Indeed. Beats Lords and Ladies and high mucky-mucks pronouncing judgment on the forelock-tugging serviles of the UK.

Nice STRAWMAN/RED HERRING! As usual.

Yet another example of the criminal sociopaths who rule us. When are people going to wake up! And the man in charge of INTELLIGENCE DOESN'T KNOW his own wife is drug trafficking?

I don't have a problem with provocation, generally. But I'm wondering why you'd create a religion that doesn't allow for it. What makes you think it doesn't? Hard to provoke if you don't resort to less respectful address. Provocation, by its very nature, isn't particularly respectful. It can be, if...

Wise words, as ever. You should be president. :ddpan: I think Seth is a strategic genius. The trouble is he will never be president. :coffee: The Repubs tried to recruit him as a running mate for Sarah, but, unfortunately, Seth shot the recruiters on his doorstep because they looked so evil. :fall:

Agreed. But I don't like most of the gasholes of my species with whom I have to co-inhabit the planet. Other species, denigrated as "animals" seem much more decent, and "green".
