No it isn't.

So don't preach to me about the English language. That would be extremely arrogant.

I did at least get a laugh from the idea it was the West who instigated conflict in the Ukraine

That's exactly your problem. You believe every unreliable source on the Internet. Why not actually think about the quote for yourself instead.

You were proved wrong, canta-brian. That should be a lesson in humility for you. At least Morepork was big enough to admit his mistake earlier, & I admitted mine when I was duly pulled up over suggesting the election had been 'fixed' in Clinton's favor (no way out of that one :oops: ).

Like Stones' Russophobic little rant, yours was no more than a wayward shoot-the-messenger approach, all because someone does not think as you do. :evil:

Brian's character has been assassinated by "warhammer" posting on an online urban dictionary. A new low.

There is also a lot of arrogance and refusal to concede ones errors. An idiom is a fixed expression. The one I used can be found all over the internet and is widely used in the modern era; thus making it a fixed expression - whether you like it or not.

But all this comes down to a really quite trivial - and wayward - shoot-the-messenger tactic against someone who does not think as you do. Not surprising really, given arrogance and narrow-mindedness go hand-in-hand...

Yeah people are upset about the outcome of this election. OH GEE I FUCKING WONDER WHY. TRULY NEVER A MORE MYSTERIOUS CONUNDRUM.

It must be easy to have a laugh at the "tender little snowflakes" when you're insulated from the so-called real world where there are people being attacked by emboldened bigoted human garbage cuntsacks because they happened to have the temerity to be a kike or a beaner or a nigger or a faggot or a dyke or a gook or a tranny. The nerve of those people, right? How dare they be sexually attracted to people of their own gender or be a different colour or identify as a gender that isn't the one they were physically born with.

Or maybe you could not be a smug asshole giggling from a distance.
Nice words there. What youve just typed is worse than i have seen anywhere. Screaming and stomping feet when things dont go your way, after the whole country has spoken by voting does nothing but prove how "kids these days" cannot cope with being told NO, or having to accept that not everyone feels the same as they do. This is how it works in our country and sometimes you win, sometimes you dont, but you always have to take a look at the bigger picture.

Trump did not win because people are racist bigots. He won because most of America is worse off now than they were in 2008. I understand that every single person has something important to them, however, RIGHT NOW, more people are worried about providing for themselves and their families.

Cant just wave a magic wand or beat an ideal into peoples heads incessantly.. Most people tire of it or even start rejecting it (like religion!!) There is no dialogue when people stomp feet or run away with fingers in their ears when they dont get their way, or have to listen to another side, or concerns that differ from their own. It goes both ways, without dialogue there is no real meaningful communication. THAT is what is necessary, not screaming crying and hiding out from the reality that not everybody thinks like, or agrees with you - no matter now noble or right you think you are. That is life, that is the real world.
It is usually futile to try to talk facts and analysis to people who are enjoying a sense of moral superiority in their ignorance.

Education is not such a bad thing you know. This anti-academic reactionary nonsense is a large part of why the country ended up with the two fuckwit presidential candidates it did.

These kids will inherit the fall out.
Porky.. Education is essential... I agree. However, dialogue is key. Dialogue requires input, ideas, and understanding that goes back and forth. You cannot speak your idea and then go running away or cover your ears when its your turn to listen and try to understand a different perspective than your own. Cramming your own idea of what is right down everyones throat, then being hurt, insulted or shocked somebody disagrees or just plain does not see it in the same light you do is ridiculous. We should take these petulant children serious, or should we be more open to dialogue... Even if it means somebody has to hear an idea that differs from their own?

If you look at the Trump transition team and not understand why there are people that are fucking PISSED, then there's not much that can be said to you. And it's clear that you don't. Not in any meaningful way, anyway.
Of course people are going to be pissed, people were pissed when Obama was elected too. Both got elected fair and square though, and that is how it works. In real life, not everyone gets a trophy. Cant go burn flags, stop traffic on freeways, break car windows, and demand it's your right to do so because you are protesting the result of the election, and expect to be taken seriously.

Oh and btw... Go fuck yourself. Giggling from a distance? I live here buddy and am in the working trenches, literally. I've tried to see everyones point here even if i disagree. My opinions have no more or less merit than anyone elses, and at least I accept and gain perspective from it.

Who is cramming ideas down/up who? How do these kids define a format that is taken seriously in the face of "snowflakes" and other such dismissive categorisation? Why are dumb fucks that love assault rifles afforded a more prominent platform than are actual educated humans?

Think about this for a moment. They are given an out to not have to feel defeat, not to have to hear opinions that differ from their own, or learn how to cope with disappointment.etcetcetc.

Newsflash.. Educated humans have assault weapons, too.

:lol: There are boundaries you know.
Protesting is one thing. Damaging other peoples property, not allowing them to get home or get to work, and affecting somebody elses daily routine is quite another, and nobody has a right to do that.
