Another philantropist...
 

... with not the slightest sense of realism.

But before I'll continue, a personal word:
Neal, I hate your latest forum software!!! It gave me problems from day one on. :damn: :arrgh!:
Occasionally it resets back all by itself, and deletes all what has been written in a topic box. IE6, medium settings, cookies for this site enabled. No other forum ever has done this to me, without me pressing the wrong button.

:roll:

:88)

:)

:D

:lol:

People must love it. It keeps my essays short.

However, I do not repeat my remarks that the forum software just has obliterated again, I just point you guys at this masterpiece of megalomania, lack of realism, childish enthusiasm without solid base, and ignoring every aspect of reality that spoils the image of a perfect fairy tale world.

When hearing first of him after Blair went out of office and Brown took over, I just thought "Oh Gott, was für ein Milchbubi." Today, I have even harsher labels on my mind.

Eventually the EU will be mad enough to try to stem this megalomania in an act of reality-refusing enthusiasm - and strangling itself in the effort, becoming even more easy prey for less philantropic powers.

Come on mate, tell us what you really think? :D

The forum software is fine. It just took a little adjusting to after having used the old forum software for so long. :up:

Regarding David Milliband, some times you could be mistaken for him still being in school because he looks so young. When watching him in PMQ's I often joke that he is sitting there studying for his A level exams. :know:

When I think of some of the real statesmen the UK has had in Governmental posts over the years, and then see David Milliband and crew trying to do their jobs, him in particular looking (and talking) like some schoolboy on the the debating team, it makes me want to cringe. I wouldn't trust him to go and buy me an ice cream, let alone decide any major policy, he's a complete moron. Milliband is just another one of the 'New Labour cronies', pretty much all of whom got the jobs through being mates with Tony Blair or being flexible enough to do exactly what he wanted, rather than for any innate ability in politics. And Blair is so crooked he could hide behind a spiral staircase, which gives you some idea of Gordon Brown's competence in matters if he'd hitch his wagon to that particular star.

The women in the Labour cabinet are even worse; without exception, they were picked for the 'PC factor' and not on merit, which has had a negative effect and done the complete opposite to what the PC brigade were trying to force on us all, simply making women look incompetent, because they forced some incompetent women into roles they clearly could not handle. They've done more to derail the women's equality movement than anything in the past 100 years.

:D Chock

I heard on the radio last night the biggest threat to the UK is not yobs on the street it is...................

Stand by for a shock.

Ready.

OK.

It is the Middle Class at home drinking.

FECK :o

The radio station tried to get a comment or statement from the Government spokesperson not a dicky bird.

Anyone remembering this Stallone movie where he is a cop getting frozen, and when Wesley snipes in the future starts to make mockery of the peaceful way they live in and starts to get his show running, they get Rambo-boy out of the ice? Demolition Man, could it be? They had some idiotic professor there, who had redesigned society until they had baby-minds, babbled soft words like candy floss, and everything was about health, harmony, and not being able to imagine what aggression means. Nevertheless that professor still was a tyrant, manipulator and criminal.

This story now, and the EU in general, reminds me of that movie quite often.

We have new software?

Whats new?

Uhh - when is this guy going to realize that the areas he wants to include have no wants or desires for European values? The EU in its current state is already teetering on the brink. Such diversity only works in the US, since most of the US's citizens chose to come to the country....

Sounds like a recipe for one massive melting pot to me! :D Titanic anyone?

-S

Eh?

Im quite sure most where born there.

Well, current generations yes, but that is not what you are dealing with for the countries that are in question over there. You have populations that have their own values and grew up with their own values over there. Here, our generations grew up with our values.

That is the difference I am talking about.

-S

By "values" you mean "culture" right?

Values includes the whole gamit, from traditions to culture, to a similar way of thinking of laws, etc. The coutries he proposes to add have no such similar ideas, and the only reason he wants to add them is to bring European laws and traditions under that blanket so that the EU can begin to contro.... oops, I mean influen... oops, I mean stabilize these other countries.

I feel for you guys if that happens. He wants to create chaos where there is none now. Nice.

Am I elaborating enough for you now? Or should we go on? :D Basically, I think it is a very bad idea for you guys, so I hope you personally have some say in that matter.

These should be teached in every school in Europe.

Yeah? What's he going on about? This is the best forum software on the market. :p And no one else has any problems with it....

I wouldn't say that. Formatting doesn't work right for copy paste/type actions. It must be manually formatted after the fact.

The best way to describe it - WYSIWYG is not working properly.

What it does do - it works. Something to be said for that at least.

-S

Yep, it should.

But then - teaching battles in schools? How PC. :oops: We better focus on the treaty of Münster, and deal with wars and battles and their causes and meanings as if they never had happened - together with the other inconveniences that spoil or view of history having been a giant ring-a-ring-o™ roses.
