You certainly have a selective attention. Don't you follow-up on your posts? All you do is post other people words and snipe at America with your sarcastic quips.Originally posted by hobbes+18 April 2003 - 18:24--></span><table border='0' align='center' width='95%' cellpadding='3' cellspacing='1'><tr><td>QUOTE (hobbes @ 18 April 2003 - 18:24)</td></tr><tr><td id='QUOTE'><!--QuoteBegin--DiogenesUK@18 April 2003 - 17:23
Wow,this is interesting.
Maybe we'll see a few more attacks on intellectuals in this place that could've come right from Stalin/Polpot/Pinochet/Saddams' little corners of the world.
People have asked you clarify your comments so we have some basis for discussion. You either don't follow-up your posts or you choose not to. If the latter, which is suspected, it certainly undermines the credibilty of any subsequent posts.[/b][/quote]
That's fair comment Hobbes,I'll have a look at replying later,no problem.
My snipes have been at the U.S. administration,but I can see that maybe hasn't been made clear.I'm well aware that almost 1/2 of the population,maybe more,(but that's another story),didn't vote for this lot,and probably only a small percentage who did elect them actually guessed what was coming.
These boards are just a bit of ever so slightly anarchic fun to me,much like sitting around with folks in the pub putting the world to rights,knowing that we can't do a damn thing about it, & having a laugh,I'm sorry if I cause offence.I may well cause more,who cares? I find many comments here offensive too.....people will get over it,as they say.
I've already tried apologising to folks to whom I've been rude & out of order,by my own admission.Any more than that I can't really do,other than being slightly more careful in future.But I do stand by my comments regarding the hypocrisy of a few on here.They want a (perceived) strong government on the one hand,then bleat sadly when their rights to appropriate copyrighted material are threatened by the very workings of that same administration.
Still,why have only one set of standards when we can have several eh???
Take care
