There was something in the UK media that I thought was off...well several things but I can only remember one.. The New Years honours list - apparently they accidentally published the names and addresses of people on the list.. it included big stars like Elton John but also policemen, and people who had worked undercover investigating the Russian killings in the UK.. I thought that not only was that a really stupid move of them to accidentally publish sensitive info.. but it was really stupid of the media to make a big deal about it because... by drawing attention to it - more people would know it was published and may be able to gain access.. They may have removed the info now.. but.. less

I might... if I even knew what it was!

As you say, you had no appointments... and it was New Year's Day. I would point that out to them and perhaps list all the other nonsensical whines they have made, all of which, I would say, are making you question why they are treating you so badly.. Perhaps make them feel bad for their awful behaviour>?

I think for me, it's perhaps a slight cultural change, where I come from, it wouldn't be bad, but here on this site, it is deemed so.. I always make sure I remain polite and articulate.. but, there have been times when others felt differently.. I don't agree but at the end of the day, if we choose to remain here, then quite honestly.. they can make whatever rules they like and we DO have to endeavour to remain within those boundaries.. So, as I say.. I have sympathy, it doesn't feel nice when you believe you haven't done anything wrong.. but, them's the breaks..Ahh.... actually, scratch that.. I DO know how it feels to be wrongly accused.. but, looking at some of your posts.... it seems there's perhaps some fairly obvious reasons why they might have warned you?PS we... less

Russia is a country with a massive history of murdering and torturing their own people, and of restricting their rights, of communism, of invading and bullying other countries.. AND of spying and interfering, dangerously in other countryiess affairs.. They have also CONTINUED to kill people, mostly their own, on foreign soil, (e.g. in the UK) they spread fake news internationally, (this is PROVEN) and the intent is to destabilise and cause difficulties within those countries. So, as I say, it would, be most unusual for anyone to find support for them. less

America was founded on immigrants.. and they continue to be a big part. It's just that some immigrants are less welcome than others. Canada is more welcoming of immigrants... and they can afford to be..

Of course, here in the real world that doesn't always happen and people can and do end up raising children alone.. but I think most would still say that isn't ideal.. generally speaking while we can fall in love at first sight, it doesn't have to be with a stranger.. it is most often something that develops with someone we know less

I understand this is because flat roofs, (rooves?) fail more readily than sloped. They are more prone to frost and water damage for a start.. I'd venture to say sloped look better too. My house is over 100 years old and the sloped part is in-keeping with the period.

I feel it's just down to the specific dynamics there. Re the college system.. I am sure you will appreciate that the not liking the outcome *because* of the system isn't one of my own personal beefs. The system is the system - we have a similar, but differently named, system here.. But it doesn't change the fact that Clinton won the popular/majority vote.

Good to know!

But, to me, he's stupider than stupid.. to speak as he does, so lacking in comprehension and articulation, so overly-simplistic, so, moronic.. That to me signifies someone who lacks intellect. As for the campaign.. he didn't really *organise* - he just went out, *****, whined, insulted and shouted his blabbering mouth off a lot.. Unfortunately, the dynamics there are such that that appealed to more people than it ought.. Which is sad :(Dynamics, interference and a number of other salient factors combined to result in him being elected, including the college electoral system..There's some question over the last Bush. He was the object of ridicule world-wide - we all laughed like drains over his stupid-comments. Personally, I would never have believed there could be anything even remotely as stupid elected again... I was wrong! less

My reasoning behind that statement, is that I don't think that Facebook is either that influential and that I have seen as much, if not more, anti-authoritarian stuff as pro. So, while we may, or may not be fans of FB, I don't think, in this respect, it's that bad.

Both are too extreme and both too simplistic. You may guess, though, that my tendency would be towards the first statement. My proviso is, that Trump doesn't particularly affect the world, or world news that much. It's just that most of the rest of the world find him repugnant, illiterate and stupid. We tend to shake our heads in disbelief at his antics than anything.

Agreed!
