You don't need to win every discussion sometimes ....
Why must it be won? Are conversations supposed to have winners & losers?
....mutual respect is enough.
It should be a given.

She's a fascist - a member of what was the british nazi party that's why many of her posts are racist I disagree with most of what she says for that reason alone.
. Now that my little Phesant bothering, kilt flinger Is because we do share a tad of respect and liking for each other amidst the badinage.
With others, I just don't like them. :sneaky: :yh_rotfl

And that brings us back to my first post in this thread. If I want to post a non sequitur or even a mildly dissenting opinion that might not be worded as intelligently as some may like, I don't need to be insulted and told to leave the thread until I can come up with a better post. Smug, condescending git, if I may use that term.

One thing to remember about veterans.
Most, if not all vets who were really in the ****, don't talk much about it.
And when they do, it is usually to others that they know were also in the ****.

No one said anything about winning arguments, it's more about remaining mentally focused without permitting emotion to over take a conversation. The exercise is worth it.

So many of the females ate it up too, as the little bitties he treated them like, referring to them all by "darlin'". Darlin' this and darlin' that. So phucking funny to watch this dance going on.

Thinking about it such a thread might be a bad idea. The british posters don't really care what foreigners think (NB: to some of the posters america is a foreign country with some similarities to the UK but in others might as well be another planet) and we are i=used to the custom and practice of taking the piss out of each other, words like useless wanker, tosspot, numpty, posh git, fascist bastard etc etc are in common parlance and people don;t really take it personally - it's an anonymous forum don't you know.
On the other hand the temptation to wind up someone who has posted about how ioffended they are by something you have said either disagreeing with them or simply challenging an opinion they hold dear would be - well tempting.

Well you must be doing something offensive if you're being left so often. It sucks, for example, to be left while getting head...I mean ahead. Either or, doesn't matter.
