Now that the religious thread has slowed down can we talk about immigration

That one, third from left is one inbred looking swamp dweller, what's his name Bubba-Cletus?

Don't "dis" my brothers!

I suggest you ask the right person. Spotting someone skirting round something and filling in the details for them are not the same thing.

No Adrian please do tell everyone on CC what I actually wanted to say....I too am all ears!

Clearly you are the right the person to ask, you've spotted something being skirted around, what is it?

Only you can tell us all what that thing is it is. I'd hate to make assumptions

 

[mrandmrspoves]

Down to you speak your mind.

I did. YOU accused me of not doing and skirting round what I wanted to say. So it is up to you to support this accusation by informing me and everyone else of what it is you were (secretly) accusing me of.
Alternatively you could just apologise and admit you were wrong (I won't hold my breath while I wait)

 

[Rapples]

Rapples you are being an arse. Not the first time though is it?

Am I?

From where I'm sitting one of us is, and being picked up on it. I wouldn't be so crass as to start calling you names though

 

[mrandmrspoves]

No I am not seeing anything that says what you want to say other than your pleasant ship not so pleasant ship s***.

So in other words Adrian, you cannot back up your accusation. Instead you fall back on rudeness.
You are not seeing anything that says what I want to say - because in your supreme arrogance you still think you know what I want to say better than I do - so once again I invite you to say what it is that you think I want to say,
Put up - or shut up!

I'd be interested in hearing a better analogy. The ships one doesn't hold water.

 

[mrandmrspoves]

As I have said quite clearly, you have expressed yourself via a rubbish analogy that doesn't work when you consider the differences between ships and countries. You haven't responded to the invitation to say it properly and I am not making your stuff up for you.

The analogy does work . albeit it somewhat simplistic.
Now it is clearly you that is skirting round the issue.
You basically accused me of not saying what I wanted to say. I have invited you to tell me and everyone else on CC what it is that you think I want to say and your response to this is to invite me to say what I wanted to say.

You are the one who made the accusation. You are the one that thinks you can say what I want to say more clearly than I can - so go ahead!

I am still waiting (and glad I chose not to hold my breath!)

 

[mrandmrspoves]

I have explained clearly why your analogy is beyond simplistic and into doesn't work territory. Ship, finite capacity, etc. Country loads of capacity pleanty of ways to reconfigure resources etc.

Yes you have criticised my analogy......but you still haven't come up with the goods and stated what you know I want to say but haven't said..... Come on spit it out I am still waiting.........

 

[mrandmrspoves]

Adrian - you are being deliberately obtuse.
YOU made the accusation that I was not writing what I wanted to write. I have clearly stated that I have written what I wanted to write.
YOU continue to avoid responding to my invitation for YOU to clarify what it is YOU THINK I wanted to write!

 

[clarion]

My problem mrandmrspoves is that I have no idea what you are trying to convey, since the analogy sank.

Do try to explain again, and I'll see if I can catch on this time.

The analogy does work, I'll give you a clue, we live on a island, that is to say land surrounded by water. Land is a finite resource, they don't make it anymore.

HTH

Why am I not surprised you've joined in:troll:

 

[clarion]

What?!

As soon as Adrian has the decency to honestly respond to my invitation for him to let me know what it is he knows that I wanted to say but didn't say, I will try and explain it to you Clarion in simple terms that you too can understand.
