I prefer my english to remain unjudged, if you don't mind terribly. It wont stop me from trying to meet you though, so I guess it's not really up to me.

There's always that. I guess I could leave the grammarians and vocabularians at home. The Lilliputians, however, are insisting on coming. Something to do with wanting to meet a delegation from Blefescu before they send their peasantry against one another in a war designed to lighten their respective populations.

Do you think we could get away with murder?

You mean, because I don't respond to a remark addressed to Xandax? Yeah, quite a power, that. I think you'll find it extends even further, and that if you quote remarks attributed to Freud, Clinton, and PDQ Bach, I also won't respond.

As long as I don't have to play the Gulliver part I have no objections. Let UN sort it out, it will be good practice for them.

I'm afraid they'd make a hash of a peacekeeping force in either land. But yes, they do need the practice--nearly as much as they need commitment from the governments that say they support the UN.

He may of quoted Xandax but, couldn't you have answered it just as easily?

Why? If Rav or you, or anybody else, wants to question something Xandax wrote, the person to respond is--wait for it--Xandax. And the best way to get an answer would be through PMs, unless of course the question wasn't really meant for Xandax at all, but only as a public gesture while addressing the board.

Personally, I see this as a spam thread. I'm spamming. It's been a long, tough week of work, and I'm enjoying myself. Did you take a vacation yet, this year? If so, where did you go?

But it's not there, remember?
That or it deserves to be treated as the piece of dirt it truly is.

You mean a few soldiers and a "go ahead"? I finished reading "Shaking hands with the devil" a year ago (I know, I don't read much). Really depressing read, even for people who didn't have very much faith in the world to begin with.

Nice coincidental timing.

I went to Costa Rica, relaxed, I went to Ireland, relaxed, imbibed in small quantities, the beach, was used as a trampoline and jungle gym by two six year olds, a four year old, and a three year old.

Books like that only reinforce reality, I agree. It's a sad, bad world all too often, and I think there's much to the quote that it's the little evils we allow that permit the big evils to happen. Case in point: we have a president who's allowed to run roughshod over both national and international law, but many people tie their political hopes to him, and others lack the will to challenge him outright.

I think you'll find (if you were my boss, which you ain't) that a look at my breaks during a day time to where I spam. It's healthy, and vitamin-enriched.

Whoa. How long did you spend in Costa Rica, Phreddie? I've never been there. Heard both good and bad of it, the latter being that it's essentially a US tourist trap. And how long did you spend in Ireland? More to the point, who's financing this adventures? I'd like to get their number.

[Phreddie]

I was in Costa Rica for a week, and I slept for most of it. It was my idela place for a vacation, but the beaches were beautiful, and perfect for early morning walks. It was just too hot or my tastes. If you want to spring the trap, go grab your shorts, Hawaiian print shirts, and your Nikon.

Ireland was a ten day adventure, with two days in London as well.

The financier for these expeditions was my father. While I cannot give you his number, I will happily, provide you with the addresses of the toddlers who used and abused me over the past week.

Back to the language, There is a Swedish word that translated directly would mean something like "security of justice" or "due process of law", which denotes such things as a fair trial, unbribed police, right to a lawyer, etc. I feel like saying it maybe twice a week in any discussion about national politics, but I don't really know a suitable English word. You have a clue?

oh! I thought that wasn't allowed for mods

Except that you don't spam and haven't truly done so in months, if not years. And yet, just after people voice their displeasure of recent events all the mods pop out of the woodwork.

[Fiberfar]

Just because I want to answer the question

Did you take a vacation yet, this year? If so, where did you go?

I've been staying home. Not much to see when you've used to see it every day
