Shootings in US schools

[Worley]

Depends on how you define men

I don't think anyone cares what you look for in men, Richie. Thats much too personal, please refrain from leading the forum towards your possible coming out party. Besides, Colin is going to get jealous. (I know, cheap shot, I'm sorry.)

Colin, you have the temper control of a 9 year old, and I am sorry, I'll be more gentle.

I'm not worried about being branded anti-American, it's a tag that's handed out by Americans who can't stomach any criticism of the system they're brainwashed into believing is perfect

Then why bother acting offended when branded? What point are you trying to make? Already been admitted we have a gun violence problem. Already proven that is about the only thing you can complain about because almost every other crime that exists is much worse in the UK. What else are you trying to say? No-one is denying anything that is true on the US side over here, as far as I can tell.

I've never made any such suggestion or intimated it, you've chosen to interpret as such

Really?

I'll tell you another bunch who are laughing all the way to the bank - its the recipients of the $3m whose spouses died when the towers fell over on 11/9.

Your reply was:

Yes isn't it odd that a nation that was so grief struck by the events of the world trade centre was too bloody lazy to be bothered to give the dead the respect they deserved by giving it it's full title and within days reduced it to a tacky two syllables.
They want to lecture us on respect for the dead

The first word of your reply was "yes".
yes (yĕs)
adv.=It is so; as you say or ask. Used to express affirmation, agreement, positive confirmation, or consent.
n., pl. yes·es.
-An affirmative or consenting reply.
-An affirmative vote or voter.
tr.v., yessed, yes·sing, yes·es.
-To give an affirmative reply to.
interj.-Used to express great satisfaction, approval

Sounds both suggested and intimated.

Gosh really? thats why I amended my comment. What is a "homie"? As you're American, I suspect its something derogatory - you don't live in Georgia do you?

The Americans are the most polite people on this forum, Collie. Besides, you cant say you amended your comment after you used it two or three times. At that point, you just be a big boy, and say you were wrong.

but it'll help you pay the bills

Money isnt the first thing that pops in my mind after someone dies. Its most likely around the 58+ range.

America is well known for it. The gun and money rule in the USA.

Nice stereotyping there. Who are the people we are "well known" too that are giving your opinions to you?

it only seems to happen in certain cases. How much will the family of the unarmed black man get who was gunned down by the NY police last weekend get? will "the USA" have a collection for him? of course not - a) he's not a child and b) he's black - I doubt it hardly made the news outside New York

Once again, every time someone dies, you go straight to money. What is wrong with you?

I understand ok thank you. Just who the hell do you think you are???? You know nothing of my personal life - please don't preach to me about family values

If you ever had, you would understand how jacked up your point of view is. Only you and Rich are claiming money could make something that horrible alright. You look too old to be this stupid, so I'm gonna hope its stubborness and insensitivity.

 

[Rich]

I don't think anyone cares what you look for in men, Richie. .

How do you know?

Thats much too personal, please refrain from leading the forum towards your possible coming out party.

I see, so now you're imposing southern bible bashers morals on us

Besides, Colin is going to get jealous. (I know, cheap shot, I'm sorry.)

Colin has a wife, what are you suggesting?

Then why bother acting offended when branded?

Because it's been used so often by Americans here it's like a well worn sock, try something new when you've run out of arguments

What point are you trying to make? Already been admitted we have a gun violence problem.

Then why not start to tackle the problem?

The first word of your reply was "yes".
yes (yĕs)

So what's your problem understanding what I said in the entire statement?
Try not to just pick one word out of context.

 

[Rich]

Only you and Rich are claiming money could make something that horrible alright.

Point out where I said that!

 

[Rich]

The Americans are the most polite people on this forum,

 

[jsanders]

Well I guess it must be time for another of my favorite idioms.

Aren't we the black pot?

 

[Worley]

Read through, seriously. Look at the American posting compaired to almost everyone else. Bod is one of the most polite people on the forum. JSanders likes irritating you as much as anyone, but pretty much always in a polite way. Brian and Matt are the nicest you guys have to offer. They are almost always polite, but any good they do is far offset by Colin and you. We have our moments, Rich, but all in all, it is clear you two set the par in rudeness.

 

[Worley]

Well I guess it must be time for another of my favorite idioms.

Aren't we the black pot?

I am sick of us being the pot, can we switch it up this time please?

 

[jsanders]

I am sick of us being the pot, can we switch it up this time please?

I meant he was the pot calling the kettle black. i guess I must be showing my age again.

 

[Adeptus]

Depends on how you define men

And, as we have seen, how you define pants

 

[Worley]

I meant he was the pot calling the kettle black. i guess I must be showing my age again.

I know, and I want to be the kettle this time! My screw up there, lol, I should have been more clear.

 

[Worley]

How do you know?

Quite true....I retract my statement. I now have a much more profound understanding of you.

I see, so now you're imposing southern bible bashers morals on us

Once again, I apologise, feel free to come out on the forums, if that is what your getting at...

Colin has a wife, what are you suggesting?

\
That you two no longer be allowed to be "fishing buddies".

Because it's been used so often by Americans here it's like a well worn sock, try something new when you've run out of arguments.

I don't know about you, but from my understanding of socks, its hard to wear one out without wearing it to start with. Can't wear it if it doesn't fit, Richie. Take it off.

Then why not start to tackle the problem?.

I have asked you more than once how you would go about it. In fact, this is the fifth time. I asked what you suggest we do, considering how counterproductive your gun bans are? Great job with the bans, by the way, now only the "druggy ethnic minority" (or whatever you said) have guns. Better call your "bobbies", and tell them to bring their pressurized air cans.

So what's your problem understanding what I said in the entire statement? Try not to just pick one word out of context.

Rich, what was the word "yes" referring too in your statement. It has no place in your statement other than in the context it was percieved. Colin didn't ask a question....

 

[Rich]

American >>>understanding>>> oxymoron

Once again, I apologise, feel free to come out on the forums, if that is what your getting at...
.

I wouldn't need to ask for your approval if I did

That you two no longer be allowed to be "fishing buddies".

Fishing is boring, I don't go anyway, so it's pointless you putting in a request to the committee

I told you before that you need to read more posts here, we've made numerous suggestion over the years, all dismissed by gun loving Americans.
I see you're now trying to explain the need for guns in American cities by suggesting they're full of grizzlies, mad, quite mad.

Rich, what was the word "yes" referring too in your statement. It has no place in your statement other than in the context it was percieved. Colin didn't ask a question....

That's another thing with Americans, if they don't understand that other cultures use certain words/phrases in a different manner to them they look up and take the word in it's literal sense

 

[Rich]

Only you and Rich are claiming money could make something that horrible alright.

Point out where I said that!

I note for the record that this remains unanswered

American >>>understanding>>> oxymoron

Rich>>>British>>>Unable to understand>>>moron

Touchy subject? If I were you I would either let this go or come out. But I am me, and not in the confused state you are in. So far, I am 100% happy with my wife, and don't see an identity crises in the future. I can't believe your defending your right to come out on the forum without my approval. You are like a 5 year old who says red every time someone says green. I make a cute little joke, and now you are trying to argue about something that has nothing to do with the thread.

Fishing is boring, I don't go anyway, so it's pointless you putting in a request to the committee

I didn't say you guys were actually fishing.

I told you before that you need to read more posts here, we've made numerous suggestion over the years, all dismissed by gun loving Americans. I see you're now trying to explain the need for guns in American cities by suggesting they're full of grizzlies, mad, quite mad.

Just saying, maybe your bobbies are so civilized, they need no guns, only air cans. No grizzlies in the city, except in the zoo, sunshine.
How would you suggest I look that up on the search? All I keep getting is your anti religious and anti-US comments. Besides, I am not a gun loving American, so try me out. I seriously think your lying. I can't find a single rational or serious solution offered by you. I ask, for the seventh time...what would you do? I note for the record that this remains unanswered.

That's another thing with Americans, if they don't understand that other cultures use certain words/phrases in a different manner to them they look up and take the word in it's literal sense

Rich, you are struggling so bad on this one, its pathetic. Yes means yes. Once again, I note for the record that this remains unanswered...what was your "yes" referring too?
yes=
• exclamation 1 used to give an affirmative response. 2 responding to someone addressing one or attracting one’s attention. 3 questioning a remark. 4 expressing delight.
• noun (pl. yeses or yesses) an affirmative answer, decision, or vote.
— ORIGIN Old English. http://www.askoxford.com/concise_oed/yes?view=uk

You suggested and "intimated" it. Remember, mister short term memory?

Who could think that money could make someone who has lost a loved one "laugh all the way to the bank"? Colin and you, it seems. Only Colin has shown some remorse in his ill-executed attempt at changing "laughing all the way to the bank" into "a wry smile". That's the closest I have ever seen either of you come to acting like a big boy and admitting you were wrong about something. You have a 25 year old kid lecturing you...and almost everyone on in the non-access forums have chastised you at least once for the way you act, except Colin, who is wrapped around your finger worse than Blair is wrapped around Bush's...almost. At some point, you have to take a step back, and say..."Is it me? Am I, Rich, the one who has been acting like an adolescent this entire time?" Let me know when your ready to hear the answer to that. Seek and ye shall find, even in a2k and above.

We fully understand morons, America's full of 'em

I'm not confused about anything

I make a cute little joke,

No, you were taking the p... out of those who might be gay, for whatever reason, I suspect because it's frowned on by American society

and now you are trying to argue about something that has nothing to do with the thread.

I didn't introduce the subject, you did

Just saying, maybe your bobbies are so civilized, they need no guns

For the most part that's correct, and the way we want to keep it

Rich, you are struggling so bad on this one, its pathetic. Yes means yes. Once again, I note for the record that this remains unanswered...what was your "yes" referring too?

Yes only means yes in response to a direct question where the answer is affirmative, again you've taken it out of context, it was just a line continuum not necessarily meaning that I agreed or disagreed with the previous remark

 

[Worley]

We fully understand morons, America's full of 'em

Yes, we call them British-Americans.

I'm not confused about anything

Uh huh. Quit whining.

No, you were taking the p... out of those who might be gay, for whatever reason, I suspect because it's frowned on by American society.

Not frowned on by me, do what you need to do to be happy, as long as its consensual and legal. I support you, Rich.

I didn't introduce the subject, you did.

So now every joke made becomes an introduced subject?

For the most part that's correct, and the way we want to keep it

Then why is your crime rate so high? Not enough hair spray cans to go around?

Yes only means yes in response to a direct question where the answer is affirmative, again you've taken it out of context, it was just a line continuum not necessarily meaning that I agreed or disagreed with the previous remark

You keep stretching, your gonna pull something, lol. Drinking yet? Your having a bad day. I might leave you alone for a little while, because I doubt it is as fun for you as it is for me. I can't wait until you start answering my questions and I can trick you into having a serious discussion.

 

[Rich]

At some point, you have to take a step back, and say..."Is it me? Am I, Rich, the one who has been acting like an adolescent this entire time?" Let me know when your ready to hear the answer to that. Seek and ye shall find, even in a2k and above.

You're still clutching at straws here Wooley here's what I said

isn't it odd that a nation that was so grief struck by the events of the world trade centre was too bloody lazy to be bothered to give the dead the respect they deserved by giving it it's full title and within days reduced it to a tacky two syllables.
They want to lecture us on respect for the dead

come back and lecture me when you've looked up too bloody lazy to give the dead the respect they deserve

 

[Rich]

Yes, we call them British-Americans.

.

That's because few in your country want to be know as just American, too ashamed I suppose

Uh huh. Quit whining.

You've misspelt winning

Not frowned on by me, do what you need to do to be happy, as long as its consensual and legal. I support you, Rich.

I don't need your support for anything I do or say, but I'd decline the offer anyway since you being what you are it would almost certainly come with strings attatched

So now every joke made becomes an introduced subject?

Sayeth the guy who wants to argue semantics

Then why is your crime rate so high? Not enough hair spray cans to go around?
.

As was pointed out to you by a fellow American, far lower than yours, as are gun deaths here
