I have seen posts where people have read far too much into a question/discussion. Then some people start having a little argument between themselves which often has little relevance to the original subject. I think some people wish to start arguments just for the hell of it.
@MatthewB7621,
i don't see what any of this has to do with wikileaks or the price of tea in China, i think you're being purposely obtuse and confrontational
and just what is reality anyway

That kind of sums up humanity...some people like all kinds of stuff, others don't.
@MatthewB7621,
interesting, the massive amounts (for a Canadian anyway) of UK television and radio i've listened to all lead me to believe that the British had a sense of humour, boy did i get that wrong
@djjd62,
I have a sense of humour thanks..
@MatthewB7621,

How can we tell?
Do you aspire to be the thread relevance gestapo?
@Setanta,
See you're taking the piss already. All of you do it. You cannot seem to give an opinion without trying to be smart in some way.
You've got only yourself to blame. You come here with some kind of control freak attitude, and now you whine about people taking the piss. Who are you to decide that people "look far too much into topics?" You started that thread about which is the best country in the world (an idiotic concept to begin with) and in no time flat, you're complaining about foreigners on the bus who don't speak English. Do you expect to be taken seriously after serving up tripe like that?
I live in a city with large ethnic populations from all over Asia, Africa, the West Indies, Europe and South America. They don't speak English on the bus or the subway. I know they're talking about me, because, obviously, i'm the most important person on that bus or subway car.
We may have some antipodeans here, too--but they already speak English, and we know they don't have anything interesting to say.
How's that for going off topic? Why don't you see if can have me arrested?
@MatthewB7621,
when i had real life friends, our conversations often looked a lot like A2K threads, wild, rambling, off topic messes, of course they were mostly fuelled by pot or booze or some other mind altering substance (or a combo there of)
ah, good times
@dlowan,
ah, thats sweet, taking the doggie for a walk
oh, wait, nevermind
@Setanta,
And when have I decided anything? I asked a question. And my question was not "which is the best country in the world". Anyway different people feel different ways, which is why I made a discussion about it. But all you people seem to do is complain at me. Try living in Hayes then you idiot.
@MatthewB7621,
So now you decide to call people names. You asked what is the best country to live in, and began complaining about foreigners who don't speak English on the bus. You got the response you deserved. Now you want to whine about how people post. Once again, you're getting the response you deserve.
@djjd62,
Does whack mean anything weird in American?
@dlowan,
It means to kill someone in gangster parlance, and "whack off" means the same thing as wank. Some people use whack to mean a great deal--"I got a whack of those flower pots when they were on sale."
@dlowan,
I figured the slam on the antipodeans would get a rise out you, Miss Cunning Coney.
@dlowan,
when combined with "off" it has a mostly male masturbatory connotation, but i was simply playing my "guy who misread the word or concept" character
@djjd62,
oh yeah, forgot about the gang killing thing
