To be quite honest, I think all this is quite sad. I remember (along with Graham "Gravy") being very supportive of Jim because we felt he fought his corner well against fairly robust opposition (from fellow Americans, now silent). I don't know what happened in the intervening months, a year possibly? But I feel Jim has taken things too literally sometimes, and along with Jeff Young, feels certain that they know the "real" agenda of all of us. Guess what.
Don't have an agenda. Don't care about politics. Don't care about nationalities. Don't care about race. Don't care about political hues. Don't care for rhetoric. Don't care for dogma. Don't care for bullying either corporate, government or individual. Don't care for 'Z', 'C', 'B' or 'A' list celebrities Hollywood or any other prima donna.
Do care about people. Do care about minorities. Do care about the effects of criminals. Do care about drug lords guns and gangs. Do care about inequalities. Do care about benefit fraudsters. Do care about the downtrodden. Do care about the power of the media. Do care about the proliferation of alcohol and the harm it causes. Do care about the welfare and future of the young (not Jeff)
Jim seems to have substituted GT40's.com for actual life with people and situations he is most opposed to representing the things he most despises (or admires). He says his wife thinks that I am a jerk. Hands up members who shows their wives similar posts?
None of us (even Bob) is his enemy, and I'm sad he gets so worked up about it.
Jim, we love you man, don't give up on us mere mortals too soon. Just chill a little.
Do me a favour. It may have come to your attention on this board, that many members say to another "I like your sense of humour" Humour is certainly how us (British) run our lives and it helps us understand each other. It also helps to banish preconceived notions by taking the rise out of stereotypes.
I may have missed it but have you ever posted a joke? If you have I apologise and would be obliged if you would point me to it. If not, please post a joke you believe is truly amusing.
Finally, WTF is wrong with group masturbation eh???:gossip:
