Ever notice that you can't carry on a one sided arguement???
for some people, life is one big arguement. They receive the most pleasure out of the attention they get when they are spouting their hatred and slanted viewpoints. To those people I say..shame on you and get a life.
I always taught my children when they say..."Well, HE started it!!", was..."The SMART one ends it, and the way to end it, is to just quit talking to the other person." No talk, no way to argue back. End of story.
You are giving some people the attention they so direly want to have and thus, they are achieving what they have desired most...a public forum and an audience where they can perform. Soliloqies will not last long on here if no one listens. They will die a very quick death.
So..in closing...if a tree falls in the forest..does it make a noise??? Not if there is no one to listen...
I just get people asking if it ever stops snowing.

I have people asking me if we drive to New Zealand....apparently there is a bridge!!
Bajesus, did they ask if we ride camels to work and live in tents? My friend came back from the States, and someone asked him if we drive cars and have movie theatres! So don't be surprised.
LOL sandcastle. Thanks for the laugh, have a goodnight :-)
The more these countries support these racist attitudes the more our countries seem to cement their ties with them...strange! I'm just thankful I wasn't really subjected to any racist behavior but it was getting tiresome to answer ppl always asking howcome my Englsh is so good like I had a retarded look on my face! :-P
Pearls of Wisdom
"Fourteen Things That It Took Me Over 50 Years To Learn" by Dave Barry
1. Never, under any circumstances, take a sleeping pill and a laxative on the same night.
2. If you had to identify, in one word, the reason why the human race has not achieved, and never will achieve, its full potential, that word would be "meetings."
3. There is a very fine line between "hobby" and "mental illness".
4. People who want to share their religious views with you almost never want you to share yours with them.
5. You should not confuse your career with your life.
6. Nobody cares if you can't dance well. Just get up and dance.
7. Never lick a steak knife.
8. The most destructive force in the universe is gossip.
9. You will never find anybody who can give you a clear and compelling reason why we observe daylight savings time.
10. You should never say anything to a woman that even remotely suggests that you think she's pregnant unless you can see an actual baby emerging from her at that moment.
11. There comes a time when you should stop expecting other people to make a big deal about your birthday. That time is age eleven.
12. The one thing that unites all human beings, regardless of age, gender, religion, economic status or ethnic background, is that, deep down inside, we ALL believe that we are above-average drivers.
13. A person who is nice to you, but rude to the waiter, is not a nice person. (This is very important. Pay attention. It never fails.)
14. Your friends love you anyway.

Don't worry Gypsy...I already read that post of urs ;)
the marks of your slap is RED on my cheek!
I thank you though for this human, honest slap. Really!
This tirade is just that... tiring
People, this sitting round endlessly name-slinging, blaming, mind-murdering each other, etc. is just too much. It is easy for me sometimes to be ashamed that I am a part of this human-race, never mind a 'westerner'. This bashing just goes on. It goes on and on and on and on.. and on... and on... and on... and on... and on...
You sound like broken records. Where is the respect for all people all around you, the ones who allow you to be in their country & not forgetting your fellow countrymen who allow you the freedom to reminisce and remember the old times? Where? Never mind respect, but a gratitude to the fact that you HAVE a life, and spending it in a beautiful country. Where is the thankfulness? All I hear is negativeness and whining.....
The thread earlier was about 'wasting' energy on one certain person, yet the comms did not stop there. Walk the talk is my suggestion! Don't keep flogging a dead horse.
Instead of sitting around slamming others, slandering this one and that one, why not make yourselves useful and go to Iraq. Go help the homeless, the hungry, the destitute, the orphans, the injured, the helpless....... Be useful. Make your lives worth living, make it a useful one. This constant backwards and forwards is energy draining, you admitted it, yet you carry on.
Give it up...

Like everything there are good and bad, but the attitude of a lot of Aussies is disgusting.
When I went to Syria and Egypt so many Arabs said to us....'we would love to go to Australia'.....and I thought to myself, no you wouldn't, not with the racism the government has infused into the country over the years.
When my hsuband was coming home from Jordan last year, they stopped this 70+ Arab guy at Sydney airport and started interrogating him...even though he has been living in Oz for the last decade. My husband went at the security, calling them racist scumbags blah blah and then interrogated him...LOL....they went through his suit case and found Arabic text books which they confiscated. They couldn't understand why a westerner would speak Arabic. I could tell you so many stories that would make your blood boil!!
Ban me from the country???!!! I thought this is a free democtratic website! I thought that you say what you want, people can reply you, people can ignore you, moderators can delet/adjust your words, or even break the law & ban you. I never thought that you can take the game to the streets. You seem to have a lot of authority in the government? Are you a VIP? From which country are you? Will I be banned from the country with or without a trial? Will you allow me to have a lawyer?
I am not joking. I really wanna understand. So far, I understand that this is a democratic country & I have seen some committee of human rights. I also see that the newspapers are much better, freedomwise, than many other countries. I also remember reading in the newspapers that crime & AIDS is almost 0% here which means it is a clean healthy community but this is the 1st time actually that I hear that you can have a dispute on the internet with someone, and that someone can deport you from this country. Can you please elaborate?
I met some Australians when I was in Germany this month and the hateful stuff that came out of their mouths was just awful. They actually referred to black people by the n-word. They were heading to the States next and I told them they'd be better off going back to Australia cause that kind of attitude would get them killed in the States.

Yeah the media and the government. It's all this 'war on terror' crap that people listen to on TV (the news is shocking in Oz) and they think that most Arabs are terrorists. The funny thing is, most have never met Arabs but they are full of so much hate :( It's really sad and frustrating.
Gypsy and Bajesus what are you two doing here :P
Baj don't pay attention to him, his entire purpose in life is to make others miserable.
"I fight with love and I laugh with rage, you have to live light enough to see the humor and long enough to see some change." Ani Difranco
You've already been banned from this website. Do you want to get banned from this country as well? we've put up with you one too many times already but trust me on this things could turn REALLY ugly for you and I'll make sure to it that it happens if it's the last thing I do.
"dont mess with texas"...hahaha
Go away Banned. Nobody wants you here.
"I fight with love and I laugh with rage, you have to live light enough to see the humor and long enough to see some change." Ani Difranco
I said "you are welcome to blow me up" NOT "blow me"
I dare you bring one sentence where I said "blow me" without the "up". It is only your imagination about the "Blow" without the "up"
Lies will not take you any where
You have nice supporters here. People who support their "boys & girls" fighting in Iraq. I think this is the kind of people that QL should ignore (if there is any logic & justice in QL)
sorry if this off-topic but I'd like to ask you why is it you think Australians aren't that friendly towards Arabs? is it purely from the Media's portrayal of us or is it because of the reputation of Arab minorities over there?
well Scorpio it's not quite snow weather but it's lovely to be without ACs and open the windows to let the breeze blow over your skin. and of course the greenery is so good for the soul..although I do miss the desert...it's in my blood. But I'm not complaining!
Well I'm pissed. I've been ignoring him and letting him call me whatever name he feels like and invite me to blow him or what have you, and the day I feel like making some funny jokes to get on his nerves Qatari deletes MY post! Someone needs to get their priorities straight. :(
"I fight with love and I laugh with rage, you have to live light enough to see the humor and long enough to see some change." Ani Difranco
I would do anything to get out of this heat...LOL....I miss snow and cuddling in front of a fire place.....give me -20 anyday
I'm also in lovely green England...in Bath now...had afternoon tea in the Pump Room...loving the weather!!!!
there goes everyone agin? looks like you all cant get him out of the system and some are ready to even make fun of him. If you were really interested in ignoring him why bring up a topic relating to him so that all can have a go at him????
You are back!!! hip hip hooooooorah!
Great to see you - I'm still stuck in grey old England :o(
I drove passed Rhodean School for Young Ladies the other afternoon and thought of you ;D
Hope to catch you in the forums occasionally - I've missed you.
sounds like a personal tribute to him...lol oh well..silence is golden, you know...
hiya owen honey!!
Hi Jauntie, I agree with you. Better not to go down to his level. I did a couple of times a month or so ago but think now it's just feeding him what he wants...an audience and to wind people up.
don't respond; send him to Coventry (as we say in England) - if he get's no reaction he will quit. If he starts in a thread .. move title of thread (slightly altered) elsewhere or whatever.
Just let him know he's talkin' to the hand!
I didn't know the weather could get any colder than before I came here. Guess I should start shopping for proper clothes then. Scarlett I was studying there for 5 months...came back 3 weeks ago and on't miss a day of it! Scorpio I really wish you could go in lieu of me too...I cant be bothered to sell my furniture and stuff! and that weather...yuk!
finally..so what will be the group plan/solution on this?..ignore him, "totally"..this has happened before..and the person quit because every post this person made was totally ignored..
and mom scarlett..nothing..:D just want to greet you good eve..:D
Bloody Cold! Its snowing in Country Victoria. Going on a road trip tomorrow and Ive got to buy thermals!

goodness knows you do...so will he cause he probably doesn't want to face the repercussions...lol
Tomorrow's the weekend! :D
On second thought, my brain thinks the weekend started from today cause he hasn't been wanting to function all day long...won't even listen to me! Arghhh...
Ok I'm off to have lunch...yes lunch...cause I didn't :-(
And please everyone don't say anything really smart, cause I can't think!
one heck of a blow out????
when I shall get my birthday 'treat' of a few days in Oman :(
Life's a biatch and then yer die, and all that ...
hate you for partying without me though
you owe me LOADS now :o)
tomorrow's another day....ohh fiddledeedee!!
dp
be in his face..Great to see your smiling face here my lady...
And we continue to give him attention! There's something wrong with us, we love to talk about those who bash us! lol
Moving on...I'm not going to talk about him...I'm not going to talk about him...I not going to talk about him...but he seriously needs to get help! (damnit there i go again!)
I have the scripts here toooooo - that one is SO apt! hahahahaha
for even READING that thread - was beginning to make me so wild! I started to comment a few times and typed everything I thought - then deleted it! :o)
It really helped ! Seriously! - got it out of my system without having to get involved with an unreasonable, nasty little man who probably get's some kind of thrill out of all this winding people up on purpose.
He wouldn't be like this in a public place, that's for sure!
If this is the case, then everyone's certainly gotten their money's worth today...
Thanks for that.....ME setting a good example...LOL....don't know about that.
welcome to quiet hour...lol

just chillaxing at home ever so aimlessly as always *sigh*
hmmmm hmmm hmmmm hmmmm shlonak baj
good evening Scaro
[img_assist|nid=21285|title=.|desc=|link=none|align=left|width=180|height=180]
I hear you lol ... x
Don't give up . If certain ppl here post stupid comments then smart ppl such as yourself should stay to set a good example :))
because at the end of the day, we go back to our homes, and we have good happy lives with friends and family; but people like that actually have to live with themselves...do u know how TORTURING living with a person like that ALL ur sad miserable life ?? And that's why my dear they have to go see a shrink :-)
I made a couple of comments and gave up.....and am ignoring him!!
who isn't worth the air space he takes up for 2 days now..not after what he said about my family and friends and that they were going to be hunted and killed...THAT'S why he got banned..not his language or views.......
And stealth...stop with the "you people" we are all just who we are...stop stirring up trouble and all the doodoo will settle to the bottom where it belongs
attention for free on here..
Noone told me there were calories involved! In that case i'm ready to fight all day and all night! Bring it on! lol
But on a more serious note, did u know how many people post on a 'happy' thread with common interest and how many post on a 'bashful' one ? It's the same as the media...bad stories get more coverage. It's human nature I guess...always wanting the bad side of things. Strange. But hey we're hell of a wierd species!
And I realized after all of those arguments for the past days, is that some people really just thrive for attention (good or bad)...even if they have no clue of what they're saying! They just want the spotlight...and those people I say...GO SEE A SHRINK!
might be more interesting...
it seems it is difficult for you peeple to ignore him. Thats the crux of the matter. If you were planning to ignore someone why even bother about him?? Its just difficult to understand!!!!!!!!!!!!!
It doesn't matter what you say, he is always going to bite back...let's start some new topics.....hmmmmm...let me think
if everyone would just ignore the one person..they whole thing would end a very quick and silent death. He's not worth the calories to type something back...
I agree Scarlett, that's why I have barely been on the last few days. I just can't be bothered. It's getting really stupid!
