Christ, get a life rather than diceting forum rules & regulations, you only have to be around this forum for a few minutes to realise those rules & regulation are in the archives and not adhered to by the site administation.
You find something you don't like. Then you start calling people names until you are able to irritate them enough to strike back at you. Then you tell everyone that you only defend your self when if fact you are the cause of the problem.
Don't worry after seeing what you are like I am happy to classed with the Russians. And I feel sorry for you Martin because no matter how many members on here you are able to push down it will not magically transform you into a man.
Land of oz,
If I have something to say then at least I have the balls to say it, you, and whilst you might say say it directly, have your points of view of individuals on this forum but you just hint at it, as per your post above that I responded to, you haven't got the balls to come out and say what you mean but the meaning is there to be detected.
If you don't like the arguing that is currently going on on this forum then butt out, mind your own business, walk away from it, but by repeatedly interfering in it then you are involving yourself in it.
I don't deny that Martin and (each) myself have issued a few insults. But danny has MORE than made up for anything either of us have done. You, on the other hand, want to come across as squeeky clean - but you seem to throw a quite a few veiled insults of your own. Your language may not be as crude - but what you say is just as bad.
And as far as pretending to be a moderator - and talking of trashing people you don't like.... the internet is a BIG place. Strat your OWN ofrum and you can be the big-dog ruler of it. After you do THAT - PM me here and I will personally sign on if you like - just to do you the favor of trash talking so you can trash can ME (will that make you feel better?). But till then realize you are just one of many here. And knocking those you don't like with some self-righteaous bent - doesn't make YOU any more of a man than the rest of us are.
danny:
Why should i be ashamed of still being a friend of my exfiance? She's a great person - perhaps not my second half - but a great person none-the-less. And getting money back after being scammed is STILL BEING SCAMMED. Only a SUCKER gets scammed - and you were (are) a SUCKER.
For your information - my exfiance came along to the Romance Social as the FRIEND of an invited woman. What that means ins my exfiance's FRIEND was listed with an agency - and she (the friend) was invited to attend the Romance Social. Anybody who knows ANYTHING about women traveling long distances in the FSU, knows it is unwise for them to do it alone - at night. So this FRIEND asked the woman who would later become my fiance - to travel with her. My exfiance was NOT invited to thge Romance Social - nor was she listed with any agency. She just happened to attend as a favor for HER friend.
I met her FACE to FACE - not having a clue as to who she was - or knowing a thing about her.
Having an EX-fiance simply means that things didn't work out. We perhaps weren't meant to get married. Thats all. Why, in heavans name, should one be ASHAMED about that.
As I have said before the ONLY (and I do mean ONLY) advantage in the whole world that YOU have over ME - is that without the responsibilites of full time employment - you can spend more time in the FSU than I can. But before you get too big-headed over that - realize - its like saying a fish has an advantage over a man - because it can breath under water. In the grand scheme of things - its not much.
So if you want to argue time spend with yout lady - if relationships to you come with time punch-cards that you can clock-in with and clock-out - then you have the tiniest of advantages. Big whoopy doo.
So what do YOU propse that I do with my exfiance - if havng one is so bad? Should I SHOOT her, danny boy?
I should also explain - A Romance Social is an arranged get-together where western men pay to attend a "party" or "meeting" in a hotel restauarnt or rented disco - and local ladies from every imaginable agency are invited. Why are listed ladies generally invited? Because the men there generaly have limited time and would like to meet ladies who are REALLY single and interested in starting a relationship. The men have no idea, usually, who wil be there and ALL meeting is done face-to-face based on traditional ideas of attraction between two people.
Some ladies never get spoken to at the Social. Some guys come away without meeting anyone special. This is life.
If you look at the purpose of this forum it is "Place where men can get questions answered and share experiences in dating" and of course the title is "Russian Brides"
So I try to structure my posts in a manner that are least offensive so that what I say is effective. I fear that if I call the question asker an idiot then he will only hear that and the answer to his question will be ineffective.
Now as to whether sitting behind a keyboard in the comfort of a locked home on an anonymous forum and insulting someone thousands of miles away is a test to see if you have balls. That seems like a pretty low bar to me. I think I would opt to pull my pants down and look personally. If your structure will not allow that use a mirror.
We have a problem here so I tried to say some things harsh enough that you could see the point but not so harsh that you would only see red. Now with the argument at hand as I said before I am not impressed with how either of you are behaving. It has gone to a point where there is little rationality in it. There are only 4 entities that have the power to stop this argument the people involved and the moderator. At this point all seem to be content to allow all of the other members to be run off and allow it to go on.
But if we cannot see why this thing started the next one will start the same way. Nobody will get questions answered and the whole forum will be of no value. Unless you are an entrepreneur and are able to sell seats for viewing the argument.
I am sure all of you have enough good knowledge to help many people but it is of no use this way.
You find something you don't like. Then you start attacking people, by stealth, until you are able to irritate them enough to strike back at you. Then you tell everyone that you only defend your self when if fact you are the cause of the problem.
Don't worry after seeing what you are like I am happy to and I feel sorry for you Land of oz because no matter how many members on here you are able to push down it will not magically transform you into a man.
I need no reassurance of my anatomical structure and have, till now, never considered whether or not I can view my testicles better in a mirror or looked upon directly. That you have thoroughly considered such observation, says more about your own deep seated concerns than the anything else though further discussion of your particular malady seems to be beyond the accepted subject matter of this forum.
I must point out that certain of us do find specific descriptions of personal hygenic behavior, as you have described, rather offensive and would ask you to kindly refrain from describing it any further in these spaces.
You mention there being four entities with the power to stop the offensive discourse currently pervading this forum as being the people involved as well as the moderator. I would suggest that there may be other entities with that power as well. These capable enities might include, God, martians (or other extraterrestial life) and perhaps rogue military leaders bent on taking over civilization.
But thank you Land of Oz for the well structured and effective post above. Kindly note that I have not used a single offensive reference to "idiots" or my "balls" in my response to you.
I hope that you will similarly attempt to refrain from using such offensive and upsetting words in your future posts.
Yes Jet I will. That was not intended for you but was a direct response to Martin's post above who indicated his method of posting proved that he had these offensive to you objects and told me that I did not have them. I was merely explaining to him a simpler way to determine if he did indeed possess them.
Land of oz,
If/when you have been to FSU, in the company of a lady, and before getting in to a taxi, do you check if the vehicle is legally licensed, that the tyre treads are legal, that the tyre pressures are correct, that the seat belts are functioning correctly, that the driver is sober and legally licensed, that the vehicle has a current 'technical' certificate, that the oil, water, brake fluid etc. are topped up appropriately or, just, occasionally might you say 'phuck it, let's just go with the flow'?
I am paying for a ride from point a to point b. Unless there is a problem with the ride I am getting my moneys worth. But I do not cuss before I get in.
And I presume that would be travelling thru Bangkok's newer airport that is 'cracking up' due to the corruption and sub-standards of materials that went in to the building of it.
The whole airport is unsafe, never mind the aircraft that fly in/out of it.
Wednesday January 31, 2007
Bangkok's new international airport, which opened four months ago amid hopes that it would rival Singapore and Kuala Lumpur as a regional hub, is to be partially shut for urgent repairs.
The embarrassing fiasco over Suvarnabhumi - which means "golden land" - was forced on Thailand's transport ministry after more than 100 cracks appeared in the runways and taxiways due to subsidence thought to be the result of poor drainage and shoddy materials.
The £2.2bn airport, more than 40 years in the planning, was built on drained land known as "cobra swamp" and opened with great fanfare last September, a few days after the prime minister, Thaksin Shinawatra, was ousted in a bloodless military coup.
Mr Thaksin had put his personal stamp on the project, which boasts the world's tallest control tower and second biggest building. But the airport, designed to cater for 45 million passengers a year, opened amid allegations of corruption that critics say explains its disastrous shortcomings.
Next week the transport minister, Theera Haocharoen, is to ask the military-appointed cabinet to agree to transfer some flights to the mothballed Don Muang hub for up to six months during repairs. Some domestic operators are to be asked to return to the old airport to help reduce Suvarnabhumi's traffic by almost a third.
The military government ordered an investigation into the scale of the problems after flights were last week diverted to an old American B52 bomber base at U-Tapao, south of Bangkok. The four passenger jets ran short of fuel while circling because of delays from remedial work already under way at Suvarnabhumi.
The committee is expected to take several weeks to identify the full size of the problems. But officials of the Thai airports authority have already outlined 61 design flaws likely to cost £23m to fix.
An opinion poll among Thais found 16.4% believed the airport unsafe, while 48% believed corruption lay at the root of the problems. Many international visitors will also be concerned as the airport is a gateway to Thailand's southern beaches.
Inadequate baggage handling equipment led immediately upon opening to long delays and lost belongings. Then the lifts failed to work, toilets were insufficient to meet passenger needs, female flight attendants were sexually harassed by construction workers, and last weekend a water leak in a toilet destroyed baggage. Now, the cracks in the tarmac have put 11 of the airport's 51 boarding bridges out of commission and slashed capacity.
You're right. Not only do the girls get free drinks but there is an excellent variety of things like smoked salmon, pastries, deserts, chocolates and things like that that are on every table and the girls get to try those things. There are also bottles of champaign at every table - at least one or two bottles. After that the guys are expected to buy, at reasonable prices.
Regarding the points you make are good - but in this particular thread the story was intended more as a metaphor.
