Conflict can only be sorted by dialogue, the big stick approach never works.
Maybe if someone was to sit down with the protaginists and actually communicate we would get somewhere...

Perhaps you enjoy the poppies that grow in far greater numbers than they ever did under the Taliban?
Some would say that The Taliban only wiped out 90% of the poppy production to inflate the price of their own stockpiles and to settle vendettas against rival warlords.
But that would be a conspiracy theory !!
And it doesn`t explain why the American and allied forces have encouraged the reintroduction of poppy growing ....One would have assumed that a reduction in heroin reaching European and American shores would be a good thing ....but hey ho ...
I`ve no doubt an explanation will be forthcoming.

Johny it seems your last post was edited TEN yes I did say TEN times!
You got other sites then apart from Google??
That has to be a record for editing a post...but am sure with your Google skills, you can show us links saying different!
Trying to be a smart arse really suits you.
Being extremely rude seems to be a trait you do very well too.

You just get the hump when people jump to my defence,a bit like the people who pm me regularly those ones you scoff about.
As I have said you are in last chance saloon here,and not if but when it does happen, I for one will raise a glass or two.
Scotch your tipple?

I used to have an OCD problem. The number four was my sticking point. It's enough to drive you even madder.
Johnny- you can beat it, I did. And four is far more important than five :giggle:

I`ve no doubt the pair of you wallow in mutual congratulation....have fun ....but just remember ....you`ll be sober in the morning .
As long as you continue to divert attention away from the original post and make out that every post is some kind of personal attack, you`ll be winning.....but eventually people will be able to post in here without you diverting away from the subject.
Flower.........I don't have time to respond in full this morning but will do later. For your information, I was sober last night...........were you?

Seems like another " lets knock the Yanks thread "?
We all can have as much to say about the troops being sent, but it won't make a jot of difference.
The Yanks are right to be there as to pull out now would be madness. More troops will hopefully mean the job can be done better and quicker.
At least the Yanks have some balls unlike France and Germany, who only have a token ammount out there.
While we have troops out there, lets hope they seriously kick some Taliban arse!!

Yes thanks.
Seems a shame then that you act with such venom and vitriol without the aid of alcohol.
Is it some other kind of artificial stimulant that fires you up then ?
Flower, I won't come down to your level, if you want to slander me then go ahead, it's quite obvious that if you have to resort to such pettiness and innuendo, then you really do have a problem.
In answer to the question you asked me, yes I did read Kent's original post and see nothing offensive in it. It may have been his usual bombastic style but nothing offensive. What I DID find offensive, was this "He`s just happy to talk up the deployment of our young men in invasions of other countries so they can come back in body bags." That's totally uncalled for and out of order.
I also saw the other post you made "In some cases this is true but there will always be people who call on the authorities when somebody upsets them and they are unable to cope with a little criticism." To anyone that doesn't know the history between you and Kent, this would probably have little significance but it is a deliberate dig at Kent, in fact this sort of post is your speciality...having sly little digs. You did the same to me the first time we crossed swords, quoting from my profile in a totally unrelated thread and adding a little dig at the end. I chose to ignore it.
I hate to disappoint you but Kenty and I do not sit and congratulate each other, nor do I follow Kent's posts in the hope of stirring up trouble, I think you manage that quite well on your own, but I really don't think there is any point me telling you this, as in your sad little world it probably makes you happy to imagine such things. You also asked me if I believed the things that I posted....I would ask you the same question. Do you honestly believe that you DO NOTdeliberatley stir things up with your posts against Kent ( or anyone else that happens to disagree with you?) If your answer is yes, then you really are delusional.
Quote by flower411
Deluded is his middle name Max.
His account was stopped as far as I know, his comments towards me some weeks ago were " stripped " from the thread. He has been warned.
IF he does not want to take any notice of that, then when he cannot log on here anymore, maybe he will realise?
Somehow from what has been written since, he has not listened.
I wil not sit back and take some drunken rant, implying I look forward to our young boys coming home in body bags...now that is fucking offensive, but then that is the nature of the man.
As people are aware my step Son will be out there next year....do I want him coming home in a body bag too?
I HAVE complained to admin many times about him, he knows this too....hence the constant digs.
The bottom line Max is that he holds a grudge, as we fell out years ago...many people know this as well.
Still life is too short to hold grudges, but his comment in this thread is what got my back up....offensive in the extreme.
You see with Johny, whilst he can be rude I still respect his comments, and he is a good person to discuss with. Yes he can call me a fuckwit...very funny that is too but....I hold no ill thoughts about him at all.
But with Mr Flower he deliberatly goes out of his way to be nasty, certainly towards me. But that is where grudges come in.
This did seem a let's knock the Yanks thread, and from that is where the nastiness started.
Give some people enough Rope and they will surely hang themselves, and I beleive I will still be here, long after he has gone...unless he seriously changes his attitude.
Now I have to get back to work, as my new 65 inch telly has to be paid for.

When I referred to the original post I was refering to the original post not 777`s post that was written deliberately to try to stir up trouble ..
I am genuinely interested in other peoples views on the fact that Barrack Obama has been awarded the Nobel peace prize and is now sending 30 000 more troops into war ..but as usual you have taken it upon yourself with the rest of the 777 gang to ignore the original post and change the thread to your own agenda !
It`s shame that people can`t start threads in here without personal vitriolic attacks from the two of you but unfortunately that`s just the way it is.
Flower, FFS go out and get yourself help!

Perhaps not locking, though it is a further demonstration where one poster has taken the lead away from the intended discussion (not a bad thing in itself generally) with personal comments, and a vitriolic and pointed style which appears informed solely on thier personal impression of the poster quoted, rather than the content of thier posts.
It happens all too often.
It belittles the nature of the forum, and they belittle themselves.
Then this same poster has the temerity to play the victim, the poor little "misunderstood", in what 'appears' to be an attempt to simply get others into trouble.
Childish, arrogant and ignorant.
Surely this type of behaviour, though not strictly an infrigement of the AUP, can be handled by the people with the responcibilty to do so, in such a way as to make it know to be frowned upon?
It makes a mockery of the whole fora.
"victim" indeed!
******************
lp, your comments re the playing of victim etc could equally apply to more than one poster here. I have reread this thread and whilst Kent's response to the OP may not have been strictly on topic, it is far from being vitriolic, certainly nowhere as vitriolic, pointed or personal as later posts by others.
Posters resorting to childish slander and innuendo also makes a mockery of the fora.
Oh and Flower, if you want my response to your original question, The whole Obama/Nobel thing has been done in a previous thread ( of yours?) to which I have nothing to add.
