If you can't get a simple quote like that right can you ever expect us to take you seriously?
So don't preach to me about the English language. That would be extremely arrogant.
Too bad you guys can't just fight your own fights. You can't admit it when you're wrong eitherrowan wrote: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...
But he's followed it closely on the internet ffs!Stones of granite wrote:Oh yeah, another one of the "I know what you think because of who I think you are" brigade.rowan wrote:Your comments show just how blatantly anti-Russian you are, Stones. The proof's in the pudding. Of course I'm aware of Russia's faults, but living and working in the country certainly provides added insight, as you yourself demonstrated with your final paragraph in that rant. I don't hate Russia so much that I blame them for conflicts the West has blatantly instigated - such as Ukraine and Syria - whereas the propaganda industry which passes for American & British mainstream media does. I've been following it closely on the internet for the past 16 years, and we always got a fair bit of it sent our way in New Zealand when I was growing up as well. I didn't suggest we were free of this propaganda. We simply didn't get as much of it as you evidently did.
Fucking retard.
Yup, he nails it. Yet to see anyone from right or left who disagrees with him.Coco wrote:Saw this and loved it.

....an "out"? Is that your definition of tertiary education?

Does that mean that someone who wishes to convey that they could not possibly care less about something can say "I could care less" in direct contradiction of their feelings; make perfect sense?
"Proof of the pudding" is a shortening of a phrase that actually means something; on it's own it's a meaningless half-sentence. It is about as sensical* as "I could"
Grammar, it's the difference between "helping your uncle jack off a horse", and "helping your Uncle Jack off a horse" It's a bit like personal hygeine - you're free to ignore it, but do'nt complain when people draw their own conclusions.
* I know, but I like that one anyway
What is silly is that you somehow believe that everyone in what you call "the West" uncritically accepts the stuff YOU read on the Internet and believe that WE read.rowan wrote:But he's followed it closely on the internet ffs!
So the American & British mainstream newspapers are credible enough for you to believe all their lies & anti-Russian propaganda when it's the printed version, but suddenly morph into meaningless rags that only a conspiracy theorist would pay attention to when it's the electronic version![]()
These are really silly arguments now...

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.
