  1. I worked at a call center like that too once, but it was more advanced than that. We had TWO felt tip pens. A red one and a blue one the managers were far more advanced than us, and they had three felt tip pens - although they tried to hide the third felt tip pen they had, which was black, it was obvious that they had it.
  2. yes Pittsburgh's large Muslim community coming out so strongly and so quickly with the Jewish community there was just about the best thing to emerge from this horrific incident and which is the worst antisemitic incident in the history of the United States. Pennsylvania might have gone for Trump but Pittsburgh certainly didn't. Both Pittsburgh's Muslims and Jews gave him the rods at the election. He's surely not going to turn up for a visit.
  3. fallacy 'Hitler was elected'. no he wasn't.
  4. "If It Wasn’t For The Beatles We’d All Still Be Listening To Jazz." of course it is a fallacy. Jazz was never an especially popular kind of music in the first place. Anywhere. Even when it was at its peak of popularity, in the US in the 1930s it was still not the most popular kind of music.
  5. this could have happened any time. It may not having anything to do with the elections in 10 days time at all. It may not even have anything to do with what whoever did it, thinks of Trump. they've arrested somebody but that doesn't mean anything. The anthrax terrorism in 2001, just after 9/11, they've never got anybody for that. That also targeted Democratic political figures except it was far more dangerous than this - people were killed, and injured. but that time, just because the terrorism targeted Democratic political figures, did anybody blame the Republican president Bush for it? Why is it any different now? How is it 'Trump's fault' this time, when it wasn't 'Bush's fault' back then?
  6. what. It was a straight mess up. Probably the most incompetent murder of a political opponents/terrorist in a third country by anybody in the Middle East ever which is saying something, considering how many there has been and the sheer number of Middle East countries that think it is OK to just kill people anywhere. Killing the guy in the embassy. What kind of a dumbass dreamt that one up. Saudi heads are going to roll for this. Of course it was just total incompetence.
  7. it is not looking bad for the GOP at all and it is the Dems fault for being useless and not changing their attitude even though it was they who under-performed badly at the last election and not Trump. Trump is more popular, or less unpopular now than he has ever been, and it really isn't looking like it will be a wipe-out at all like the Dems were hoping for. These elections are hard to call, it depends a lot on the detail of all the hundreds of individual races around the country but it really is looking like it won't be as bad for Trump as it was when Obama got taken to the cleaners in 2010. Which means he'll class it as a victory.
  8. at least in the US that no matter who the president is they are going to out of there in eight years maximum. They are never going to be stuck with the same retard for 50 years like can happen in a monarchy.
  9. not exactly Mossad is it. also the Jordanians, who have the best spy service set-up of all the Arabs, will be laughing their heads off at the Saudis for messing it up so spectacularly badly. All that money and they are still totally useless.
  10. I wouldn't necessarily jump to that conclusion. You have no idea who it is or what their skin color is. And neither does anyone else. remember the 2002 Washington/Virginia beltway sniper terrorists? it was only a year after 9/11 but everyone, all the cops, the media, everyone, was totally convinced it was a neo-Nazi type white guy a la Timothy McVeigh. Not two guys, a group, or a team, but one guy - and there was no dispute at all, what color skin the guy's skin was. It had to be white. They were all convinced about that. so a lot of liberals were very disappointed when it turned out that they had got it spectacularly wrong, and it turned out to be, not a white guy in a white van, like they had assumed, but two black guys influenced by the Nation of Islam.
  11. it is all looking pretty good for Trump, to be honest. His approval rating is the highest it has ever been. The Democrats are losing their bottle, they are not saying they have a chance of winning the Senate any more. Their deflation is visible and they do not have the appetite for the battle that they had a month or two ago. They are looking like they will make only modest gains, less than what you would normally expect them to make in this kind of situation, with a new president.
  12. if there was a referendum on the matter then yes, the vote would be massive to retain the monarchy. At least 2:1 and very possibly even 3:1. But turnout would probably be very low. Most people just don't care. A lot of young people, in particular, are going to realise that it is totally and manifestly unjust, which it is, and an anachronism. there is no way for Republicans to get rid of the monarchy really, even if it were to get genuinely unpopular instead of most people not giving two hoots about it, unless there is some major disaster like a war, revolution, pestilence, or famine.
  13. 'even' George Soros? maybe this will mean that seeing as he is on the Nazi 'list', then the 'progressive' left, will stop hating George Soros, because he's a Jew. but somehow I doubt it. The left will still think of Soros as being a nasty Jewish capitalist even if the Nazis don't like him - that won't matter to them.
  14. you don't get it. Most people don't give two hoots for the monarchy at all. it is not a feature of or a factor in their lives. They have other things to think about. The people you are claiming 'support' the monarchy, are actually just the ones who don't want to get rid of it and consign it to history like most of the other countries in Europe have done. A lot of that 75% you claim 'support' the monarchy, actually don't care about the monarchy at all. about 30% of people really ARE supporters of the monarchy. They think its really important. but there is also a smaller number of people, I would guess a little less than 20% who not only are not supporters of the monarchy, but who would want to get rid of it. but most people don't care about the monarchy at all.
  15. if there was a referendum about it, most people would vote to retain it. Have no doubt about that. It would be about 2:1. but only about 30% of people actually have any real belief in the monarchy. a lesser number about 20%, don't believe in it at all, and would want to get rid of it. the rest don't care and would just wait to see where the wind blows.
  16. your pre-assuming that there is a need for a royal set-up in the first place. They may not be a need for it at all. France, Germany, Italy and most of the rest of the countries in Europe, who used to have it, seem to do reasonably well without it. And no, they don't miss it. Apart from a few retards. it's not as popular as it may seem. Most people, in most countries, do not like having a monarch-type figure who's succession is based on an hereditary line, as the head of state. It is just wrong and plainly and clearly unjust. If you can't see that then there's something wrong with you. It is well out of step with the modern world and there is no doubt about that. The trouble is that there is no way to get rid of it without there being a war or a violent revolution, and nobody wants that.
  17. I'd defiantly recommend it too.
  18. Iran is laughing. They are always delighted when the Sauds and Turks have umbrage. They don't particularly give a toss about the west.
  19. Do not bring overlarge baby buggies on the tram. Your baby is only small. There is no need for the baby buggy which contains the baby, to be the same size as the model of a combine harvester they use in an agricultural college to show the students exactly how the combine harvester works. If, in the opinion of our staff, your baby buggy is too large, you will be fined £10.
  20. sorry I don't make a habit of going to totally nondescript looking Italian-type restaurants anywhere. what was that place BEFORE it was Vito's? Do you know?
  21. ok so the Netto, who have gone out of business everywhere else as well, has been replaced by an Asda. Isn't that progress. the restaurants are obviously terrible the few that have remained restaurants keep changing from one genre to the next for no apparent reason. It is unlikely that whatever type of food somebody wants to sell, be it Lebanese or Japanese is going to sell in Walkley. Nobody wants to know. Half the pubs have shut down. It is a nice area like I said but nobody is going to make a mint there any time soon.
  22. it was never that great. But the peak years for Walkey were probably around 2000-2002. That was when it looked kind of half good. I'll repeat that it was never that advanced in the first place. But now it looks a lot less good than it did then even. Whereas Abbeydale road looks a lot better now than back then. People actually go there, for the specific reason, to buy a meal in a restaurant or have a drink. That does not happen in Walkley these days. It is a pity because it is a nice area.
  23. July. Dreadful. Although Walkey has never been much of a thriving area really, the restaurants in particular looked very poor. It just just doesn't compare to Abbeydale road at all which actually looks like a street in quite a prosperous US city. South Road looked like a street in some garbage half-dead town in north east Pennsylvania.
  24. they should definitely upgrade and modernise the warnings. On Friday and Saturday nights they should warn people alighting from trams in town to be careful not to trip over homeless people and beggars.
  25. last time I was there the Walkey shops were in a dreadful state. If young professionals really do live there they for sure don't shop there.
