lol Paul

You would obviously prefer to live in an anarchy then.

You don't know me, never met me and never will. So you dont know what I prefer to live in because it certainly isn't obvious. Personally, if I hated living in a place where people get the chance to vote, then I'd move to an island and live alone or with a group of like minded people who didn't need any rules. I think there's a good novel about a society like that....

lol

I love the ad hominum ones who haven't got an argument but instead think they win by calling nasty names. :-)

No, I don't report people, I like to read their comments, it amuses me :-) What you think of me affects me exactly - let me think - no, I can't think of anything that small apart from - well, it's a family site so I will leave it to your imagination.

Eldrick doesn't report.

But I have.

I don't know the origins of one word, but it sounds rude... I have googled it and you meant it rudely.

The other word I find deeply deeply offensive.

This has been a lovely thread....

Just read the following that I found interesting

http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/uk_politics/election_2010/8661984.stm
What can you NOT do in a polling station?

And I might have put a tick instead of a cross if I had known the following :-)
DO I HAVE TO MARK MY CROSS WITH A PENCIL ON A STRING?
No, the election is not being electronically counted. So if you prefer you can use a pen. You can even mark the box with a tick instead. The important thing is that your voting intention is clear.

Paul, I don't think patronizing is quite the same as foul and offensive language.

Not that I think Eldrick was patronizing at all.

But your language is most certainly unacceptable

If it's offensive ...it's offensive...
Whether it be words or otherwise....

HE was being patronizing...I took offence...

Paul, without being patronising, let me ask you a few questions.

1. Do you use the NHS?
2. Do you pay income tax, or if not, do you use the benefits system, or live on state pension?
3. Do you pay Council Tax?
4. Do you pay VAT on your food, heating, clothes etc?
6. If yes to the above, why NOT vote for those who govern these very things?
7. If you wont' vote because you feel 'ruled', how would you have this country run and who by? Who would pay for it and how?

Oh dear. I really can't get that het up anymore about name calling on the internet. It really doesn't bother me, Daff, not in the slightest, it means absolutely nothing.

Not everyone has the same sense of humour. Come to think of it, not everyone has a sense of humour:-)

Okay there are times when I've felt that Eldrick has come across as patronising but Paul you need to grow up. You're sounding like a petulant toddler and your language is offensive on what is a family site.

TeresaW..

..Im not voting for people who do not have any interest in the people..they are all out for what they can get.....power....money.....and self gratification. Running the county is a side line...
They line their pockets... which has been proved by the expense scandal.

And how long has that been going on?..and still would be if it wasn't brought to public attention.

They are not people I would vote for.....

If you want to vote..go ahead..my other half has....thats her right..as it yours...as it it mine ..not to..
