Re:
I was of course speaking to Blaggard, but you're always welcome to shoot the breeze, HQ. And believe it or not, things don't always require any particular ones understanding. I'm always willing to explain it to anyone that cares to investigate, but I'm sure you know how to ensure the way that goes, right?henry quirk wrote:"Don't give me adequate time to properly compose..."
HA!
Can't see how a "rapid onslaught" compels a body to do jack.
Also, can't see how any one owes you time to do jack.
Catch up, keep up, bow out: your choice (not my responsibility).
Re: Equality
yeah I think me and SoB have made peace through the power of nerd. So it's all cool...
Incidentally last week I farted and I kid you not for at least 10 seconds. Now that is some hot air. Being a bloke and being about 5 mentally it made me laugh for ages. My dog just gave me that head half turned look as if I was mental. Which made it worse and I couldn't stop laughing.
I used to have a dog who would bark at his arse if he farted, as if telling it to stop doing that, was really funny.

Re: Equality
I had 2 house dogs once, one was a Coon Hound, and at one time something he ate gave him gas that really reeked. He would pass gas audibly, that really stank, and I would scold him and chase him back to his room. A few days later my wife and I were in the living room with the dogs, she passed gas loudly, and the hound got up and slunk back to his room, presumably to avoid getting scolded for farting.
Re: Equality
Yeah there is wisdom there, the dog always knows it is at the bottom of the ladder and one most often turned to when a scapegoat needs to be realised. 
I think Terry Pratchett summed it up best there's always someone who is below you you can turn to in times of need.
The man turns to the dog, the dog barks at the cat, and the cat chases the rat, the rat well he eats.
I am paraphrasing but it is something like that.

Re: Equality
Yeah, I've had dogs, and noticed something peculiar, there are those that would be alpha, and those that would follow, at least the smart ones, that are capable of understanding. But you know those others that roll around in shit, trying to cover up their stinky scent, I'm sure you're familiar, they also tend to chase their tails, as if they think they know something...
...oh, sorry, is out to get them, when it's only their fear, and that surely their tail must be the culprit, and it usually is! Go ahead, bite your ass boys, bite your ass!

Re: Equality
Dogs chase their tails for fun, humans chase their tales for who knows what reason...
Dogs will bite their ass when they have worms, humans will bite their ass when they have humanity. The dog hence is more requisite in logic....oh, sorry, is out to get them, when it's only their fear, and that surely their tail must be the culprit, and it usually is!

Re: Equality
I'm lysdexic and my grammar is facking appalling at the best of times, so feel free to pick away. I aint not going to take offence at criticism of that which I aint good at. Well I might but it wont be right soon, and it aint all that or should I say I am not good at talking, and my prose aint all that, and it wont be; I am well aware of what I am not too bright on, and what I aint, aint what it should be.SpheresOfBalance wrote: Just picking at your grammar, ever so lightly.And I know mine sucks too!!! Yes it's a low blow, I know.

Re: Equality
I was having ambivalent feelings about this aspect of "equality" or whether or not "nationals" and "internationals" ought to be treated the same when it came to foreign countries, but maybe in some respects, the "internationals" should be allowed different treatment (i.e. the support of the consular offices or embassies of their respective countries.).
