Slarti

Always the same result when beetlejuice appears.

He can't seem to handle that it's really only BiEK that will engage with him for more than 3 posts. How come shull's back and our old pal Slartibartfast isn't? It's a disgrace, so it is.

As the old saying goes "accuracy is often mistaken for pedantry by the less intelligent". To be fair, it wasn't bok that first mentioned the term but I didn't want to get into a discussion with Beetlejuice.

Better developed people??? What the f**k does that mean? More knowledgeable - yes (but mainly because a relatively small amount of people have investigated, discovered and invented then disseminated that information to others in various ways), but better developed - no. I don't even know how you would begin to measure something like that.

Too much information ...

No bother, here to help.

That's easy for you to say.

That position isn't available on their website - it just might be, possibly, there's a slight chance that it actually is a scam. If I were you (and thank the big man I'm not) I'd take the chance and just send them all your details - don't forget to send your PIN, as they always seem to require that for some reason.

They spoiled it at the end by offering you a 2 yr old car. Tell them they will have to give you a 2021 Tesla and double the monthly salary - because you can't afford to take a pay cut.

You forgot "homophobic".

They're now talking about possibly vaccinating kids so maybe that's part of the reason.

It's already been established, long ago, that he believes that an opinion that something is fact, makes it a fact. It is my opinion that it is a fact that he is a wee fud, therefore it is a fact that he is a wee fud. We can all play that game. --- Now, the fact that his view that it (the subject you are discussing) is a fact is now, according to him, just beyond reasonable doubt and not a fact. So things that he knows 100% to be fact are not fact and things that only in his view are fact are definitely fact. This is getting confusing. --- Oh, and yer still baith wrang.

When are they due to expire?

It's Glasgow, only one of those would have a queue with folk salivating.

Seeing as you have been "kind" enough to quote him and give me the "pleasure" of seeing his posts, I'll stick my oar in and say ... yer baith wrang.

Mibbe they know something we don't.

If they were truly following the teachings they would be stoning unruly children and getting their slaves from the nations around them. One of the main problems with religion, especially Christianity, is that followers believe that they get their morals from their god/book but they really (mostly) act in a morally superior way to the teachings, showing that they are actually more moral than the thing they think they get their morals from. The nutters from the likes of the Westboro Baptist Church and the NIFB are actually following the teachings closer than most "mainstream" Christians. I think the main point is that it doesn't take religion/faith/teaching for people to help others, it takes compasion and that is a human trait, not the sole preserve of people of religion/faith.

Who does he think he is? Me????

I can't renember details, but it stuck in my head for being, imo, strange as the pattern had been used "everywhere, on everything, forever" prior to that. Maybe there was a lot more to it than I recall. Well, there you go then. Either things have changed since the incident I recall or I'm just plain wrong. I could just blame it on a badly written article in the PDE many years ago. [emoji16]

Stop trying to give away Oaky's title.

I know that a while back the council took some Japanese (i think) company to court over it and the company ended up paying the council in an out of court settlement. Dunno how much, dunno if it still applies, dunno much about it really to be honest. I was just wondering.

Yep. Obviously inflation etc etc, but still ... aye, probably.

Nope. You were arguing against a statement/point I made, so it couldn't be me building strawmen. Nope, no link, can't remember what thread it was.

That's funny, a while back you argued with me for days about whether or not you can choose what you believe. Maybe you've changed your mind. If not, just choose to believe that I am right on this.

He's nothing like me.
