Which means you can shoot rats at the landfill quarry.

Especially if the mess room has quarry tiles on the floor

Gotta say i don't mind the american spelling for the most part.....what do the extra letters on the end of catalogue bring to the table for example?
Most of our flowery spelling either comes from people trying to look clever or the french

I think we should make it compulsory that all words are used in full, then pass a law that all future immigrants need "A" level English in literature and language

The only problem with that is around 50% of the UK POP would fail.........I'm talking about some of the native speakers, some of the foreigners put them to shame

Only 50% I think you give our youth more credit than they deserve

Well yes. There are only so many hours in a school day. Reading, writing and arithmetic have been pushed aside for more essential lessons, such as:
Ignore the snow drifts, global warming will kill us all.
How to fill out forms for unemployment benefits.
GLBTWTFBBQ Liberation. Having children is bad. Please don't ask who will pay your pension when you are old.
Multiculturalism is the saviour of western civilisation. Please don't mention the gang rapes or beheadings.

It takes a lot to make an entire generation believe so many things that aren't so. Non essentials have to be put aside.

I fear the return of the Gods of the Copybook Headings.

Well, if that doesn't come to pass at least he made exceedingly good cakes, perhaps he'll send those instead

Absolutely correct with every point.

I bet most were American (US Yanks) ideas, especially

which intended to turn Europe and UK into a US structure alike, with full recognition that changing precious cultures like that was a historic crime.

Angela Merkel single handed did more harm to Germany in one year than what decades needed to do to UK and France, by being naive and believing the words of a women oppressing lier in Turkey, whom I heard him saying just yesterday that there will not be any birth control amongst Turkish Muslems families, and any woman claiming such a right is considered a traitor to the religion.

I love my country for what it was thousands of years ago, and i was internally sad to watch it being destroyed everyday for the last five years, though it was being destroyed on daily base for the last 70 years by its stupid ignorant lying selfish corrupt rulers and population, all unimportant at all because actually the real devastating destruction happened 1400 years ago, but believe me when I tell you that I feel a lot more sad when i watch and hear what is going on in the old continent, turning gradually into another USA or Australia, with full respect and love for both of the new worlds.

And I'm saying all this although i'm a left wing, or was maybe... not sure, I think i'm not stupid enough anymore to stay on a single side.

[Radagast]

Many humanists consider themselves left wing. Don't confuse your desire to see your fellow men better off with left wing politics as practised in the west. It is about tribalism and cultural marxism, tearing down the stability of society. JFK was left wing. Today he would be to the right of the Republocan party.

[Midnight.Sun]

If "left wing" is a trademark of the Democratic Party in the US, then I meant to say just left, or a lefty sorts of speak.

How much of the left is left? And how much of the right is right? One thing i'm sure of -and was never a lefty quality- is the for ever respect for history and its lessons, damn sure.

Since you mentioned marxism, a third generation here, not committed or raised by the book, nor by any other book unfortunately, while having to live among the open and hidden religious tribalism of the Middle East... Any way, in the end, it's a fu**ed up developed specie planet.

It's blatantly obvious for 'Muricans that our administration is preaching tolerance just to save face.
