J’accuse!!

I accuse you of being a doubly corrupt right-wing thought criminal!!

There, that should  save you from the FBI.

one thought criminal corrupts another?

Would it be anyone else?

I am so ashamed of debating with someone who does not think just like me.

Drac,

I’ve written to the FBI about this.

We will be looking forward soon to see you appearing in a federal court clapped in irons, staring out at the judge looking for mercy but seeing none, facing a lifetime in a trump jail i.e. sewing mailbags for his rich mates.    

*winks

tinks, I do think it’s about time this thread was declared dead…

really

btw I hope you’re well; long time since we chatted, sweetie.

yes, I agree with drac here. I heard of one case where a woman in a violent relationship was turned away from a Women’s Refuge in Edinburgh because her toddler was male. That is only hearsay, but the person who told me was from Edinburgh and reliable. Having said that, feminist anti-rape centres and refuges have played an invaluable role in…[Read more]

No, Drac. If you were malicious and right-wing (like the man you illegally voted for in the US elelction), then you would be pretty evil.

But you ain’t malicious (I don’t think) and while you’re right-wing you are ready for a serious discussion, which counts for a lot in my book.

Interesting point, Martin (I was about to say obergruppenfuhrer, but thought you may not appreciate the quip).

It’s true, Trump is a cheap huckster who likes to shoot his mouth off – some Americans are like that – and in office he’s going to be in a different situation. The US has institutions in place to put a barrier to any would-be tinpot…[Read more]

Charles and Tracy,

this is a posting board. People post their message, opinion, it can be boring, or interesting, or angry – whatever people feel. Don’t expect an immediate reply – people pop in and out during the day.

The chat rooms are where you chat. Click on chat rooms above, there are three – f1, f2, f3. Experiemtn with them tos ee whihc…[Read more]

That’s a hut.

I’m talking about a bomb shelter

I mean a nuclear bomb shelter, with facilities for surivival over a lengthy epriod of time until the radioactive fallout dissipates.

They built a lot of them in America in the early 60s, complete with pictures of cows in green fields on the walls so that you could psych yourself into thinking you…[Read more]

That must be a very comfortable feeling, Reason. I hope you’re right.

One thing that seems likely is that a Trump victory is good news for a Brexit Britain. From being the back of the queue when it comes to a trade deal, the UK is likely to leap to the front of the queue. The tensions a brexit UK would have had with the US could well be replaced…[Read more]

Ms K, I absolutely agree.

What with Trump’s victory, some quite vile reactions to my dad’s death in the room (mainly in pms, but on the boards too) I’m wondering whether jc is part and parcel of a general trend at the moment.

You and I have engaged in some of the horseplay here, and can hardly be called softies when it comes to these…[Read more]

This is too big for my little mind to take in.

The causes are clear enough – the anger caused by the financial crisis, blamed on an educated and complacently arrogant liberal élite. The fact that it’s expressed in such an ugly and dangerous xenophobia has its roots, too – look at the support for George Wallace and the reaction among many…[Read more]

But the consequences…[Read more]

well, thee goes a challenge to the six-volume Decline and Fall of the Roman Empire.

Might even be some truth in there.

Drac,

I’ll think abut these and give my opinion in response to your srguments.

I like the fact that you do have an opinion, and that you think about it, rather than just copy from another site and try to appear ever so clever.

many thanks for the stats, angle.

Pretty shocking, but I had heard some of them already.
