Haha, wow. This is a train wreck. You are perhaps the worst basket case I've encountered here, and that is saying a lot! The terminology you use... the strawmen you assumble, the opposite-speak you use to shield yourself from reality. There's really no reasoning here!
Well maybe there is a small chance. Take a deep breath and search this thread. It's actually trending toward reason. Even some of your fellow Brits are calling for cooler heads to prevail. There are so many nasty people in the world, it makes this guy in Texas seem completely trivial.
*rubs his forehead* Right! Okay, I see how 'masterfully' you avoid both the issue in discussion, and the one I raised in my comment, by simply not addressing it, and calling me names and such, beseeching me to turn away from my accusations and statements; to follow 'my fellow Brits' - the heard, basically - and come to a consensus. Ugh... What is the point, really? If YOU took a second to accost at least ONE of my arguments, no matter how juvenile, or 'basket-case' you find them to be, I would respect that; however, you do not. You use that old cop-out, appologetic argument: 'Well, there are worse things in this world, why pay attention to the "trivial" and small issues'. Pitiful, just pitiful. I refuse to continue, since it would be meaningless. Although, there's still one thing that completely pisses me off, and it's that every time someone attacks Texas, and actually challenges its policies, or anything for that matter, appologatics, like yourself, sping-up from out of nowhere, trying to hide the issue, change it, direct it towards something else and, in my opinion, make complete idiots out of themselves. To that I say - Fine! I care not. As long as it stays far away from me, and Britain does not adopt anything Texan, be it political, social or whatever.
P.S. Oh, and to everyone who idiotically tries to, somehow, undermine Britain, compare Britain to Texas for the sake of building-up the gist of their silly, little arguments; or indeed just label me British, in an offensive manner - I am not. I live here, but I am not originally British. Nor have I lived in Britain long enough to say that I've adopted anything concerning their culture, mannerisms etc. aside from the language. So, to hell with your 'strawmen assUmblance' (poetic irony?), or 'opposite-speak, trying to hide reality' bullshit (whatever the fuck that's supposed to even mean).
