiteroles, with a voice like a police car passing at speed, siren blaring.
I'll act like a gentleman, as long as Littlebits acts like a lady....:rolleyes:
That's not going to happen. Littlebits has chunks of ladies in her stool. She actually went to England once so that they could observe her "Londonderry Air". When asked why she went there instead of France, she cited the favorable exchange rate with England. She said she wanted to be the "pounds for pounds" champion of strippers...
You don't get many of Littlebits to the pound.....
Let's just say that she weighs 400 pounds and she'll throw that weight around if her tips don't total at least that much. And if you thought that "Gorgo" was bad to the London metro, you really don't want to make Littlebits perk up.
I may need to have her detained at Heathrow.
I'm thinking they have a better chance of holding her if you can trick her into going to the London Zoo.
You mean, with the promise of meeting some related species - ?
Nah, just tell her that there's an all-that-you-can-eat buffet in the elephant cage.
Littlebits would first need to negotiate the turnstile. That should be a crowd puller in itself.
Hmmm... Perhaps the good people from Sea World can be helpful. They have experience with handling Killer Whales and that might come in handy should Littlebits find out that London pubs might be more likely to serve fish and chips than fatback and cornbread.
Well, the London Zoo does have a sizeable aquarium, so that might fit the bill.
Arr&bee would make a fine barker for the event. I can hear it now....
"Step up, step up for this truly wonderful, once in a lifetime event. London Zoo in the nineteenth century proudly presented Jumbo, the largest elephant ever seen, and world famous for giving rides to visitors. Now, in the twenty-first century, the London Zoo equally proudly brings to you Ms Littlebits, who is more than pleased to give rides to visitors. Coach parties welcome! Come and witness her feeding time, and learn something of a wonderful elixur which gives Ms Littlebits all the vim and vigour she needs..."
