Thought Id start this one going because its rather dead on this board at the moment and I suppose all my usual muckers are either at the Stella tennis event watching Dim Tim (lose again) or at Henly Regatta eating cucumber sandwiches (they wish,...NOT).
Anyway please feel free to just talk to yourself blast away and let it go on any company or subject you wish. Just wish Id thought of this one before.
cheers GF.

DB,
What the USA thinks advantageous to itself at this moment in time.
The time span of a day trader comes into mind.
When you rely on your muscle, the long term outcome is not considered, as you have a belief that you can batter the other group into submitting to your way of thinking.
--------
I had hoped for more from Obama, but no more from Camoron, but both are stuck with present circumstances partly as a result of Bush and Blair previous stupidity.
But Camoron is also exploiting the stage for political gain and distraction from his economic mismanagement.
(Wants his place as a failed war leader, as well as the PM who failed the UK economy.)
Interesting to see what the vote in the political game will be tomorrow.

Check the meaning of syllogism. You may mean a tautology but it is not syllogism. The reason I described the use of CWs was to explain the reasons for responding and because there was a post above saying that it did not matter how people died.

I thought I was cynical.

I remember studying Aristotean syllogisms at school. A syllogism is nothing like the statement I made. Syllogisms are methods of drawing a conclusions from two premises. They are of the style:- this is true, this is also true an therefore we can deduce something else.

Interesting to see the tory backbench informing Camoron that they can't be taken for granted.

I would call it the Camoron spinning on his heels and doing one of his biggest U-turns yet.
"Fools rush in where angels fear to tread."
Cameron is no angel!
Perhaps, he will revert to being Obama's poodle.

you can call anything you like whatever you like as you don't like anything ..... had cameron taken no position at all, you would have said he was a pathetic wimp and should be showing leadership for the country

But he is a pathetic wimp, out to save his own skin.
I would prefer to see a leader who is honest and has a sense of direction for the benefit of the country as a whole rather his own skin which is dependent on some of his party.
He lacks long term judgement skills.
And you are right, I don't like Camoron and didn't like Blair. (PR stuntmen.)
Can give a longer list, but think both of these are shallow and more interested in their place in history and public acclaim than enacting well thought out policies which are beneficial for the future of the UK (and Europe) as a whole.

Manuel,
A large percentage of the world, other than those who are grossly self serving with the disregard of others.
But, I learnt to walk alone quite early, and question the herd mentality.
Read "Abou Ben Adhem".
(It was read to me when I was about 8 years old.)

pah! ..... even though you may have been a child prodigy (if so, it was clearly ephemeral) no normal parent would have inflicted that poem on a child and expected the remotest understanding of it ..... in any case, its relevance is what, unless you are hell bent on becoming some latter day ghandi, which clearly you are not? .....
so nominate any political/union leader anywhere in the world who acts altruistically? ...... and don't be so ridiculous!
